    Sticking shower screen stop to bath

    Photos would help. Silicone or MS polymers are a bodge. Can you not purchased new seals?

    Wooden Front Door repair

    2 Pack will probably be fine. Epoxy resin would be better but potentially much more expensive. The void is protected from the rain and greater/extreme degrees of movement. The key hole on the outside/inside- I would recommend topping it up with a soft filler such as RedDevil OneTime. The two...

    Aerial Help

    I think you should be looking for 214, not 210 https://www.freeview.co.uk/get-freeview-play/channels/cartoon-classics The following seems to suggest that the TV needs to be internet enabled- sorry, I didn't read the whole thread, am having a quick lunchtime pint.

    Help identifying replacement upward-opening cabinet hinge

    I am not so sure. I don't recall Blum ever stamping just a lower case b on their hinges rather than the name Blum. Nevertheless, here is a link for the OP to get the dimensions. https://publications.blum.com/2022/catalogue/en/100/

    Trump is suing the BBC for Ten Billion USD.

    Why do you assume it is spin? Do you really think that the secret service would allow an ordinary Joe to approach Ivanka and hand her a letter? Ain't gonna happen, hence the BBC asking for a route to serve the papers.

    Domestic 3 way switching

    She wouldn't have known about Live CDs. I honestly couldn't work out what she did. I used a live linux CD to look at the drive- that was when I discovered that C:\WINDOWS directory was missing. First time I had come across that. PC support was a side line rather than my primary income. It was...

    Interlocking log cabin gaps & twisting causing water ingress - flexible sealant or structural fix?

    I have assembled a couple of Tuin log cabins. Do you have their toy guttering or no guttering? I would be inclined to contact them. @Wayners ' advice about CT1 is sound. It is slightly thinner than stixall.

    Domestic 3 way switching

    Years ago I got a call from a regular customer. She told me that her laptop had stopped working and she tried putting a pin in the reset hole. I guess she was getting confused with her Windows PDA. Anywho, I inspected the laptop. She had managed to delete the whole windows directory. I had never...

    Trump is suing the BBC for Ten Billion USD.

    I agree that they should have made it clear that they had spliced the two clips together. I haven't seen the programme. I have no idea if it was balanced or not. Does anyone know if they make it clear, later in the programme, that they had spliced the intro? Trump seems to be fixated on that one...

    Trump is suing the BBC for Ten Billion USD.

    The guy who fancied his daughter when she was a minor. The guy who is on record as saying that he would date a 12(?) year old when she was older? Seriously, that is someone whom you hold in high esteem? Politics aside- he might well be a pedo. Even if he isn't he is actively defending p'dos...

    Why do you hate saws? Wouldn't an angle grinder be easier?

    Trump is suing the BBC for Ten Billion USD.

    The BBC has admitted that that their editing of a nearly two hour speech into a 20 second clip might have given the wrong impression. The Panorama episode was only 60 minutes long. How could they truncate the 2 hour speech in a 60 minute programme? You seem to be overlooking the fact that he...

    How to toe and heel a door/window - step by step

    I am hoping that this is pinned to the start. You have helped me in the past, and doubtless helped many other people (non members that stumble upon this site but who do not sign up). As an aside, what is the tool that you are using in the photos?

    Removing brickwork safely.

    Path of least resistance... why not face them with sand/cement and then use a mix of PVA and Sika mortar coloured powder. A mate of mine is an amazing brick pointer, if the brick doesn't warrant removing, he faces it. The following photos are a job where he removed the existing render- see the...

    Bosch washing machine cycle taking too long.

    Sorry, does it fast spin with a load in it? Years ago my Meile refused to do a fast spin when loaded. Someone on another site recommended checking the brushes. It was odd, one brush showed no obvious sign of wear, the other was very worn. I went to Capital Repairs in Rayners Lane. Weirdly...

    Replacing back garden light - would you choose light with PIR sensor?

    Apropos brands- I have had some LEDs that failed after a few months. I now purchase the V-Tac Led flood lights based on advice offered here. They have Samsung chips and a (edit:5) year warranty. Thus far they have proven to be reliable.

    Replacing back garden light - would you choose light with PIR sensor?

    I guess it depends on where you live. My previous home backed on to park (west London). The only time that someone tried to break in they jumped over a neighbour's fence and pushed the PIR up so that he wouldn't trigger it.

    Old damp proof holes in bricks

    Erm... mortar is not waterproof. On a solid 9" wall, the internal plaster is not water proof. Were the suppliers of slate for the victorian DPC's part of the "damp conspiracy"?
