    data protection act and fines

    I take it someone could not take you to court right away and try to sue you for 100,000? They would first have to ask you to remove the camera and only if you refused you could be taken to court?

    data protection act and fines

    How interesting. I had 2 detectives knock on my door inquiring about my camera, when I told them it had no hard drive they left. I only have the camera as I cant see who's at the front door from the living room as the as the porch blocks the view, so I have a monitor in the living room, never...

    data protection act and fines

    Hi DIYSOS, thanks for your interest. Do you own a ring doorbell out of interest? Could EVERY Ring doorbell customer face £100,000 fine after landmark ruling? | Daily Mail Online

    data protection act and fines

    thanks for the reply, JohnD. No - but I was hoping someone was going to explain the case. It does seems scary that someone can innocently setup a ring door bell and get fined 100,000 - so I'm guessing there was more to it than just that. But my question still stands, if your equipment can...

    data protection act and fines

    Hi All, Recently I heard about a case where a man was being fined 100,000pounds (a life changing amount) as his ring door bell was recording his neighbour. What if you don't have a hard drive or online recording, is it still possible to fall foul of some law or the data protection act only...

    Sound Proofing

    thanks for the reply woody. I guess I need to reduce sound both ways though. I saw this youtube video where they used a double layer of plaster board with an acoustic filler between the two.

    Sound Proofing

    Thanks for the reply Stephen. crumbs sounds like lots to lift up if something goes wrong under. as I'm trying to do my own plumbing I would like easy access to them. I just measured the joists, they are about 20cm - I see they sell the acoustic insulation 10cm thick, would I just use 2 layers?

    Sound Proofing

    Hi All, Currently I have carpet in the upstairs bedroom - I guess under that there is underlay, then the floor boards, then the void between floor boards and lath plaster (I think it's called) ceiling. When someone is on the phone or playing music/watching tv - it can be heard fairly clearly...

    Laying New blue MDPE pipe

    thanks for the reply John. Everything is being redone: It's currently in the toilet downstairs (and yes you are right that's almost a straight line). Boiler is moving to porch. Water softener will be in porch. The porch is a shorter run and it will not pass under the house as an extension is...

    Laying New blue MDPE pipe

    Thanks for the reply Ian. I dont think it would be a modern one. What is a modern one? A plastics 25mm one? Well it's metal and it seems like a steel pipe which has an outside diameter of 22mm. Now there is a connection where I have dug which if I were lucky I could unscrew and use a compression...

    Laying New blue MDPE pipe

    Thanks for the reply john D - now I know the regulations say 750mm deep, and the current steel pipe is at that depth. But what about the direction we are allowed to lay the pipe? Diagonals allowed?

    Laying New blue MDPE pipe

    Thanks for the reply. Sorry for not being clear - no I mean water company stopcock. If you look at the top of the picture you will see the metal flap on the pavement (not my property) that goes to the water companies stopcock. Where I have dug and exposed the pipe is my property the yellow...

    Laying New blue MDPE pipe

    So I'm laying a new water pipe as I'm moving the position of the stop cock. Old pipe is steel. I bought a special converter to go from the 22mm steel to 25mm plastic as I have been told that we cant touch the tap. Builder wants to lay it diagonal across the drive - dont we have to lay it...
