    Opinions on robot lawmowers - so many to choose from

    Any opinions as to a non-wire boundary type to go for? Large-ish garden with several separate but accessible lawns. I want to be able to set stripe patterns. Husqvarna seem pricey but is there a GOOD reason for this? Mammotion are being pushed at me by the algorithms of youtube.....

    Storing power tools

    Retrospective wall ties

    The cavity on the intended hinge side of the door has in fact been closed by brickwork, I've now realised having removed more plaster. I forgot to say that this is currently a window and I'm opening it up to be a door and a small window, so the lintels are in place in both skins already. The...

    Retrospective wall ties

    I'm adding a new external door into the utility room wall. The room was once a garage, "converted" at some point by previous owners. the wall in question is two skins of brick and block with a cavity between, the inner skin having been just built up of the garage floor, but has no wall ties...

    Using Wiser Smart Heating - seems limited

    what about smart plugs and lamps - you'd want to control them for dusk rather than say, a specific time. Doesnt seem unusual to me!

    Using Wiser Smart Heating - seems limited

    It would be sensible to switch on the heating at or around dusk. The actual time of day changes, of course, as the seasons go on. I cant see a way of doing that in the Wiser Home app. Does anyone have a workaround? It seems like a reasonable thing to want. ALso, do I HAVE to use the Wiser Home...

    What's the suckiest vacuum cleaner?

    our miele does have a brush bar, but it slows down rather on carpets.....Ive never been that impressed with the machine, despite the price. I have shied away from Dysons over the years after some poor models early on.

    What's the suckiest vacuum cleaner?

    We have a Miele Cat & Dog, which is fine for general use on hard floors, but it fails to pickup all the dog hair (and sand, as we live by the coast) such that, if I vacuum thoroughly then try to use a carpet cleaning machine the latter clogs with hair and sand in minutes.....even if I'm not...

    Moving from Sonos

    I am not an audiophile (as you'll see), neither do I wish to become one. I currently have 5 or 6 Sonos Ones around the house, plus a sonos soundbar on the telly. I never find myself really using them the way they are meant to be used ie muti-room, and anyway the sound isn't that special to even...
