Hey Guys Not really a home DIY, but it is a DIY fix non the least. I purchased some Jabra Bluetooth headphones for the stepdaughter. Somehow one of the headphones came off the headband. Either they are not well built, or they got stood on. Anyway. I am wanting to fix them as the everything...

Hey. This is an interesting way of doing it. I was thinking of rotting mine into the fuse box in the car and getting a direct fused feed from a spare slot.

Hi Guys. I have a Baxi 105 HE. We have an issue where the boiler doesn't come on for the hot water. It does come on when you turn both the basin and bath taps on to full flow. I assume there is a flow valve/switch that detects when the water is flowing. My questions are: 1. Where is it on the...

Sorry for such a delayed response. I got distracted with other "projects" - The wood wall etc. So i am working on this again. I will definitely be going with BS en 60238 Oh my, that took me back to my physics lessons and the stuff I forgot for becoming a white-collar worker. This prompted me...

I considered that, and I think they will be coming as the Stepdaughter randomly decided she wants to grow plants from seeds and to have them mounted on the wall. I also have the task of making some rustic light fittings...

I considered screws, but then others pointed out the screw heads would show too much, especially if the sun hit them. So small nail heads were the better aesthetic fit.

Sorry for such a delayed response. I got distracted with other "projects" - The wood wall etc. So I am working on this again. A lot of the Braided cable online is 0.75mm rated at 3Amps. Is this good enough? Decisions: 1. Lamp holder - I will definitely be going with BS en 60238 as...

I've never tried the power wash. I have a load of left over stripped planks, as well as about 8 pallets :whistle:. I might experiment with some of the boards and wash them. The next DIY job for the wood is a maybe kidney shaped 1m x 2m ceiling covering with nylon sheathed black cables and...

Thanks for that, i will have a look into it. I know it certainly helps with splitting ends. :D

It did, then immediately got in the dog house for making dumb comments lol. I have opportunities to add more points when i put the copper pip plant hangers on it. lol I had to google that lol. I did ask for my own stuff on it too - i was swiftly declined! I thought of washing them, then...

I get you, when i told friends about this, they where a bit taken back too. I did a bit of research on how it may look, and the mrs (the boss) felt it was nice. She seems very happy lol. I think it is okay because this is a flat with a large lounge area. I would have prefered the walls to be...

Here is the new forum topic.. Reclaimed Pallet Wood Wall Thanks again for all your help! Now lets pray it holds to the wall!

Notice the sticking out plank next to the lamp? that is where the satellite cable is - it is too deep. I need to get a L shaped F-type cable for it, it will then sit flush. 11 3 Left to do: 1. Edging strips - probably a darker rose wood type of strip. 2. Sealing the wood - Lintseed oil...

Around the socket area i wanted to keep it accessible. Initially i wanted to use a dowel peg to hold on a plank of wood, unfortunately my carpentry skills are crap, so managed to get one to fit perfectly, the other just drove me to frustration. So i decided just to have it slot in and use a...

This is the bank of sockets, initially i was assuming the cables had been drop strait down from the ceiling to each. A forum member suggested the sockets may connect to each other in between. He was right. It dropped down to one, went across the 3 sets, then back up on the last one. Once...

Hey Guys. So I did have a question up on another part of the forum and uploaded content and pictures there. But i have decided to start a new thread, to make it easier to see and see my mistakes. Here goes. The Mrs wanted to change the flat, and have a space for her plants where the cat does...

Update: I finished the wall. In the process of writing up on the Projects forum, so will upload pics there. I did notice one of the battons (the bottom screw) was loose, i think when i have been banging the nails in (in absence of a nail gun), i may have hit it loose. i am HOPING this was the...

Not your cup of tea? Dont worry, its not been stained yet. I just have to work out if i should do boiled linseed / danish mixed or the oil mixed with stains. Although the Mrs is happy with it.

So I started on the wall yesterday. Put the 5 batons up. I have placed 5 screws in each baton, some with dry wall plugs, some with wall plugs into the breeze block. It seems string enough. I guess i will find out once its complete. I feel really confused about how they have constructed the...

Great! I will look into it today.
