You can spray some of the acetone cleaner on the end of the nozzle to clean it. This may not be needed, if you scrape off the foam when you next use it. You don’t need to ‘flush’ it

What sort of soil is it? Sandy, clay, or loam? My local cheapo supplier offers “re-shredded mushroom compost” as a soil conditioner. I guess other products will be available elsewhere, including “council” compost that they’re not allowed to describe as “compost” because someone might have put a...

One place I’ve bough from describes their bags as “25kg / 20l”. You want 2 x 55 x 0.25 = 27.5 cubic feet = 3x3x3 feet = 90x90x90 cm = 9x9x9 litres = 729 litres = 900 kg I reckon you need one bulk bag. Are you sure you want topsoil, rather than some sort of mulch?

What are you supposed to do with the earths?

Unless you have very low signal strength where you are, it will be fine. The RF input circuitry just amplifies the signal to the level it needs.

Ask them what they want.

With no window, the light will always be on when the room is used. So connecting the fan to the light is fine.

Yeah. Unless you're not going to use if for a year or two.... which is the position I've found myself in. It does eventually gunge up, and at that point you might as well replace the gun.

What's the construction of the existing wall? Are you going to redecorate both? I have taped corners like that (and ceiling joins). Same as corner in new plasterboard; apply compound, bed paper tape into compound, more compound over etc. Note I am a complete amateur.

The liquid doesn't start to expand and harden until it has left the gun nozzle into the atmosphere. The liquid in the gun tube should, in theory, happily remain liquid for a long time, just like the liquid that is still in the can. Once you remove the empty can from the gun, the liquid in the...

Paint it on, trompe l’oeil.

How cold does it get where you live? Consider it this way - if it’s going to freeze, it will freeze on the coldest night of the winter … which is exactly when you want the heating to be working.

The crucial thing is that you get a dimmer switch and an LED light that are compatible with each other. Actually fitting the switch should be simple enough. If you're completely removing the lights, you mustn't leave live wires in the wall. What is the construction of the wall? If the wires...

There are a few sockets that claim to accept 4 x 2.5mm² cables, here’s one: https://assets.cef.co.uk/downloads/pdg/scolmore_prw036_datasheet/scolmore_prw036_datasheet.pdf As others have said, you need to investigate why there are four cables there as it is unusual. You cannot use the socket...

The experts will be along soon, but I believe it is fine (and normal) to connect a 16A oven and a hob to a 32A circuit.

Replacing the current missing ones will not stop the next lot from falling.

Warning ancient thread!

“Dairy Bleach” - wow, I’d love to know the chemistry behind that. Genetically engineered cows maybe?

No idea, sorry. Nothing on my roof seems to cost less than about £10,000.

The other access options are "cherry picker" (vehicle platform) and rope-access. Cherry pickers are good for small jobs where there is access for the vehicle. Rope access can be useful if there's a roof hatch for access, or similar. Trades tend to quote based on what they have, i.e. if the...
