Hi, I have just finished all of the plumbing for my new bathroom. The shower includes a concealed mixer with a couple of outlets, one is a rainfall shower head and the other is a regular shower head. I have plumbed in the pipes for the two outlets and have clipped them in place and terminated...

Thanks, this was exactly what I was thinking. The speed of painting in this way means that I can afford to do 3-4 layers of paint. That way I can get a really good smooth surface. I think I am getting the hang of the spraying, but I was wondering about a few things: - Occasionally I get an...

I will keep this post updated on my progress. The fortunate thing for me is that I am doing the entire top floor. So I have covered and sealed all windows and masking taped everything. The issue I have right now is that the nozzle I was using was for large areas with thick emulsion. Putting the...

Hi, I have a squeaky joist which is really bugging me. I have taken the floor up in the appropriate area and believe that the offending joist has a little bit of play which is rubbing against the horizontal support of the partition wall that is above it. There are no big cuts in the Joist...

Thanks for the advice, having already completed 2 coats of paint with the sprayer though I am not finding it that difficult to do so I am keen to continue with the spray approach especially as it is so fast with such a nice finish. I managed to complete 3 rooms, a stairwell and hallway all in...

Hi, I am renovating my house and have just completed plastering all the walls. I have now filled and sanded any blemishes and put several coats of diluted white emulsion on them using my Wagner Spray Painting Machine and I am ready to paint the colour. I believe that it is best to use...

Amazing, thanks for taking the time to do that.

Does anyone have examples of such devices? Looking on ebay and amazon, it was difficult to see if the devices could measure power factor and real power. Great responses from everyone. Thanks so much for your help and insight. Jon

Here are the readings he got: This is what he said: As I have learnt from my Pioneer plasma TV at home the value quoted in Watts often does not state at what phase they are measuring it at! e.g. capacitive load verses inductive load and as we have more higher current inductive load...

Okay, the reason I am asking is that it sounds fishy but what would your reasoning be? Ignore the 0.5w stated by the manufacturer for a moment. Could a modern power supply that is cold to the touch still be putting giving a 35w reading?

Hi, I was hoping someone on here may be able to help me. My office is on a drive to be green and energy efficient. We are looking at the impact of unplugging laptop chargers vs keeping them plugged in. From internet research we have found that our modern laptop chargers go into a standby mode...

Think that is the answer then. Looking again I have found that the lowest position is about 10mm off the ground. I would guess therefore that I should take my tiles a reasonable distance back to the wall (maybe finish the tile off rather than cutting to size) and then once the floor is laid...

Nope - no kick plates.

Great tip. Would you always get it direct from a car body shop, or can you not buy it online? Any brand recommendations?

Hi all, I have purchased a load of bathroom units (sink, cabinet, toilet) from a large store. I have put the units together and I was expecting them to be fitted to the floor with no gap below them so that I can make a seal with the tiled floor. The furniture does however come with plastic...

I am referring to the two part stuff. What sort of duration would you be happy using the same tin? 1 year, 6 months, less?
