That's the thing there are no newel posts or spindles and the handrail is mounted straight to the wall. One guy cut me off and just said sorry mate not my thing stairs but his yellow pages at has some nice pictures of some of his work :-). Is there anything I should be asking ?

Hi all, I am looking to replace my stairs as they are creaky and 2 of the treads have split and disconnected from the riser so i think its time for a replacement. Its a 1940/50's ex council house with a wall on either side of the flight. It is a straight flight with 13 steps but the bottom...

The problem is the sheet matieral is expensive and comes in huge sheets, you would need another method of breaking the sheets down to fit the engraving machine ( I brought a machine and thought I'd save money ) Good luck

Goggle cablecraft label shop, I personally recommend the laser cut rather than the engraved traffolyte type.... the plastic is much better, I have order 10's of thousands of pounds worth of labels from here and the quality is great. I'm not affiliated with them but build a lot of control system...

B is certainly the norm in the industry in my experience but as you say you can do as you like as long as both ends are the same, and yes certainly all the kit I use will sense and adjust as needed lots of cheap domestic kit won't however but that's a side point. I actually just bought 125 8...

Whilst true the pixies in the cable don't know the colour its good to keep to a standard as if you add alter etc etc later its much easier to work from the standard that your memory .....from my experience :-)

The norm is to wire to the B standard, and reserve the A for your crossover patch cabling if so required. (Which I'm am certain you won't require because as stated this is for when you connect equipment direct to each other without routing via a network switch) As ban all sheds has said using a...

So did I but unfortunately plasterboard is not strong enough to resist high compressive loads, this is what makes these fixings good as you tighten up against the fixing rather than the plasterboard. Hope that makes sense

Just for everyones info, the dryline pro are more like a extra large rawplug and long screw so normal accuracy applies , the rigifix use a very large plastic rraw plug which has a tapped metal screw in "bolt type inner"you then fix your item with an M6 bolt into the metal inner sleeve . this...

I have used both rigifix and dryline pro google them to buy them, both are designed to give a good fixing by mitigating the gap between the board and the block. I used dryline pro to put a cantilever arm TV braket up and its solid. Hope that helps Failing that it's as others have said and...

Yes joists run the same way . Yes I am.aware of the hump and plan to build a built in single bed over it :-) What I have done is divide a quite large bedroom into 2/rooms the plasterboard you can see forms one of the new doorways into each room.

I hope to remove the wall you can see so that the current back of the cupboard is the wall in he room, the back wall of the cupboard is the wall you would see as you walk down the stairs if you look up a bit I have looked in the loft and its plasterboard between the top of the wall and the joists

OK good idea

Gents, I am about to smash a brick cupboard out that sits over the stairs . there is plasterboard between the top of the wall and the joists...ie it was build after the roof ceiling was boarded. Also joist run parralell with it which I understand isnt always indicative of non supporting. I...

You may have more luck here http://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/forumsphpbb3/dishwasher-forum/ I would say that this is less of a plumbing issue and more of an appliance issue good luck
