hi - so I'm refurbishing the bedroom and have an idea for a couple of very simple night lights that would be plugged in. The design would essentially be 2 bits of wood, with a fabric covered cable strung from one to the other through a hole... Problem is I have no idea where to start, buying...

Thanks for the advice - we did find what looks like vermiculite in bags. can't reach far enough to get a light photo but it looks like this: http://bannerchemical.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Vermiculite.jpg - the rest of it thats spread about (as in the images) looks more paper based - do you...

For the first time since buying our old 1930's era semi-detached a couple of years ago we are thinking about having the loft boarded for some extra storage space. It's the first proper time I've ventured up there and it looks like nothing I've ever seen in a loft! I've attached some images - is...

I very nearly spat tea all over the screen! I think I'm going to call the plumber tomorrow morning to ask them to explain exactly how they'll go about getting the shower in and with what sort of finish - I don't like the idea of plastic boxing for cabling etc... Will see exactly what their...

How would they supply electricity to the unit?... Thats what I can't get my head around at the moment! This is the shower I'm leaning towards at the moment: http://bit.ly/dz8zCu Would it be a viable option as a decent shower?

The only issue with that type of shower is that it requires the pipes to be run behind the walls?... Or do I have that wrong? Our requirement for the plumber was to try and minimise the amount of work required to install the shower - hence their suggestion of running 2 chrome pipes down from...

Thanks for all the replies everyone. We're going to have a shower installed in the main bathroom upstairs at some point so I think when we call our plumber out sooner rather than later to take a look and quote and I'll get him to look at the diaphragm too. We'll be sure to install a proper...

Thanks for the response. Where would I find the water diaphragm (and what does it do?!)? Is it something I would be able to replace myself or is it safer to get a professional in?

Hi, I recently moved into a new house which has a Worcester 240 Combi-boiler installed (the kind with a programmer panel at the front). There are a couple of issues we're having when it comes to hot water. Firstly - we're only able to get hot water (at the sinks in upstairs bathroom...
