That's normal, depending on the type of phone and the port it's connected to. Some Panasonic systems can have three extensions running off a single port. The connector is an RJ11 - the cables that come with modems or routers are often RJ11-RJ11, and will do the job.

I reckon the installer was too scared to drill or notch the joist.

Thanks for that. I can't manage to shift it at the moment; I think a bit more effort might be needed :)

One of the hinges on my toilet seat has become loose. This may sound simple, but I can't work out how to tighten it! The picture below shows the design of the toilet. I can't get my hand far enough around the back to reach the underside of the hinge, and I can't see a way to tighten it...

A tenon saw is easier I find.

The dampers on my kitchen drawers are integral to the runners, and work perfectly even when full and heavy. The plunger type, as you've got, are fitted to my cupboards and work ok there. Have you tried fitting more than one to each drawer?

Have you got the guarantee for the tanking? If so, call the company that did it and get them to come and inspect it.

I can't figure out what the first sentence means. There is an old double switch involved, and someone's probably fitted a new CU, but there's no hint as to what the problem might be. The second run-on sentence is a bit easier, but doesn't give much info. It means that people have to guess or...
