    Overwhelmed by birds.. Cheap balls?

    You can crush/grate the fatballs and spread them around the grass / ground. They horde will still decend on the the garden, but it will slow them down a bit. They'll also have a rummage for insects while they are at it. I made wire mesh cages to go around various feeders to allow smaller birds...

    Geronimo the alpaca killed as legal row ends

    Not true, every farmer I know has an emotional attachment to their herd. The hardest of farmers still have favorites and "pets" that their children helped to raise. Even more so with dairy herds where the farmer will probably have helped deliver many of them. They are not just a source of income.

    TV corner wall mount into masonry

    Do not start chasing out the mortar. Leave it alone, it's doing important work:) Use mini trucking along the skirting to the corner and then up to the TV. You'll find something suitable on Screwfix https://www.screwfix.com/c/electrical-lighting/cable-management/cat1150038

    TV corner wall mount into masonry

    Go into the brick, mortar is not suitable for taking a load. You can get a hammer drill for £25 from screwfix. Well worth having one.

    Looks nice. You should be able to repair that chip handy enough. I'd love an air rifle for plinking in the back garden, but all air rifles are licensed the same as rimfires over here. So no shooting from the kitchen table :).

    Garden trellis - screws or adhesive?

    Standard red plugs will be fine. I prefer to mount treated roofing battens vertically to the wall with plugs & screws. I can then screw the trellis to the battens.Drill pilot holes in the trellis to avoid splitting. This method makes it easier to adjust the trellis if it's not level or has...

    How can I add a new light and switch to an existing circuit?

    Not sure which diagrams you are referring to. Link as an example. Fig 1 shows the circuit schematic, Fig 2 shows how it's wired (including cable colour, switch terminals etc) http://www.lightwiring.co.uk/two-way-switching-3-wire-system-new-harmonised-cable-colours/ If you can't follow those...

    How can I add a new light and switch to an existing circuit?

    First you'll need to take all the switch face plates / ceiling rose off to see how the lighting circuit has been wired. Once you understand that you can decide on the best way to modify it. This site has all the information you'll need http://www.lightwiring.co.uk . As always, if you are anyway...

    How to supply feed to USB module from 240v ring main/lighting circuit?

    I know this job isn't notifiable, but it would make sense to ask a qualified electrician. Screwfix have a decent forum that I have used in the past.

    grippy rubber pads

    That's a shame. I think the furniture pads rely on there being a decent amount of weight to get friction.

    MSI X570 Tomahawk WiFi Bios Flash button, how to tell if it's worked?

    If you are unsure, just try it again. There are a few good guides for this on Youtube. Clear CMOS (may not be needed on a new board), plug your USB drive into the correct BIOS update USB port, press button. led starts flashing and you wait for the system to restart. I think mine took about 4...

    grippy rubber pads

    Have you tried roughing up the bottom of the pads with coarse sandpaper? It might take the slippy surface off and provide extra grip.

    New Star Trek series - 2017

    I couldn't make it through S03E01. I don't know if it's the actor or just the Burnham character, but I can't watch them anymore. I find myself cringing constantly.

    Re-handling that will be an easy project. Nice bit of scrap hardwood out of the firewood pile and a few of coats of Tung oil is all you need.
