Hello. Bought a cheap laptop and first thing I'm trying to do is copy pictures and videos from an android phone. It usually won't connect. When it finally did it only copied 625 out of about 3000. When I try again and it eventually recognises the phone it only adds the ones taken since the first...

I just got a 9 inch screen one of these. Once I opened it and looking at the dashboard it's obvious it's going to block some of the view through the windscreen. My question is basically does anyone know what is allowed or not allowed with regards to something blocking your view. I can't imagine...

Hello. I have a steel to go on an outside wall. It's been stored outside and covered. I intend to sand and give it a coat of red oxide as it needs doing in places despite being covered. As this has to be done outside I'm thinking I might have left it too late in the year. Anyone have an idea...

Not sure what to ask to see from a builder who says they have insurance? Should I get them to email something? This is for a structural alteration? (Steels, padstones, removing load bearing walls etc).

Does anyone have a recommendation for where to buy resin? I got the stainless bars already. Its probably caused by straight joints in the block work. It's for a garage wall.

So if for example you are a self employed carpenter. But you start working as a self employed carer or cleaner do you let them know?

The outside tap is leaking. I've tried to undo it but no luck. Also the one I've bought to replace it isn't a match. I've taken a picture of both taps. Any ideas?

A friend's had a quote from a builder to fit an rsj. The builder said you now can only dry pack with slate above the steel. My friend said do you mean you don't use any mortar, just slate? The builder said yes. Is it possible there's a misunderstanding and when he says dry pack the builder is...

Got a patio to do about 10m2. I would have done a type 1 base but can't really get a whacker plate to the location. Any suggestions?

I need to start building before the box arrives as the local yard are out of stock. If anyone knows the size of one that fits in the cavity? Also if there's a good place to get them online. That would be a help. I assume you can retro fit them also? Cheers

Hello, i'd be interested to see if anyone would expect to see an expansion joint here. Or maybe the windows would do a job? Ill attach a sketch. The red lines indicate internal walls and the two green capital i's are steels. Cheers

Hello. I had to dig a hole near a retaining wall as water was gathering and I needed a low spot to get a submersible pump in. It's done the job but the hole has got bigger due to the sides slumping. It's now starting to go under the walls foundations I'd like to pour concrete in there but it's...

I recently did my self assessment and I can't find how to pay my NI. It says you can pay it at the same time but I can't find out how. I can't remember how I did it in the past. Anyone know? I googled it but no luck.

As you've probably guessed the extension has solid floors and I need to get the air through it to the existing wooden ones. I've seen 110mm brown pipe used but is there anything else. Preferably something a bit smaller then it will allow room for 100mm celotex over the top. Cheers.

Hello. I bought a used steering wheel for the little boy for Xmas. Got it from CEX. But there's no way of clamping or sticking it to the table. I don't know about this sort of thing but I would have thought something should have come with it but what can I get to hold it down or should I...

Due to a sloping site a step in DPC is needed. It's being rendered below DPC so I'm using blocks and a step of 215mm works out perfect as the interval floor is stepping down as well. But I'm not sure what I've got in mind will cut it with building control as it's one big step. I'll attach a...

Hello. My garage roof has a big gap suddenly appeared. I'll add a picture. It's corrugated probably asbestos and a bit has disappeared along the ridge. Is there anything I can do for now like tape a sheet of something over the hole. If so what kind of tape? Cheers

Just wondering what happens if a car taking it's MOT early fails. Are you allowed to carry on until your original date giving more time to get the work done and getting the money together to pay for repairs. Thanks.

Hello, I've just read online that once you remove a wheel even if you put it straight back on again it needs alignment and balancing again. Is that true?
