  • Can I use a 300mA mains adaptor with a 700mA cd player?

    I have a portable CD player - the mains adaptor sockets says DC 9V 700mA. Is it ok/safe to use a 9V 300mA mains adaptor? Or a 9V 1200mA one?

    I don't understand what difference the current makes.

  • Lean to shed - damp proof between shed and wall?

    I am building a lean-to wooden shed against my kitchen wall (the existing wall will form the back wall of the shed). When I attach the wooden battens to the wall, should i do anything to damp-proof eg a layer of waterproof membrane between the wall and wood?

    Wall is rendered and painted if that makes any difference.

  • Plant suggestions for 2-3 foot hedge?

    We want to plant a low (2-3 foot) hedge around our patio. The patio is raised about a foot from the rest of the garden - the hedge would be planted at the lower level so would need to be a foot high before even showing above the patio. We're torn between box and privet - box seems too low (it would take years to grow above the start of the patio), while privet seems too high.
