It probably would've been neater to just leave it alone and write "not used" on it :/ I don't think expanding foam is a terrible idea tbh, then gouge out enough of it to filler over, sand and paint if that's what you're happy with but boarding over the area per Odds is simple and effective If...

Best place to leave it, too! Unless it's a fiver, in which case maybe buying it and skipping it would be a worthwhile public service

Indeed, the RAC will have dedicated jumpstart systems with half the number of clamps, better training and a narrower use case We don't all have to upgrade to RAC levels of technological provision to give a little old lady a boost on the way to the hospital.. 99.9% of people should just carry...

It was the "a standard sheet metal roof is capable of maintaining itself at a temperature lower than the ambient by looking at the sky" that got me chuckling Don't worry about convincing me; I'm happy to leave you to believe it

More haste, less speed. Happy to leave you to shag up your own charging system being a Good Samaritan but I don't think I'll offering you a boost any time soon!

But you seem to have so much spare time to delve into the navel fluff of anything electrical on DIYnot.. And I bet you could coil a bit of shower hose on in less time than it takes to listen to calor's hold music in just a single one of these phone calls you have to make to get them to come out...

Britain is traditionally more tolerant than that on a variety of fronts, thankfully

I don't understand why the pictures show a silver hinge with a zig zag screw pattern and the video shows a black hinge with a U pattern Have the hinges been changed? The fastest solve for this would be to drill a new set of holes in one hinge leaf (I'd do the leaf that attaches to the door...

I was hoping for a movie of the drum the cable is wound onto, how it behaves when the door is cycled fully open and then fully closed Spring end has multiple holes that two rods can walk, no? OP before you take any action with the spring take a note of how many turns of the spring your door...

No. You don't need cables as thick as the wire that goes from the battery to the stater motor because jumper cables are not supposed to carry all the current necessary to start the dead car directly and instantly from the good car Battery terminal clamps look like they do (a round hole...

Did you have it tested for asbestos at the time? If not, you may want to send some for a test, and consider carefully your strategy for drilling into it. (If positive I'd have a hoover running outside, pipe through the window, on a rainy day.. New HEPA bag, that is disposed of into an asbestos...

I've always felt these massive leads (which I've often found to be a bit of bell wire with a whopping amount of plastic insulation sleeve around it) just encourage people to connect up and hit Go right away, expecting the leads to carry 500 amps through a few tiny points of contact for whatever...

Smoke can help you visualise air movements that are tricky to feel

Well, they aren't really fancy fixings are they? They're a screw and rawl plug, and an offcut of pipe to stop the fixed item's bottom edge crushing plasterboard by transferring the compression through to the solid substrate.. The fancy genius is in the marketing; selling 10 screws, plugs and...

If that's what the SE has specified, just get on with it. Takes about a minute to cut a 2x2 block out of a joist end (or two 1x2, depending on how the existing joists align with the web) and as long as the extra inch isn't fouling on anything like a ceiling below, it's an easy install..

Go for it. You'll get warning signs long before total failure and worst case, that you hit a bed for every one of your top fixings, and they all pull out and you don't notice, you'll simply find a bent-down-and-hanging-off-the-bottom-fixings tv bracket. The bottom fixings won't pull out if...

And manual window winders. Very handy for getting out of submerged cars with failed electrical systems!

and something that shouldn't be done at night, no matter how polite one thinks one is being using one's bi-xenon HID light array to blind some poor sucker while intimating "thanks for giving way to let me pass this single file section" I used to flash my low level fogs, to say thanks, but...

Nope, the electrolyte isn't most often free to slosh around as it's soaked up in a fibreglass matting, or a gel External Temperature also influences this so it may not be a universally reliable test They aren't sealed to that extent; they still have vents that regulate pressure changes...

If it's common to an ISP, it would point more toward an oddity with the router they have supplied, but I still recommend you test with an alternative network adapter per the suggestion above - they aren't expensive
