The Philips Hue bulbs will do what you want but generally Hue ecosystem does tend to be pricey. I have bought these from Shelly and am really happy with them: https://shellyuk.com/shop/shelly-range-all-items/lighting/shelly-duo-gu10/ They are white-only, but the white goes from 2700K-6000K...

My latest idea is to forego a regular timber-framed door and doorway and install two sliding glass doors https://www.eclisse.co.uk/vetroglide-minima-sliding-glass-door-system/ This picture shows the look I'm going for: As I'm replacing existing regular doorways is it as simple as ripping...

I've just succesfully drilled a lovely 125mm hole through the house wall. I've just realised that my 125mm is not enough room to fit the 90-deg push fit elbow ( https://www.screwfix.com/p/floplast-push-fit-92-5-single-socket-bend-black-110mm/70115 ) that I wanted to run my soil pipe along the...

If you're kitchen supplier is one of the main ones, then I think the answer may be "no" and thinking about what you want to do - you'll lose 50mm from each end, which isn't negligible Regards Tet

I'd agree with you and wouldn't use it as a temporary measure. I was proposing that you consider it as the roofing material for your extension, buy a sufficiently sized piece and fit loosely now and effectively recycle it as the roof for your new extension when its built Regards Tet

I'm a bit of an EPDM fanboy, but if you choose EPDM you could buy your final material now as a complete covering, fix it in place temporarily and then refix it permanently when you get round to replacing the roof. In my experience all paints seem to fail at some point. I have used several on a...

I did this a few years ago on a B&Q kitchen. Cutting down the internals wasn't difficult, but I abandoned the idea of recreating all the locking cams and just screwed it tight (you can't see it anyway. My main problem was sourcing the right door. I couldn't get a 200mm equivalent so I actually...

This sounds like fun. Is there enough play in the pipework for you to lay the rad down flat, fill, bleed and then refix? Regards Tet

Not an expert but my understanding and experience of an approved PD Lawful Development Certifiicate is as follows: QUESTION: Can I include the area to the front of my property (up to boundary) in this calculation & also the areas at both sides? My curtilage calculation was expressed as the...

Is this stuff genuinely better than Down Corning 785?

Apologies for trhe hijack

Where is the best (read: cheapest) place to buy wago connectors? I don't mind buying in the tens, but I don't need hundreds Regards Tet

I'm not sure if this belongs here or somewhere else as there are Insulation, electrical, ventilation, aesthetic and other considerations all rolled in. This is the layout (subject to planning approval) and this my idea to remedy the uninsulated original building: The UFH is already done...

That would be an early IKEA hangemhi Regards Tet

How can an inanimate object retain and spontaneously transmit unmeasurable energies? This is so ridiculous that it's misaligned my charkras. Now what am I supposed to do? Regards Tet

I'm 58 and last year I shifted 6.5 tons (8 bulk bags) of MOT about 20m up an inclined drive in less than six hours on my own. My biggest impediment was getting the stuff out of the bags into the wheel barrow. I wanted to keep the bags but ended up cutting them open to expose the MOT. Once you...

I'm planning to eliminate all window boards and replace with quartz. You can get offcuts at a reasonable price and there are no knot or moisture problems to worry about. In my experience all wooden boards get damaged and/or discolour - in my previous house I oiled and stained either hardwood...

25 part-completed - that sounds about right!! Mrs Tet says "only 25? - you sure you two aren't related?" eBay repotting. That might just work.......that's what I need, another project Regards Tet

Has anyone built their own gabion baskets I'm looking to build a gabion wall 2m x 0.8m x 0.3m (HxWxD) to fill a gap. I was wondering what the most cost-effective method of making this was. It would appear that many of the ready made baskets are supplied flat packed and are virtually diy anyway...

Err.....yes, exactly that. I fully accept that it may appear weird but I don't mind buying excess solid materials, whether flat or linear as they are permanent and (mostly) find a use somewhere down the road. The smooth side of the ply sheets would/will make an excellent workbench surface for...
