I only use about 4 canisters per year. I have the Rough Neck gun with the PTFE needle, not the one with loads of PTFE which costs more. I often leave the canisters attached for months. Worst case scenario, the propellant in the canister has escaped. In such cases, I fit a new canister. I only...

As per other posts, if you are going for battery based tools, you will be locked into their ecosystem because of the cost of the batteries and chargers. Off the top of my head, Dewalt, Makita and Milwaukee will offer the widest range of tools that you might need without requiring you buy...

I do not know the answer, but I suspect that @crank39 will.

I looked at it today. I seem to have managed to damaged the o-ring. It must have been when I was trying to force in a copper pipe at an angle. Mea culpa.

I am not a proper plumber, but... On site this morning, I went to use the outdoor tap and noticed that one of the t junction speedfits had split because of the frost. I mentioned it to the customer and suggested that it would be OK for a day or so until the frost went. It was cold- so I went to...

Or you can use white cement with the grey cement. One of my besties is a pointer. He has been doing it for years. He can look at a job and say "yeah, 1 white cement to 3 parts of grey cement". Additionally he will source the sand as required. His work is stunning, particularly his weather...

If you are repainting emulsion, you don't need to sand it unless you plan to sand away imperfections. Assuming that there are no smokers and the walls are not covered in grease, in most cases you can simply emulsion over them. Like @Wayners , I am a decorator. I tend to sand walls before...

Sorry, when you said it mirrors you phone I thought you were taking about something like screen casting.

As a test, I just went to the WA web site. It is asking me to use my phone to set up the trust relationship (again). The last time that I used WA on a browser was less than a year ago. That said, I seldom use the app. Digital noise (IMO). I do understand why people use it though.

Yeah, you need a phone number to install it on your phone and then you need the same phone to establish a trust relationship with the pc/browser, but other than that, the phone could be in a completely different location. It is not simply screen casting. Sorry mate,you said it is not a stand...

Why would you handwash hot water... /ducksForCover

Not quite true. You need a phone with WA installed (to scan the QR code) but you can install it on a PC and use it even if you don't have your phone with you. From memory, you can run it in a browser on a PC.

Last year I worked on a domestic site. The plumber was using blue paper as loo roll. I had to explain to the "site manager" that blue paper and kitchen paper do not break down when wet and will eventually, potentially, block the soil pipes. One would hope that a plumber would know better...

Some of those earth cables run elsewhere

Curry, what is not to love? It looks, pretty much the same, going in and coming out (colour wise). Ultimately, a good curry hurts in and out.

Cool, stick with caulk then. It is the cheapest option and the path of least resistance. BTW, be advised that caulk will shrink back slightly. I don't imagine that the gaps are particularly large to begin with though.

With respect, it does sound like mold, which is normally down to insufficient air flow. You could rake out the grout and replace it with epoxy grout, but that is a big job. I used in my kitchen years ago to grout my mosaic tiles behind the hob. If I splashed food over it, days later I could...

You may be correct. I dunno. The link was from a country which gets significantly colder than most of the UK, and presumably, most Canadians are not on a water meter. I kinda like the logic, but it is beyond my ken.

BTW, my preferred caulk is Everbuild 125, a great caulk and very competitively priced (from £1 to £2). Second choice is Dow Painters' Mate. Double the price. CT1 is up to £14. CT1, you can dip your finger in white spirit to smooth it. It is rather sticky so if the windows are uPVC, you might...

To be fair, and I say this after a couple of pints (and as someone who respects you)... they seem to be saying that the freezing water expands and puts stress on the joints. I believe they are saying that by leaving the tap in a drip state, whilst it will not prevent the tap/pipe from freezing...
