Thanks, Stavino - the part that is difficult to track down is the 10051023 which is the part that fits the frame - rear mounted. The issue is that Ikea does not sell this version of the hinge and their service dept only want to issue spared - as stated I need about a dozen, and that's a bit...

I will give eBay ago but wasn’t sure what to search for. I have tried Ivar hinges but only come up with other ones for a cabinet. as I need about a dozen I do t think IKEA will send me some especially as they don’t sell the hinges by themselves. thanks for your interest

Hi All. I know there are a lot of general questions about hinges, but I am trying to track down this type of hinge. I have a large set of Ikea Ivar shelves and wish to add doors to them, but I don't like the doors they do and want to make my own to suit my house. The reason is the frame is...

Hi I have seen a lot of threads on garden lighting in this forum, and after reading a few I am still not clear on what I need for this project (to be fair this is probably down to me and not the quality of advice given!) My project is this: the entrance to my property is a set of 8 steps...

Ah - just found a local supplier that apparently does RED cables - only problem is all the cables come in a minimum of 100m so going to have a lot left over! Never mind - thanks to all for your comments

Thanks for the information I think I will need to use the warning notices as I don't know where to get Red cables from Black, Brown, Blue and Yellow/Green is from everywhere - but 2.5mm Red seems a bit thin on the ground.

Update I think from the WIKI this is called an A1 Ring Final Circuit //www.diynot.com/wiki/electrics:socket_circuits:a1_ring_final_circuit Also - am I correct in thinking lighting circuits use the same colouring?

Hi My neighbour has asked if I could help him re-rout some wiring in his shed / garden office. The situation is he has moved the door from one end to the side and this now means that the existing plastic conduit (which contains a ring main wired in Red, Black and Green/Yellow 2.5mm...

Hi RedHerring2 Yes that is the other option - was hoping to use foam for two reasons - 1 to help 'cement' some of the tiles a little in place with the foam - they are in good nick but shift a little - especially at the ridge. The other is vermin - we live in a rural location and we do get...

OK - unless you can prove that the lintel was put in by the same company you called out - then the cost is down to you - you called them. It looks to me that whoever filled in the fireplace to start with did a nosh job and used a couple of lengths of old copper plumbing pipe - question is is...

Hi Basic (and probably stupid question) but I have a covered space between our back wall and what was the coal shed (now the bathroom) which shares a common wall with my neighbour - I have just pulled down the ceiling in this area (old sundealar type board) before it fell down and am looking to...

The ramp wont be too much of problem as the shed it to have a door at the 'upper end' so if i get the levels right its straight in.. but good tip - which i admit i hadn't really thought about. bludger - the post you put in i guess you did this like the supports for a raised deck or what the...

Thanks for the responce Am i right in thinking that a normal shed base is approx 3 inches of concrete on top of 3-4 inches of hardcore? If this is the case the the 'deep-end' of the foundation would need , i guess, a retaining wall with compacted soil and then the normal hardcore /...

Hi Looking to build a shed in my garden which has a bit of a slope (There is a very badly made greenhouse base 16x8 which is approx 2foot 6 high at one end and ground level at the other) The whole base has to go as its falling over so this is the ideal place to put a large shed - actually...
