I need to get TV, speaker etc wiring through behind my fire as it looks awful draped over the fireplace. I have replaced my gas fire with an electric. Is it easy to drill the firecement stuff, & will i need some kind of heat proof sheaving to protect my wires ? Please Help ! Many...

I have bought marble tiles for both my downstairs concrete toilet & upstairs solid tongue & groove wooden floor. My tiler says he'll lay stright on both without the use of any boarding, as its not needed & helps reduce the step up, is this ok ??? Also what floor adhesive should i use ? Hes...

I bought in 3 bamboo a while ago for my garden. I have come to plant them out but several people have warned me about the dangers. They say it will spread under the ground & pop up everywhere including my neighbours gardens & only fire & digging huge holes would get rid of it ! They are Tesco...

Hi, thanks for your help & patience & sorry for e-mailing any personal accounts. I am still confused but getting there ! - My bulbs are 6 x 12v, 1w LEDs & GU10 casings 12v. It does not say if they are AC or DC ??? So i need a 12v, 6 VA minimum transformer, but what about Ampage ??? These are...

Sorry lads no offence intended, just my old post went cold & you know whats what, I won't do it again :oops:

My 6 lights are just 1w LED GU10 spot lights, & i would like them all as bright & equal as possible ! I have bought in 1.5mm2 lighting cable ?

I am installing 6 sofit lights across my front roofline, but i am having problems working out whats what with the transformer i have bought (PRI:220~240vac 50Hz 25VA SEC:12vdc 1.67A Max.20VA) with its funny block connctor for each individual light ?! I just want to run from the first to last...

I checked the label & they are 'Tesco' Dicksonia, can't feel any hard lumps on top of trunk ? Sounds like they would be better in a conservatory !? I am in Staffs. Can i tell if i get them out of pot & look at the roots ?

I emailed the pics but to no avail !? I just want to run from the first to last light with no 'loop or return wire, just like the 2 packs of LED garden lights i have just discovered in my garage ! 2 packs of 3 LED mini posts & each with a 12V 840 mA 10.08va transformer. So if one transformer...

I have taken pictures but can't add them to this forum, i can email them ? I've forgotton now why i didn't just go for mains LED lights & save all the hassel of the transformer. What advantage do i get using the ransformer ?? I was going to place my transformer in the garage in the dry...

Many thanks for your excellent advice. You are right i never even thought about measuring the back of the GU10s ! & its only 58mm except for the springs ! I'll keep the mains photocell then, fantastic. £2.89 a year, i'm happy with that ! I'm just stuck now on the transformer & wiring. I have...

There is no sign of fresh growth or any green shoots at all !? Are they very hardy ? I was going to repot them in fancy planters on the patio but theres no point if they are dead. :(

I bought 3 last autumn & left them on my patio all winter. There does not appear to be any life at all yet this year !? But they don't feel soft or rotton ? Please help !

I have just paid £2,000 for complete replacement of my upper facia,soffit & bardgeboards. They promised me the end top apex's would come off no problem, I wanted these pulled off as they had no paint left on them & the ends were badly rotton. However when the men turned up they said no way, as...
