    How do I fix this tiling by a cowboy builder?

    I was able to just place the original one over it and fill the gap with caulk, so it protrudes more than the other one, but only if one cares to look

    Should I change this drain pipe from basin?

    Cowboy builders left me with this. Doesn't leak anymore, but there should be a trap/u-bend right? Apart from the smells coming from the plug-hole are there any issues that I may face?

    How do I fix this tiling by a cowboy builder?

    Cowboy builder who will not be coming back inexplicably took the left side of the door frame off to tile but didn't do that on other side (see first 3 images). I'd rather not take off 14 tiles, cut new ones to size and fit. I am not confident with a circular saw thing so would not use that. I...

    Can I combine sensor with switch to turn on lights?

    microwave sensors remove so many of the problems you had with pir. it can detect a body over a wide area, even as you approach from up or down stairs. pir is so limited to what the sensor can "see"

    Can I combine sensor with switch to turn on lights?

    Across 3 floors there are 5 ceiling lights covering the landing and stairs, no natural light. Currently, the wall light switches turn on all 5 lights and switch off after a minute or 2. If I correctly wire in a PIR/microwave sensor to any particular light fitting so that a particular ceiling...
