does a Vacuum Time Lag Switch in reverse exist ?
|
| |
TPTB appreciates that the PestStop device we have is discouraging the local cats & foxes from wrecking our garden but its presence unsettles her. The compromise we have reached is for me to fit a button which she can push which will disable it for an hour or so at a time. I can't find such a device - does it exist? I could make something with... more »

How do I connect hot water tank to central heating?
|
| |
My tank takes 3/4" BSPM fittings, but they keep leaking (testing with air). The trouble is, the fittings don't screw all the way in, so I basically have to pack them out with loads of PTFE tape to get a seal, which I'm not happy about. Perhaps that's the way the pros bodge it? I'd prefer fittings that screw all the way in, but a suitable washer... more »

Slim 3 pin plug
|
| |
Our kitchen telly is wall mounted and the mains lead is black which is quite obtrusive running down the wall. I want to change it for a white lead, IEC 3-pin at one end and a standard 3-pin mains plug at the other.

loft conversion _without_ strengthening roof?!?
|
| |
We're about to buy a house, and _next_ _door_ the neighbour has "converted" his loft. He's a roofer, his father is a builder. I don't know them from Adam. The conversion (and the loft!) isn't very tall - it's about 6ft tall along the very middle, but move 1 ft either way and you bang your head. He's using it as his main bedroom - though he said that, if sold, the... more »

Interface from telephone to computer - options?
|
| |
I want high quality sound from the telephone for making long distance coaching calls. So I want to use a binaural headset and microphone. I could get a seperate headset like the Plantronics ones, but it seems to me that I could just link the telephone to my Mac computer and listen and record (I'd like to record too) etc from the computer,... more »
