    Internet 'adjustable' alarm?

    We're looking at a rental cabin about 3 hrs drive from home. Obviously we want it alarmed but want to change the disarm code between guests without having to drive up there. Does anything exist that can have its setting changed remotely via the internet? W.

    Tyre Rotation - (tyre maintenace)

    The Ford dealer rotated my tyres (tires here) on the last service. Coupled with the 15lb psi extra they put in each tyre it made the car almost un drivable, just as well they were almost due for replacement... The tyre shop couldn't believe they'd even consider not recommending they were...

    Drowned People on Camber Sands

    I always loved the way the mountain rescue guys could say what they really felt on tv/radio interviews about those they had saved but when I worked for the RNLI we had to be politically correct and couldn't say people were stupid... W.

    Can I cut a hole in kingspan insulation for a recessed book case?

    Just a thought... unless there is (another) access to the void insulating the sides,top and bottom is going to be rather difficult given that you can't insulate before you fit the unit as it'll be too big and once it's in you can't get to them from the room. W.

    Mystery objects - anyone ID please?

    Now you say that I seem to remember my parents having something similar for either their old coal fired water heater or the fire place (circa 1976-1986 ish). W.

    Water heater issues.

    Thanks all. Firstly I used £ instead of $ to make it easier for most of the users here to see the increases. - no timer, it on 24/7 and reheats the water as its used. - I guess the thermostat is independent of the elements? He only tested the elements. - my thinking was if the elements were...

    Water heater issues.

    OK so this is in California but I doubt that will have any relevance to the question. Over the past 4 months our electric bill has increased by about £10-15 per month for no apparent reason, if anything it should have decreased as my job is seasonal and I'm out of the house more. And it is...

    Water under the house :(

    In the 3rd picture it looks like the top of a waste pipe just sticking up above the water? Maybe the kitchen drain is meant to connect to that? W.

    The chavs won't give a hoot will they?

    Why not ban children? No more expensive child support. No screaming, badly behaved, smelly things in pubs/restaurants/stores/the street/on buses/on trains/etc. No ****ty nappies dumped on the side of the road/in rubbish bins/in car parks/parks/etc. Nothing for the dogs to bite either -...

    Shoppers Rights?

    I had a bottle of rum fall off the trolley in Tesco's car park, the security guard saw it happen. Almost instantly someone appear with a dustpan/brush and very shortly after with a new bottle to replace it. I also seem to remember when we had large home deliveries from Tesco if you found...

    Is An Isolator In A Shower/bath Area Acceptable

    Not a certified electrician but a competent DIYer and have various occupational radio/electronic qualifications... so no idea of the current regs, etc. But how can a 240v switch/isolator that isn't waterproof or water resistant and can be easily sprayed with the shower head be permissible or...

    Clear Acrylic Bathtub - How to Build?

    Why do you need to take it apart to move it? A normal sized tub can be replaced through a regular sized door. Plenty of acrylic fish tanks that don't become opaque with time (despite cleaning algae off them) and hold much more water than a tub. W.
