    Hi all, I have a well and am considering putting a pump down it so that I can actually draw water from it. The well isn't that deep (about 6m) and I am wondering if anyone can suggest an appropriate setup? I was thinking of a solid copper pipe running down to a pump that runs up to a...

    Type 1 or Type 3 MOT

    Hi all, I'm nearing the end of a renovation and am starting to think about external landscaping and the drive. For cost (and character) we will be putting down a gravel drive - should I be putting a Type 1 or Type 3 MOT base down below the gravel? We have a well in the middle of the drive and...

    Thanks - easy to find these things online when you know the correct terms! I don't think Wickes sell them with the top trim... should I be going to my local timber yard for this instead?

    Best *current* AV distribution system reqire - Triax DDU or not...

    Thanks for that - we mainly watch online content and stream media from my home server /online so I think that's the correct way to go (i.e. no return). We've struggled to get the wires in that we have already put in - wiring a 1770 timber frame cottage is surprisingly hard without being...

    1 gang flush paintable blank faceplate ??

    Thanks for the tip re sanding the front - the faceplate(s) are actually to house a thimble temperature sensor that will be located either on ceilings or high up on a wall. We want to make them as discreet as possible hence the hunt for a blank faceplate we can blend in to the surrounding...

    1 gang flush paintable blank faceplate ??

    Many thanks - although having checked the website they are extortionate for what they are! Are there not any cheaper ones available? I may just have to buy some "normal" blank plates and paint them!
