I bought a cheap Chinese power washer, 3600psi. It's actually performing quite well. I've attached a passage from the manual which recommends the first oil change after 20 hours running. I'm in or about that now however I've never heard of flushing with kerosene before, is that a thing?

The paint on this old house is terrible. I paid two guys about 3 yrs ago to paint it but it has deteriorated badly. I think it needs sanded back to the cement, sealed, primed and painted to make a proper job of it. As they say, if you want something done right, do it your self. So that's what...

I think sugar **** was getting a bit greedy.

Just surfing around and found this item, for the life of me I can't see any advantage to having it.

I'm disappointed. Not one April fool thread or were they so subtle, or me too thick to notice?

Since my retirement, I am not producing enough waste to feed my wood burning stove. I am considering replacing it with a Rayburn or similar oil burner. I need to produce hot water for the tap and 10 radiators. I've heard conflicting reports about what can and can't be done with them and some...

I've had my printer for a little while now and very impressed with it and myself.:) There's one niggle, when I design something say 220mm long. export it as .stl, slice it, print it, and measure it. It will be a few mm short. Is there a handy fix, Or will experience show me how much to increase...

One of my ongoing part time projects is ventilating this old house. I have an almost adequate system at present, but recently acquired two 24v centrifugal fans. They have four wires 1 pos 1 neg 1 input for speed control and 1 output for a tachometer if desired. May be I've got it wrong? So...

I don't get into metal work much, but I need to modify my cooker hood. As per attached pics I need to make an opening to facilitate the recirculation gubbins. It's less than a mm thick. It would be handy if I could use my router with a metal cutting bit, or is there a better way?

Not infallible then.

I'm hoping you guys can help me out, again. I am obsessed presently with lowering the RH and Co2 levels in my home. I've posted previously but I'll repeat the details for those who didn't see previous threads. My house was built in or about 1935 so you'll have an idea how thermally efficient...

Apparently this is coming to my local on Monday. There is a part of my workshop a little darker than the rest would this help, do you think? What does it mean by sensor? https://www.lidl-ni.co.uk/p/3m-light-strip-with-sensor-led/p10002142

We've had a few very informative threads regarding humidity, condensation etc but I don't recall any about Co2. I bought this old house about 5 years ago, installed double glazing etc,etc no more draughty sash windows, new PVC back door no more draughty doors. But considering it was built in...

I been having problems with the structural integrity of one of my collection bins. Today I came into possession of a new green wheelie bin with the intention of using it as a super collector. I'm quite disappointed to see how flimsy it is and now I'm wondering if it's up to the job. Has...

I dropped the lid from my peanut butter today and it landed on the floor peanut butter side up. Never before reported in the history of the world.

Coming on 21st Aug. https://www.lidl-ni.co.uk/p/parkside-you-got-this/parkside-surface-planer/p69426 I'm thinking about getting one of these, not for work just for playing around with for hobby etc. Any Parkside tools I've previously had were more than good value FOR THE MONEY. The ad...
