My house has thresholds between rooms (oak or similar boards) so flooring height isn’t so much of an issue. I laid the cheapest laminate in my bedroom at about £3.50 sq M years ago. My boards have a really annoying groove between each board - they are T&G but there is enough gap to loose a...

What make amp? It’s better to modify the amp than rely on an extra transformer. Many create horrible noise on the mains.

Any fall arrest system should include a rescue plan. You can die in a fall arrest way more quickly than you’d think https://fallarrest.com/suspension-trauma/#:~:text=Suspension%20trauma%20is%20simply%20fainting,lose%20consciousness%20and%20eventually%20die.

Concrete spurs in the ground and bolt the wooden post to it? There are plastic posts

Maybe she was convinced of his innocence? He never pleaded guilty.

https://www.drainagesuperstore.co.uk/browse/ducting/electric-cable-ducting-coils.html You’d do better to scrap the plastic drain pipe and go for proper ducting if the idea is to allow replacement. Plastic pipe is more likely to leak at joints or degrade. Follow installation instructions as some...

How about 4 rather than two builders trestles ? Two pairs parallel at each end with a bearer across them. Then scaff planks

I am not qualified but would expect that it needs to be armoured and laid with hazard tape above the run? Someone could dig with a digger or such and take out the plastic pipe and un armoured cable. 1M is a bit deep (0.5 minimum) as digging a narrow 1M trench is hard without making it very...

That looks like a type sold by John Lewis? I have that and there are mid track supports so nothing can be slid along the track. the track has runners hanging down below

Don’t breach the DPC

Ok. So I have a slightly triangle shaped side passage due to my house being on a corner. The fence that I put in has concrete posts, about 4 feet high. They will be 12-24” into the ground (concreted) The paving next to the fence is just slabs laid on sand. I’d like to cover the passage for...

In areas that are likely soaked you could use acrylic splash backs? Or use cheap arrylic from greenhouse type places screwed in the higher risk areas. That gives the ability to put paper/pictures/logos under the plastic. The more normal areas could be simply painted. Someone I know had a desktop...

Not a pro, but I don’t think there are regs that force frosted glass? Sometimes Building Control/planning would insist on it if windows are close to each other.

Sound fair for a day’s work? My back light that operate on PIR can be powered on or off via a switch that I installed in the garage. But if I wanted them on all night, I switch the power on and off quickly which tells the PIR to ignore its signals and stay on until the sensor detects daylight...

Most builders can build a contact fit 2x2 frame and tape heavy polythene to it. You can also but sheets with a zip type door, although no idea how good they are...

You should be able to sand the chrome effect off. There are “chrome effect” paints but you may be better to use a bright colour.

When I built a recording studio in a garage we used rockwool as the floor, then glued the chipboard together to form one massive sheet as we went. So long as you’re careful in installation you can float the entire floor without issue. Or create small pads of concrete as bearers for timber...

I’d be wary of free weights on a chipboard floor? Ply might be better? No matter how careful you are, a weight will get dropped. There are rubber mats that might mitigate accidents.

Are you looking to use free weights? Keeping the garage door and bare walls?
