    Conduit cable exit

    Hi, just a quick question. I'm setting up a external wireless IP camera, which requires 5v power. As I don't have a socket close, I need to run it in conduit. This will come from inside the garage and up about 1.5m and exit the conduit. I will be feeding it directly through the wall in...

    Home CCTV camera

    Hi Sarah, thanks for posting! Do you have any pictures of camera footage? Just to see the quality. Also, which DVR card did you get? As I will definitely be using one, as I have a custom build high end system which is on 24/7 anyway. Cheers, Adam

    Home CCTV camera

    Hi guys, thanks for the replies, very helpful! I would like to avoid IP cameras, mainly due to the cost. I don't think using a USB webcam would cut it enough to be honest, and really would like to go for the type of camera I linked to in my original post. Can anyone link me to a better...

    Tape and Jointing

    Ok thanks, I just didn't think that butting up 2 square edges would be that easy to tether out, as I thought it would help with a little gap. Yep I will be using proper drywall screws I have got from on site! Thanks for all your help mate, no doubt I will find more questions to ask you...

    Tape and Jointing

    Thanks. This part which I am on about having to join 2 square edges will be for the bottom of a pelmet around the outside of the ceiling, which will house down lights. The joins will only be about 20"s at max, not the entire board. You said to teather the join out, so I am assuming I will...

    Tape and Jointing

    Another quick question mate! When I join boards horizontally, do I just make a chamfer on both boards where the square edge is? Or do I just leave about 2-3mm between the boards? Then scrim and fill as normal? I'm on about where the green line is. Cheers Adam

    Tape and Jointing

    Thanks. Do you know where I could buy jointing knifes from other that Screwfix? As they only sell 4" and 6" blades, and I can't find any on the Wickes website. I plan on doing this in the next few days, so don't really want to order one online and wait to receive it, especially with...

    Tape and Jointing

    Cheers for the help mate! I have afew other parts in the room to do, but I will try and make sure taper edge meets another taper edge. If one meets a square edge, should I just surform it down at an angle? Cheers Adam

    Hi guys, looking to do a small amount of Tape and Jointing in a bedroom. A quick few questions. I will be using tapered edge boards, but there will obviously be joins where a tapered edge meets a square edge where a board has being cut, I was wondering if I still go the same way about...
