Just rigged a cable from master test socket to router after spending 90 minutes on the phone to a disinterested tele op in Durban and the speed is the same also disconnected phone at cradle and made no difference, they did a line test which is ok so to me the house wiring is good, noticed today...

Diver Fred, the white with blue band is for the phone, the other phone wire in master box was for a phone upstairs which has not been connected for years. Secureiam, i did the wiring and copied what was there before i put the new master socket in, speed was rubbish before i changed master...

Thanks Gents, will have a look and see if it has any markings.

Afternoon all, Are different makes of 112mm guttering and 68mm downpipe interchangeable?

Thank You blup, Already have the paper which is Erfurt Mav so will carry on, it is going to be matt paint so that will minimise anything showing but will bear in mind the 2200 paper.

Stripped paper and wall was rough as anything, have filled holes and the areas where the layers of old emulsion has come away and sanded, will be putting up 1700 lining paper and painting and it is paste the paper not the wall stuff. Question is before i size the wall should i put a dilute coat...

That has signs of being pointed up before on both the existing crack and to the left on the bricks, it looks a different colour mortar, im not a builder but a diyer.

Bare in mind it can get very hot in the sun.

1st pic is showing roof overhang and black vertical is corner of shed, i am holding gutter out to show overhang, will have to see if gutter is not to far out if i attach brackets to battens or cut cladding around them as alternative.

Roof overhang is 3 inches and roof is covered with Coroline with old felt under.

Ha Ha,it was white when i got it so put the black on for a laugh.

Present wood is starting to rot in a few places but not letting in water,i thought that it was used more on the frame of a structure before outer face was fixed.

After getting conflicting answers from retailers regarding using soffit boards i am going to use upvc shiplap cladding which whilst expensive to do the shed i will not have to replace a few years down the line, a question though should i use a membrane over the existing wood or not bother? as...

John and Harry, Thanks for the info, iron pipes may account for it as i had a row with the wife over why the bath silicone always takes on a reddish colour so not perhaps when she dyes her hair, it is a hard water area but the only muck that comes through is sand which you can see in the...

Recently posted about what appeared to be a tap tail weeping on a bath, after trying new fibre washer it was still leaking and decided to replace the lot with compression fittings. Curiosity got the better of me so unsoldered the tap connector and found this, the pipe is 25-30 years old and is...

Fmt, am looking at some of those at the moment and working out costs.
