    Sockets on acoustic wall panel

    And you need to position the PB box so that the lugs can tighten on to a slat? And therefore need to cut the foam from behind the slats where the lugs will tighten on to? Hope you follow my poor explanation here.

    Sockets on acoustic wall panel

    Ah got it! If the panels are 21mm, would t I end up cutting some of the lug on the PB box too? In my situation, do you think the galvanised extension boxes would work better?

    Sockets on acoustic wall panel

    I think this can work. The slatted panels are 21mm thick. We then have some adhesive gap. This should allow me to fit the new sockets flush in the way I want. I will paint the boxes black. When I cut out the slatted panels for these extension boxes, how much slack do I have for when the socket...

    Sockets on acoustic wall panel

    I think the plasterboard boxes come in 35mm depth? The slatted boards are 21mm thick.

    Extending the ring

    I own a MFT and will check resistance and continuity before I make the change. I will be going left out of the existing socket to a new socket behind the cabinet. I will be going straight up from here to put another socket behind the TV. All cables are in safe zones. I will extend the ring -...

    Unseen sides of shed

    I’ve got two sides of my shed that won’t be visible. I’m wondering what would be an appropriate finish for these sides. The shed will be constructed with stud walls and 9mm osb on top. This will then be wrapped with a breathable membrane. Could I use hollow soffit for this? If yes, should I...

    Extending the ring

    I am looking to put acoustic slatted panels on this wall and as part of that, want to adjust the socket in the bottom right. I want to extend this ring and have a socket behind the tv cabinet and then, another socket behind the TV. I am comfortable with extending the ring and the new back...

    Maintenance-friendly shed

    Getting around to this now… Would hollow soffit boards be okay for the sides that are not visible? I will be wrapping the studs with osb and breathable membrane. Should I batten on top and then fix these boards or pin them straight in to the membrane and osb board? Thought they may be flimsy if...

    Sockets on acoustic wall panel

    I’m fitting acoustic wall panels and the wall has a socket and switch. I’d like to mount these on the surface of the panels. This will hide the cut edges of the panels and make the job look neater. They are currently in a metal box sunk in the wall. Can you please suggest how this can be...

    Acoustic Slatted Panels - fixing

    I've got some of these to put up and wanted to check on your preferred method. I've seen some that have just used glue whereas others have used drywall screws in the black sections of these panels. I am fixing on to a plastered wall. Thanks in advance.

    Mitre saw stand

    I've seen a few on there and they are either immobile or require a lot of storage space. Both are a concern for me. Please share any links for the bench you had in mind. Perhaps a platform that is built and then used on saw horses (which I don't currently own) could work?

    Mitre saw stand

    I have a Makita MLS 100 and May at some point upgrade to a sliding version. I currently place it in the floor every time I want to use it and then have to figure out how I keep studs and skirting level when I place the cut. I usually pack the furthest end of the timber with some offcuts to bring...

    Leak from roof lantern

    I saw some videos online where they are using CT1 to seal suspected leaks along the glass and framing. Does that work in your opinion?

    I am in the market for a new set of grips. I only work on residential systems - mainly 15mm and 22mm fittings. I already own a bahco adjustable spanner. I've had bahco, rothenberger and Knipex suggested to me. Can I please get your view on what you guys use on a daily basis and also is the...

    Mouse in loft

    I went in the loft over the weekend and had a good look and sniff around. I don't see any nibbling or additional droppings. I thought it would be wise to put something up there as a precaution
