Fingers crossed all OK so far.. here's hoping the winter continues to be so

Does anyone know a supplier for brown coloured electrical cable? I'm wanting to wire in some outdoor lights and would prefer for the cable to blend into the bricks as much as possible. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply Ken think I followed most of it. I can sort the light, the timber is dry now would it need any treatment? The decorating will definitely be down to me, I'm too OCD with the finish to allow anyone else to do it ha! What's the cove you refer to and noggin? So looking at the...

A few weeks ago we had serious water leak into our kitchen, bad enough to need a wheelie bin to catch the downpour during rain, (I posted separate threads for this issue in other forumson this site basically I'm sure it was caused by water penetrating brickwork/mortar and running down the inside...

May well have to in the end.

Lmao yes one person before. Never seen the show

One of the mesh ones? Thats all I can find but cant see a mesh guard doing anything with regards water and wind

I dont think much comes out of them weep holes to be honest. The flashing was all replaced but followed the original cut out in brick and was sealed with lead mate. Do you think on the house build that the weep holes were placed correctly, look at the picture attached they seem a brick lower...
