    Pls help me find a replacement 9v adapter

    Why not? It's more flexible - will work in any country with appropriate local cable. Perhaps the original product is better specced than the replacement you've bought.

    Never been challenged, even once. I had no idea this site had bot checks.

    Solar Pannels and Changing Sockets

    If in doubt, isolate. Your PV inverter should not energise its output if it does not detect mains voltage, so you could get away with not isolating it if you switched the main breaker off. But it's not going to cost you anything to do it thoroughly, so don't take the chance.

    Advice for building a shed

    Metal sheds are prone to condensation forming inside and "raining" on the contents, so you're probably best avoiding them. Are you looking to store the BBQs or is this a place to use them in the winter as well?

    DeWalt DWE7485 table saw quality issues

    How hot does it get in there on a sunny day? Is there a potential for the glue to soften to the point where it starts lifting?

    DeWalt DWE7485 table saw quality issues

    I wouldn't even bother with that. My desk is just a cut ply edge, finished with PU varnish and looks good to me.

    Homemade weed killer or shop bought

    Concentrated glyphosate is so cheap, I am not sure why you would bother trying to concoct something. It cost me less than a tenner for what will probably last me more than a decade.

    Bedroom door key side

    I think a picture is in order here. Without knowing exactly what you're asking, how about sleeve nuts and bolts through the door? No need to fix into the timber then [as such].

    Smell removal (bitumen) from teak

    I'm no chemist, but what smells will be the volatiles and they're more likely to be driven off by gentle heating.

    How is water getting in my shed ?

    Perhaps it's both. IMG_20260208_174542.jpg - what's that vertical face below the T&G but above the flag? Whatever it is is damp enough for algae to grow on it. It is either the bottom of your shed, or in contact with it, and it looks damp. IMG_20260208_174758_edit_859851493546919.jpg - the...

    Controlling multiple electric heaters centrally

    What do you actually want at the end of this and what are you willing to compromise on? You seem confident that the sensible suggestions [ie, excluding the ones that come from people who don't understand the practicalities of leasehold living] won't give you a reasonable EPC. So are you happy...

    Help with shed foundations in waterlogged ground

    If you're building a timber frame anyway then I think pads/piers makes more sense. Less material required, air flow under your frame and you don't have to worry so much about how wet the ground is in the area.

    Mould prevention on Ply

    Might sound like a daft question, but do you have the fan on in the van? One person I know keeps the fan off, waits for the windows to steam up, turns the fan up to max, turns it off, waits for the windows to steam up, ...
