    Our Jaws Hit The Floor!

    When I added myself (60s) as a named driver on my mums (90s) insurance her premium reduced significantly even though I truthfully said that I would very rarely drive the car. Might be worth a try.

    Zigbee range, looking at ways to extend it?

    Also if you are moving a zigbee device to a new physical location it can take ages to rebuild the mesh, the lamp may still be trying to communicate through a repeater near its original location. You might need to switch off some other zigbee devices to encourage the mesh to rebuild.

    Zigbee range, looking at ways to extend it?

    Any zigbee device that is powered by the mains (not battery) will act as a range extender, so in this case another zigbee smart plug half way between the car and the shed.

    LED Bulbs - Warm Appear Cool White

    Halogen bulbs tend to change colour to a warmer shade when dimmed. LEDs won't do that. If you are used to seeing the halogen bulbs in a dimmed state any LED is likely to look cool in comparison.

    Call from plod.

    If you believe that the call is from your bank still hang up and call the bank on a number that you already have for them. Preferably call them from a different phone as the scammer may have kept the line open and be playing you a recording of a dial tone.

Just try it on a tyre and check that it does actually increase the tyre pressure when you pump. I'm sure it...

    Drainage hose issues, is this plumbed in correctly

    Hoses are available with elbows on both ends but they tend to be expensive. The valve could be replaced with an elbow washing machine valve, this would be my preference. A bit more could be notched out of the shelf, although you don't have much material supporting the back of the shelf now.
