i'm putting some Coach screws into a 3x3 post and also a 45mm treated soft wood so the M8 will go through the 45mm softwood - and then into a 3x3 post whats the best pilot hole for M8 in the 3x3 - 6mm or 5mm and M12 will be going into the softwood 45 mm to mount heavy duty brackets A2...

yep, thanks i have all A2 coach screws i decided not to bother with the tilting brace - I purchased some flat coated brackets https://www.toolstation.com/dual-coated-heavy-duty-flat-connector-plate/p14127 So i will standoff the same as the wood i use for the baricade and notch it so its very...

no, you get a 3week warning apparenty - BUT i'm 69 now and only getting older - hopefully will be shinning up ladders well into 80's

yep, it takes a CR123 battery - and figures suggest somethign like 8mth to a year - depending on how well the solar panel does - NUT that wil be pointing south - although probably in shadow after 2ish

THANKS Saturday - i had a go i put the centre piece in and it went well - BUT the top one all twisted - so decided i would mout with 2 coach screws each side - 100mm M8 - which i only purchased Sunday I will be mounting the diagonal 95x45 wood across the 2 posts and each end will now have M8...

what else is on that lighting circuit - any outside lights - with all the rain - water will cause that or are you saying the circuit is just 1 light to the mcb - 1 cable only to the light rose and switch

Excellent - will probably have a go tomorrow - WOW thank so much

thanks for the quick reply ok, simple as that in fact thats made me think again - i can just put block on each post and a straight bracket and then the brace just drops over that and will stop side to side as well as back and forth - or as you say just drop in some how - happy about that...

i'm adding a very heavy 42.4mm galvanised black steel pole - mounted on a fence post - thats in ground with metpost the post is 2m High I have 3 brackets - 1 will be at the bottom of pole and the pole sits in it - the other 2 are brackets for the pole to pass through - so in that 1m length...

i have the Dewalt angle grinder and use a 5Ah on that , doesnt last long ,, i havent really tried my 2Ah on - or if i did it didnt work very well I cut a load of coach bolts on a fence and i think i got 10min run time cutting about 16 bolts

if they are now able to moved forward a bit - then maybe a T22 what is the rad you have now a T11, 21, 22 ???? I got loads of different btus from sites = right or wrong i kept to the https://www.bestheating.com/btu-calculator it they have been really good , maybe they are over the needs of...

is this a partition wall or has it got some kind of a brickwall behind and has just been battened out and paster boarded ? rather than dot dab - OR a dividing partition

i was talking about the caps that go onto the valve where the radiator tails fit on have you checked the BTU on what size you need ? i have fitted all 3 types in the house , based on size , BTU and matching existing pipework look at the screwfix rads and download the instruction PDF - that...

you can buy extension tails and cut them down , from screwfix or toolstation - i have done this a few times when replacing old imperial radiators i also downloaded the install info off the screwfix site and worked out how far out the rad centre would be - and on 2 rads i added some wood to the...

i had the same situation where the cable came out of ceiling into the old flouresent light i did use TLC to replace GLBATSCW5 5ft 22/41W LED Tri-Colour (CCT) Batten but i dont think diynot allows to link anyway - this is 5' they have 4' GLBATSCW4 -they have brightness and colour temp...

6 ways to the pendant , rather than 1 connection - so needs 7 way , and for the neutral in/out and 6 way = 8 hence 10way suggestion, which i was going to suggest form TLC , but not sure if they would fit in the void in the pendant or have to be used , pushedinto the ceiling void and so needs a box

sorry - yes, mixed up the way round

no your diagram now does not look right - you are joining all the brown wires together NOT correct see the diagram with 3 connector blocks all separate - is effectively what you need , with the end 2 connections 2 shown as lamp = the 6 switched live and 6 neutral you also need to put the...

its already wired like that - is this the new pendant you want to add or what is the picture ?

to me it looks like this diagram from flameport - a member here - taken from website - https://flameport.com/electric/lighting_circuits/lighting_ceiling_rose_looped.cs4 - simple diagram showing the ceiling rose - so cna you confirm tats what you have - the image is not 100% but what i can see...
