    New 65inch TV- Wall mount or Stand? Whats best?

    Wow! thanks guys for swift response, I suppose you've got time on your hands with this lockdown! Very useful advise, I think I'm put off by wall mounting so it will be on a stand.

    New 65inch TV- Wall mount or Stand? Whats best?

    I thinking of purchasing 65in TV, not sure if such a large screen will be suitable for wall mounting. Can anyone let me know pros and cons of this. I'm thinking it will be awkward to connect things after wall mounting due to restricted access? Should I just put it on a stand? Appreciate any...

    10x6 shed wall timber frame size

    Hi I am about to build a similar size shed as yours, you can forget about using 2x2s, think you should use 4x2 for main wall frames. Why not have flat roof its only a small shed. I am also considering plastic sheds at moment but not sure how solid they are long term.

    MCB FAULTY? Help!

    No, I’ve been using cooker for a few months now without any problems, and yes was actually routed through the 13amp fused socket because I tested it and also confirmed it was the fatter cooker cable coming into it. I’m ****ed off with those electricians who did this in first place.

    MCB FAULTY? Help!
