    Door handle retention screws - Why so bad?

    Lots of good advice here. It does seem a recurring problem.. I've seen entire office buildings where the joiners have bodged them with the short screws into the wood and then by the time all the handles are loose and falling off they are long gone. Through bolts are the way to go

    Elon Musk and the $1 trillion pay offer

    Well aware of that, having visited most countries in Europe. But they have higher taxes which I also don't like among other things. I love the UK, but if we could stop illegal immigration and could improve our transport infrastructure it would be a better country.

    Ideas for lifting a 1200x2400x12.5mm plasterboard on highest part of stairs working alone - 4.3m

    Use 900 x 1200 boards for easier handling. Think about the weight of the dot & dab on the back too. Rent a small 2-in-1 stairway/ladder platform that you can adjust and make taller as you go, and work from the bottom up.
