A brick is about 100mm across. If you have a handy brick. However you could carefully add concrete in layers, making sure that it doesn’t fall into the cavity. Shove a bit of cardboard folded in half through the gap and have string in the centre, pull the string tight so the card holds it...

If worried about it falling onto you , cut it down in stages. Takes longer but is safer. You could also tie the pole where it comes above the wall top. Personally, I wouldn’t worry about the post below the join and would simply remove the post from the join and keep the rest. It could be useful...

Never tried but how about curved ply ribs held in place by small dabs of spray foam? Once fixed in place, adding more foam and you can (on most foams?) spray the outside of foam to harden it so it stops growing and becomes more dense.

Clean the whole area. Remove loose material. You could make a timber shutter and mix some mortar so you could extend the existing wall skirt to the post. This assumes that the gate opens inwards. If the gate opens out, and needs that gap to open, you could tidy it up with an angle grinder and...

You could fix a carving knife to the steering wheel, pointed at your chest. It won’t fix the seatbelt, but I’ll bet that you drive so carefully that the seatbelt never gets any strain on it.

There’s no way I’d trust that belt to save my life

Can’t comment on the fix But isn’t that an MOT failure?

I wouldn’t be concerned, but a random worker replacing tiles should be aware that using a vacuum to clean up could spread more fibres (if any exist) into the air. An H grade cleaner would be safer. You could do a home test? A sample could be taken if there is a broken one and it might give peace...

Fix your fence panels to the chain link.

You can buy mortar rakes for angle grinders

If post one has a rear slot then you could fix timber to that, most posts have bolt holes in them. Then move the proposed fence line back 4” to go straight. Then do similar on post four? But with an angled timber post. There are various posts that have different slot orientations, so you could...

I don’t understand the question as written, but pop rivet guns come either in different sizes, or have swappable “chucks” for different rivet diameters. Rivets come in different depths, and washers allow the rivet face to be bigger

Mapledurham Mill shown above, as seen in The Eagle Has Landed

Thanks, cdbe’s diagram shows exactly what I propose. The original question was based on height The fence is entirely on my land, I put it up using a string line that placed the new fence entirely on the line of the original fence provided by the builders. If anything, as the original posts...

My semi has a side passage that’s about 4 feet wide and widens as it goes back to the rear. The garage has a sloping roof and the soffits are about 8/feet high. At present the fence along the side is about 5 feet including a small trellis type top (and knackered) with concrete posts. The...

The wall is probably not flat. Technically, you could scribe it but most would rely on filler.

Why not simply take the doors out and brick it up? You should be able to find similar stone to match the house. Adding a largish window would make visual sense with the lintel, and save on stone/brick. My area has loads of 3 bed semis with integrated garages that have been bricked up and have...

Do you own a router?

Many uni lecture rooms and classrooms are not equipped with a mains socket for every seat. Some large lecture theatres built or refurbished in the last decade might be but not many
