What make is this dimmer? if it can be identified. Its a standard knob front.

I've just got one of these ere new fangled bent samsung tellys (sorry, curved telly). it was a bit of a rushed purchase as our old telly just stopped working after 8 years reliable service. I'm amazed that there appears to be no way to extract analogue audio from the telly to feed it into a...

Yes there's about 6-7ft between the edge of the house and the boundary. So plenty to play with in terms of locating the Services though while the excavation takes place access may become difficult!

Isn't this the same as what they do when you have a water search done on purchasing a house?

Seen those before, not a bad idea. Any reason I can't use a standard door bolt for cheapness? I know it'll look rough but the doors aren't exactly pretty.

In our new house we have a metal framed double glazed sliding patio door and I want to beef up its security. It is fairly old and solely relies on a single hook lock into the frame, with just a metal plate held in by one screw for the hook to go into. Not great. The lock is also upside down, and...

Would think this was due to fire regs so ceilings have a certain resistance to fire?

We are thinking of extending the back of our new (1950s) house. I'll rephrase that, the extension will happen, but I have a few basic questions. Our adjoining neighbours have extended in a similar manner to what we want to. It will be a full width single storey extension with concrete floor to...

Have you tried google? You could do much worse than visiting your local plumbcentre showroom.

In other news cutting those 2x2s flush with the floor has blunted my saw. Nails everywhere!

bottom of the stairs looking up to the landing the landing view of the string looking up looking down missed a bathroom pic another another Ok my worry with the stairs is with the string. The wall below it protrudes by about an inch. The wall is unnecessary and the area behind is an...

Sorry for the lack of pictures. Here goes. I've been to the house this morning to rip out the stair rail framework. Now I'm confused. Anyway heres some pretty pictures of bathroom and doors. . . The heating system is fully functioning and can be controlled by my phone thanks to the...

Your problem is that isn't especially deep. Certainly not deep enough for standard concrete to set right. Is that wood at the bottom of the trench? You'd need a good 4 inch depth. You could get away with strong concrete if you could get 3 inches. If you can get hold of a bit of rebar even...

No photos today but the bathroom is almost complete, disaster with the toilet though. The pan was sat in a relatives shed (he works for plumbcenter, not sure on what basis he acquired it!) And he ordered what he thought was the matching seat and cistern. They dont match. So he's going to fetch...

Its been a productive few days. Had the joiner in on saturday swinging some doors and banging some archi up. I've decided to do the skirting myself due to cost as its a fairly easy job on the surface of it. Going out tomorrow to buy a coping saw and a new blade for my olde manual mitre saw...

Have you tried googling? I'll bet theres many online suppliers of just what you want. B&q may also do it in smaller sheets. Could you veneer plywood yourself? A few clamps and glue.

My head has two cables into it. House built in 50s, cable is PILC. Head is fixed to an internal wall in the middle of my house, not adjacent to a neighbour. Floor is concrete, no indication where the cables go. YEB region, but I've seen many different methods used by them. My old house had a...

Today I finished digging chipping the living room floor magnesite off. I've only chipped the high points off, so I could make it somewhere near level. The hall has a couple of cracks in it but for the most part is level. The kitchen floor will probably get dug up when the extension is done...

I have stood them up in their respective rooms as upright as possible.
