It’s a short walk to the front door from my workshop and being semi-disabled takes me a minute or so to get there. What I want is a means of seeing who is at the door and to speak to them. I have an android tablet and a PC running Ubuntu. I’ve spent hours trying to find the right weatherproof...

Anyone had experience of fitting one? I want something that gives me a view on my tablet and/or computer. Also with two way audio. I've been round and round with all the makes and options until my head hurts and I still can't make up my mind what's best to buy. Any help appreciated.

I've been delegated to make a sand pit for grandchild. What’s the best sand to use? Thanks. Roger

Found in job lot of tools. It's brass, screwed top and filled with wadding.

I stripped down an old hard drive to recover the magnet. The magnet remains bonded to a 3mm thick piece of the original HD metal framing . The face of the magnet has extremely strong magnetic force (as you'd expect) BUT the rear of the 3mm thick metal the magnet is fixed to has almost no...

The ones in the yellow area. Particularly the 1.6 with the triangle? This is part of a construction sheet. Measurements are metric. Thanks.

Not quite finished but been keeping me busy :

I'm getting fed up with getting catalogues and leaflets in the post showing prices excluding VAT. Had two just today Cromwell and ITS. We all have to pay the VAT whether we can claim it back or not and invoices show the VAT element anyway. They think it makes their prices look good - but only...

My rather free interpretation. Needs a bit a of tidying yet and some paint (maybe).
