Curtain rod hanging
Hi all, I have a problem hanging some curtains as there is no stud above the window frame and there is already a blind hung on the frame itself.
I could possibly hang it from the ceiling in one room if the boss agrees but the other room has high ceilings.
Any suggestions?

Antique window mechanism repair.
Hi there. I have this window mechanism to repair. I was thinking I should remove the whole window and remove the mechanism to fit some sort of new pivot point on this part as the old one has sheared off.
I've never worked on a window like this before and so far I am not sure what kind of part I could source to act as the pivot point/axle that would be suitable and last.
Any ideas?

Mortar guns - worth it?
We've got a shitload of wall to repoint on removing the old paint, and I'm pondering a mortar gun. Anyone used one? Worth it, or more hassle than they're worth?

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-07-04/retrofitting-australian-homes-for-winter-to-cut-costs-emissions/104044086Australian homes are notoriously cold in winter — draughty, with poor insulation, thin glass and inadequate heating. But there's a growing movement of people retrofitting their homes to make them cheaper to run and more comfortable year-round, while also reducing emissions.
