Thanks Chunkytfg, I did see that when browsing but it’s a bit bulky for what I need.

I’m looking for an outdoor socket that is large enough to accept a transformer plug for a water feature. Unable to locate one so would appreciate advice on this. Thanks

Mains voltage JohnW2

Chivers67 at the moment I’ve ran SWA from CU to the back of the house to an external weatherproof box. I’ve also ran SWA from this box to each point in the garden where the lights are to be fitted. I’ve earthed the armour at the CU end so far. So, to answer your question, I do plan to terminate...

Sorry JohnW2 I meant LED.

I plan to have 4 low voltage garden lights supplied via 1.5mm swa which will be switched from inside the house. I have already ran swa from CU to suitable outdoor box which i will terminate and connect 1.5MM T&E and bring through wall inside house to a switch. I have already earthed the armour...

Cheers. Thanks for the info. Did the blade last for all the cuts?

Did you use a continuous diamond blade? Also, what was the thickness of tile you laid?

Thanks for the reply Mike. I’m also a DIYer and I know what you mean about the mortar usage. You said you used a 5 inch grinder to do the cuts? Was there any splintering along the cut? I’m looking at leaving the all my cuts till the end and the possibly hiring a water fed table saw but they are...

Thanks Foxhole. I thought it maybe a bit heavy duty. So persevere with the sander? Any advice on the application of the oil?

Hello I’d like some advice please on a solid woode kitchen island worktop that I’d like to sand and oil. I had it installed about 12 months ago and it was oiled and sanded when it was fitted but feel it’s time to redo it. I have a square plate orbital sander and a tin of osmo oil. I tried to...

Thanks . But I’m after paving slabs?

Thanks for the reply. I would think you would have to lay it on a full bed of mortar and with the right mix of mortar would have thought it wouldn’t drop when set. Anyway just looking at alternatives to porcelain but will take your comments on board when deciding

Thanks for the advice. Can you elaborate on the issues they had trying to level it? I would have assumed that if the base was laid level and sound then there wouldn’t be any issues? Thanks

Do you mean slate paving slabs?? Or slate that comes in little pieces used around borders etc? Thanks for your help

What price range am I looking at for skate?

Anywhere between £30 and £50 per sq mtr. Do you think slate will be ok to suppress the algae/moss growth?
