    brackets needed for CCTV cameras

    They look like they would work however I would be extremely wary of buying anything from B&Q that they are not actually directly selling as if you have any issues you will not be dealing with B&Q you will be dealing with the third party sellers who are typically a nightmare. In principle it's a...

    Loft storage. New joists on pole plate

    What is the span from one end to the other, how will you even get them in the loft? In any loft conversion I've been involved in (I know this isn't a loft conversion per se) you keep the new floor completely separate from the existing ceiling (and their joists) otherwise when the new floor sags...

    New extension to an existing old extension without paperwork

    You were clear and we understand but the new orange extension is not PD. If the existing extension did not exist then then the orange bit would be PD. But you wish to add to an existing extension (that would not be PD) ie the existing extension would require PP. Therefore anything you wish to...

    What have you been doing today?

    It could be worse, I'm off to watch Avatar with my eldest, I can't stand this film series, I got about 20mins into the first one and gave up. :LOL: Still as it's such a short film I'll be home by about 2pm! Then off for a bike ride at Holden with the youngest this afternoon.

    Washing airfryers

    We use the liners now but don't cook big joints of meat so washing is largely a thing of the past, I've seen videos of people putting boiling water in them with some washing up liquid and then putting it back into the air fryer to cook for a bit on a high heat. It's the trays that are the PITA...

    Leak Help! Cavity tray? Roof? Help!

    There should be a tray immediately above the flat roof, if installed correctly they cannot allow rainwater past ergo the tray must be installed incorrectly/missing.

    New wooden door swelling...

    Did you not read any of the reviews? 73% of the reviews say it's terrible, it's a wonder anyone would ever buy it give the reviews. Or that B&Q even publish the reviews.

    Choosing a Bosch impact driver for screw driving

    Don't you just hold the trigger a tiny bit for low torque and the further you pull the trigger the higher the torque. That's how mine seems to work anyway.

    Hisense AX5125H

    In the real world the subwoofer typically goes in the corner or somewhere else out of sight. Because you know, it's a fecking great big ugly black box and generally people don't want to be able to see it.
