    Can anyone recommend me a good home bench? I've had terrible luck so far: - 2 x Mirafit M3 benches = both arrived faulty. Seat holes in the wrong place - 1 x Bodymax bench = also arrived faulty About to give up. Looking to spend £350 max on the bench

    Thank you. Final question from me: I will need to get a 90cm wide M3 rack, to fit the stabiliser bar (thats fine, I have the space) But what height do I get? Height of my ceiling = 236cm My height = 5 foot 10 (178cm) I am thinking of getting the 208cm height M3.. is this OK?

    Thanks. I don't plan on bolting down, which means the M3 rack might be out of the equation (does bolting matter?). The M200 rack doesn't say I have to bolt that down Whats better about that bulldog bench compared to the M3?

    Thanks, this is the sort of stuff I was after that I felt I was missing :cry: I have space for the full rack, only thing is I am one person and don't really have anyone to help - can it be assembled by one person?

    The nervous wait to exchange....

    What's the normal "response time" for your solicitors to look at enquiries? I'm a first time buyer, so I have zero context Quite often with mine, I chase things, and they say "we received all the responses from the seller's solicitor last Tuesday, we will try looking at them later this week"...

    How many different "broadband" providers are there really?

    Reason I ask is, Virgin Media is not available at my address, and when I try a couple others (e.g BT, Vodafone, EE, etc).. they all give me approximately the same estimated speed (36mbps, not great, but still tolerable) I think this is because all of these other providers are on "openreach"...

    New House - Confused about video doorbell installation!

    If the existing circuit is not powered correctly, does this involve adding a transformer to the circuit box? (which is okay, I don't mind this since its out of the way) It's confusing because on that link there's a product called "Video Doorbell Wired with Plug-In Adapter"...which is what put...

    Because there is no mains plug anywhere near the front door I ideally want something that gets 'powered' using the pre-existing doorbell wiring that's already there
