    Upgrade from 1300d

    Not really, use a 24-105 L lens most of the time with great results. Only time I saw an issue was when shooting in bc a cave and flash threw a strange shadow across image - can only put it down to length of lens. Touch screen is good and plenty of features, took a little getting used to but...

    Upgrade from 1300d

    I have an M50, very pleased with it and use an adapter in order to utilise my EFS lenses. Sadly, the feature I like most is the Bluetooth connection!! Very lightweight body, but not many native lenses available so you’ll need the adapter.

    Wireless room stat

    Receiver will usually replace programmer. You can then link out the existing stat and use a new wireless one remotely. Hive works well and is expandable to include lights, sensors, cameras etc.

    Smart light switches

    I use Hive. Very easy to set up and expandable to multi different products. Works well with Alexa too. Can easily set up different programmes/rules or connect sensors.

    What is the job role and why do you think they aren't capable just because they are autistic?

    Toilet advice needed - siphon vs valve, lever vs button

    You can easily tell if a flush valve needs a replacement washer as you'll see the water running into the bowl. Get a good quality 2 part flush valve that can be removed with the cistern in place.

    NSFW The TP limerick thread

    There was a young lady from Ealing Who had a peculiar feeling. She lay on her back, played with her crack, and come all over the ceiling!

    Which rawplug?

    Works well, except for hidden pipes etc. but if you look out for pipe runs etc a bit of common sense can help you work it out.

    Which rawplug?

    Unfortunately your miles away from me, but I use a Bosch detector, I can switch between studs, metal and electrical and it will pin point the centres for me. Like all things it's not completely fool proof but makes it a lot easier!

    Which rawplug?

    Noggins are the studs within the wall. When you have examples (and possibly pics) of items you want to hang and where then feel free to shout for specific advice. Where abouts is the house anyways as if it's local I could lend a stud finder.

    Which rawplug?

    It will be plasterboard walls then. Pictures will hang with just a small nail (as long as they aren't too heavy). Most other things will be best with the screw in plasterboard fixings as they spread the load - just don't over tighten them. Really heavy items such as book shelves etc your best...
