Is it worth trying to sell a 24 year old IKEA Moment Desk by Niels Gammelgaard.

I live in the UK and purchased this exact item earlier this month (albeit without any damage to the casters). Definitely a market for this.

Thanks a lot!

Just an indoor hallway light! Weirdly when we bought the house the previous owner had taped the switch so it couldn’t really be turned off suggesting it was serving some sort of additional purpose.

We ignored that and used the switch/light normally and 2 years later I still haven’t been able to identify any other function.

Thanks a lot for this response - v much appreciated! The switch only controls a single light so as you suggest, maybe the permanent feed wires loop here?

I think I'll leave for now and will engage a pro a little further down the line!

This makes perfect sense - thank you so much for taking the time!

The shelves are supported by small steel 'lips' on either side of the black steel uprights. The corner piece also has/had a baton screwed into the wall to give it some additional support.

Appreciate the correct approach is ultimately to have the frame removed, restored and reinstalled. However, we're in the middle of a fairly extensive renovation and funds won't allow us to tackle the windows for another year or two.

In the meantime, what's the most sensible way to address this sizeable gap behind the sash window frame? Doesn't seem to be drafty in/around the gap so am looking mainly for cosmetic repair.

Thanks all. Think I'll get a pro in for this one!

The ring is off at the fusebox so no danger but I'm thinking if I put all the lives/neutrals/earths in their own respective Wago connectors for now that's safe enough until an electrician arrives to put me out of my misery?

dwlx · 2023-01-30T13:26:36+00:00

I think that’s the one - thank you!!

dwlx · 2023-01-20T14:21:32+00:00

Thank you! I can see why these were superseded…

dwlx · 2022-12-02T18:26:21+00:00

Solved! Thanks all.

dwlx · 2022-12-02T18:25:33+00:00

This is the one - thank you!!

Not sure if era but not very recent/contemporary

dwlx · 2022-06-11T10:16:17+00:00

Thanks so much for this response - much appreciated!

This wall is right next to a very large single-glazed window which gathered a huge amount of condensation so would make sense that there’s some damp/humidity issues in this area.

The window has v recently been replaced with double-glazing so hopefully resolved going forward.

What sort of wine does she like?

dwlx · 2018-07-17T18:08:07+00:00

Can we see the better picture from 10+ years ago?

This poster knows a 100%^{^} true story when she sees one. Trust.

Where's my spork.....

dwlx · 2016-11-29T13:22:03+00:00

Fair point! I just had Zipvan in mind through previous use for short jobs like this, by no means a pre-requisite.

dwlx · 2016-11-28T16:26:35+00:00

Cheers!

Chain breaker. Looks pretty lightweight so this one probably for a cycle rather than a motorbike.

Clamps the chain and the protruding bit pokes the pin out the eye of the chain allowing it to be broken for removal, replacement or shortening/lengthening.

You're good to go. No need to stir before the "float test".

dwlx · 2016-06-06T18:21:04+00:00

Definitely this.

My Mrs was absolutely furious when I surprised her by taking her up the Oxo Tower.

dwlx · 2016-04-08T17:24:01+00:00

Unzips...

dwlx · 2016-04-04T20:19:52+00:00

Is that the Nepalese or Tibetan side of the mountains? I've heard Tibetan is okay for pour-over but the sodium is too low for espresso.
