I would like to thank everyone for their advice, I won't be using the moisture resistant MDF. Since the plaster board and plywood boards are the same thickness 9mm, I can easily get 9mm external plywood class 3, I will use this to make up the floor and repair the plaster board wall. I would have...

Thank you for your response, not wishing to dismiss your opinion, the speciation for moisture resistant MDF states "MDF is also used for panelling and cladding purposes within a building, due to the ease with which it can be carved into different shapes and decorated. Things like architectural...

Hello I'm putting in a new bathroom. After removing the plastic cladding, in some areas the plaster board has disinterested so needs patching. Also I have an area of floor where the bath was, that needs levelling up to match the plywood that has been laid for ceramic tiles. Both these area's at...

Very interesting reply's. As like you I suspected a loose charging socket, after stripping the laptop down to the motherboard I found that the charging socket was sound, no brake in the solder joint or loose pins. But I find the PSU shut down theory very interesting. I will connect the PSU leads...

Hi I have problem with my Asus laptop charging. After plugging in the power supply the only way to get the charging light to stay on was to move the wires going into the power supply plug. When the light did stay on, the laptop would fully charge. I assumed I had a broken wire in the charging...

Can you have too many PIR sensors? I live in a 3 bedroom bungalow every room has PIR sensor's except the bathroom. While on holiday recently the alarm went off, no attempted break in. My neighbours were not at all happy, 20 minutes is still a long time be annoyed for no reason. The panel showed...

Thank you Lucid, spot on with your diagnosis. I did find some leaking and domed caps, new ones on order. Hardest part was stripping the TV, I didn't realise they were using adhesive for the display on that age of set. Thanks again

I need to varnish some stripped pine doors. I have a lot of surplus water based varnish, which is satin finish. The existing doors in the house have been varnished with a matt finish polyurethane varnish. Can I use the surplus water based varnish for the first coats, then finish with the last...

Thank you very much, that is an amazing answer, such a detailed description. This is of great help, has given me a good idea of what I'm looking for. And a interesting history of these sets

Thank you for your quick reply, yes I agree I just gave a description from the retailer. Yes it would have to add other parts, tuner etc.

I have a Logic TV, which is apparently a converted computer monitor with speakers added by the manufacturer to sell it as a TV. When I first switch on the set there is sound but no picture, after switching the set off and on again I get a picture, the set works as normal after that. Any help...

After putting down wasps nest killer the activity around the wasps roof entrance has stopped. Thank you everyone for your help and suggestions

I did take some pictures but file size was too big, I will post some low resolution pictures shortly.

Hi all Noticed a lot of wasps flying around the corner of my roof, after talking a closer look I could see that they were entering my roof through badly fitted roof tiles. As a professional myself, not in the building trade, it must make the genuine builders like yourselfs furious to see this...
