I have a periodic inspection report stating "low IZ reading on neutral to earth on D/S lighting circuit although above minimum set by 17th Ed Regs. I know this means its safe, according to 17th Ed, but what does it actually mean in english!!? :)

I've discovered the problem with the drainage on our back garden...About 3 ft of MOT, underneath the usual new-build garden of soil/turf mixture of clay, mortar, and broken house bricks... Joy... :shock:

I was just having that same eureka moment actually...I guess a sky box does the job of a boosted splitter, so was thinking about getting a 2-way to wire in at the lounge - aerial coax in, return out to loft, 2nd out to tv. And hopefully job done...! :)

Thanks for your replys. I can not connect the aerial direct to the amplifier, without running the cable a different route. Basically, all cabling was installed prior to our move in. The aerial cable comes direct from the aerial, through the wall (chased in), and down to the lounge. the...

Hello, We've moved into a new house which is wired for Sky+ (but we dont want it). So, we've had a high gain aerial fitted for standard Digital freeview. From what I can gather, I have 4 cables terminating in the lounge: 1 from the roof Aerial. 1 Return feed to a 8 way loft...

Cheers bud, think you're right...They've gone overkill on them though, as they are present throughout the entire course, not just over the lintels/trays! Mind you the house is quite exposed... Must be technology moving forward, my old man just used to poke a screwdriver in the mortar after...

Hello... Been AGES since my last post...nearly forgot my details!! Anyhow, we've just moved into a new build and erm...I'm confused about something! I have noticed a number of small hexagonal shaped plastic insert all around the exterior of the house. I They are hollow in the middle...

Lath and Plaster!! Thats it, I really couldn't remember what the technique was called, just remembered it was old...Wattle and daub is the cow muck and lime/straw mix right!!? :oops: Thanks for the useful replies...the property is 300 yrs old but IS NOT listed - have just heard back...

Sorry MODs, this was supposed to be in PROJECTS!!! Please move! :oops:

Howdy... Netto has a Renovation...but where to start...!? Ok, 1st floor is the bug bear, partitioned using standard plasterboard stud walls, ceiling a mix of plasterboard and wattle and daub (I think - although the daub looks like normal plaster!). I want to rearrange the layout upstairs...

Howdy. Nearside rear brake shoe has come off inside the drum. I cant see any grub screws to dismantle the drum, so I assume you have to remove the whole hub from the axle to get access...? Is this right!? I tried GENTLY to leaver it off with a large flathead screwdriver, no joy, so I...

Yes, the one I bought... :wink: There were a selection of other taps designed for this range too, and it is one of those I shall be exchanging for ... :roll:

the store i got the basin from said that the tap I hap was the most compact - so I did a 30 second search on t'interweb last night and found one in a diferent style - same size yes, but different mechanism, therefore better suited to the basin/position... :wink:

Think I'm going to go for a single lever tap, the ones where the lever is in the top of the tap...that would solve the issue... Don't like their design, but don't have much choice! And I don't like bodging things if I don't have to... :( [/img]

Will try and upload one tomorrow chap...thanks... will try to explain again though - The corner basin fits snugly into the corner, and has a single tap hole (deisgned for those single spout tap things) in the rear corner. When I put the tap in, however, the handles for hot/cold come into...

Evenin all... Another Netto problem - I've just finished fitting out my sparkling new en-suite, but have notice a small problem with the corner basin I have just fitted... It sits in the corner nicely, until I put the tap in... :roll: To get the taps in nicely, and free of the two...

Nice one, cheers!! :)

I'm tiling the flor of my ensuite, but haven't got a clue how to finish it off in the door way leading to the carpeted bedroom - there is a slight hight difference.. Is it acceptable to use a modified carpeting door bar, or is there a specific device made for this task!!? ta... Netto :)

Wowsers, this must have foxed a lot of people... :roll: Well, I put an undiluted coat of PVA on first, followed by a 2:1, then a 5:1, and touch wood all is now ok ... I guess this wall just needed a lot of PVA!! Will update when the paint goes on... :wink:

Hmmm...Are you sure you do not want to go all the way and install it properly? Just thinking as when it comes to sell your house, you will have to tell prospective buyers that it can not be used, and this (although minor issue) may well put them off... I know working solid fuel fireplaces are...
