Hi all, Planning on renovating my second bathroom which is part of a ground floor extension (already in place when I bought the house). The previous owner had not really thought about where to place things and so the bathroom window is just in an odd position - for my liking at least...

Eric - any ideas where I can buy the connector from? I may try maplin. banallsheds - not sure how the power socket wiring is as the wall and sockets were light this when i bought the house. the previous owner was a builder and a bit of a cowboy so I'm fairly positive he's cut corners.

I have a samsung soundbar which has a "brick" style ac/dc adapter (see image 1). The soundbar is mounted on a stud wall (see image 2) just below the TV. I want to hide all the wiring in the wall. As you'll see from image 2, the plug sockets are close to the TV, these are going to be moved...

Hi All, I'm looking to renovate my shower room and will be building a stud wall to allow for pipework and a shower niche/recess (for shampoos etc.) I want to add lighting to the shower niche but rather than at the top like I see in most pictures, I want the lighting at the bottom as you...

Hi all, I am planning to lay down laminate flooring (black slate tile effect from B&Q) in my separate toilet room. What underlay should I be using for this? Foam, laminate underlay, fibreboard? This is just for the toilet room, which is separate to the bathtub and shower and sink...

Hi all, I am trying to find a good example of a bathtub which has a fixed glass screen attached to it. I'm not after a screen that pivots or has hinges, but essentially just a large piece of glass that has been fixed into the wall and siliconed at the bottom edge (where it meets the bathtub...

Hi str, thanks for the info. I'd be keen to know how you get on with the other packs, and the results once the flooring is laid down. I'm only going to be using this flooring in a small room (2.1m x 2.6m) but don't want the headache of poor quality. I've only really looked online...

thanks Woodyoulike. Sorry if I'm asking a stupid question...what are the dimension tolerances in relation to? i.e. lengths and widths? or just widths? Also, what is an acceptable tolerance level? Thanks, N
