metalman, As you're clearly not retarded, you might be able to figure out if there is a supply present to the light and if it is switched live (you may not be familiar with this term) that there is continuity there and no components are damaged. Do you have any testing equipment...

Don't know if it's any use to you, but when I carried out the same doubling up as yourself, I got a new plumbing part with an intake and screwed the second grey waste pipe into that.(see below) http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?ts=27375&id=12794 If thats a pain you could use...

My mate runs his own valeting business, he can get quite deep scratches out using a 9" angle grinder which has a buffing pad attached. He also has differing grades of polish - from a cutting compound right up to light polish. I'd take it to my local valeters and ask, if they are any good...

What about a glass cupboard with stainless steel cover over your wastes? tres chic!

some people use a bit of PVA mixed in with the sawdust from your newly sanded boards, there's a section in DIY doctor which illustrates this far better than I ever could. http://www.diydoctor.org.uk/home.htm Go to DIY projects, filling gaps in floorboards, Regards Hammy

Meblin, The leccy guys will probably shoot me down on this one, but with my elementary gasp of electronics/electrical theory:- P = V x I (power equals voltage times current) therefore I = P / V (current equals power divided by voltage) In your original state: the current used would...

Dont know about new vans mate, but I personally prefer transits. They're not full of fancy crap you don't need, doing the job is what it's about(for me). My mates got a sprinter though, V reg (1999/2000). He got it with 100k on the clock, it's now on 150k with nothing done to it, everbody...

I've heard that Lion excrement from the Zoo deters cats! But thats more for the garden than the house... I think i'd rather prefer the smell of cat's urine... :lol:

Did anybody see the shed program with Sarah Beeny at the weekend? I missed it, not like me to miss an opportunity to ogle her....... :shock: Was it any good?

Look what Tony's getting out of it though... Cherie's mouth is like a letterbox Even John Holmes could fit his in....

Bye Bye Breezer All the Best.... hammy

Hi Tex Dunno about your beard, but I seen this pr*t on one of those 'holiday rep shows' (usually on sky1 ) , that had all his hair removed with Immac. They even showed you his 'so called' mates doing it. His head ended up like a billiard ball!!

Apply immac liberally for that all over shine.... :P sorry for the bad joke... but this is a DIY forum not a hairstyling forum!!!

my missus was the manager of a construction training company, if ONE piece of scaffolding was damaged or missing or if it was declared unsafe - they had to get rid of it. Such scaffolding usually ends up auctioned off, some DIY'er would jump at the low price. The potential for disaster is...

My Dad stays in a caravan park, he reckons that the whole site has very dodgy electrics, it must be quite common. He can't run too many appliances at once in his pine-lodge, it just won't function.. Pardon my ignorance, but don't caravan sites have to be wired up the same as a domestic...
