Mac laptop battery life used to be way better than PCs. Don’t know if it is still true, but worth checking. There used to be a massive rush to charge PC laptops at lunchtime and few sockets

Most students have laptops. A desktop isn’t really that suitable for uni these days. Unis tend to give 5 or more Tb of online storage to every student and tend to insist on work being saved to the uni system in order to protect it against individual machine failure. If a student’s...

Hit and miss fence

My local council are installing chargers on lamp posts. They are also installing plastic/metal gutters across pavements similar to the gutters that allowed rainwater to cross pavements. In terraced area, they allow roadside charging Quite a few car parks in town and at my workplace have fast...

A lot of fans don’t switch with the LED loads

Some people use insulation panels as a stand-off. You can use the same bit many times before replacing it. Gives good support

Is this in conjunction with the bathroom light? Is it an LED lamp?

I think it was water based?

Just to point out that the estimated £10 million includes all the legal costs - which won’t be cheap.

My floor is 50’s parquet with bitumen ( that’s the DPC) and my guy had no issues sanding . To generate enough heat you’d be wearing away the blocks! They are generally 20-25mm thick. He used Bona products.

When I swapped the overhead light in my 1980’s extension for another, the wires were just twisted together and wrapped in tape. Can’t believe that a pro did that?

Thanks I can buy bendy MDF - I just need to pack it out to somewhere near 18-22mm so could do it in stages.

I am working on my stairs and the bottom step is a bullnose (90° bend) Ideally I would use 18mm MDF as that gives me a spacer of the right size for the upstand. I could use thinner then pack it out. I have access to track saws and a chop saw. How do you determine the area to kerf ? Bend a...

The foam is 13mm on a scaff tube protector. If you maintain the circular form, and offset it from the actual hard edge then it will cushion to 20/25mm. You’d get scaff foam for £1/1.50 a metre. Being yellow it helps as you might need to add hazard tape to pipe insulation.

Not sure about using the built in Bluetooth but I believe there are transmitters that allow several receivers to connect. I use BT senders /headphones at work but all mine are cheap and only connect to one unit at a time.

Yeah, sensible way would have been to build the wall facing end flat on the floor first, then lift it up and build the rest off the finished end.

You could slide in a pre cut panel of sheet material that is pre painted or covered in a weatherproof finish. Maybe use hardboard templates to get the dimensions ? Even the stuff they use in showers - hardie board? I’d use the vertical 2x4’s as jointing and fix blocks to the sectioned sheet...

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0B155DS8N?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_product_details I bought one of these in early Jan to put into my front porch (on the wall) as it’s dark when finding the key holes. So far it’s very bright and works well although it switches off quite quickly once you go out of...
