Thats what my dads suggestions was. :roll: Old skool eh?

Good point.

I've got that but it wont be big enough for the board and string option (unless I rotate it 90 degrees). It will be fine for your solution securespark. Anyway, I've since found that the wires for this socket are fixed pretty solidly all the way down the wall from the socket to under the...

The brass cap on top doesnt seem to budge by hand - should it? Here's a pic of the valve from the top....

Hi I seem to have a very small leak coming from the top of this fitting (red arrow)..... The pipes run into the bottom of my hot water tank (on the right). I know the fitting should probably be replaced but I haven't moved onto plumbing yet (still learning about electrics!) and just...

Excellent! 2 very good ideas! Thanks guys. I'll see what I'm in for when I remove the old socket and take it from there. I haven't got any plasterboard to hand so I may not be able to use your board and string option FredFlinstone, unless I can use chipboard in place of the plasterboard...

In the end I took a sample of the wallpaper to Homebase and had a colour match done in Silk finish. Looks superb! Cheers all

Hi all OK, I've been reading up on this issue using this site and there's just 1 question I have unanswered.... I've got a double wall socket on a mains ring which needs to be moved horizontally by about 10cm. The move is needed as I will be fixing some bookcases to the wall and the...

This one?...... http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?id=30968

Sorry to re-activate this thread after such a long time but I have exactly the same problem as waterox. waterox, where did you get your dimmer pull switch from? If anyone has any recommendations for a quiet pull switch that would be much appreciated. Cheers

No, the pathway you can see is actually the pavement. A vehicle would have to mount the pavement to hit any of my fence. In a quiet cul-de-sac I think this would be unlikely. A good point nevertheless. Cheers ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Thanks for your input Thermo. So you're...

Yeah, I was thinking of using concrete posts - are they that much more expensive than wood? Also, seeing as they are pretty heavy I would definitely need to be putting them around 2 foot into the ground and I only hope I can get that deep without hitting any concrete linked to the pavement on...

Hi all ANOTHER fence post (no pun intended). Yep, the winds brought down my fence as well and whilst I am keen to put a new one up myself unfortunately it doesn't look to be the easiest of jobs. My main question is whether to do this myself or get a fencer to do it. If it was on flat soil...

[/url] Thanks for the link JohnD - so I'm not the only one :)

I think I understand. So effectively the pipe will be popping up a bit closer to the wall ( 2 90 degree bends underneath the floor). Then I would need another 90 degree bend to connect the pan to the soil pipe? The floor is cruddy old chipboard and due to a leak has gone soft, sunk and...

:( Is that a big/messy job? What are my other alternatives? Doing away with a close coupled pan and just renewing the Low Level?

Is it wise to use close board fencing for a sloped area then? Or staggered panels? Is there a big difference in cost?

Hi I'm following on from this issue a bit (http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=67667) but thought it needed a new topic really. I have the issue that I want to put a new WC in the downstairs cloakroom which currently has a low level system with a vertical soil pipe coming up from...

So dont i want an s-trap (which exits vertically) to match up the the vertical soil pipe coming through my floor?

Not that I'm questioning your experience but....P? Kinda contradicts this.... http://www.tubz.co.uk/toilet_cistern.htm
