Why do I not understand how digital/binary 10101010's get transferred along a cable and they either get there or not just because I own an expensive cable? I agreed in my earlier post that there is no difference betwenn my £50 and £10 leads. But I don't think people should but the cheapest...

I have quite an expensive (£50) QED HDMI lead and its really no better than another one I got for £9.99 But a £2 lead...... I don't think I'd spend much less than a tenner on a lead to connect a £1000 TV to a £200 Blu Ray player!

Thanks. It sprays everywhere and has a good pressure behind it! Doesn't taste as nice as downstairs though!

Is the cold tap water in the bathroom up to drinking standards? Really what I want to know is.. Does it come straight from the supply or does it come from a storage tank in the attic or something? I realise that you have the hygiene issue with being in the same room as the toilet!

Thanks for your detailed advice. The floor was a concrete floor layed about 1950 when the house was built. It is a shed about 3 foot from the house. We had the floor screeded just to level it up as the concrete was very bumpy with large scalpings. The ceiling was plastered and electricity...

Hi, I am tiling the floor in an out building and want some advice on adhesives. The floor has had a new concrete screed put down. There is no damp course in this outbuilding but it has no visable signs of damp or water. I am using ceramic type tiles. In the past I have used a BAL flexible...

If you have got time and the know how to drain some of it out I would give it a go. My local garage charges £150 plus a full tank of fuel to do this. 4 litres out of 70 doesn't seem that bad (6% petrol) but I think if it was me I'd pay my garage rather than take a gamble!

I know this is an old post but I want to add some relevant info that will help others with this problem. Firstly I found this post and I followed the instructions and I managed to open my bonnet. To get the male and female sections of the star back together I removed the lock and the...

Just want to say that I couldn't get my Ford Focus bonnet open. I found this thread and the info in it was brilliant. I followed exactly what it said and opened my bonnet. http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1390135#1390135 Thanks.

Thanks chaps!

Hi, Has anyone got any novel ideas or tips that make grouting a tiled floor less messy? Such as something on the lines of those things that put icing on cakes? At the moment I mix up the grout and apply it into the gaps with a spreader and use my finger to give it some shape. I do about a...

I was recommended BAL on here when I did my bathroom floor. I have no experience with tile adhesives and just rely on you guys to tell me what to buy. I guess the main ingredient cement, is cement at the end of the day.
