That looks like plasterboard to me? If it creates grey dust then it is. If it’s MDF, then simply pushing it back in place will put it under tension as it would appear to be too big for the gap and needs a tiny bit removed off it’s length. You could use an oscillating cutter on the seam to...

You could build a single skin wall with pillars? Depends on what uses fewer bricks. Or - if you plan on a shed, build the new inner wall with concrete blocks so the outside looks consistent.

Firefighters get killed after fuel spills or refinery fires. Deepwater Horizon anyone?

Did you change the bulb?

How big a compressor? I have a small one, so it has to run a lot. It’s very noisy (sealy 24 litre ) and when topping up you can hear it all over the house from a built in garage. I’d build a kennel type shelter outside. Our massive one at work is in a different brick built space. Damp air...

Airing cupboards like mine simply use shelves made of 2x1 which are fixed in a ladder frame style. My shelves are a good 20 years old and flat as flat. You could buy stainless steel shelves if you can find some near the correct size? Costco used to be full of shiny open shelved units that...

A brick is about 100mm across. If you have a handy brick. However you could carefully add concrete in layers, making sure that it doesn’t fall into the cavity. Shove a bit of cardboard folded in half through the gap and have string in the centre, pull the string tight so the card holds it...

If worried about it falling onto you , cut it down in stages. Takes longer but is safer. You could also tie the pole where it comes above the wall top. Personally, I wouldn’t worry about the post below the join and would simply remove the post from the join and keep the rest. It could be useful...

Never tried but how about curved ply ribs held in place by small dabs of spray foam? Once fixed in place, adding more foam and you can (on most foams?) spray the outside of foam to harden it so it stops growing and becomes more dense.

Clean the whole area. Remove loose material. You could make a timber shutter and mix some mortar so you could extend the existing wall skirt to the post. This assumes that the gate opens inwards. If the gate opens out, and needs that gap to open, you could tidy it up with an angle grinder and...

You could fix a carving knife to the steering wheel, pointed at your chest. It won’t fix the seatbelt, but I’ll bet that you drive so carefully that the seatbelt never gets any strain on it.

There’s no way I’d trust that belt to save my life

Can’t comment on the fix But isn’t that an MOT failure?

I wouldn’t be concerned, but a random worker replacing tiles should be aware that using a vacuum to clean up could spread more fibres (if any exist) into the air. An H grade cleaner would be safer. You could do a home test? A sample could be taken if there is a broken one and it might give peace...

Fix your fence panels to the chain link.

You can buy mortar rakes for angle grinders

If post one has a rear slot then you could fix timber to that, most posts have bolt holes in them. Then move the proposed fence line back 4” to go straight. Then do similar on post four? But with an angled timber post. There are various posts that have different slot orientations, so you could...

I don’t understand the question as written, but pop rivet guns come either in different sizes, or have swappable “chucks” for different rivet diameters. Rivets come in different depths, and washers allow the rivet face to be bigger
