I Osmo'd an oak veneer door at my previous house on the advice of UK Oak Doors, but Travis, Wickes, Howdens, all warn not to apply oil or wax as the veneer will delaminate. One other issue is that if you cut through to the core (I did, thanks to misleading trim info) the thin oak veneer gives a...

@secureiam - if I self install Pyronix Enforcer, is your 2nd year on discounted cloud fee likely to be available at that point? If so, and I subscribe, do you grab my cloud access control or do I still have it? E.g. I wish to add a user - do I have to come through you to do this? Many thanks.

With the alarm unset, it just went off when I opened the garage door! It's going back!

The live bell box is on the side of the house. Installer said it was better to be closer to the panel here, plus there was an existing live from the previous box in the same location. On the front of the garage is a dummy box. The live box is about the same distance from me in the drive with...

:? Downstairs I have laid 20mm unfinished solid oak T&G over 20mm lightly warped floorboards in the lounge using a secret nailer, and the same in the dining room but had to float and edge glue 75% in here due to the extension's concrete floor. Did these rooms 5 years ago with Osmo finish...
