  • How can I make a sofa from pallets

    I’m considering making a pallet sofa. How can I make sure that pallets are safe and fit for this purpose? Should I apply anything to them before making the pallet sofa? Also would the pallet sofa last long, do you think? Thanks for your time.

    Some channels intermittently disappear on my Sky Box even though I am fully subscribed to the Sky package. Do you know why this could be happening? Is it related to Sky or more likely to do with my satellite dish? If the latter is the case, what should I do about this? How can it be fixed?
