    Can anyone ID this capacitor please? Linked to....

    Thanks both. For the cost of a punt on one of these v's replacement item, it's a no brainer to have a go at.... even if it pops the next one too. Anyone know why it might have happened? Do cap's just die? Juicer is about 10 years old and had just come out from a very long non-use period. As I...

    Right To Refuse Payment?

    Second this...;making your position crystal clear.. and yes as others have said tell them also that you will be making a social media stink over this too.

What kind of coverage is there from eaves? Is this exposed to driving rain? Is there a fall going...

    Door canopy/porch repair

    Material appears to be natural stone which is eroding. Nothing much to worry about. Just getting wet and freezing, then sun etc etc. Leadworking is not easy to get to look very good if you are new to it. Alternatively you could apply some WT1....

    Door canopy/porch repair

    I would say the best long term option would be to get it covered in lead. Code 4. A layer dressed over then with a flashing strip let into the mortar join two bricks up. Like this image, but really lead, not GRP! https://www.lbsbmonline.co.uk/epsom-flat-lead-effect-roof-grp-door-canopy

    Can't say your wrong about that- winning the war, but one does have to choose one's battles. Confess to not having understood anything about OP wanting money to act.

    Round head, not brad nailer,... but less than 50mm long?

    Nailed it! Thanks! Clearly this is the spec that I was not finding in the usual places. They are all out of my price bracket though, maybe I'll hire one... Didn't think of starting with the nails as a search. Cheers!

    Round head, not brad nailer,... but less than 50mm long?

    Thanks Thanks for the post... I should have said- I have a compressor and was aiming for an air nailer. I don't follow the rest of yours...? Do you mean you know of air nailers that shoot shorter than 50mm round head nails? I mean I know they exist as someone is making (my) fence panels with...
