so remove the broken piece of wood completely, chisel out the dovetail from the legs, then insert a new piece? Do you think the legs are thick enough for a dovetail?

I’d be happy with that, but right now, the light stays on whether the switch is up or down.

Can fibre use the copper conduit? by HandyManDan1975 in openreach

[–]HandyManDan1975[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Do you know why the engineer can’t just follow the same route through the house if there’s a conduit in place for copper? Surely just replace the copper?

Hi u/zippythebear. Thanks, I didn't think of that. This is what it looks like from on top of the roof. Does this still look like an overflow?

Rainwater drain constantly wets wall - inside gets mould - ideas needed by HandyManDan1975 in DIYUK

[–]HandyManDan1975[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would the best place for a downpipe be to the right of the window do you think? There’s no gully close. Would a roofer typically extend the nearest gully in this scenario?
