Hi, Hoping to get a bit of advice of a Beko Freezer. Mother in law appaears to have left the door open on the freezer all night, the missus called me up in a panic saying it was making a noise and all the food has defrosted. When I got home I had a look at it but nothing obvious. Sound is...

Hi all, Looking for a bit of feedback on 2 B'Q products please. Im about to start trying to renovate the stair case in my house, changing all the stair components ok except for the stringers and newel posts which I cant change easily. Whilst looking for something non related I noticed...

Mmmm, thanks. Was thinking along those lines, but wasnt sure about the latest regs. Oh well, just toying with the idea anyway. Thanks for that.

Thanks for the prompt reply. So I am right in what I said then? If used basically as a PIR, just live feed from lighting circuit.

Hi there, This probably sounds like a really dumb question, but just wanted to run this past someone with a bit more knowledge... I've had a PIR Half Lantern knocking around down the shed for ages and now Im renovating the hallway I thought it would be an ideal opportunity to install the...

but do I deposit all the poo from all their cats, back into their garden, well not so far I haven't and there has been plenty of that. I do, sick of all the sodding cats in my area using my Garden as a toilet. Got cats both immediate sides and 2-3 doors either way as well. When I see it I...
