Reply to Levelling a yard with sand and bricks by Acrobatic-Studio-298

When it comes to laying brick. Make sure that the sand is compacted with a mechanical tamper. Make a border with cement and bricks laid into them to keep the sand somewhat in. After you lay your brick I have seen a mixture of something of 3 sands to 1 cement mix to fill in the voids, broom it in powder mist it wet..top seal everything and you should be good.

Could be, but I find it strange that the machine then starts in the first place. Like, in the washers I know the door switch is (simply put) the second thing in the line with the first being the Power On/off switch.

So the machine shouldnt even drain/fill/heat if the latch was at fault. Which also makes sense because it prevents the kind of energy waste OP is experiencing.

I cut some wetex sponge to size and put it in the contact points of our sons bed. Sorted! It’s thin dense dish/ utility sponge if you’re not familiar

Reply to comment by Reyway in How do I resolve a ceiling fan and light fixture that are controlled by same switches. by Madams135

Not sure why i am getting down voted. If the lights aren't wired parallel, the lights after the first one won't get the required voltage to operate optimally.

The split will probably be closer to the lights which would make re-doing the wiring difficult since your would need to run wires to the split for the switch.

I would like an explanation why someone would think this information is wrong?
