    Adding an extra pendant light to existing switch / circuit

    Hi all, I think this should be quite a straightforward question. In my dining room I have a dimmer switch which controls a single pendant on the ceiling. I've just bought 2 new pendant lamps which I want to replace the existing single pendant. The 2 new pendants are to run off the single...

    tile adhesive excess removal

    Thanks for the advice. It does come off relatively easily with a wood chisel. But it's a long boring job. I wish I'd cleaned up properly in the first place - then I would have finished by now. Oh well!!!

    Roma ceramic floor tiles.

    I know the tiles you're referring to. They're SUPPOSED to have a dusty appearance. I don't know how you might change that.

    tile adhesive excess removal

    I have begun retiling my kitchen floor in a diamond pattern. I followed the advice I found in various places and laid all my full tiles first. I have let that set and I am now ready to cut and place the rest of the tiles. However - there is tile adhesive sticking out the sides of the full...

    Tiling a stud wall???

    I intend to fully tile my bathroom but one of the walls is a stud partition wall. The tiles I intend to use are actually floor tiles. Is it ok to tile a stud partition wall or is it likely to fall down? All I know about the wall is that it isn't a brick wall. I was told by Topps that...

    Toilet seal to downpipe broken - quick temporary fix???

    I'm not sure what a flush cone is but I'm guessing that installing it will mean moving the toilet in some way - or something bigger than I'm wanting to do right now. Where can I get a hold of the Denso tape?

    Toilet seal to downpipe broken - quick temporary fix???

    I have an old toilet which I am going to be replacing in February when I have enough money. However - in the meantime it has suddenly started leaking out the back where it connects to the downpipe. This is spewing out water on every flush onto the Bathroom floor. I don't want a full scale...

    Laying diagonal floor tiles with intermixed tile size

    Hi All, I am hoping to tile my new Kitchen floor using a pattern made up from 2 different sized tiles. To make matters worse I would also like this pattern on the diagonal. I have mocked the design up and it seems immediately clear to me that in order for the pattern not to slope against...

    Hello everyone. I recently bought a house which has a relatively new Kitchen installed. I now want to make some changes to the kitchen but I cannot find out what the Kitchen style is. I don't know who manufactured it, the supplier or the range. How might I go about tracking the...

    Supporting wall removal in Bungalow questions

    If you'd read my original posting then you'd see that I'm not really going to be doing the work. I'm going to be pushing barrows about full of rubble. I'm just trying to get as much knowledge about things because I'm interested. It isn't my day job. We're not building the Taj Mahal. I was only...
