    How do they do it? Why doesn't the wall suffer from weakness?

    I'm sure they do. Very much so. The 3rd Law (The Law of Action-Reaction) “For every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force.” Anytime an object applies a force to another object, there is an equal and opposite force back on the original object. If you push on a wall you...

    Buying a car - a road tax question.

    Slow filling Toilet cistern

    Isolation valves in the OFF position. I can just about see, that your valve is turned to almost off position. Using a flat screwdriver turn the screw anti clockwise, till the line is vertical, at which point the water will be in full flow. If you find that the pressure is too high? Turn the...

    Chipped grout

    Wow, that is flexible indeed. Hummm... I'd suggests you fill in the gaps prior to mopping or spillage; last thing you want is your wood base expanding/bloating.

    Strange Noise in House

    Just a thought... How far are the wind turbines from your house? Only constant machinery that comes to mind HAS to be the turbines, right?

    Strange Noise in House

    No.1 the small repetitive lines you see, is the clock ticking 5mtrs away. No.2 is dropping a paper clip on the carpet with the ipad in my hand, sitting on a sofa, in a quite room. If you have an iPhone I'd suggest getting an app called Spectrumview.

    Chipped grout

    So he knew the floor was an issue? Ok, it confirms that the floor under the wooden base was an issue. No, I wouldn't say regular, just use a professional flexible grout in this case, more so because of movement of the floor. They do large 2.5kg bags in Screwfix, not sure if you can get...
