Hi As title suggests, this isn’t about removal of usual old sealant. We have a fair bit of really hard silicone which has stuck hard to the upvc window frame. It’s probably been there since we had a new kitchen about ten years ago. I’ve tried Soudal and cutting knife but that’s making v...

Hi We had a bathroom leak, which has now been sorted. (Over six months ago so dried out now) Unfortunately the leak caused some damage to kitchen ceiling below. Pictures attached. 3/4 pictures are of same area. There doesn’t seem to be visible bowing, but quite a few deep cracks to...

Hi Please see photos of two hydrangeas in our border. I haven’t done any dead heading yet. Should I wait a few weeks, or should I just leave them as they are? Thanks

Sorted now. Didn’t need either of them two smaller pieces. Take care.

Hi Hoping someone can save me an embarrassing return trip to Halfords. Bought single rear wiper for wife’s 2015 Polo. Used her reg to order part W301. Told er indoors wouldn’t need to pay for fitting, easy blah blah. Removed old blade easily. However, replacement has three parts as shown...

Sorry-realise my previous response needs explaining. Replacing bolt and bolt keep. Ergo, need to remove latter. Thanks a bunch.

No need to keep bolt keep. Update-can’t “prise” screws or bolt keep off (or move screw heads away from bolt) with flat blades screwdriver. Also unable to get vice grips around screw heads. Will have to invoke left handed drill option. Watch this space. Thanks

Need to replace with new bolt. (Same size) Thanks Noted. Thanks.

Thought you were being rude then Do you mean screw, whole thing?

Thanks for further responses. I’m out at the moment, but pretty certain the heads are too flush to use mole grips. (Will try) The other issue is the screws are fitted very close to the frame. Think it will probably have to be reverse drill bit malarkey.

Many thanks for prompt responses.

Hi See section of internal door bolt. The heads have been destroyed over the years. I’m replacing doir fittings so want to remove this. At the moment there’s not enough exposed to twist with pliers. I think I need to drill into screw (anti clockwise) and then remove with one of those screw...

Another view showing height of spuds.

Hi All See attached image of spuds. I tried to “hill” for a second time a few weeks ago. Quite a few flowers there, but know that’s not a reliable indicator of time to harvest. Also managed to break (not entirely) a few stalks while hilling. The leaves and stalks are still pretty green, so...

Thanks, I wasn’t sure there was an email for this sort of thing. It does me you laugh though. A perfect storm of new meter and reading coinciding, and the glitch will never be sorted.

Update You couldn’t make this up. I previously rang BG to explain I’d entered 37293, instead of 37. (New meter, not sure how to read it etc) Lady I spoke to checked and said everything looked good at her end. Fast forward to today, when had request for another meter reading. App confirmed...

Sorry. Misunderstood the wording. Know what you mean. Thanks

Thanks. Thanks. Can you differentiate between cutting and stripping.

Noted. Do I have to wait for them all to come back before digging out the soil and roots?

Thanks for all the v helpful replies. Forgot to mention I drenched the joints with Weedol. Only thing is I think it may be the glyphosate free variety.
