    Milwaukee (body only combi drill)

    I ended up getting a deal on a Gen2 Brushless naked combi for £79. I wouldn't achieved that price selling off batts and charger from the kit. Plus I would have only secured a brushed combi drill. So no batts I'm afraid.

    Milwaukee (body only combi drill)

    I have it noted down. Will sort it all out after I return from a well deserved holiday.

    Milwaukee (body only combi drill)

    I have a couple of 5amp batts which are more than enough for me. Along with the fast charger, if I did fully use one (which to date I haven't), they fully charge in the time it takes me to have a coffee break.

    Milwaukee (body only combi drill)

    Thanks for the feedback, that has helped me decide. Will now start looking.

    Milwaukee (body only combi drill)

    What would be an acceptable price to sell the 18V 4.0Ah Li-Ion Batteries for? I doubt the standard slow charger would get much as they're are already cheap online.

    Milwaukee (body only combi drill)

    I have a few 18v Milwaukee items (drill, batteries, and charger), but require a new combi drill. However, the price for a body only drill is only a few quid cheaper than buying a kit with charger, 2x spare 4a batts, and a case. I was thinking of buying the kit and selling the bits I don't need...

    Opinions on which side to have these driveway gates facing the roadside...

    I would have left it natural wood (oiled) if I decided to hang it that way around. I will have a play around when it comes to a dry fit and see how they look.

    Opinions on which side to have these driveway gates facing the roadside...

    No, far from it. I live in a place that hasn't moved out of the 1930s. The last theft around here was in 1971 when someone stole a sweet banana out of the pick 'n' mix from Miss Wobblebottoms sweet shop in the village. The gates are so I can work on my car and do other stuff in the garage...

    Opinions on which side to have these driveway gates facing the roadside...

    The picture shows my original intention to have this side facing the property, and the side facing the road would be all T&G painted the same dark grey colour with a weather cap. Once I offered the T&G to the stained gate frame, the contrast is making me question whether I should have the side...

    Excellent, that confirms I'm going down the correct road.

    Coach Bolt for Hook and Band Hinge through facing side of Gate

    I've just made two driveway gates (1.2 x 1.3m) from 4x2 with 12mm T&G on the facing side (the side seen from the roadside). I will be hanging them on 6x6 posts using 450mm adjustable hook and band hinges. Every video I have watched that shows how to fit these hinges never show the facing...

    Mac Allister MMIS210S-B Mitre Saw cutting width?

    That was the other Mitre Saw I was looking at because of its 310mm cut. I thought the double bevel in the Mac would come in handy for my lad for his house, plus I get a healthy discount from B&Q, so the cost of the Mac would come in under £80. Just surprised the cutting width isn't listed. Like...

    Mac Allister MMIS210S-B Mitre Saw cutting width?

    I need to buy a cheap and cheerful mitre saw to make some fencing . Once finished, the saw will be given to my lad in case he finds a use for it. The B&Q Mac Allister MMIS210S-B is perfect for what I want. However, it is about the only sliding mitre saw I have seen that doesn't state the...

    Consumer Unit Height (Guidance or Punishment by Death)

    They appear to be from another planet, the solar peeps that is !

    Consumer Unit Height (Guidance or Punishment by Death)

    Solar is in the planning stage, but yes, they insist on a seperate CU.

    Consumer Unit Height (Guidance or Punishment by Death)

    That's not cricket. I'm being shot because they built the kitchen around the CU when the house was built.

    Consumer Unit Height (Guidance or Punishment by Death)

    I was hoping to establish the exact and definitive reg before I engaged someone to carry out the work. If it cannot be done then I will have the HP and Solar CU and EV installed elsewhere. The situation provided a good opportunity to renew the old and have it all colour matched inside a cupboard...

    Consumer Unit Height (Guidance or Punishment by Death)

    I live in a bungalow built in 2002/3. The top case of the CU sits 100mm below the kitchen ceiling inside a wall cupboard. Under said cupboard is a small fridge, thus getting to the CU requires low steps and removal of the Beans and Pasta to access the breakers etc. There is no other place for...

    Rad change to K2 and F/R feeds

    I’m replacing two slimline rads with K2s (A in the image). I’m wanting to avoid draining down if possible plus the F/R pipes are under laminate and screed. I’m opting for option B where there is room to use pipe benders. Where using the benders and soldering is not an option would C be okay...

    Heating expansion vessel making high pitch (1.3khz) whine (New system install)

    New ASHP installation. Everything is running fine, except for a high pitch (1.3khz) whine emanating from the expansion vessel. The noise cannot be heard from any other source (pipes, pump, rads, HP etc). You can clearly hear the whine if you get close to the expansion vessel. Although not loud...
