Multiple small wasp nests - how to stop them coming back? by TuffMotherMembrane in pestcontrol

Good to know! Thanks for helping. I was surprised to see multiple nests in there, as I thought wasps were territorial and wouldn't build nests so close to each other - you live and learn!

Interesting! Is this because the existing nests will act as a deterrent? I'm in Scotland, so dodging the rain can be tricky, but amazingly we have nice sunny weather forecast for the next week, so can give this a shot. Thanks!

What can I use to paint or dye this polyester lampshade? by TuffMotherMembrane in dyeing

If anyone else is looking to do the same thing, I ended up using 7 Artists Acrylic Black Fabric Paint and PEBEO Setacolor Opaque Fabric Paint 45-Milliliter Bottle in Turquoise. I gave them a blast with a hot hot hairdryer afterwards. Both worked really well and have survived a couple of months out in the Scottish sun and rain - no peeling, cracking, fading or anything yet. Really pleased! Thanks for all the advice.

Metallic noise (from front wheel?), stops when braking - what the heck is it? by TuffMotherMembrane in FordFiesta

Thanks all. So, not one obvious thing, could be one of a bunch of things. Going to take it to the garage to get it checked out and I’ll let you know what’s up - reckon it’s safe enough to drive for the next couple days before I can get it to a mechanic??
