This is a very successful group with loads of good advice. However, because it is so popular, a thread is 'dead and buried' far down the list within a couple of days very often leaving questions unanswered.
Not sure how it is done, but may I suggest splitting this group into some new groups: uk.d-i-y.building uk.d-i-y.electrical uk.d-i-y.plumbing uk.d-i-y.carpentry uk.d-i-y.misc (uk.d-i-y.tools+appliances)
