I want to darken the new shiny galvanised grids on some linear drains.
Anyone know of any reasonably permanent treatment that can be applied.
I do not want to "paint" them if possible.

The earlier post about wet-rooms got me thinking. I've always liked the
idea, and I reckon that when time and money roll round for a bathroom
refurb in the next few years it's probably the direction I'd like to go
in. Trouble is, my bathroom is long and thin with the door at one end
and the window at the other. The only realistic place to put the shower
area in such a design is across the window end.

How much of a problem is having a window in the shower area likely to
be? Part of the appeal for me is having everything properly waterproof,
such that there are no worries about places where water mustn't go and
if I wanted to I could dance about dementedly with a hose with impunity
(ok, there is a slight exception for the door). Presumably a tile
windowsill with a slight fall into the room for drainage would be
needed. At present the window frame itself is a timber double-glazed
unit; is it likely to be possible to protect this sufficiently, or
should I be looking at replacement? One front window in (eg) white uPVC
would look very odd next to the other dark-brown-painted timber ones, so
is there likely to be a similar-looking internally-waterproof alternative?

After a little accident (ahem) with the lawn mower, we need a new
flex. Can someome tell me which of the offerings on the Screwfix
website would be most suitable?

I don't have the mower to hand, but it's a fairly lightweight roatary,
nothing high-powered. Screwfix doesn't say what they're rated for, and
I've no idea how to measure the existing flex. I'm guessing 0.75mm
would be too thin, but would I get away with 1.0mm?

I just happened upon a product called Accoya. Seems to be (basically) a
way of preserving timber by treating it with acetic anhydride. (Yes -
noticed on the Grand Designs Live site.)

Must say, the claims are quite impressive. E.g. potential 50+ year life
as a window frame. Set me thinking, would it be possible to do anything
like this myself? I doubt I'd want to be dealing with acetic anhydride
(and re-drying it after use might not be easy) - so any ideas? I guess
blagging some non-brewed condiment from the chippy and soaking some wood
in that isn't likely to be sufficient.

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.

I just laid a very small patch of block paving in our garden. The ground
is very heavy clay.

Where I have not quite finished tidying up beside the paving, some sand
and clay has ended up a mess. (Yes - I shall be tidying up tomorrow or
the next day!) But when I was looking today I saw loads of bees busying
themselves. It appears that something is attracting them. But, much as I
appreciate bees, I don't want them building a nest/hive/whatever just
outside my front door.

Do I need to worry? Or will they just have a look around and then wander
off?

Original Grand Designs, interesting show, some nice ideas, Kev's a bit
of a berk but has made the programme his own and it works well.

Enter Grand Designs Live, bolting together a factory prefab while a mass
studio audience cheer pointlessly at recorded clips and fools spend
money to vote for 'the best'.

Given the timescale of real building or refurb is this really the
subject matter that needs the urgency of a LIVE programme?
