Sparky fitted one above bathroom doorway. Wife couldn't reach so replaced it with pull cord version. Now wanting to reuse the old switch for same job on another WC fan. But noticed it has no markings at all on the outer face. Not a red patch, or on/ off. Why is that?

I have a small WC and larder as part of a shonky lean-to inherited extension. In larder is washing machine. Not ideal I know...larder is a bit moist! Both doors are ledge and brace with big gaps at bottom. With kitchen door and back door shut you can think of the WC and larder as sealed off, but...

Very much want one. Want to have a go. And don't, at the same time.

Or... Google "builders opening", and see myriad before and afters. Providing (and I've never met it) the original lintel is not gone you should be fine with whatever is placed below that, support wise. Sides- you are looking for intact whole brick vertical joints- people hardly ever tie in the...

Crack on.

I recommend an Air Arms Tx200hc in .177 sub12ft/lb. Or An HW97K synthetic stock. Owned both. I like to keep it simple. Gas bottles, pumps, compressors, not for me.. Dome pellets are reliable. It takes a lot of time to pest control rats with an air gun. Unless you enjoy it, it might get a bit...

There's also the possibility that your frequent false activity is cats. Hot, fast and all night!

If you can lift off the doors, they could be lift off hinges.

Thanks. Hadn't even considered that option . :D

We have a little toilet built into a rough lean to on the rear of our house. The render is really old and bubbled/cracked in places. It needs walls that are fairly uniform and able to take some paint. I would rather attempt cement render than skimming plaster but wonder if there are some...

The only aspect of 'display' I am concerned with is the outside view. I.e. panels buckling or pulled off their seals. 'Desperate not to' is a dramatisation of 'do you think I'll have to?'

It's weird..... looking at it, I can help feeling that with, say, a spade bit, I could drill out a couple of holes somewhere, and it would relax.....or get worse. Think I'll mark it and measure it all up with tell marks.. for now.

+1 for stainless steel threaded bar. Can't ever have too much stainless steel in one's life. Peace of mind.

Granted, yes not straight. But it will oscillate seasonally with highs and lows of ambient humidity? Worst next year not likely to be wildly different from 5 years time. I hope?

Thanks for taking the time. Shame, but makes sense. I hope the panels have the margin to take whatever the joist end has done without bowing or pulling clear of a seal edge. Really don't want to remove it.... In a year's time, it should have gone through its cycle of humidity and movement? Would...

I have finished a basic lean to shelter. One of the rafters bent as it dried before putting polycarbonate sheets on so I had to remove the fixings and set it off it's original position. I tried to bend (fight) it before bracing it. But it still wants to be twisting. The fascia is the only...

As he didn't abrade the pipe with a power tool, he won't have made airborne much, if any particles. Double bag it and take it to the tip for a call ahead drop off. If you can find the route of the pipe, and there is more, and you can't remove it, then it's another kettle of fish. But a single...

Pics.... there's cracks and there's cracks.
