What's the span and centers?

What does it look like? Any pics?

Any chance it was broken before packing? Poor photo but looks like mortar in the join?

Not polyfilla, will crack. Cheap and quick - grab a handful of loft insulation and stuff it in there. There's professional stuff for this (compraband?) but expensive. Or caulk/mastic gun the gaps. I did that under some skirtingboards to stop a breeze

Using my example.of phones - It will connect to router 2, only if it loses signal to router 1. On windows you can configure ConnectToBestWifiService - to swap as described. Not (to my knowledge) on mobile devices, or android. Happy to learn if you can show me!

Won't the experience be suboptimal? Your WiFi device won't connect to the different router/ssid based on signal strength that way. So you connect your phone to wifi on router 1, full signal. Go to other side of house, where there is barely any signal / bandwidth for router 1. Router 2 is there...

Now that I can do

And if I had a drill, jigsaw and sharp chisels in case the jigsaw blade wanders - acceptable?

Central heating pipes on the ground floor have no lagging. Subfloor is well ventilated (read that as same temp as outdoors). Before winter kicks in, I want to lag/insulate the pipes. However, they are all in very shallow notches and the pipes are mm's away from the floorboards. How is best to...

I've been asked by wifey to fit a new letter plate / tidy on the front door. The door in an old (1920s) solid wood and the existing rectangular hole needs enlarging. What is the best method to do so? Sure, I can butcher it, and my sins will be hidden from everyone apart from the postie...

Hard to see whether the wall is flush with the rafter... Really cheap and simple: wedge /fold loft insulation to close the gap. Or Fix plasterboard/ply to the wall closing the gap. If this leaves a gap by the rafter, affix a bit to the rafter to close the gap. Once gap is closed - up to...

I think so. I got 12 of the same LED, as its a smaller golfball form. The others are in various bedside lamps. I don't notice a delay turning these on (goes and turns one on to be sure). I do get the delay turning 8 on using the varilight vpro. Maybe it's the bulbs - it's the only dimmable...

+1 for the varilight vpro Running 8 leds in a dimmable globe monstrosity wifey loves. Only niggle with led dimming is the minor delay between turning the switch on and seeing light

ELV. Pedant. Baths are also for relaxing. I guess you've never shared a candlelit bath... Then why do pull cord lights exists for the bathroom? I see now why everyone here bullies you.

Splash proof rating for peace of mind. Guessing it was - for convenience - the pull cord is by the door. The bath and shower are either side of the door. A switch on the other side of the room will work, but inconvenient.

Maybe contentious, hence the ask! Bathroom being tiled next week. Wife would like dimmable low voltage led strips fitted in the niches, above the bath. She'd also like to swap out the ceiling downlights with dimmable ones. I've found these varilight touch dimmers but cannot find an IP rating...

Surely this is a troll at work.

But.... why? Leave it
