    Modified Truss Advice

    It doesn't look to be badly done. The "non standard " language could strike up a potential if a mortgage lender kicks off about it. If its not your lender then it could be a future buyers lender. Finding someone other than the person who did it to sign it off as ok could possibly be difficult.

    Our netflix does weird stuff every now and then. Resetting the tv to factory settings sometimes helps although its a pita having to sign back into all the services The other tv has a firestick that needs a reboot once in a while. Might not work for everyone but it costs nothing to try.

    Why is my drill so slow in brickwork?

    I installed a lovely new modern cube shaped toilet. Looked great but the cistern wobbled about on the coupling seal-no fixing holes! Had to drill some myself.
