    Heating a workshop

    I'm far from an expert in heat pumps, but my understanding is that, as you say, in certain circumstances, it can 'produce' between 2 - 5 times more heat than you would have gotten using direct electric. In other circumstances it can 'produce' 1.1 times or less the heat than you would have...

    Barbeque table

    Thanks. That's pretty close to what I have planned in my head only 2440 by 1220 top, frame from 75 by 38 75 by 75 legs and single 75 by 35 rail to brace the legs instead of the shelf he has under.

    Barbeque table

    I've been asked by a customer to make a long folding table for use at barbeques. He wants to be able to fold it away and store against a wall when not in use. He suggested making from two 8 by 4 sheets of plywood. I have no experience making tables and would appreciate any tips how to make it...

    Does 20 sheets of MDF qualify for a wholesale order?

    Many moons ago when I was starting out, I contacted the manufacturer to try to negotiate a advantageous price. Every time I called, "He wasn't in the office" So I recalled a tip I read somewhere that the best time to get the boss was during lunch hour, as everyone else was out. I phoned at...

    Connection problems

    Found out that FTTP has arrived on this road. So in 8 days time I should be humming along at 36 mbps. There's up to 1gbps available but don't reckon I need that much. There's a cynical side of me wondering if asdl speed plummet and availability of fibre is just coincidence.

    Connection problems

    Thanks, that's good info. 3 signal around here is bad, any 4g signal is bad, but I've heard, it's possible to use 4g with an outside antenna which might work. How many bars on your phone inside?

    Connection problems

    I'm on EE. It's never good but mostly in the 6-7-8 mbps range. Last couple of weeks it's been awful. They have said if they can't fix it I can leave without penalty. But would it do any good, no matter what company I go to, they all use the same wires. Looking at 4g and satellite but everything...

    Whole house water filter

    Water quality is quite bad, sometimes downright disgusting, so I've decided to invest in filtration. As is usual with something I have no previous experience with, the internet is awash with info. So probably best to start here and ask for some first hand experiences.

    Drying (a lot of) firewood

    It's been a long time since I split logs with an axe. As a boy, one of my after school chores was to provide the firewood for our house, from a pile of tree branches 6,8,10 ft long and up to 12 inches thick, but mostly 6 inches or less. They sat out in all weathers and all but the ones in...

    Well spotted. I can see that now I'm on the PC. Just makes it more intriguing.

    Dodged a bullet———almost

    Yes there's no casing, but it may never have been loaded. It looks like a .303/7.62 but it's impossible to tell from the photo. How much does it weigh?. It doesn't take much to slightly deform a bullet that's been fired

    Dodged a bullet———almost

    Bit of a mystery as it doesn't look like it's been fired.

    Getting from the car to work

    What Richard said. Unless you are in real bad physical condition, a brisk half mile walk twice each day will do you good. In 12 months you could be twelve pounds lighter.
