The floors have vinyl squares stuck to the underlying concrete and work very well for many years. In a few places the vinyl tile has cracked and bits of the vinyl tile is missing showing the concrete underneath. I want to put a new top of vinyl sheet and would like to fill the small depression...

Thank you for your comments, I'm still undecided as to what is practicable but they will be useful when we build rest of fence. The problem is we already have fencing built with posts on the wall, it looks realy good but the posts are very loose due to the failed thunderbolts so we've...

Tha coach bolts sound like a solid answer to holding up posts, its possible and will have to check it out, but it would have been nice to have reliable fittings to hold up a 3x3 post without having to drill through the entire wall.

Thanks for the replies and I agree with the dogs dinner comment and I liked the picture by raebhoop as a possible design for future work. Last weekend following on fron Deluks we used 3" posts back of wall using 10mm thunderbolts and cut spacer blocks 6" long (3"x3") and screwed two of these...

Hi I should havementioned this fence is to my back garden.

Thanks for the replies. The brick wall is the original boundary wall and has no piers. I want to build a fence on top the wall and bring it forward. My idea has been to fix 3x3 inch posts about 6 foot high inside the wall about every 1.5 metres using several 6" thunderbolts. Then fix...

I need advise on suitable method to construct a wooden fence on top a boundary brick wall about 15 metres long. The brick wall is about 3 foot high, double brick (8.5 inches wide). I want a wooden fence built on top the wall and brought forward before covering with featherboard up to about 3...

The booster is a BT ren booster model CET-10, made in China. I think I see it now, I can connect the REN booster into the existing extension box socket then hardwire the booster into a new extension box (adjacent to the existing one) and connect the 3 way adapter into that box to increase...

Hello My problem concerns telephones which don't always ring. The arrangement is a master socket to take the incoming telephone cable, this has an answerphone connected. The Master socket has two hardwired extensions, one extension has a telephone connected and the other has a three way...

I live in Bristol and have a long garden double brick wall 3 ft high bordering the street. Over the year’s shrubs and tree growth close to the wall has caused some vertical and horizontal cracks mostly by tree trunks pressing the wall. I wanted to raise the wall to at least 6 feet using...

I am looking for a covert camera to take pictures during the day and night, to be fixed to the top of the house to monitor my boundary wall. I wanted something that doesn't look like a camera and definitely do not want it to glow red at night. I understand all IR camera's give a red glow at...

Thank you very much thats good advice. It's starting to look a bit grubby already.

I can't be sure, think it might be acrylic but would like to know about both types of sealant, if possible for future reference.

I've looked at the Bathroom/ Kitchen sealant tube and it doesn't say whether its silicone or acrylic; it does say its a water-based sealant, I don't know if that helps.

I've just used Bathroom and Kitchen flexible sealant for my uPVC window frames then managed to find Frame sealant and started to use that for the other window. It looks like the Bathroom and Kitchen sealant is much harder and not so easy to apply, and some brands say not to use it for uPVC...

Thank you for the responses. I didn't intend to run the Cat5e cables to a router, I had hoped to have a bunch of cat5e wall sockets so I could manually select which to connect to the cable modem depending which room I had my laptop. It could be the only option is to direct the cables from...

I've raised floorboards to run Cat5e cabling to 5 rooms from the vicinity of my broadband cable modem so I can run broadband to any of these rooms. The 5 cables come up through the floorboard close to the modem and I've managed to preserve the Cat5e plugs on each end of the cables. Can...

Thank you Chukka. I've now got myself a plug cutter, it burns a bit at times but it seems to do the job so far after two nails.

Can somebody tell me if a hole saw bit needs special fittings for my rotary drill. The job I have in mind is I have nailed down floorboards in the loft and want to access under some floorboards before refitting the same boards. It seemed a good idea to use my drill with a hole saw to cut about...

OK. I will run the amplifier from the loft and direct the split cables to the landing floorboards to distribute the cables to each room. The telephone cable is just a telephone extension to another room. The additional two broadband connections are ethernet (RJ45) cables to run from the...
