    Plumbing stacked washer from new utility

    Yonks ago my mum had hover washing machine and tumble driers stacked. A TD is way lighter and there was a band that sat on top of the WM with a lip that the TD sat in. I can’t believe that something universal isn’t made these days. What is the floor of the WC ?

    Remove Dent in Convector Heater.

    As said, remove the top. A couple of strong boards on each side of the dent also covering some of the un dented portion A series of G clamps pulling the boards together should squeeze the panel flat. If you are lucky, you may be able to remove the dented panel once the top is off and simply...

    Hedgecutting and bird's nests

    Although it may be unlikely that a bird will be nesting, if there is one, you will be committing an offence.

    Is there a starter in there? (White cylinder)

    Empty toner cartridges

    At work, they are collected in cardboard deposit boxes and recycled. Because it’s a big site, we actually have the Kyocera photocopier people based on site. I would guess that local governments have bins at the dump?

    Extending height of garden gate

    Trellis works well and is recommended by the police for fences. Making something that is too wobbly to climb stops people trying to. A spot of anti climb paint won’t hurt.

    Help with Shed Base

    I don’t know if they are better, but there are posts made of recycled plastic that wouldn’t rot if used as a bearer for a shed? Presumably they are UV stable

    Dishwasher tilting, how do I secure it properly?

    You’d have to pull it out to see, (by lowering the legs) But they may have just shimmed the front, while it needs one at the back. As said, it should be side screwed into the adjoining units, but if you pack the top and then adjust the feet to jack it up against the top it should stay

    Path built half way up air brick. Can I sanity check my planned fix

    You could build a small concrete barrier around the vent a couple of inches high, or if you cut a small section away, make an upstand to divert any excessive water away. Something simple like a tile would do. I’s be tempted to do nothing but keep an eye on it.

    Path built half way up air brick. Can I sanity check my planned fix

    As above. However rather than lifting an entire slab, you could use an angle grinder with cutting disc or stitch drill an area just in front of the air brick and break out a bite of the slab. I doubt that it’s worth it,, but it’s easy to do. Cables shouldn’t be so close to the surface and you...

    Point loads for heavy sculpture

    And transport it across the floor? A pallet truck will have four wheels, imagine that as a point load.

    How to fix pieces of MDF on landing

    That looks like plasterboard to me? If it creates grey dust then it is. If it’s MDF, then simply pushing it back in place will put it under tension as it would appear to be too big for the gap and needs a tiny bit removed off it’s length. You could use an oscillating cutter on the seam to...

    Exterior yard wall - knock down and rebuild or strengthen single skin side

    You could build a single skin wall with pillars? Depends on what uses fewer bricks. Or - if you plan on a shed, build the new inner wall with concrete blocks so the outside looks consistent.

    Firefighters get killed after fuel spills or refinery fires. Deepwater Horizon anyone?

    Air compressor in a humid cellar

    How big a compressor? I have a small one, so it has to run a lot. It’s very noisy (sealy 24 litre ) and when topping up you can hear it all over the house from a built in garage. I’d build a kennel type shelter outside. Our massive one at work is in a different brick built space. Damp air...

    Heat Resistant shelving?

    Airing cupboards like mine simply use shelves made of 2x1 which are fixed in a ladder frame style. My shelves are a good 20 years old and flat as flat. You could buy stainless steel shelves if you can find some near the correct size? Costco used to be full of shiny open shelved units that...
