    Wonky fence

    Where the posts concrete or just had soil backfilled and rammed in? How deep do the posts go? If the post holes where only backfilled then it should be possible to take the panels out, dig the posts out, clear the holes and put them back but use prostrate or concrete instead of backfilling...

    What are you watching on TV right now?

    Thanks. Well, no longer connected to - gosh it hurt getting the connecting pads off (how girlies put up with hair waxing I now know!). I'm an "inmate' for the next 24/48 hours until they get my breathing and O2 levels stable. First time I've been a patient in 39 years. Last time it was for an...

    No, here I am sitting in hospital assessment watching my 12 lead ECG stripe roll by. Now that's boring!

    Landlord/letting/finders/management fee question/advice.

    It's been some years since my father was in that need. Hospital doctors really scared me when they asked did I have Power of Attorney, when I said 'No' his response was 'good' but didn't explain why. But was in relevance to him going into a home; in the end the council picked the tab up. Mother...

    How to put router somewhere else?

    So for best WiFi performance the router needs to be in the centre of the house. The white box with 2/3/4 flashing LEDs is the ONT (Optical Network Termination) - that cannot now be moved easily however the Router can be. Select where you want it to go close to a mains socket and run the CAT6...

    What have you bought today?

    Fish & Chips supper in a resturant. That raises a question - why do restaurants like parts of a meal on top of other parts of a meal? Tonight the fish was laid on top of the chips with the mushy peas on on side-by-side that means to season the chips you have to either eat the fish first or move...

    My Lad's NZ Rugby Trip

    clearly better than the people at USA TSA - when I transitted through Guam, having had my bag checked in front of me, asking is OK to lock the bag, when I collected it in Truk it had been cut open, 'inspected', notice left but not fully zipped up. Didn't seem to be anything missing but I wasn't...

    Jeremy Hunt shifting the tax burden towards pensioners

    Interest - I believe is taxed as 'normal' income'. Capital gains, was £12K over the purchase price then 28% on the remainder; now £3K over the purchase price then 24% on the remainder. The really nasty one is When you take cash from an insurance bond - taxed at normal income rates after 5% tax...

    Anyone help with what router bit I need to cut a groove please?

    What tools do you have access to, presently? A Router, especially if you are not used to using one is not the best tool. You have think about sealing the glazing in the slot as well putting the frame together. In My opinion a much better way is to cut a rebate (on a tablesaw or with a tracksaw)...

    Something looks wrong around the chimney stack. The flashing and flunching shouldn't have a gap between tthem. The tiles above the lead don't look like they have been laid correctly is that why the lead us there to cover an even bigger error?

    Neighbour has 14kW on his roof with 7kW battery. He's also on Octopus 'Agile' for electricity. I've seen his figures and his electric costs for the last 3 quarters is zero and he also as not paid any standing charge on his gas, only what he uses for heating. That is all through what his house...

    Year end. ISAs

    I'd also say out a similar amount into a pension if your employer doesn't offer one. I'd put money into a Cash ISA to build up a usable sum for a year or two. Having a Cash ISA will allow you to transfer more cash into a S&S ISA - means less cost to buy in. Certainly anyone thinking their...
