    Grab rails for inside attic/ loft

    what about this type of thing https://www.heatandplumb.com/acatalog/akw-1700-series-grab-rail-01760?msclkid=42253ee24e641ae5cc7a5b36dfe7f1b8&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=SH2d%20-%20AKW%20Shopping&utm_term=4580840325502647&utm_content=SH2%20-%20AKW%20Shopping

    Grab rails for inside attic/ loft

    what are you trying to achieve? Can't you just use banister rails and fittings? or some planed 2x2 timber.

    Osmo oil on a Wickes Oak door? (says not to)

    personally I think they are just covering themselves as it's one less thing they have to guarantee against. I guess there is the outside chance that the oil and solvent will weaken the glues holding the laminate. If you have an offcut of a laminated door or one that you don't mind testing you...

    Backup software recomendation

    yes that's what I mentioned above. Seems to do everything I need it to do. I just plug in my device and it syncs all the latest file changes. Job done. I can go into the drive and browse the files from another machine so I know they are there and saved. (I don't encrypt my drives) The other...

    ****ing boiler system...

    agreed. My suggestion was more an immediate fix/protection whilst the other problem is sorted. I was probably thinking of it from my position where I would fit this myself without the need of a plumber. I think some of them like this one can just be added to the end of the washing machine...

    ****ing boiler system...

    By the sounds of it you have air in your system which was causing the banging but I have seen it where a worn valve caused the banging/vibration. My old tap used to do it when the rubber washer was worn out and my parent in laws header tank valve on the ballcock did the same. Both instantly...

    Whilst you are waiting to sort that out I'd consider fitting a water hammer arrestor like this...

    My new Fretwork website.

    Never quite sure what google does but in theory the links in signatures are marked with rel="nofollow" which tells search engines to ignore the links. Best thing they can do is to sign up to google's search console as it will give loads of info about page indexing status and reasons why pages...

    Lets see your wood

    30-40ft Ash tree across the road from me was taken down by highways. I went and spoke to the chaps doing the work and blagged probably half the tree. There was another chap with a flatbed that must have seen it whilst passing, i was racing to get as much wood as possible. Luckily I could see...

    Why do we get such a limited choice of planers/machines in the UK?

    I think the answer generally (as mentioned in passing above) is that there are less and less people doing diy/woodworking etc, so the market is small. In the US it appears that people still do a fair bit (although I could be wrong). I built a kitcar many years ago and have watched as the kitcar...

    A lesson in thermodynamics and a nice cup of tea

    Yeah I made a little windbreak on 3 sides with me on the 4th but to no avail, just too cold. Hadn't really thought about the likelihood of it being so cold as we were only mid-france at the time. It was actually significantly colder than the Alps at 1500m. I had considered the spirit burners...

    Backup software recomendation

    Have you tried the built in backup and file history system that comes with windows? (assuming windows as you mention PC) Is there something that GoodSync does better? I just plug my drive in and it backs up any new files or changes. I can go into the drive and follow the same directory paths as...

    Severance negotiations

    All very good for the company but we have no idea if the OP actually wants to leave or has other job opportunities. From what we know so far the OP took a day off to go for a job interview, which as far as I am aware does not breach any employment law or require redundancy.

    Severance negotiations

    check you home insurance. Some policies cover work disputes.

    Severance negotiations

    As long as the company policy states you can have emails on your personal devices then there is no issue. As with insurance, check your policies carefully. SARs are all good, assuming the company is honest and bothers to do a good job. 'Oh dear our server had a virus and lost 6 months of...

    Severance negotiations

    So you know that is in place and could plan accordingly, e.g screen grab things out that relate to a grievance. If you are allowed by the company to just setup your work emails on your phone without IT support (add account -> sign in etc) without any policy giving them access to your device...

    Severance negotiations

    Depends. If your work allows you to have your emails on your phone or device, then it would be impossible for them to know. The places I've worked don't want to buy phones for everyone so allow people to put their work emails on their phones. Other than cutting your access to further emails they...

    Severance negotiations

    Can't go into reasons why took my previous employer to tribunal but ended up getting a nice settlement as well as 10yrs of redundancy pay. Some things I learnt. Assuming things go badly. Take a backup of all your emails onto your own device (this might not be legal so don't shout about it)...

    Electric vehicles

    I'm not an advocate for EVs (at least not in their current form) but the whole scare tactic that is going around seems like something people with an agenda want to push. Let's not forget we are driving around in cars filled with highly flammable liquid in a tank hanging under the car. I'm quite...

    Electric vehicles

    Because in many cases auto manufacturers in the 1930s conspired to buy up the tram systems and destroy them. It is well documented. If they had not done so perhaps things would be very different. Never underestimate the power of corruption to shape our world. The fossil fuel companies are...
