Is it a conversion? Or was it built as two dwellings?

Are these LED par cans? What do the lights look like? You you want something like the picture already posted? Is the 7 m the width at light height? At what height? What width is the floor? You could use scaff tube (alli) horizontally. If supported only at the ends you’ll get deflection on a 6m...

Dry joints usually look a little dull compared to others. Cleaning the connectors doesn’t hurt. Chopping an inch of the speaker cables and resending up the contacts won’t be a bad idea

Birds have pretty strong guts, but will poo in a birdbath/bowl because in nature, there’s more water around. You’re supposed to clean a bird bowl /bath daily. All you really need is a full watering can nearby and a better clean weekly. Although birds tend to poo almost without thought, as a kid...

It is an interesting twist, but the locals have found an interesting way of ****ing off ICE. They are throwing buckets of water onto the pavements/ roads and ICE are going base over apex trying to catch them.

If you want to carry on using it for sentimental reasons, take the bowl to a kitchenware shop and find a plastic bowl that fits inside. It doesn’t matter about height, diameter is then important thing. Slightly loose to allow for ice expansion. If too tall you could trim the top down. Glue the...

I would have thought that gas would always be cheaper than oil? Don’t know if you live in the sticks but oil can be stolen,

I am guessing it’s bottled gas?

I’d hesitate to say “no” but if it was me I’d do it within a year? Maybe get a roofer in? If the tiles have to come off, summer is a good time.

My brother had this. Concrete tiles replacing the lighter slate. They had internal bracing done - not sure if they had the tiles taken off and refitted? It is a common issue.

I am no roofer but that wouldn’t worry me. If I was fitting that and spotted it, I’d maybe put it aside but there may be loads done by the time it was spotted? Changing one can be tricky

You could knock something up with key clamp? Loads of places will cut the tube as part of the mail order, you only need to assemble with an Allen key. Square or round galvanised, some is powder coated. To be honest, you could use glue fit poly plumbing pipe and fittings, although less robust...

Yellow tennis ball

You need more brackets.

Motorcycle inner tube. Cut to 1M length Remove 1M from down pipe. Jubilee clip to pipe bottom

You could easily divert that pipe up high to come around the corner and down, or even at waist height. You’d gain 4” You could make /find a metal bracket to protect the pipe physically but potentially damage the car/ lose space. You could stick a 1M bendy rod in the ground in front of the pipe...

Personally, I think you’d be mental to get rid of that. I have parquet in my through lounge and hallway.

I don’t have any experience myself, but I’d suggest asking the neighbours for contacts, ideally someone that did theirs. Depending on the build, you might not need to much engineering done, probably just a small beam.

Do any neighbours have a similar door opening? Checking that it isn’t a load bearing wall is necessary. So long as there is a reasonable amount of wall left in place it isn’t too complicated. You might need to make/modify a door casing to fit the doors as they could be a specialised size..

That’s been my moto. From the age of about 18 I wore jeans and a black T shirt. Close to 66, Still the same. I have about 25 T shirts, all black. I buy packs of sock that are all black and the same. Getting dressed involves zero thought, other than which leg goes into which hole in my jeans...
