    Badgers

    They may also be digging up worms, another staple food for them. Just think of it as your very own wildlife show and enjoy them while you can. Just replace the divots in the morning. They will probably have a routine track they use into, or through, the garden, either 'barging' through a gap...

    I would suggest a hollow wall anchor and use a brad point drill with light pressure to minimise breakout at the back of the plasterboard.

    What pipe to use for raised bed hoop house/tunnel/netting frame, (etc)?

    Yes, that's the stuff I meant. I have made squared off frames with it, using the matching Ts and elbows and also made three-way corners to match, using solvent weld adhesive. Where I wanted a loop, I warmed the pipe with a hot-air gun and formed it fairly easily. You can use debris netting as a...

    Problems fitting a new toilet seat

    It looks to me that the slotted end of the nut should drive into the tapered face of the washer, applying pressure to close the slotted ends together against the bolt shaft. Is the nut a reasonably tight fit on the bolt? Is the bolt threaded in the area where the nut will cover when fitted to...

    I think the website referred to is diy-kitchens.com, which is a UK based company and you can visit them, although it will be a bit of a trek from Somerset to Pontefract.

    What's the best drill bit?

    If you do not want to use the hammer action, which is inherent to the best use of an SDS drill, have you considered a wet diamond core bit system, say from Marcrist, which will be effective with minimal breakout, although by no means cheap.

    how do i replace a junior hacksaw blade oldish metal

    If the frame looks to be made of a simple shaped piece of metal rod, then you can grip the handle and lean the pointy end against something to compress the blade part and ease the blade down from the grip end. It only needs to be compressed enough to release the tension in the blade. Just be...

    Bought a dishwasher, have an unidentified parts

    Could it be a worktop protector strip, which would be fixed below the front edge of the worktop to protect it from the warm, moist air that comes out when the door is opened?

    Permanent Solution for Mould around the bath ?

    Is there room to fit some 12mm uPVC quadrant along the joint? This would give a very narrow sealant line instead of the present wide line and be easier to keep clean. I agree with Mikeey84 about Dow Corning 785. I would use it to replace the present seal, then use it again to mount the quadrant...

    Accenta Alarm flashing strobe

    Did you press the Reset button after you put in the code? When the alarm is activated, putting in the code will stop the sounder, but leave the strobe running. Pressing the Reset button will switch off the strobe, assuming the panel does not have a fault. Europlex also makes a valid point.
