Blink Doorbell Advice
I have bought the Blink video doorbell with sync module 2 to install at my Mum's house as a security measure. She does not use internet or phone apps apart from Whatsapp, so my thoughts were to have this installed so I can see who is at her door and also to alert me if she does not answer the door to visitors. I bought…

Tiling Advice - Good or Bad Job
Hello Any tilers on this forum who can advise on the finish of this shower that I've had recently tiled. I asked why trim wasn't put in the top of the pattern but was told it's because a decorator would normally put calking on there to finish it off but then when I pressed and insisted on a trim he said it would not be…

Gas strut for Ottoman bed has fallen off, won't go back on
Hello, I saw a similar post to this on this forum so thought someone might help. One of the two gas struts for my Ottoman bed has fallen off (and the two nuts that attach it) and it won't go back on. As odd as it sounds, it seems to have become slightly too long for the space it is meant to go in. My landlord suggested…

Shower tray went bang!
Partner was in the shower today and there was a loud bang - I thought he’d dropped something but no. There is now a large crack in the shower tray which goes outside of the slidey door enclosure and lets water out. Of course we stopped using it immediately. It appears we need a whole new quadrant enclosure as the doors and…

Use Laptop On TV
Hi I am a member of a few apps which are linked to YouTube channels which I can view on my big smart TV screen, but as far as I know I can only watch the bonus footage on my laptop or mobile.

How can I unblock washing machine drain pipe?
Just to be clear, I don't mean the drain pump and I don't mean the drainage hose that are parts of the machine itself. I'm talking about the vertical white plastic waste pipe attached to the kitchen wall and which the machine's drainage hose empties into. The machine itself is draining perfectly well. This has happened…

To claim or not to claim for subsidence?
Our deep drains in our garden need digging up to repair. This would cost us 4.5k but there's a chance we could claim subsidence caused this following large excavation work being done next door a few yeard ago.

Drilling above interior doorway?
Hi everyone! I've been putting up floating shelves for book display on both sides of our fireplace. My plan is to put one more long shelf all the way across the doorway (see blue line in first photo). I think it'll look nice filled with books and will balance out the other side, where I've already put a shelf at that…

Glasses, frame repair broken in the middle, above nose
I got my glasses about 5/6 years ago. Not only did the frame cost me what I felt was a large amount of money but IMO they not only suit me but I feel very comfortable in them. They are heavy, men's glasses. With steel arms I've dropped them the other day and they broke its about the 12th time I had them above my head…
