    Sander Adaptor to vacuum cleaner

    You can get plastic kits that have about 5 sizes of adapter. Amazon are expensive for that so Ebay might be better (or Temu if you don't mind waiting a bit). Don't do what I did though and use a steel Henry vacuum pipe. I don't know if it was a short somewhere or if they sander vibration...

    Have you made your Will?

    Me and my partner have both been married before, and obviously it didn't work out. So neither of us want to get married again. In my mind, anything can happen and I don't want to be looking at another divorce in x years time. So we are looking at civil partnership. But we'll probably discuss...

    Have you made your Will?

    Sorry for your loss. We haven't done ours yet, despite owning a house together and not married or civil partnership. We both have our separate kids, and one is high risk (autistic). My partner had cancer last year and we vowed to get the will done, but didn't. She now has it back in the same...

    Driveway Drainage

    rear of the garage conversion. There is nowhere I can see for the Aco drain to go. If you follow it at 90 degrees along the side of the house, it would go into the neighbors garage. There is a drain on the flat roof but that goes down into the utility room and into the shower drain. It wouldn't...

    Driveway Drainage

    Any advice please. Our front driveway has Aco drains left to right, but the garage and side access was converted into a bedroom. The Aco drain goes into the boundary wall where it just ends. previous owners had a hole through wall, dumping all the rain water onto next doors drive. I'm guessing...

    Moisture under kitchen floor tiles

    could rain be blowing in through the catflap? Or under the door? Do you know where your stopcock is? Ours started leaking the other day, it was under the cabinets behind the dishwasher

    Supplier want's to deliver saturated shed, should that be acceptable ?

    I think you need to manage your expectations. It's made from treated timber that's going to live outside in the rain. Same as if you'd bought fencing. Would you expect treated fencing boards to be covered up if delivered? And what if they did deliver in a covered lorry, but when unloading it...

    How is water getting in my shed ?

    Mine does the same. It is raised above the concrete base and vented. I have sealed inbetween the panels which has improved matters by 70%. But there are still streaks that come in from the top. I'm just accepting that during the winter I keep a dehumidifer in there. It won't keep the...

    Pub Prices

    most places in Plymouth it's 5-6£ a pint. There's a really crap pub on the barbican which is 6.50. It's always rammed and I don't know why. pint of Greene king IPA in whether spoons was £1.89 and I was gob smacked

    If the residents of a village are mostly white, does that prove they must automatically be racist

    it's more about differences than race in my experience. my home town is 4000 people, to my knowledge there is 1 Chinese family and one black couple. If the black couple walked into a pub, people would turn and have a look. Not because they are black, but because it's an unusual site. the same...

    Laziness

    it's laziness and being thick. I knew a guy who'd never worked before, thought the Evri job would be a breeze. Drive round all day and couldn't find any of the addresses, so left all the parcels in the van and went to the pub

    Choosing a Bosch impact driver for screw driving

    I've got one with a 1/2 inch drive and it's handy but too aggressive for anything other than large wood screws. it's an impact wrench at heart. the one with the hex holder will probably be better for screws as the percussive action is more gentle. at least that's the case with the DeWalt ones

    Blue tooth speaker

    I'd second the Anker ones, used them for years (indoors only) and they are great quality for the money. They also do a smaller IP67 one for £19 but obviously a smaller speaker. They are so good in fact that my colleague ditched her Bose one and got the Anker because it sounded better, and was...

    What product do I need...advice needed please

    First off I'd get a dehumidifier or fan heater to blow on it for 24 hours at least, most of the end result is in the prep and you're neevr going to get best results if the area is still damp. It's hard to see how much gap you've got to fill from the bare brickwork to the back of the tile. I'd...

    trying to buy something and chat and phones useless RANT

    Most companies have now creamed their pants when they found they could use AI and save costs on staff. But the service is often abysmal if it's anything more than a very simple question. They rely on people being happy with the product, or will take the hit if they need to be returned within...

    Inbuild speaker system in kitchen ceiling

    Most speakers are passive i.e. need a power amplifier to make a sound. You can get active speakers with an amp built into them, but they are more like bookshelf speakers. They will also be not as good as "separates" because they cram a small, cheap amp into the speakers. That's never going to...

    What on earth is this?

    No Idea. I haven't even seen something like that on Temu or AExpress and that's saying something

    Inbuild speaker system in kitchen ceiling

    I would say, don't over complicate it. You can get ceilng speakers for £38 which are nice and white and slim, but they won't be the best in terms of sound quality. If you're not that fussed then they'll be fine. Otherwise, you can get much better car speakers to paint wite and fit, providing...
