i am absolutely positive it is a radiator water pipe. i took the radiator off myself!

im sorry i cant post a photo - the pipe is approx 2" from the wall and sticks up about 6" with a knob on the top. i believe it has water in it. the washer is under a working surface and is next to the wall with about 3/4" sideways clearance which means it can only be removed with a gradually...

i have a radiator pipe sticking through my kitchen floor which makes the moving of the washing machine very difficult. i would like to have the pipe bent below the chipboard floor or cut back. my problem is it is embedded in a thick layer of polystyrene insulation under the chipboard and i...

does the fact that the installer creates the features mean that every wireless system has inherently the same level of security regardless of price? given that the equipment is fit for purpose of course. or do some systems utilise more up to date technology and software which enables the...

the required system comprises 3 pirs (conservatory, hall and kitchen) and possibly 2 window alarms (upstairs bedroom). a very simple system. my problem is i want it to be as safe as possible so i want the wireless system with the most effective features. i just need to understand what those...

i am now seeing the complexity of choosing a system and the importance of understanding the strengths and weaknesses inherent in each of them. i really appreciate the thought and effort of the above responses but could i ask a further favour. this is to rank the safety features you would look...

whoops

now i am really confused. i see the fors are in algeria. do they have different systems. i have heard that a car remote can activate a wireless alarm. i have heard that a person with the right equip can de activate the alarm. i have heard that batteries can run out frequently. i come back...

thanks to the helpful replies i have arrived at a satisfactory solution which not only improves security but stops the panels from rattling. i bought some 1/2" by 4" flat bar with 4 countersunk holes. i then bent one end so it was slightly greater than the gap when located at one end of the...

wireless would be more convenient but i just happened to be passing a police station so went in and asked if they had any recommendations. they put me in touch with the security section who explained the national security inspectorate test systems and recommend any which pass their tests. they...

nice one. this is great, i am now spoilt for choice my favourite saying is: attitude is contagious, is yours worth catching?

i like this idea but there is no soil to drive the stakes in. it has however given me the idea of jamming a piece of wood at the bottom between the posts and securing the fence to it. alternatively i could screw right angled brackets at each end making sure they are right up to the post. thank...

dilling is a good idea but the posts are really hard and brittle and i dont want to risk damaging them.

are there any drawbacks re a wireless vs wired alarm system wrt security? Is the alarm box operated by a stand alone battery? if so, how long will it last?

a good idea thank you but i am looking for a solution which is a little more secure.
