    old cast iron

    Begin by scraping off loose, flaky and brittle paint and rust, then circular wire brushes and a power tool provide probably the best answer. I use an angle grinder with a wire cup brush for cleaning large items; small items I take to the bench where I have grinders with steel, brass and nylon...

    Breadmaker

    Can't think of any puns at this time of the morning. We have a Panasonic, which makes decent bread: not as good as hand-baked, but far better than anything we can buy from shops within a ten mile radius. Although many people shove theirs to the back of the cupboard as a useless gadget, our...

    What timber to repair my trailer?

    WBP exterior ply should be suitable for this. It can delaminate so it's worth doing something to seal the edges.

    aldi powercraft going bust

    Your contract is with Aldi, the retailer, not with their supplier. You'll have to go back to them and be firm with them: they can't try to palm you off onto someone else.

    skimming over old plaster

    You're quite right; however I'm getting on a bit now and forget all the shortcuts I don't use very often, so I have to get things done the long way.

    Sit-on mower, what type?

    That's quite a small area for a sit-on mower. Whatever model you're interested in, check that it is manoeuverable in all the places you want to take it. Maybe you could persuade a local dealer to demonstrate one for you; if you're not going to service it yourself, make sure you can get service...

    Sash lock dimensions

    These are, probably, the dimensions of the cases; the backset, that is the distance between the edge of the door to the centre of the handle spindle, will be a lower figure, for example it could be 57mm backset for a 76mm case. But you will have to check the specification.

    skimming over old plaster

    Write your post in Microsoft Word (other word processors are available) and copy and paste into 'Post a reply'. Word autocorrects to provide the accent for you, I discover. Otherwise, insert the character as a symbol.
