Lol true However I can run the wire through the trunk up to the ceiling....but then I will have to lift the floor boards to get to the wiring.......so that's a job for another day :lol:

OK thanks for confirming that!

Trying to wire in my outside light to come on the same time as my downstairs hallway light, the swhitch also controls the upstairs hallway light to. So unscrewed the light switch and was instantly confused all the wires appear to me to be live, the blue and yellow wire has a little red tag on...

orite will give that a go...mines currently set to the "eco" setting

Hi all I had this boiler fitted by the council a few years back and I hate it. Is there any way to stop it from turning on and heating up the water inside it automatically? Iv began turning the thing off once we have finished with that water at night as im fed up with it flaring up and...

Ah thanks for the heads up thermo :) Spent the day sorting it out! didnt get any of the Timberloks as I only just saw your post...but I didnt need them in the end anyway. Here are a couple of pics of the finished posts pics. Pic 1 Pic 2

wow guys steady on your losing me? rebated does that mean cut the bottom out? if so they are all ready like that from BQ. I agree with megawatt I would like to bolt it to the frame and a 90 degree joist but thats no really possible. So I'm just going to have to build up the frame...

Thanks magawatt :) I have one more question! now I have put up the Posts. How do you make them sturdy? At the moment they have 2x M10 bolts going through them and the 4x2, there is no sideways movement but its quite wiggly forwards and backwards. Here is a pic I was thinking...

OK, Iv decided after taking a look to move the post the deck is raised on from the corner to one joist in! that will solve the problem with placing the corner hand post's! So just need to know if there is a recomended spacing for each hand post, I know the riser's need to be a max of 4"...

Hi Guys Finally going to get this finished!! Need some advice. 1.Is there a recommended spacing between hand posts? 2.On the corners of the decking where im going to put a post! I have lots of screws holding the outer joists together going into a piece of 4x4. How do i get around...

haha just had a look on youtube for "mouse trap" I thought they killed them straight away but it dosnt....make for some satisfying watching :twisted: better then Natural world anyway :lol:

Interesting? thinks you need to get out more :D I believe it's made from concrete slaps with iron bars inside for strength. Going to see if I can get a mortgage on it next year! not sure if I can with the current walls remaining.

Hence the bit not done yet (ie not finished) Will be putting up a hand rail on 3 sides and leave the part closest in the picture open. There is a path running up the left hand side to get up to it.

Just thought Id update my original Thread on the subject....not done yet mainly due to the weather! but the area looks so much better already:) will put a couple more up once all the fencing is up.

The hinges are metal...On this perticular seat the screws that go into the seat from the hinges have suffered, but this is due to the crappy screws that you tighten for the adjustable hinge spacing continuously working loose! hence the seat moving and putting preasure on the hinges I also do...
