    Would a car radiator fan work better if it didnt blow the hot air back on the engine?

    How can I open a stuck upvc window?

    Thanks for your help John, it's a gate that a neighbour made some time ago, has been propped against the fence for a few years. I could do with cutting the height down to just under 4 foot, I think it's 5 now. The main supporting wood isn't actually joined together. If I renovate it what sort...
