I just had a closer look. The meter display is cycling between EXPRT 000000 BILL £2.13 IMPRT 001385. Looking at my last bill, the last number could be my present meter reading, with the usage in-between. The mystery unfolds....

My old supplier went bust last year, got transferred to Avro. But electricity meter has been sending data for months now, until last week.

hehehe! didn't have much choice! Avro told me on my latest bill that something was wrong with the electricity meter, still I might get a weeks worth of free leccy!

I've not touched anything on the meter and anyway that shouldn't affect the smart meter sending readings to Avro, surely? That's what triggered this question. Today I had a bill from Avro, for Gas only. It said there was a problem with the electricity readings. The smart meter is flashing all...

about 7 days ago it went to zero and has stayed that way! I thought these things were indestructible.

My Honeywell thermostat is mechanical variety, 6360, when I open it up, there are four wires connected, one being earth. I'd like to swap out for the Honeywell DT90, digital thermostat. It only requires a live and neutral. Can I ignore the third wire in the old thermostat?

OSMO says it's better than white spirits, is this true or just marketing hype?

So the accepted answer would be No, just not going to happen. Industrial users would be cut first.

I have a simple question, could gas supplies be cut off to domestic users, due to an actual shortage of the stuff? I've thought about it but don't understand the technicalities of shutting off gas supplies to domestic users. I'm thinking that it would be a dangerous action that could mean...

250mm? Something I can dig out with a post digger..

Oops sorry. The final size will be 100x44mm.

Does anyone know where I can get the cardboard tubes the USA uses for making foundation piles? Making a base for a shed and don't want to lay a full concrete base.

Timber being the price it at the moment, I am thinking to dismantle an old 'log cabin' and reconstruct it in as a stud wall constructed shed. Then clad that in fence boarding or larch boarding. I'm not sure I will have enough lengths to make the shed with 400mm centres. Can I use 600mm centres...

I have an old wood cabin, that I am thinking to repurpose into a shed. I support it on these...https://www.wickes.co.uk/Jouplast-Plastic-Adjustable-Decking-Risers---50-to-80mm---Pack-of-10/p/149406 They are actually rated for 500kg per riser, so a dozen is well within their rating.

What are you allowing for materials cost? I thinking of building my own shed too.

I have a dining table where the table top has become stained and sanding hasn't cured this problem. So one solution would be to turn the top over and use the underside. But the pedestal was screwed to the underside, leaving several screw holes. The top is solid elm and there are no plugs or...

YES! I have used similar in the past.

Into the face or rather the rear face of the door. I think the new screw holes will just miss the dowels. I've seen on eBay 3mm hardwood dowels, they would fill the screw hole nicely, once drilled out. Next problem is the template, which has gone missing. Have to call Bosch on Monday. Cannot...

I have an MDF kitchen door for a dishwasher front, but I mis-aligned some of the screw holes. Is there a way to somehow drill out the screw hole and fill it with dowel or something so that a new screw close by will hold?
