    Sourcing Zebra (Day & Night) blind for a 240cm width window recess

    Vertical stripes? I doubt you'll find anything in that style and width as a standard

    Spans for ceiling

    It won't fail, it might sag a little but it won't fail. Laminated beams? Can't see them being cost effective for small spans.

    Spans for ceiling

    I'd go with the span tables minus a bit which would be about 5x2 for the 3.2m and 7x2 for the bigger one (400 centres). Noggins 4x2 at 1/3rds.

    EPC rating

    If you look on the EPC Register you can find assessors close to you, avoiding the likes of Mybuilder.

    EPC rating

    True, they do and always will serve a purpose legally but that's different to people paying much attention to them.

    EPC rating

    It is a complete waste of money, a pointless legacy of the Home Information Packs that were introduced in 2007 in an effort to make the buying process less hazardous but the EPC's remained after the HIP's were abandoned in 2010 as they were totally ineffective. An EPC assessor is only paid about...

    Fitting bearing in a cast iron brake drum

    I've done that plenty of times with the kids scooter wheel bearings, which are a PITA to change. Just need to make sure you're all square to start with otherwise it's no fun trying to remove a bearing that's started to go in on the skew.

    How should I fix this shelf support for my fridge door?

    Good idea, do you mean pour glue into the hole, only downside being the shelf cannot be removed again?

    Front Garden Drive Conversion issues

    There are usually very specific rules for a drop kerb application, if it doesn't comply then permission will be declined so you should check it meets the criteria before applying. It's different to planning there is very little if any negotiation with highways.

    Once you've bought the place then you can measure stuff and work a new staircase into the refurb, otherwise this is just a waste of time.

    Sliding Mitre saw PSMS210L

    Are you sure that's the right model number, absolutely nothing comes up on google. And if it's really ancient then you'll be out of luck anyway more than likely as the manual would never have been saved as a PDF. Or do you mean Black & Decker? even so nothing comes up for that model number either.

    Cladding top

    That gap should be open at the top/under the flashing you intend to fit, to allow moisture to escape ideally with an insect mesh.

    Cladding top

    You don't need something like that but that is an ideal and attractive solution. To use the product I linked to you would do something like this: It's a very standard epdm roof edge solution.

    Cladding top

    You could simply use something like this: https://www.rubber4roofs.co.uk/metal-edge-trim-rubber-roofing If you want belt and braces you could lap a bit of epdm (or whatever the exact system your using) over the join/screw heads.

    Cladding top

    And where on earth is the ventilation gap behind the cladding?

    Reinforcing the base of divan bed drawers

    I might be inclined to use a bit of timber underneath, fixed at the front with an angle bracket and fixed at the back with either a couple of screws into the end grain. Or you could use an angle there too. Or you could fix screws in through the top if you don't care about seeing the screw heads...
