    road wars

    If the Police find the offender has a baseball cap and/or hoodie then they should be allowed to take them round the back and shoot them and move on. Saves on the paperwork.

    Ford Focus 2002 nearside door mirror loose

    When I used to work for Ford the mirrors would usually have just popped off a central ball joint that a socket on the back of the mirror attaches to. To put it back you cup the mirror housing top 'n' bottom with your thumbs pressing against the glass near the centre of the mirror. Then push with...

    converting audio files

    DRM is difficult to circumvent and so it is not simple to "un-lock" tracks. The simplest solution is to burn to CD then back to MP3 as mentioned earlier, use CD re-writables to minimise cost.

    Plastering advice desperately needed!!!

    I would say do a little more work to bring the room upto date as this is the ideal time to do it. Remove the skirtings and have the sockets chased into the walls above the skirtings. Then the plasterer can do some make good on the chases, skim the whole room then you can refit some nice new...

    I AM A POLAR BEAR AND I WANT A WORD

    Polar Bears are only found in the Artic. In fact Antartica comes from the Greek words anti-arktos which literally mean Anti Bear. TexMex gave a subtle hint in his post, above. :D

    Sound proofing a connecting wall

    Well thats the theory, a stud wall not fixed in any way to the party wall with an airspace, then packed with rockwall or similar then finished with two layers of plasterboard and then plaster! Problem is that until you do all this you will not know if it has been a success or not! It all...

    Sound proofing a connecting wall

    Your problem sounds exactly like mine and you have my sympathy! I moved into a solid 1930's semi last June with an old couple and their son living next door. The old couple are a bit deaf and we can clearly hear radio 4 news at 9 every night! Their sons bedroom backs on to ours and he works...

    Studding Out Doorway

    Any tips for routing?

    Thats not correct. You feed in a clockwise direction for internal cuts but anti-clockwise on external cuts. One of the many references and a few tips for the beginner here: http://www.wa1.quik.com.au/tod/safe_routing_procedures.htm

    What is on my walls?

    Hi Just bought a house, 1930's semi, and started down the redecorate and renovate path. Started to strip the wallpaper as we want to go back to plain walls. Whilst the paper is coming off OK there is a biscuity coloured substance left on the walls, picture here. Could it be distemper? If...
