    Does a Metal garage roof increase the temperature in the summer?

    For such a small garage roof with low pitch you could swap it for an insulated timber deck and cover with high performance felt.

    VPN's

    I have experience with a few. Express VPN is excellent with great speed. But you do pay for what you get. Bitdefender VPN is my current excellent VPN. It just works. Nord VPN I used for 6 months in a paid service was horrendous. I can't express how poorly that service was. If you take no...

    AI chair?

    There probably is a website that can generate ai drawings from what you asked. You need to go deeper into the rabbit hole and find it. One thing to remember with chatgpt and all the spinoffs that exist. Don't forget to refine your answer. 'Keep asking new refining questions of the answer given'...

    Homebuying advice - cracked walls

    Those cracks don't indicate an immediate major problem, but clearly there is active movement. Understanding that is key. If the property or the neighbours' property has had recent (in the last 5 years) extensions and conversations then that is where I'd start my line of questioning. It's very...

    Another bloody damp Problem Bay Window...

    Couple of comments from the photos you have provided? That air brick/vent. What is its purpose? As the wall is solid with no cavity the only real purpose maybe to vent the ground floor void. (confirm?) But it looks high and possibly behind the radiator that is there? Investigate that vent and...

    Staining my project with wire wool

    So I've been putting a few coats of shellac and then finishing with a hard wax paste put on with 0000 wire wool. The finish is incredibly smooth and lovely to the touch but I'm noticing my birch ply for instance is stained a little by the process. It seems to darken the grain/pores. Is this...
