    Replacement Tumble Dryer

    If they use 10x the power they would have to be more than 10x quicker to be cheaper. And if you're venting all the heat outdoors then that's a wasted opportunity, to say the least. I use Wayner's approach, dehumidifier pointed at washing rack. Yeah, takes ages.

    Maybe ask the mods to move this post into the Building forum as I think that's what your question hinges on.

    I would give it 6 months of temperature and humidity changes before declaring victory :)

    Installing a salvaged double doorset in an internal opening

    It is obviously feasible to install a door in a wall, because the door you're talking about was previously in a wall. Anything can be done for a price. So my guess is that your real question is, how much is it going to cost to get someone to do this? It's difficult to give an answer over the...

    Small Fence in Front Garden

    I can see why you'd want them only on the pillars but I suspect the spacing is a bit much and the mesh would sag. What kind of mesh did you have in mind?

    I am on Agile, my average for 18th Nov - 17th Dec was 16.3p, so I reckon 31.94p is high!

    Smart meter home display question

    Yes, but that doesn't tell you anything about whether Octopus can get readings from them, unfortunately.

    Best way go link electric cables outside

    Wire strippers. This style is a bit fiddly but works: I've got some cheap ones of these but sometimes they cut instead of strip:

    Advice on dodgy cooker hood extraction installation

    Fisher & Paykel Refrigerator Water Filter - Part no 847200

    1. Take a picture of the filter and do a Google image search. Maybe it's not a unique part. 2. Just use a filter jug, then you're not tied in.

    Make a toaster go "ping"

    Good to hear that from an actual human. AI summary is wrong (again), in a detailed, specific and convincing way!

    Make a toaster go "ping"

    How would you go about making a toaster go "ping" when the timer is up? I have a Dualit toaster which has a large empty space at the end where the controls are. There is a neon which is on whilst the timer is running, which could be tapped for power. Then when power goes away, actuate a bell...
