Yeah, I think they're all the same design; it seems to be that one renowned company does all the R&D and becomes the original DeWalt/Stanley/Makita/Bosch pro version of a thing, and then 100 factories in China to start churning out copies of them that are good enough for a few jobs - they...

I bought one that, when it arrived turned out to have been bashed in transit and wouldn't extend. Complained to the seller, they offered a part refund of 50%, I took a grinder to the folded parts and it's been great since. I wholeheartedly recommend them for one-person boarding jobs Loooks like...

It might, but if you're amenable to hacking it off and replacing it, what have you got to lose by trying? Maybe use a breathable one, rather than eg something impervious like bathroom ceiling paint

Trainers; tempted to say forget it/no chance. Finding something that will stick is the first hurdle, finding something flexible enough the second, durable (being thin will mean flexible, but it'll get kicked to bits if you catch your feet on each other as you walk, let alone the environment) the...

(This post assumes the pic is how you found things before making any changes) If the new light's central rose would fit over the old clear plastic thing you have there the simplest thing to do is leave all the connections alone, undo the two white wires, put the new light in where they were and...

The presence of salts in 3 of the photos give me the impression that the paint will go bobbly and fall off anyway. You might need to approach this another way, such as over boarding it

I'm not sure I fully understand what you're asking, but if you're wondering about the offset the extenders cause your pipes, might it be easier to just build the whole wall out a few mm so when you're putting your decorative surface on you aren't having to shift it around? Or is the question is...

How did you divide the same large number by a smaller number and get a smaller result than before? (57.4A@230V, surely?)

Jetwash I'd also test what effect bleach has on the trim, in an inconspicuous area, and if it doesn't discolour/damage it, dribble some in. Mold bleaches to invisible quite well

When you look at the majority of games on the Roblox platform, and realise that they're basically just gambling, you may conclude that there isn't much difference?!

Adjust the frame profile with drain grooves/holes so the water cannot reach this brush? There's been another thread here lately with a similar problem Have you uploaded any pics? This seems incredibly unlikely? All composite doors are draughty? Why would a composite door latch be so...

You change the breaker so it protects the current carrying capacity of the smallest cable in the run Making extremes an example, you can put a 6a breaker on 10mm cable and run a light no problem - that cable is never going to set on fire before the breaker goes. You definitely don't put a 40A...

Can you attach a picture?

Make a template using cardboard; place the sheet on the wall, use a fat pen rubbed along the ceiling drawing on the card, that line is the exact profile of the ceiling, cut it out, offer it up, scribe it again if it's no good If your shape is very complex you may need to roughly roughly cut the...

To be fair, running a cable and nailing it to a wall takes minutes, so you aren't really saving much by doing the cable work, and I don't think you were asserting that you wanted to do all the connections, so there's probably only about 20 quid of professional time you're saving (don't forget...

You'll need another protection device at the point you drop cable size. You also wouldn't necessarily apply diversity to a fan, because diversity is about supplying loads that vary (ovens get up to temp then cycle the heater element on and off to maintain temp) rather than draw the same...

In a couple of the pictures the tray appears to have a lip that the screen is sitting inside so escapes of water from the tray is not a concern unless you start going crazy with the silicone (on the red lines as proposed) removing the existing escape path for any water that finds itself outside...

In which case the U method or the inline twist would be appropriate - U's easier but slightly fatter. In this context any soldered joint is going to be stronger than the surrounding wire, so I wouldn't have a particular concern regarding adequacy of eventual mechanical security whatever the...

Please make sure you have installed an Earth link wire from the switch plate to the backbox and that the wire that activates the light has an Earth core that is truly connected to Earth at the CU I just finished a run through a flat wired in the 60s that had metal switches exactly like yours...

Ruins the profile of the wire for heat shrinking though. I prefer to bend each wire to a u shaped hook, hook the ends together and press them to an inline profile then solder them Or, tin each one with solder individually, then join them by reheating when adjacent. This way they lie adjacent...
