Hi all,
I have no idea what to google on this & would really appreciate help.
I've seen picture frames designed to take a screw protruding from the wall. They effecitvely come with a large hole followed by a narrower slot coming out of the large hole and pointing towards the top of the...
Thanks for the detailed response answers below....
I'm guessing to be honest.
Yes spot on about the brown sleeving, actually all the wires in this box appear to have brown sleeving on them (barr the Earth's). So it is a switching live. I've looked in the rose which has a lot of brown and...
Hi,
I have what is going to be a simple problem for you guys but it's something that has me completely stumped.
My hallway and landing was recently re-plastered and the plaster removed all the sockets & switches, this is fine and it looks great except I have no idea how to get them...
ColJack,
Thanks. Suspected there was an incompatibility but hadn't realised the specific differences you've outlined below. I'll get some of the Varilight ones from 1stop....
Hi,
It was two per trani initially but I moved down 1 with the flickering to see if I could determine the issue.
I've since discovered that it's the process of putting the lights onto full that sorts the flickering not raising and lowering the dimmer...
Hi all,
Components are:
1. 3 way Varilight iFSi403M touch/remote dimmer (middle circuit used for LV lights as below)
2. 3 x Aurora (Dais) DA-E60 12V transformers (20-60w/va)
3. 3 x Aurora A2-UCL102 12V G4 cabinet lights
The lights flicker when switched on but if I dim them up and down...
Hi all,
I've started posting on here about a garage conversion I'm undertaking as a DIY project. The 1st post I asked has prompted me to start reviewing the requirements for Building Regs and that has prompted me to think through exactly what I need to do and I probably need some help here...
I want whatever I do to be permanent (with the option for the next guy to roll back to a garage if required.
If what I've read is right then I need to involve building control, I'm planning to replace the front garage door as part of this process as well which I think means I need planning...
Hi all,
I'm in the process of converting my single skin garage to an office owing to the imminent arrival of a new baby.
The garage has large double garage doors at the front and rear so my first step is going to be the removal of the rear doors. I'll be putting in a single aluminium...
Hi all,
This question might be largely irrelevant but i'll ask anyway.. When painting a first coat over fresh plaster in a kitchen should I be using a watered down kitchen/bathroom paint or a standard watered down emulsion?
cheers
Just to follow up on my experiences...
I now have a double-under electric oven underneath an induction hob. The main issue was around depth of the hob (as someone mentioned above) which in my case is 55mm (much bigger than the gas hob it replaced). The hob and the oven also need a gap to...
All,
I'm converting my garage into a home office. It currently has front and rear doors of similar sizes and I want to remove the rear doors. I have no brick laying skills and was wondering if there was an alternative to brick. Someone has mentioned pyroc + brick slips to maintain the...
All,
Need to get my brickwork repointed. All that is showing (house mostly rendered) is around 2 metres from ground up.
Is this something I can attempt on my own and if so what do I need to do this effectively.
Or should I get in a pro and if so where should I look for someone...
