    Swapping master and dummy BT socket

    Thank you all so much for the great replies! I really appreciate it, I have a 2 year old so saving me the trouble of having a router in the hall way which could be a potential trip hazard is the goal, also it would look ****e. Green pair on the A/B extension would be ideal, I assume I can, as...

    Changing dodgy Chinese plub on power adapter

    Hi Guys, I need a variable voltage power adapter to control the speed of a 12v 10w 3a fan. So I bought one of these adapters off ebay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/313525220556?var=612357859429 When it turned up, it had one of those chinese plugs on, not fused. I've chopped it off and it's...

    Can I build a tandem garage here?

    Other houses have, inline with an included porch way.. Edit: The house already has/had planning permission for a "gym" to be built on the side, previous to the rear extension, this actually included a porchway.

    Can I build a tandem garage here?

    Thanks so much! That all sounds good to me, the extension stops being doing a slopped roof which would have been nice for some storage but i can live without that. Great info and all noted. The misses thinks we should bring the garage out slightly at the front and incorporate it into a porch...

    Can I build a tandem garage here?

    Ha, pretty much what I thought, was an open ended question. I'm in Surrey. To be honest, roof wise, what ever is advised and looks ok from ground level. I assume a flat roof that lines up with the extension. Safe area and dead end road. In regards to the flue, is it a case of a 90 degree...

    Can I build a tandem garage here?

    Thanks guys, really helpful. I just wanted to understand if it can be done and any more info so I'm not a total dummy when I get some builders over to quote it up. I want a roller door on the front as you can have the frame within the opening, giving a wider opening for a car. Rear, I am not...

    Power supply for 12v 10w fan?

    Hello, I hope someone can advise. I have a 12v 10w fan which runs constantly to push air into an A/V rack. The power supply which came with it appears to have died, the fuse didn't trigger in the IEC kettle lead so it is just the AC adapter. The sticker came off a long time ago. Would a...

    Is this legal? Plastic pipe -> Boiler

    Hi Guys, I am in the process of buying a house in need of some work. It had a rear extension around 6 years ago, where the old kitchen was, a utility area now hides a section of it away, this utility room has not been finished off like the areas outside of it, so it is a slight odd experience...
