I see, i will do that. I wonder if you can buy smaller tubs of the dye. I can buy a mix then. I was only planning on using Linseed oil as i already have a 1 litre bottle up north i can bring lol.

I didnt plan to put screws on level with the sockets any where along the wall. I just dont like the idea of the messy repair after. I will definitely check before i start.

It looks good. Why did you choose Danish oil? Can any stain be used? I was originally hoping to use the original colour of the pieces, but once sanding i have realised its too light. I did contemplate wood stain.

Hey JobAndKnock Thaks for the detailed response. Thanks for the re-assurance and iw ill take on board the Linseed oil advice. Previously when i did it, i used the disposible cloths you get from supermarkets, then washed it before throwing it.

Hey guys. My partner moved into a new build apartment a while ago. She's asked me to do "something in the lounge where there is a 8m stretch of wall. The height is the standard 2.4m. I've decided to use reclaimed pallet wood to clad a 2.6m wide by 2.4 meter high area in the middle of the...

Cool The original cable i laid i left on top of the insulation. Thining it may heat. - of yeah if i drill through the joists then by default it will end up in the insulation. So no drilling! I just thought, what about all those insulation companies that come and probably end up covering...

Thanks Spark. Shall i just put the extra effort in to drill through the joists when i re route?

Hi All. Thanks for the info so far. So i maybe on a winner. A friend of mine had some left over cable from his works. I am hoping it is enough to run between the CU and where the isolator switch will go (i should find out soon), so i can just cut the original cable to ensure i have enough...

Hey thanks for that. I can certainly make it accessible, it will be in the loft. But what is correctly? What sort of connector? Thanks

Hi all. Thanks for your responses. Unfortunately the area where the shower will be has already been plastered and tiled. So won't be able to pull through. The electrician said 10mm because it's an 10.5kw shower and the length of the run. Hi yes. He came and checked. . ---------------- I...

Hi guys. I am putting an electric shower in but getting someone qualified to do the electrics either side. I am just feeding the wire through from one end to the other. The problem is, I bought a 15m role of 10mm. I have put the wire through the loft and it's just enough, but not left...

So I gave up on it. Anyone want it for repairs? Would be an awful shame to add it to a landfill

Hey. Thanks for the reply. This is the first thing I checked. They are in perfect condition. I even checked there activating the switches correctly. Which they are

Before chucking it, i would check the internal fuse. IF you decide to open it up, where the wire comes in there will be a little circuit board, you will notice a fuse on there. If you have a multi-meter check it with the continuity tester. They only cost a few pounds for a pack. If that...

Hi Guys. So i have a sainsburies microwave. One of those premium ones that do defrost etc. It even has a colour screen. Anyways, so a while ago the Mrs went to put something in to heat and it switched off when she closed the door. Symptoms: Every time we close the door the internal fuse...

Unfortunately i already explored the option of adding a spur to the ring main. Nothing that i can access. Also, my parents just had a new kitchen (Only room next to the area) installed so wouldn't be too happy if i pulled at the cabinets lol. The plug i dont think is a 13 amp. Its a grey...

Hey All. Apologies if this is a bit of a crazy question. I bought my parents a Dyson handheld vacuum. Looking at a location to mount its charging port, i can only think of 1 sensible place that is handy and convenient. The location has no power socket however, does have a Light bulb just above...

Hey Martyn. Thanks for the response. To be honest I didn't think give enough weight to the weather issue. I'll definitely bare that in mind. I've roped in a friend to pop by to lend a hand. Do you think having the piece of wood slightly bigger than the fence panel will help? Luckily I've found...

Hey Guys. I have a garden that currently has wooden fencing. Over time, weathering and lack of maintenance have made a majority of it come down. I have decided to do a DIY job on it. I want to install a concrete posted fence with wood panels. Dimensions: Length 570 cm (between house and...

Are these safe? : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Edison-Vintage-Lamp-Light-Base-Socket-Holder-for-E27-E26-Screw-Bulbs-110-220V-/381842512640?var=&hash=item58e7965b00:m:mFlA0CA51kuIagGbf4dJlnw They say that have a hard paper inner socket? I have seen some ceramic socket ones but they are far more...
