Thanks. I found those. Look very good. Should be able to make the wife smile now. :)

Our current fiberglass balconey is in need of a slight repair. There are no leaks apparent but one support of the glass balustrade is gone so the balustrrade is wonky. Clearly maybe some rot underneath. The fiberglass does make a cracking sound in a couple of places. So perhaps the boarding...

Wife bought a few of these turkish wall lamps. Been looking at how to mount them Going to use screws with a washer to hold the lamp to the wall. As typical with turkish stuff, no ground wire. There really is no place to put in a screw anywhere so I was thinking of using a loop with crimp (see...

Thanks, Now that you mention it, a close look at the chips does seem to indicate a veneer. I'll examine it more. Your idea about a re-polish is a good one. Salik.

I have this dineing table which we've had for about 30 years. It has a significant amount of damage to it. Mainly clouding from hot items being placed on the surface, some small chips - probably from being moved a couple of times - and tape residue. The table is expandable so to keep it from...

Not all. It is not hanging over the landing or the top section of stairs at all. But you can still play with the lights as much as you like! :giggle:

Managed to get this on. Added a board into the loft beside the one already there. Used 60mm screws and washers for the bracket. This ain't going anywhere. Two ladders with a board in between with the son and wife help to hold it up. It was 10kg! each of those shades is solid cast aluminium...

Yeah I was thinking about this as well I can move it to the right. I found plenty of boards in the garage to put it up with. But found the insulation rather gritty and terrible. At least it's beside the loft opening so no crawling in a very dangerous loft. I can easily attach a ground wire to...

Eagle eyed I see. :) Your son's light is lovely. What my wife chose is ... well... not as nice if I am honest and probably taller. It's far more than 4kg. Probably around 10-12kg I reckon. I might have some scrap 4" wood around somewhere I can fit between the trusses and screw into that. The...

Hello. The other half has this chandelier which wants hanging. Replacing another chandelier. It's really quite heavy. each bulb shade it very thick metal. Not thin metal or glass. Quite thick metal. It looks like it comes with a bracket. I think it's a bracket. It came as it. no mounting...

That ebay link is dead but I did find this. https://www.double-glazing-parts-spares.co.uk/si-siegenia-tilt-and-slide-slider-block-psk-pair I have the same door and the same issue. I only just discovered this. I didn't notice this because immediately beside the door vertical blinds were...

I will be complaining to his licencing body. The existing unit had RCD protection so no need for a new fuse box. It's a crappy scam run by those that wanna rip people off. All he literally did was move sockets around, replace halogen lights with LED ones and move two light switches. I will...

Presuming that he will than go to the council and submit a complaint? I'll put forward that all that happened was sockets got moved. Nothing new was created. Anyway the man is a jerk.

Yeah totally. I don't know why we carried on with him. I would have been happy not doing the box and telling him to go away and never speak with us again. I dunno. I guess we have hope sometimes. Now I've blocked him and if he comes round I'll call the cops. Totally zero ethics and screwing...

So we just had some minor electrical works done. No new circuits just converted the conservatory to an extension and thus that was rewired and a couple of new sockets added. Nothing major. electrician insisted on a new box. Said he would not issue a completion certificate unless we did. I...
