Just tried doing the same: Against Magnolia Wall, looks pretty white. These two against a newly painted white wall- not quite so white![/img]

Have a Veritas R8 installed at our property. We have recently erected a shed to the side which is used infrequently. If I add wiring and a sensor and make it a new zone, can I configure it so that it is alarmed all the time unless I unset it? I am guessing I could make it a "part set"...

You are right - I have recently fitted them against a white wall and they def. look off white. Didn't notice against the other neutrally coloured walls though.

If you want good quality white, I would use MK Logic Plus. I have always used TLC to buy my wiring accessories, but found toolstation slightly cheaper for my CU.

About to purchase a Nuaire Drimaster Heat to help out in a house that suffers from condensation. The instructions say that to maintain the warranty, it needs to be installed strictly in line with the instructions. The instructions state that it must be installed by a "qualified electrician"...

Thanks Freddy, I found a linked topic here: http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=204259 Which sounds quite a similar situation. So, it sounds this would be acceptable IF there is an escape route from every first floor room? Is that right? So, in those instances, as long as...

Thanks, Here are some very rough mods to our last plans which show current and proposed. Couldn't draw the stairs on very well but have indicated with an arrow. Sounds however that this would mean passing through a room at grd floor level which is not allowed. How would a door at the...

Our current stairs in our c1990 build house is in the normal position of being just inside the front door. There is a door to the left to a single room and a door to the right which takes you through a through lounge into the kitchen, conservatory, cloakroom etc. We will soon be extending on...

Stevie, looking for similar in same area. Are you able to send me details please? (I think you can send a private message through the site)

Thanks - All Fixed. It was the polarity across the +/- Voltage. Walk tested and I'm a happy man! :D

Thanks It's a "Electronics Line EDUS004MER0A Wired Mercury EL-100" PIR. Will double check the polarity later. Is there a test I can do with the multimeter from the panel end of the wire, to check the relay wires are connected properly?

I am trying to add an additional PIR to my system to cover a new room in my extension. I have wired from PIR location back to control panel. This will go as Z6 on my system. I have removed the loop jumper from Z6 and used white/red in here and also in the Relay / NC ports on the PIR end...

Thanks again. Regarding the alternatives- I have already tried solution 1 - the door is hanging there right now on a Wickes liner, but I'm unhappy with the look of it. I have used some plasterboard (temporarily to stop draughts in the cavity) in the reveals and it looks pretty bad as the lip...

Thanks for all the responses guys. I won't try and multiquote but a few points... - Yes the "depth" I guess is 300mm (318 to be precise) I phoned around several timber yards for softwood, all told me it would cost me an arm and a leg as it is non-standard. It's only a cut through a cavity...

Have never used one of these before but a need has arisen and trying to decide whether to hire one, or buy a cheap one.. (about the same price, but would the cheap one be up to the job!?) What I need to do is cut a couple of rebates out of a sheet of 25mm MDF (probably about 10mm deep)- it is...

I've gone for 2 x 610. Found I can get a solid and a mirror from Wickes at this width. B&Q only did the mirror at 610, but not the solid. Thanks

I have built the shell of a large wardrobe in one of our new rooms. The opening at the front is 226cm (h) x 118cm (w) Thinking of fitting sliding doors in there. Was a little unsure of sizing though. 762 seems to be a standard width, but this would leave an overlap of 34cm. Would this look...

Thanks for the advice everyone. I've been looking at lofty type things also for another property I have which has a condensation problem. Seem to have good reviews and good comments in the building section of this forum. I might go for a multi-room system. Not top job on the list right...

We live in a modern(ish) 3 bed house. We have an en-suite which has an extraction fan for the shower. This is in the loft and the ducting goes out to a vent fitted in the eaves. In our family bathroom, there is no ventilation at all. Now that we have a baby, we are using the room more and...

We will shortly be getting a mini digger in to remove 260mm depth of soil from our front garden. Majority of the area will have 150mm of type 1 down and a drive laid on top, but we will be putting a border around the edge (about 500 wide) for a Laurel hedge. I should add that we have ver...
