Entry qualifications? Wot like understanding some obscure 'joke'? Well that'll rule out me and @stuart little . No disrespect meant Stuart. Martin

Yeap! Even with a cordless drill. Sometimes wax, sometimes fairy liquid, anything that'll act as a lube. Candle wax on handsaws though. Martin

Yes. Two people out of about a dozen offered on the house the weekend we viewed. It first went to the others but they pulled out (this was before the flood) so bought it. It would have cost the vendors money (it was vacant so insurance voided) and another three or four months getting it sorted...

Why bother when a more elegant solution is to run it horizontally with appropriate slope through the floor (the joists run in the right direction) and down inside the house into the downstairs toilet at the front of the house.

Yeap! We always planned extensive modifications to the house including either plumbing the toilet/shower/basin directly into the foul water drain within the house or removing the the macerator etc entirely. Plumbing through the garage isn't really feasible not so much because of the garage but...

How about slicing the maple in two i.e. ending up with two bits 5cm x (say) 13mm. Sandwiching something else in the middle to make it 5cm x 40mm and using that. This way you only see maple on the outside and only you know there is something else inside. You may have to cover the ends of the...

@davethebb Thanks Dave: that looks like good advice. I'll look out Centrecoat GS36 and see what it's about. @Fergie 307 I'm coming to the conclusion that the garage ceiling has to go and I'll probably not replace it as such just ensure there's a fireproof barrier between the garage and the room...

@Limey Lurker So difficult to tell. I have no idea what was causing the leak only that is was into the macerator system and overflowing from the shower tray. It could have been the shower itself. When I removed and tipped water from the macerator the water looked clear and clean with no...

Thanks everyone for your responses. I'll post again when I've decided what to do. @Jones errr? Resilient bars? Please elucidate. Martin

@John Hall I've used HG products before though just generally in a bathroom to successfully remove a small amount of mold. I'm not so sure about using them on large areas and wood and plasterboard. Does the bottle spray or does it just ooze a foamy mess? I thought/hoped there may be a more...

About 10 days before the flood was discovered our surveyor had viewed the property. I would hope that at that time there was no leak. Although I expect he wasn't doing any electrical checks I hope he would have seen that one of the power circuits on the consumer unit had tripped if it had done...

Pictures as requested. One of the general areas. This room is above the garage. Both are attached to the main house. I've no pictures of the lounge as that has had a dehumidifier running in it for several days and is now quite dry although some areas still have a degree of mold. Detail from...

Moved into a new home (for us) three weeks ago. What a lark! Vendor hadn't removed all his mother's goods (even longer story and had gone on holiday) before completion. Went over night before simultaneous exchange/completion to see how much was left, to be met by panic stricken estate agent...

It does need to be an X rated cap across L-N and Y rated from L to E and N to E to survive the possible/probable surges and spikes on L and N. Otherwise a) more bangs and b) repeated replacements.

@flintandsteel .Sorry for the delay getting back. RS Components no longer offer that component or any directly compatible one. I cannot find a direct equivalent on any site I would have used as a professional electronic engineer. You have a couple of alternative solutions. You could fit a...

Although the 17.00mm stated in the OPs original message could be said to imply an accuracy of 0.01mm is that really the requirement? Normal engineering practice, I think, is +/-0.1. If 0.01mm is required then the surfaces need lapping smooth otherwise your just measuring the top of the bumps...

This is a suppression component comprising three capacitors within one unit wired across L, N & Earth. Made for RS Components. I'll have a better look for a replacement tomorrow when I can use my PC rather than my tablet. You could continue to use your dust extractor without suppression but it...

I bought a Rothenburg copy from the great South American river for £35.50 and have used it successfully for several hours brazing 1.5mm stainless steel plate. It was the SEAAN MAPP Propane Torch Multi Purpose Trigger Start Propane Torch with 3 Nozzles/Tips. It seems like a good buy. 🙂 Still...

Well I've never seen anything quite like though that doesn't mean too much. (hope this is the right thread for this sort of thing. Mod please change if necessary). Just moved into a fresh house (and that's a story of catastrophe if ever there was one but that's for another day) and in the...

I agree with @nickds1 though the op said he's using bluetooth for streaming. Yes try turning bluetooth off on L2, send audio to L2's speakers or connect to something via the 3.5mm jack and see if the monitor still presents the same issue. If it does then it's not a bluetooth issue and we'll...
