Yet the toilet can bear you sitting on it? Lift the seat, board over the hole, job done Leave the step ladders closed and lean them on a wall, then climb them I’ve also before now laid open step ladders down on their side and put a board on them to hop up a little. Depends how sturdy they are...

The world would be a better place with less technology

If it’s from a dealer, it’s covered under the distance selling regs giving you 14 days to choose whether to keep the car or not, and arrange a return. Drive it back and train home, could be a cheap couple of weeks hire all in?!

You could read a book!

Mm, and people are so timid with their driving these days I doubt that any modern car would see a vapour lock even off severely contaminated brake fluid, but equally water content will spread through the entire system by diffusion and the occasional pad change pumping all the fluid back into the...

It’s ok, with the money they made from selling(/not having to maintain) unused storage buildings, they were able to buy the parts needed :)

You just squeeze all the fluid back into the system? Oof; the stuff sitting behind the pistons has the hardest life; I’d sooner get rid of it Depending on how fast you go through brake pads, if you dump it instead, you extend the time between system fluid changes, or possibly obviate the...

When I’m renewing pads I open the bleed on the caliper before I push the pads in but not the reservoir; pump all the old fluid out of the bleed screw and discard it rather than pump a load of manky fluid back up the system. I use a G clamp to gently squeeze the pad back in to the caliper and...

I guess you’ll just have to put up a camera and see your quantum entanglement in action then

Before you do anything else, and before you disconnect anything, get a sharpie/some tippex and put a different number of lines/dots on each wire (so you have a red wire with no lines, a red wire with one line, a red wire with two lines…) Then take a picture; a picture of 3 red wires all...

You recently had cause to remove the plastic drawer that houses the M4 bolts and put it next to your work area. The job was interrupted. Some days later you had need of a bolt, but couldn’t find the drawer and performed a different job. Some more days later you completed the original job and...

May not be important; depends on the choice of light. If it’s absent or not connected to earth, it should influence the choice of light State your concerns, rather than making vague claims

The hissing/popping noise that indicates some part of the water is boiling For example when you put a kettle full of water on an it starts with noises/bubbles attached to the element, but the bubbles are absorbed back into the cooler water above without becoming a rolling boil (air bubbles...

One of the things for which Google glasses would be good; a video recording of what you did with your hands Maybe even a motion activated recording of your garage Perhaps you find things out of place and return them but don’t remeber that part (it’s not a very interesting process)

So are gas flames! Appreciable pressure gradient causing back pressure over 5m? Hmm.. OK, put some numbers at it to prove that a commercial grade cooker hood mated to a 6 inch vertical 5m minimal bend (it’s a chimney; they’re straight up for aforementioned reasons) is gonna suffer so much...

Haah, nuts to that; FB is full of w****** who want something for nothing, and seem happy to endlessly mess you about if you list a bargain. Plus you then have all sorts of riffraff wanting to come round your house.. eBay buyers generally pay more (list it with a higher price than you want and...

The ridge along the top is a hinge, which may help you determine. Perhaps also, when you get it open, post a clear picture of it open to both this thread and the other thread as an assist to future users - quite often seeing the inside of a confusingly closed thing is very illuminating as to...

Hah, like it (Though my question was specifically about the reason for why pete01 received/bought flowers with such a cheeky card. What did he do/suffer this time?)

Insulated ducting is a thing, used for MVHR systems for the from/to world air runs I don’t know that I’d engage in any hand wringing over a fan moving hot air (off a cooking stove) up a vertical column as being a difficult thing for it to do. Coal fires seem to manage it just with natural...
