No suggestions on new box as I have that box and quite like it. My only annoyance being that it does not play Disney. May I ask how it is showing signs of failure? If it is over heating, open lid and remove dust from fan (had to do that twice). if hard disk is making a failure noise, it is...

All good points. I also afterwards thought about fire transmission. So I will stand down my suggestion. :)

I would be tempted to put a socket on both sides. One hole all the way through the wall with two metal boxes back to back.

Side suggestion - have you used your bath in a while? Asking as our bathroom started to smell over this summer - and it was the bath u bend whose water had evaporated in the heat and dried out, as everyone had used the shower. Added a bit of water to bath to refill u bend and got rid of smell.

Pigs ear handrail on the wall section? https://www.google.com/search?q=pigs+ear+hand+rail+for+stairs Or put the pigs ear all the way up the full wall side. SFK

Looks fantastic. Possible suggestion. I put an emergency light (connected to light circuit) in my windowless workshop. Decided that if I tripped the lights, with saw still on, and floor covered in trip hazards, I wanted to be able to see route out and where door handle is.

If I understand what you are doing correctly..... I would get 12.5mm plasterboard, and attach it to your wood with many lines of no-more-nails. I would use lines of no more nails rather than a layer so that the new plasterboard can be pushed in place (squashing the lines of no more nails) so...

Pls check the label before taking my advice...as I am a diyer. I tend to put on three. Wiping it on with a J cloth (the blue ones). And I have on occasion (on stairs hand rails) after second coat left it to dry a few days and used 600grit wet and dry sand paper with water and a touch of...

Another vote for Osmo. Remember to only put on thin coats of osmo (and wipe off excess).

The external feed might have been shorted (joined) when it was cut and replaced with the fibre. So when you disconnected it, it removed the issues - perhaps.

This is the method I used to reactivate the phones and alarm on my BT line, all so the items connected to the internal phone line continued to work after VOIP changeover. It is Still working now...

I recommend the Gate mate brand as they gave worked well for me, olders being 11 years old. (But they do cost more than the multiple no name copies). And note that there are typically two versions, 50mm and 70mm to meet the thickness of your gate...

It is not a no-no. And I have in occasion done this. BUT it does make it less safe to use. For example, we already know the switch is poor quality with the contacts sticking open. Joining the Neutral side of the switch removes the operatunity for that side of the switch to switch off the...

Fyi, as a diy-er I marked the floor and ceiling where the studs are before proceeding. This Made it much easier (for me) to find were the studs were to put the screws into, when I had a new large sheet of plasterboard against the wall.

What is that (what looks like a) lump of loose wire between 1 and 2,?
