One other thought - you don't want the desk to be too thick. For the best ergonomics, you want the vertical distance between your hands and your thighs - i.e. the thickness of the keyboard, plus the desk, plus a small gap - to be quite small. Image search for "desk ergonomics" for diagrams...

How far along have you looked? I.e. how many cm away from BASEC have you looked?

You seem to have scraped it to reveal the text "BASEC W". Keep scraping and you'll find more text.

If I were you, I think I'd prefer a left-to-right steel rather than those L brackets off the back wall. But in either case I think it will be solid enough. Never say never!

I have a desk supported on 3 sides (which I'd not really call "floating") that is about 2300 wide by 1200 deep. It's made from 18mm thick bamboo board. I used 38x63 timbers fixed to the walls on three sides. I then put three box section steels from left to right, sat in notches in the left and...

It doesn't surprise me that they won't talk to you until you are actually the tenant; right now you don't have any legal connection with the property. As above, tell the owner (via the agent) that you need them to resolve the electrics for you. Was there a "dangerous" notice attached to the...

Were you on good terms before they left? Have they abandoned the property, or do you believe they still care about its state of repair? (Do you think they still pay bills?) You should attempt to contact them. You can do this concurrently with initiating the work, if you feel it is that urgent...

Is this a DIY problem or a state-of-mind problem? Frankly it doesn't look too bad to me - sure, you could paint the walls, but that doesn't explain "unhappy returning there each day". What else is going on in her life? How tall is your tower? You really don't want to fall from the roof or...

I guess that's what you need to fix.

"Homemade weedkiller"????? That sounds like something from a Health & Safety Executive press release. Is this some stupid YouTube thing, or AI fantasy? Let me guess - it's just vinegar and baking soda, right?

Do take note of Hugh's comment about the pipes now being full of corrosive chemicals when you do that.

No; you don't know the fixings that he means. Search for "door sleeve nut and bolt".

Use your wet&dry vac to directly suck from the shower and basin wastes.

Here's a table from https://www.ecomerchant.co.uk/news/a-brief-history-of-building-regulation-u-values-with-examples/ : I find it hard to believe that there is no insulation in your walls. An uninsulated cavity wall will have a U-value worse than 0.6.

If it is actually warm yet feels cold to you, you need to understand why. Could it be draughts? Or something to do with humidity? Or maybe you have e.g. tiles on the floor, rather than carpet, that feel colder underfoot? Maybe the thermostat is too near a radiator so it's not measuring the real...

Is there heating? If so, what is the thermostat set to? Does it reach that temperature?

Who thinks that product is legal to install in the UK?

You can work out the volume of water in the pipe and divide by the flow rate. I presume you're planning on recirculation because you're previously been unhappy with slow hot water, right? You mention 40-60 seconds. The volume of water in 16m of 15mm pipe is 16 x π x (0.0136/2)² = 2.3 litres...

Right, if I were looking for Boiler Repairs in Stoke-On-Trent, then I'd AVOID "Bright Burn Solutions". They must be the absolute worst possible choice - I'd give them zero stars if I could!

Have you tried to calculate how long it would take hot water to reach those outlets without the circulation? What about with smaller-diameter pipes? How much delay can you put up with? Can you wait longer for hot water at the bath tap than at the basin tap? You certainly don't need 26mm for...
