Thanks JobandKnock. Yeh I dont think its solid, especially at that price.. I'll look into the hardwood lipped option although was hoping for the panel effect finish.. Cheers.

Hi All, I've got 4 non standard doors to replace. Not possible to change the frame to enlarge and use standard doors, so need to find a door that can fit. They are all 1900 * 710. Wickes sell a standard size door, 1981x762mm, but they say I can only take off 12mm in width and 12mm in...

Cheers chaps, Will use the drop from the top for each one rather than wreck the floor.

Hi chaps, I've got a house with solid concrete floors, on top of which there are standard width wooden planks screwed down into the concrete, on top of which is a carpet. All the sockets on the ground floor are currently spurs. I'd like to update it and get them all on a downstairs ring...

Hi RF Lighting, No the walls are not damp at all. Does the quality of the bit make a difference to the amount of stress the bit can take before it starts bending in the case that the body of the drill dropped whilst drilling? I'm pretty certain I did not do this, but will have to keep...

I have a HR2470 Makita SDS+ drill from ITSL http://www.its.co.uk/pd/HR2470-Makita-SDSplus-Hammer-Drill-Chiselling-Action-Cap-inside-_MAKHR2470.htm It came with a free Makita 17 Piece SDS+ Accessory Set Whilst using one of the accessory bits (the 8mm * 120mm drill) to drill into a brick...

Thanks gentlemen I think I have my answer! In the bin it goes and off I go to place an order for the Kreg R3. Cheers.

I've just bought one of these, but I'm having issues with it and thinking if it is due to getting a cheapy and not a trend or a kreg instead. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Silverline-868549-Pocket-Hole-Jig/dp/B000LFXJ8O/ref=pd_sxp_f_pt I clamping it to a piece of wood with a locking C clamp. The...

Thanks Dave. peterperfection - not heard of that site, but looks like a good price...I paid £144 for mine from toolstation. Will keep a look out on that website for any other deals. Cheers.

Thanks for the detailed response and advise Dave. I noticed that when I first got the drill and put it on charge, the fan on the charger came on but never went off whilst charging.. The battery was not hot yet the fan came on for the full 22 mins I left it on charge. Does this mean a...

Great thanks for the reassurance chaps. I'll stick with it and see how it goes. crank39 - I've also got an 18v hitachi drill/driver for just driving screws and it too stops dead when its time for a recharge.

I have just bought a Makita BHP452RFX 18V Combi Drill from Toolstation. However I’m now having second thoughts about keeping it as I’ve read in a few places now that Makita have a battery problem which they are refusing to admit. I am an occasion DIY user, and I’ve read if the battery is...

Hi all, I would like to install solid oak flooring in my living room. Currently I have a solid concrete floor and on top of this long lengths of pine floorboards have been screwed into the concrete floor. (Currently there is carpet on top of this) I would like to install 18mm solid oak...

Thanks Noseall. Will do just that. Cheers.

Hi all, I'm planning on installing thermal plasterboard on my internal walls to improve insulation. The old undercoat/skim has all come away from the wall, so I'm left with a bare brink wall to fix the thermal plasterboard to. The wall is sound. Do I need to prepare the wall before...

Great! Nice one. Thanks for the help. :)

Thanks Workers, Cool will go for the DT. Another quick question. I've decided that rather to just install a key RKP and mess around with the wiring in the existing panel, that I'd be better off having a new independent panel in the garage. the 9941 rkp cost £40, but a 9951 + 9941...

Hi Workers, Come to think of it, yes I'd like to add an internal sounder to scare them off. Where does this go on the panel? Why dual tech and not a normal pir? are they better in garage situations? Cheers.

Hi Chaps, I've got a scantronic 9751 panel with 1 rkp. I would like to alarm up an garage that is not attached to the property and would like to know how to go about doing so. I would like a second rkp in the garage so that it can be set independently from the main house alarm. The...
