    I think the only time I did any was in college nearly 50 years ago!

    running wires in conduit

    There's a member on here, (RF Lighting), who used to do a lot of MICC, (pyro), work. His layouts were works of art. Fantastic skillset. Try searching for some of his posts to see some examples.

    Does Short Circuit Damage Car Battery ?

    If it was just a brief touch, it may or may not, have affected one or two cells without too much damage. Anything longer than that, and I would be considering a new battery may be required. Did the leads feel hot after contacting?

    How to use an orbital sander!

    Keep the abrasive paper flat against the wood and use light pressure for smoothing. If you are stripping paint/varnish you can apply a bit more pressure, but the secret is to keep the sanding head spinning without slowing it down too much. Practice on some scrap wood. Trial and error is the best...

    do they get the toys inside? Smash the glass and replace it each time? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-australia-68163418

    Driving Offence — Intended Prosecution

    Three times, in over 30 years of driving, I've been rear-ended. Each time my car was a write off but, like you, I always keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front. If anyone gets too close, I just gently ease off the accelerator, never dab the brakes or brake sharply. Eventually they will...

    What have you been doing today?

    Unfortunately, private. Can't find an NHS dentist anywhere that could have a look within 6 weeks.

    What have you been doing today?

    Quick trip to the dentist to have my gums checked before starting chemo next week. Wanted to remove my sole remaining tooth as, "it looks odd just sitting there on it's own." Told him it was staying where it was until it fell out of it's own accord. Never given me any trouble and if he removed...

    Broken door handle

    That looks as though the handle goes through the faceplate and is held in place with a shim and a circlip. I would suggest just buying a new pair of handles, which come with a new bar, and throw the old handles away. Much quicker and easier than trying to drill holes and tapping threads to...

    How To Bond Peel & Stick Vinyl Tiles To Porcelain

    We used this in college, to stick down some carpet tiles that had come loose, after being laid by professionals. It is good stuff because they ones I laid are still in position over 2 years later. They were laid on screeded floors. The gaps at the end, mentioned in the review, may be due to the...

    This makes me so angry!

    I agree with the comments you have all made. I think during my time frame, this stuff went on but it was aimed at the late-teens, early twenties rather than small children. There is no easy solution. Except for parents to say, "Hang on, I'm just lining the pockets of other people instead of...

    This makes me so angry!

    Why are shops letting children try these products in-store? Why are parents buying the damned things for them? Why are children being allowed, by their parents, to watch these videos on social media? Why aren't children being allowed to be children for Gods sake? Eight years of age and they are...

    Carpet advice

    A good carpet fitter will make the join practically invisible, with no danger of a child, dragging stuff across and exposing it.

    Please explain enigmatic post. It makes this site look like FB when someone posts such a comment to attract attention.

    Concrete around pipes

    I think you need to investigate further, where they go, are they 'live' and why they are so near the surface.

    Blade found - what to do?

    I would say that, morally, you have a duty of care to report finding the blade. This will probably lead to the company issuing a general safety reminder to check they have cleared up all debris before leaving site, so it won't be directed at anyone in particular. They may even thank you for...

    I Pods.

    Do they still sell the I-Pods you could get years ago, (the little square things you tucked in your top pocket), or are these gizmo's now linked through your 'smart' phone? Just looking for something simple that will store hundreds of tunes/songs that I can access through a click of a button...

    Looking for transformer

    The IP68 M on that model means it is 'suitable' for full immersion at no more than 1 metre depth. If it's in a dry area, an IP of 4X would suffice.
