Is Gorilla grab adhesive good enough?

Hi, Few of my vinyl tiles were loose, so I peeled them off. And will try to stick the same tiles back on. Few questions: 1) do I have to remove the residual dried up adhesives? They are hard to scrape off, even with a scraper. Or is there an easier way to scrape them off?Vinyl tiles by tabita...

thanks for all the advice!

Hi everyone, I’m looking for a tv bracket for 48” There are pre-drilled holes on my wall, 6 of them, arranged in 2 columns: 2 holes x 3 rows. 9 cm distance between left and right column. 11.5 cm distance between every row. im hoping to just re-use the holes. But all the brackets I’ve seen...

My next question is, if I want to use a battery powered unit, what do I do with the existing wires?

Yea, that was one of the main question. Because I really don't know. I guess now I know that's a bad idea! It is my own property. It's making a double beep, which diagram suggests module needs changing. I was just trying to find the cheapest way to replace it, because the replacement module...

Hi all, My existing CO detector is beeping, and probably needs to be replaced. It is a Honeywell SF340, which apparently is mains powered. I think one can buy a replacement sensor module, but is more expensive than just buying a new one. A lot of the new ones I can find on amazon are...

just encountered an issue. Firstly, my drill bit is not long enough (but I imagine I can easily buy a longer one). Secondly, my screws are not long enough to reach into the bricks. My curtain bracket accepts probably 4mm size readily. but it is only 60mm long. I think I need one around 10cm...

Hi all, Quick question about about screws please. I have this bracket for my curtain pole. I will be drilling through the plasterboard, and into the bricks. In the attached picture, I would have preferred the silver screw, because it will make a flat contact with the bracket. But I can't find...

Hi all, Thanks for the reply. jj4091, that is a good idea of dismantling a similar unit. Definitely cheaper than buying just a part. ericmark, I've tried the WD40, it didn't fix it unfortunately. 1) Another symptom is that when I spun the fan, it feels stiff. This does support the fact that...

Hi everyone, Need some advice my cooker hood please. The fan stopped working, and only produced a very soft hum when it is switched on. The lights on the hood still work. Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I suspect the motor is faulty. I took the motor casing down, opened it up, and hand-spun...

Hi all, thanks for the replies. I am away atm, but will post the make/model of the boiler and shower litre per minute soon. The hot water from the kitchen and toilet taps are working fine. It is only the shower which is experiencing the too hot/too cold problem. This makes me think it is a...

Yea, I'm in hard water region unfortunately. Is there a way to pin point whether it's the boiler or the shower?

I suddenly wonder, could it be related to limescale build up?

Hi all, I have a problem with the hot water from my shower which is equipped with a thermostatic mixer valve. I used to shower at 37C. But lately, the boiler would not kick in until I turn the knob to 40C, which is too hot for me. Any less than 40C and the boiler would stop. Can anyone advise...

Hey Deefadog, I am looking into terracing my own backyard, and came across your post. That is some amazing work you've done. Can you show us more photos, especially the ones in progress? I'm completely novice and I think in-progress photos will help.

Hi all, Thanks for all the input. I used a 4.8mm drill bit I have lying around. I measured the dowel shaft to be 4mm, and the threaded portion to be 5mm. I note however that the existing hole was 5mm. Anyway, I made a 4mm hole, and it was too tight. 4.8mm felt minimally tight, so I went with...

The left image shows one of the screw has now been screwed onto the top of the bookshelf. The right image shows an extension bookshelf 'docking' onto the screw. The next step would be to tighten that plastic thing into that round recess. Am I making sense? I have a 5mm drill bit that I have...
