A garage on wheels?
Thu, 26 Jun 2008 17:39:49 +0100
Just thinking aloud, really. My little Morris Minor needs wrapping up
safely during the winter, and spent last winter on a trailer, with
everything wrapped up neatly in a (plastic) tarpaulin. That worked
well, but does not really allow for occasional winter use. Unwrapping
and rewrapping is a fairly major ...

LED bulbs

there :-) Are the LED bulbs currently on sale any good for real world use,
and if so does anyone have any suggestiosn for good places to buy?
Thanks i ...

Electrical Oven - Temperature
Thu, 26 Jun 2008 17:28:44 +0100
If you set an electric oven to say 100 degree C on the control - what
sort of swing would you expect between max and min temps in oven as
thermostat switched in and out. What sort of temperature would you
expect it to switch at - as I assume there is a "hysterisis" type
lag.
Are they typically plus or m ...

Puddling on fibreglass flat roof.
Thu, 26 Jun 2008 06:49:43 -0700 (PDT)
Just over a year ago we had the flat roof on our garage replaced with
a fibreglass one. The timbers were put down by the builder, and an
independent roofing company came along to complete the (very smelly)
task.
Unfortunately I don't think the builder made a very good job of laying
the decking, because we have ...

Oversized Posi drill bits?
Thu, 26 Jun 2008 04:37:28 -0700 (PDT)
I've always seen Posi 1, 2 & 3 bits at Wickes/B&Q etc, but never any
Pozi 4. Do they exist?
I only ask because, having shredded another of those Rawlplug screw in
frame fixings, I'd like to find one. You know, the 100mm long, 10mm
dia mediumweight ones that clearly have a head suited to something
larger than ...

Rat-proof cat food dispenser?
Thu, 26 Jun 2008 04:16:56 -0700 (PDT)
Our little cat (bless her!) has exterminated the local mouse
population and has now turned to rats. She brings them in regularly
but can't keep up with them to kill them, so they end up running
around the house. We thought we'd managed to kill them all as they
came in, but unfortunately they've established a col ...

OK to mix-and-match push-fit fittings?
Thu, 26 Jun 2008 04:04:27 -0700 (PDT)
Are push-fit fittings interchangeable across different brands of PEX
pipe in practice? I know each manufacturer wants you to buy their
fittings and pipe but, for some items, Screwfix/Toolstation only have
one brand. Is there any reason not to mix-and-match?

porous bricks
Thu, 26 Jun 2008 12:00:29 +0100
I wrote a while ago about problems with damp coming into the house where
the new extension is. I've had a good look and can't see anything wrong
so I got a builder in. I thought he's going to be expensive but he said
it's basically down to porous bricks. The wall is battered by the
prevailing south-westerly an ...
