If you move the door slowly and completely to the other position does it unwind the cable enough to take out the misalignment ? Can you post a video?

Obtain a usb WiFi dongle for not much money and use it to get online, disabling the internal network card Does the problem remain (it's not your laptop) or go away (could be your laptop)?

That's just what you're used to, which isn't authoritative "What's intumescent paint for?" "It fireproofs the things it's applied to" I don't think you'd say "fireprooves" "Gosh, there were a lot of mistakes in that movie.." "Yeah it was back to back goofs wasn't it? Can't wait for the...

In Germany it's fairly typical to have a toilet where your output is held on a shelf for you to inspect before flushing. Can be a useful diagnostic tool for various serious conditions so not exactly an horrific idea I don't have any complaints with any of my toilets, of various vintages from...

You've got someone who is committed to using as few words/punctuation as possible, asking for advice on how to make a high power capacity underground connection. Advice that they will then pass onto A N Other non-sparky to follow.. In my book, a post to avoid responding to entirely!

I think it's a lot more work than shaping something cementitious in though, as you'll want to run quite a way to avoid having to do a considerable amount of sanding to smooth out any kick in the parquet ?

Better that they come to your properly set up workshop and be under your supervision for design&technology lessons, than you lending your stuff to her (and I'm sure she will appreciate the few hours' break to get other life admin stuff done) She probably isn't the only one in the same...

Can you fashion a bracket to allow you to raise the panel so it is held in place at an angle, and park the van so it catches a reasonable amount of sun?

Grout rake and a bag of actual grout? (it's really quick; grout is typically very soft)
