Can you get a garden hose into the shower waste drain. Start shallow, open the hose water and then feed more and more into the waste pipe until you don't hear the drip any more. May have to shut the hose water frequently to allow the waste pipe to drain. Then pull out the hose and measure -...

Yes, some peeps just don't read proper, what, with half holes and all. Aside, not common in a woodworking shop, so Dad must have got them for a special job (like jumbo knitting needles) or just came across them at a junk sale and thought they may be handy??

Clogging in the older extinguisher was common, particularly on trucks where vibration compacted the powder. Newer extinguishers have an updated (sometimes yellow coloured) powder less likely to self-clog. Insurance companies usually require annual service which will solve the problem anyway.

HTH or pool acid.

Plenty or experience and sage advice in the responses. This may sound silly, but you indicate that this is a recent installation and noise started only after. If a stop cock has been installed with the flow counter to the direction indicated by the arrow on the stop cock, the seal inside the...

Maybe you stopped worrying about it!!😋

Some leds bulbs will not operate through a dimmer circuit. Check the packaging where, if applicable, it's specified "not suitable for dimmers"

Fibreglass resin works well. Lets the natural colour through, is sandable

Agree. Glazing putty has been around for ages and trusted. However, it does age and go brittle. A PVA silicone could work between the glass and frame, to sea

Not a very pleasant way to 'treat' wood😄

This is a joke? What a joke!

Thanks. Very interesting.

The ceiling mounted unit has a glass phial that seals the extinguishing medium in the unit. The phial needs nake flame to break it. So, although 'automatic' the fire is usually fairly advanced before the unit activates. Positioning close to the potential source of a fire is critical. These units...

Agree wholeheartedly. There is a major difference between an ordinary drill with hammer action and a rotary hammer drill.

Also, the new brushes will take a while to seat and sparking should decrease.

Just a point of interest. You mention 'some old Rhodesian teak', treasure it because there is no more 'new' Rhodesian teak. It was used for railway sleepers initially. Since converted to concrete sleepers and Rhodesian teak is no longer available except in old sleepers and parque flooring.

what roof covering do you have. Your trusses look like the type designed for tiles. If you've got e.g. metal sheeting for roofing you would have some leeway with the number of supports needed in the trusses

Try the back end of an old tooth brush. Some types work, some don't.

....or, try mounting it on a rubber mat. The drone might be going through whatever it's mounted on?
