Do you get a click from the starter motor? If you do but it is not cranking, you could have hydro-locked the engine. Equally though, it could just be waterlogged electrics. Does it only have electric start or is there a manual handle/cord

My personal thoughts on EV cars are that they are brilliant but catastrophically flawed in that they have a battery that has to be charged by the end user. This is also a battery that will degrade and render the car useless before the rest of it's components are worn out. I think a push needs to...

Are you mixing up me and the OP? My wooden floor was about 70% of the area and the other 30% was concrete. I never did like my wooden floor but my hand was forced due to the damage to it caused by the builders. The 30% concrete part was new and already had Celotex under, the old suspended floor...

I was lucky enough to have a pretty decent concrete slab under my suspended wooden floors so I removed them, blinded the concrete with sand and leveled, tanked with thick DPC and used 200mm of Celotex to build up the height within 60mm of the concrete floor adjacent. I then tanked over the top...

I did this in my wifes walk in wardrobe, it looks a bit OTT but she wanted as many rails as as possible at different heights. I used https://www.themetalstore.co.uk/ for all the fixings...

Beat me to it by a few seconds!

You could consider a "goal post" arrangement? The sides of the goal post could reach the floor or skirting to take the downward weight and then the plasterboard fixings would only really serve to stop it falling forwards or backwards. Something as thing as a strip of wood skirting would probably...

Scrapping perfectly good cars is certainly not the answer (and adds massively to global warming) especially given the small amount of older cars on the road and the fact that the vehicles tyres emit significantly more particulates than the exhaust. Most of the reports pertaining to deaths caused...

I have to say I've been really impressed with Eufy but apart from a few different features there doesn't seem to be much it and both are continually updating both their apps and their products.

.......and this is my doorbell, it's the older single camera version...

When you view a camera or item, it has a little battery icon, the same as on a mobile phone, it has little bars that drop and then go yellow and finally red when it is very low. They use a USB Type C charge socket so either an extension cable with a phone charger or just pop the camera off...

Here is a screenshot from my front garden, taken from a live camera (so moving image), it is excellent quality even at night time

I know the Pros won't agree but I have a Eufy system and I have 2 door sensors, 5 cameras (including one that is mains powered and one is the doorbell) and an entry keypad. I find it excellent to be honest. It is not recording 24/7 but I can adjust what the camera reacts to so I can pick "Human"...

I've actually seen threads by people that quite possibly follow Brian Cox and the Late Stephen Hawking and one ^^^^^ by a person always trying to make out he is clever with sources in some very far fetched places, one who starts a thread and changes his predictions but still has the audacity to...

I think that is the point, it depends where time is observed from. Physics dictates, currently, that you cannot go back in time but time can slow down or even stop for something travelling at high speed or subject to a strong gravitational pull. To the "people" that time has slowed down for, it...

Mrs Bodged had some knickers stolen off the line some years ago, she never bothered reporting it because the old boy stealing them had already been caught (he was later charged). He got a 3 month suspended sentence so no point in reporting something that the police were already aware of and had...

That necrophiliac Sparky took 4 million pictures of himself committing "offences" on corpses over a 12 year period but he was charged with only 33. Along with murder charges and a handful of other charges, he got a whole life sentence. It is known for police to make a sample case where it is not...

The centre of the Earth is 2.5 years younger than the crust due to time passing slower at the centre https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_time_dilation

Time travel is possible if you compare it to something relative. Traveling faster slows down time as does getting closer to a gravitational pull so if a person was travelling extremely fast and close to a strong gravitational pull, that person would experience time at a slower rate than, say...

That wall and the render on it looks very old indeed, I doubt there ever were any cavity trays fitted but if there are you would be able to see weep holes, possibly sticking out of the render to allow the water to drain if it has soaked through the wall. I'm not an expert but I can't help but...
