    Yes, it IS rocket science !

    Watched the news a couple of days ago, with great interest in the SpaceX rocket launch/programme....... So how does the biggest, heaviest rocket ever made, after being launched and flying halfway around the world, manage to ' gently land', arse end first into the ocean ? I mean, this thing...

    Advice on 600x300 wall tile

    Yip, couldn’t agree with you more. I’ve posted before about the old trick of marking your tile heights on your 1800 level in whiteboard marker pen, then putting that level on the wall and moving it up and down to find the best compromise of the heights .

    DIY trellis making

    Thanks Rusty, I’m coming round to that way of thinking. Buying 6 x 4 decent thickness stuff, pressure treated, and in ‘privacy’ screen ( 2” squares to me and you) is £1.50 more than what I can get just the wood for. Manufacturer via Fleabay

    Bosch Dishwasher not draining

    I had similar problem last year, though not a bosch. Engineer traced the fault to a broken wire in the wire harness which flexes every time the door is opened and closed. He told me it's a very common problem.

    Screw extraction

    One option is to drill into the remaining screw head with a large drill bit diameter, say 10mm, till you've opened the hole enough to get the bolt off. Then see what's left and decide if you can either remove it by unscrewing with e.g. Pliers or molegrips, or you decide " if they're not coming...

    Hot tubs

    I agree with Foxhole; try an inflatable one first before committing to real money. I had one for 3 years, up to and including the first lockdown, and absolutely loved it, especially in the rain. Loved to go open water swimming in it ….
