Thanks for the replies. That device is exactly what I'm looking for. I did see some cheaper ones but shall do a bit of reading of reviews. Ebay el cheapo

Hi all, I'm wondering if there's a way of connecting more than 1 set of Bluetooth headphones to a TV? Thankyou

Thanks Ivor. Yes those multi tools are great tools. Off topic but I think they caused a fire at St Paul's Cathedral or similar a while ago. Yes you are correct it's those white plastic headed nails. The boards look like wood covered in a white plastic fascia

Thanks for the reply Ivor It's an apex roof not flat roof. Yes matching soffit board and fascia. How would you suggest I trim it? I got a feeling that old pvc fascia will be brittle after 50yrs of being in the sun

I'm one course below the soffit boards now on my garage extension. Just wondering how much is a safe bet to cut out either side of the brickwork? How's best to do this? I was thinking multi tool or jigsaw. I've not done this or seen this done before so just looking for some pointers. Garage is...

Thankyou for your reply. Yes it would be quite alot of hassle taking out all the French drain. Not impossible in the future as I'm planning to get my own digger in the next couple of years. We did put antinox sheets outside the outside of the plastic dpm sheets also. Mainly to prevent the 4...

Just to note the walls are made from concrete blocks laid on there side so around 22cm thick wall. Slab is 6inch thick with added waterproofer in the mix. Where the floor meets the wall I have sloped up some mortar a bit like cap and coving you see in commercial bathrooms/toilets etc. The...

Thanks for the reply. No purpose other than I like building quirky things. I have also built a summerhouse which goes 1m underground... a hobbit house and shepherd's hut. All in a rather large countryside garden. I tend to do this stuff so I don't end up wasting time on Netflix and negate the...

Hi all, around 4years ago I decided to build a bunker in our garden. It was fine for the 1st year then water has started to fill up the inside. It has been built with concrete blocks laid sideways. Painted with tanking slurry inside and out but also bitumen paint on outside and wrapped in 4...

Haha nice idea. I plan to put a side door in the garage so maybe I'll see to it this brick is deleted. Until then flower power might be the answer

It's a pitched roof. I'm guessing they have to go all the way to the top as the walls are 3m away from existing house wall. Thanks

Hi all, I built my garage walls and didn't notice till it rained that one brick right slap bang in the centre is the wrong way round. The bricks are heathers and I'm wondering if I can add some texture and redness to it so it doesn't stand out. I could cut it out and replace it. I will probably...

Hi all, I'm extending a garage forward. Single skin wall with piers at the front. I am upto lintel height now and wondered if I can just do a standard corner for the next 7 courses. I have a feeling I have to build the piers to roof height as the walls project 3m from existing garage. Thanks for...

I found this part in the glove box of a car I bought recently and not sure what it fits. The car is a 2010 honda civic. Thanks for reading

I managed to get the shaft in just by spinning the hub with a jack under lower ball joint and a g clamp pulling the hub towards the shock. Car works a treat and now has no knocking noise

A mate of mine reckoned the inner shaft has popped out the engine. I shall get underneath today and have a better look I had a tooth out yesterday so had a lazy day and lots of soup

Hi all, I swapped out a knackered shock yesterday. All was going well until I put the new shock in and noticed I can't get get hub up enough to put the second strut to hub nut/bolt in place. I have a feeling the shaft at the engine end may of come out a bit. I've tried a few different...

Thanks. The dpc is 6 course above ground level, is that uncommon?

Thanks for the reply

Hi all, I'm building a single skin garage wall and am wondering whether I need to put the wall starter kit below the dpc? I understand I might not put a fixing below dpc. I have quite a high dpc. 5 or 6 courses up from ground level. Also anything special I need to do when joining the new dpc...
