    Induction hob fitment to replace a gas hob

    How much might it cost to install a 30 amp fuse for an induction hob? We have a spare position for this on the board which incidentally is the same one since the house was built (2000) The circuit board is in the garage which has a door leading into the kitchen.

    Got a house with plaster that's probably 50+ years old in some rooms. At what point does plaster genuinely need to come off and be replaced, versus just being skimmed over?

    How much does boiler insurance cost?

    What should I expect? But more importantly, is it even worth it? I've never owned a house before and I've had family recommend getting it, but I'm honestly not convinced

    Which side of plasterboard do you paint?

    I am sure this is so obvious to the experts here, but I want to be 100% sure. One side feels a bit shiny and the other is more fibrous, and I don’t want to get halfway through decorating only to realise I’ve used the wrong face

    Pet friendly carpet spray

    Are there any harmless products that I can spray on a carpet to deter my dog from peeing on it? He’s been toilet trained well but once in a while he just gets a bit hyper and sometimes pees on the floor and I don’t think he’s going to change. I’d like to find a product that could achieve the effect of making him not do this. Is there even a product for this? And I’d like one that’s harmless to people, my dog and the carpet.
