Just after a little confirmation I'm choosing the right screws for the last DIY job before Christmas. (And also stop over thinking it as I went deeper down the Google rabbit hole!) Looking to hang a full motion perlegear bracket to a brick internal wall, TV is 75" weighs 30kg, went off the...

I did think about that one briefly but the WAF was already low because I've got to cut in to the ceiling to get at the wires (why are they always just slightly too short?)

:LOL: I should have been more specific that I couldn't find these on either TS or Screwfix.

I'm trying to find a suitable enclosure to stick a Shelly 1pm Mini in to the ceiling. The dimensions of the shelly is 29x34x16 which suggests it should fit in a normal wagobox/connexbox but it might be a tight squeeze? I've looked at the quickfix JB u as well which I've seen mentioned...

I'm looking to swap out my bath taps with a bath/shower mixer. But as you can just about see (sorry not the best pics with the gap available) in the photos before we moved in here it looks like something had been leaking for a while and also some serious bodgery was done (no idea what those...

I think I looked at Bristan, but unless I missed it most seem to just have the hand shower not the rain shower as well. Trying to keep SWMBO and mini-SWMBO happy (so I can get on with the other jobs!). I did look at other taps that came with the deck mounts but I saw a couple of comments that...

Bump

I'm looking to add a thermostatic mixer shower to our bath. I've looked at something like this: Rain shower and hand shower. And would like to pair it with something like this? I'm not dead set on the Grohe tap but from comments on here and reviews they seem to be a good purchase? If I...

I hadn't actually thought about that one! Although that picture is from when they were first put in so how they'd fair at being modified err 15 years later! The other reasons I'm considering a side gate is out of convenience but there is also currently a discussion going on (read fight!) with...

Ah no.. Sorry should have been more specific! Hopefully that makes more sense? With the bottom gravel board being partially sunk, I was planning to "carefully" remove that trying not to disturb the paving and in fill the gap with concrete which would be then either be drilled/leave in...

That's what we have currently, goes back about 24'. Would what I suggested above work do you think? Thanks.

Currently around our back garden we've 6ft concrete posts with gravel boards and large (read damn heavy!) gates. Been ok for a while but needs a spruce up so some of the gravel boards are coming out to make way for new fence panels and while I was out measuring Mrs Unseen was having a moan...

Thanks for that! I'll grab some flex when I'm passing the local CEF tomorrow.

I've recently had a new 6mm cable run done in prep for a cooker replacement. All is good with that but connecting to the cooker.. Either I'm being stupid or missing something obvious (and I'm fine with that if I learn something from it!) So from the cooker connection point a 3m run of 6mm T+E...

Is the 3mm just as good for heat retention? That has been the main bone of contention with SWMBO as since clearing the floors ready to start the room temp has in her opinion dropped a fair bit, I hadn't noticed as I put a jumper on :D As for puddles if they happen will be mopped up and cleaned...
