Thanks I'll give them a try.

Hi, I purchased some outdoor garden lights from Homebase a few year back now, they are the xmas tree light type bulb, the ones you can easily take the light out of the green holder. They are 2.4v 0.48w according to the label on the transformer. Homebase can't really help me unless I have...

Hi, seen a good offer on a walk in shower enclosure (1400x900) and wondered if anyone has got/used one and what your opinion is of them? I'm currently planning out a new ensuite and have the space to take one but the budget is around £600 for the enclosure, most seem to be in the £1,000...

Cheers, I noticed there's a few places near me that also do it. I'm not in the trade so not sure if I can justify the expense of the course just to do one room in my house. I've done a couple of plastering courses at a local college and managed to skim a few rooms, so got my money back on...

I love the look of the finish, what I really need to know is how easy/hard this is today and is it expensive? If anyone has had any experience of Venetian plastering please let me know. :)

As easy as that ?! Thanks

Hi, I've got a room to skim and there are 2 arches, one which is 4ft wide and the other is about 10ft. The smaller one obviously has much more of an arch, but it looks like both need new edges (this whole room is a reskim). What's the best way to do this?, use skim beads?, if so what type...

Hi, more out of general interest than anything at this stage. I've done a plastering course myself and done a few rooms, people have commented on the good finish so I must be doing something right! I've got a bathroom to do and was wondering about Polished Plastering vs Tiling. Has anyone...

Thanks for your replies, most helpful. :D

Where I've had some windows bricked in I need to patch this up with plaster. The plasterer that use to skim my new walls and ceilings has left me some "browning" to do the job myself. Will I be able to do this with one coat or will I need to use this a backing and finish off with a...

Hi, i've recently extended by property (single storey) and continued the line of the building (my property) on the boundary. My neighbour was happy for me to do this as I said I was willing to allow him to use this wall when he came to do his extension, which is now complete. He has used the...

Thanks for your feedback chaps ... Jason if I put as Tex mentioned the tap part behind a unit to the right of the fridge (looking at it) will the pipe suppled reach, say 1m? Sorry for all the questioning but from what I understand when they deliver the fridge they fit it too. Problem is...

JPC - I'm just assuming it's a washing machine inlet connection, I was hoping someone on the site could confirm this and the position of where is best to site the cold supply to it. I suppose I could get off my fat @rse and take a trip to the shop to check one out :lol:

Sorry not quite sure where to post this :roll: , please see ... //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12923 Cheers Gary

Has anyone ever plumbed in one of these types of fridges? I'm looking to take order of one but my kitchen is being fitted before hand, therefore I need to work out where to plumb the 15mm water feed and to establish the connection type. I've downloaded the manuals from Samsung but no real...

Thanks for your help.

:?: Can anyone help me understand how this fitting works? I purchased one from a DIY shop and when asked how it worked they didn't have a clue, they suggested glue. I dare say it is just a push fit connection but to me it just doesn't look like it will do the job ... should some form of pipe...

Hi, has anyone got any tips for feeding 2x 2.5mm (Twin & Earth) cables down 20mm conduit? Is there some substance which makes this process easier like washing up liquid? What do the pros do? I found it easier to do this before attaching the conduit in the wall, but I still struggled with...
