2. Investigating the HDMI "Green Screen After a Few Seconds" Problem
  
  I convinced myself that it was a timing issue caused by component ageing as, in my case the problem first showed up some years ago with a Sony Bravia TV, and got progressively worse over some months. When the Bravia was replaced by a Panasonic, the green screen went away. However, some years...

  It's been fine for years and it seems to be only Enterprise that has this problem. The ads are not significantly louder than normal sound levels on other programs.

  It is now much worse- the program volume is permanently low so that when the ads cut in my teeth rattle!

  Reminds me of a time when I removed my front door for repair and repaint. As a temporary replacement, I cobbled together two redundant narrower internal hollow doors.I can still see the postman's expression and hear his language when he tried to deliver a letter and ended up holding on to half a...

  I did not mean to imply that the type of wall decides the type of frame, I was simply commenting on possible reasons for the choice. I would agree that office standards are different to domestic and would certainly require heavier gauge materials . Older properties invariably used fabricated...

  I have also noted that doors set into partition walls tend to be lightweight - hollow frames covered with hardboard pressing - so the frame does not need to be as rigid.

  But the moulding is much stronger and less sensitive to twist, due to it's greater cross section.

12. Changing Direction Internal Doors Open
  
  Out of interest, I looked at the doors in another house, and noticed that all the frames that were fitted into brick walls (one brick and rendering ~5 inches thick) were single mouldings like mine, whereas frames fitted into partition walls (stud and plasterboard~2.5-3 inch thick) were two...

  My house is 50 odd years old. I replaced one frame a few years ago and got the new frame as a kit (two sides, the top and the finishing mouldings), off the shelf at the local timber yard.
