    Wet room enclosure, on tiled floor

    If the floor is level, sure. If it slopes to drain the water you'll need to do something - enclosure screens are installed on the level edge of a tray Be sure to clean the existing tiles well; silicone won't adhere properly to tiles covered in conditioner etc

    How to put router somewhere else?

    It's what I said in post 4 It will work, so long as it doesn't get damaged. Avoid running it too near power cables If you need a 30m cable your gaff must be massive!?

    How to put router somewhere else?

    Show us a picture of the box on the wall that inhibits the movement of the router, a picture of the cable between the box and the router, and a picture of the router Sounds like you're paying to have the terminating equipment moved. Probably unnecessary

    Where to connect ethernet cables?

    Get a wire run from loft to router and get some plugs put on the ends Buy a "gigabit switch" (tp link probably cheapest good brand or seek out a second hand dlink, netgear etc on ebay), theyre small, about the size of a fat wallet for a 5 port, then you can plug multiple loft devices into it-...

    How to put router somewhere else?

    If it makes a whining noise that puts her off sleeping, move it easy enough If it's just the flashing lights out tape on them To move it, get a longer wire that goes from router to socket and drill it through a nearby wall, floor etc and put the router elsewhere convenient For more advice...

    How to join a glass flat (low pitch) roof to a pitched slate roof?

    I would probably mechanically fix the leadax to the fascia under the tile overhang and under the projection of the felt, so the felt can shed any water it collects over the fixings and onto the flashing Leadax is intended to be a lead alternative, it's pliable but fairly heavy and can be shaped...

    How to join a glass flat (low pitch) roof to a pitched slate roof?

    Not sure flashband would work there; it doesn't really have any rigidity if its own, and relies on adhering to the substrate for that, so you perhaps wouldnt look to bond it to roofing "felt". Also, if the bituminous substance on the underside got hot in the summer I could see it running the...

    EV are they worth it?

    And how many of those devices are cheap Chinese tat? It's all I see you proclaim to buy.. Perhaps they're just sick of you pestering them about which dash wipes to use so you don't invalidate your insurance Don't own a car then. Anything with 50+ litres of highly flammable liquid on board is...

    Bosch 12v combi drill switch problems

    They have a 3 year warranty; if they break every 2 years it's Bosch's problem? My 18v version of the same drill has been trouble free for around 10 years now; do you go for the 12 specifically for some reason? Weight? Already have batteries etc?

    Temporary propping of loft to allow pigeon decontamination contractors to work safely

    Why do you think it's your job to carry out this level of baby-sitting to contractors whose daily job it is to crawl round lofts hoovering up poop? If I called in some roofers, I wouldn't put the scaffold up for them and tell them to only step on battens that were nailed down; I would expect...

    Screws for timber framing

    You'll be framing in soft wood; don't worry, they will countersink themselves if you want them to, unless you drive them in starting in the middle of a knot Not sure how much framing you'll be doing but your equal cost point for a cordless framing nailer vs those screws is about 5000 fixings.

    Induction hob buying advice.

    Maybe go and play with some in a kitchen shop before you buy (they need to be wired in) I like our Neff for the most part but the control system is irritatingly ponderous You hold your finger on the power "button" (an area of the glass that has some kind of numb touch sensor) for a while, and...

    Selt tap into rsj?

    You can fix it to that joist with a suitable spacer instead. It doesn't need to push/pull on the RSJ, it just needs to be firmly attached to something to operate the door

    Screed over fresh concrete

    (Which might be important if it's 5 mm of self leveller but I wouldn't really care a hoot if 27 tons of screed wasn't stuck to its concrete substrate on every square millimetre..) Also, I gotta point out things like concrete blocks are well cured by the time they're built into a wall and I...
