thanks! whatever it is - it makes me anxious about touching anything on this wall..... but it seems a door to replace the window shouldnt be a problem by the sounds of it! and yes this is a boiler flue....if anything however the max height of the door will actually be lower than a max height...

Here is an angle where you can see these tie rod things.....if that's what they are called!

lol - you know what i mean! i am used to lintels! there is not lintel....this is my point....i am worried about putting a door for this reason...... the tie rod you cant see it - but it's basically where the green arrow behind the pipe

just to clarify @Ronan Lang - which pipe do you mean sir? crazy to think a set of vertical bricks can support a door opening!

so i would basically keep the arch - and lose the lintel below the current window and a door can literally slot in?

Hi all I need some advice....If I want to turn the window to the side of my garden into a door is it do-able? there is only a lintel at the bottom....i can t see one at the top unless the blue circled section is counted as a lintel? its just vertical bricks.... the other concern is there is...

@Lucid thanks so much for that brilliant advice! unfortunately the tv's I have are rather old - 2009....so they dont have freeview HD. only normal freeview! so i might be better off staying put for now. sky Q will only come down in install costs over time @alan333 - sounds like a neat setup...

hi there I have sky plus hd and via co ax cables and magic eye whatever comes on in living room (main box) comes on it dining room and bedroom due to cables already under floorboard and run outside house I am contemplating Sky q but know it won’t come with the relevant ports at the back to...

the conservatory? is that the rules? my main concern at this stage is the man holes do you know why there are 2? thats my main concern as the circular one would be "inside" the new proposed side extension then how do you keep it accessible if its indoors i want to tile/vinyl the floor......

but do you know why there are 2? thats my main concern as the circular one would be "inside" the new proposed side extension then how do you keep it accessible if its indoors i want to tile/vinyl the floor......

do you know why there are TWO man holes though? the red shapes? i think the rectangle is the original and the circular is as a result of the shower room built around 20 years ago.....but not sure.... not even sure how i can find out? council have this information?

i did google it but they are all fancy side extensions with bi folding doors and clear perspex roofs that sit at 45 degree angles lol i just want to do the cheapest job possible lol but at this stage i just wanted to see if there were any massive barriers to this i assume planning permission...

hi all i wanted some advice as im keen to do a side extension...... PIC ON LEFT: F = felt flat roof - its a shower room at the back of the through lounge P = plastic roof set on long timber lengths pinned across and down Blue shape = my kitchen window / which i want to turn into an open door...

p.s assure you its cheaper and better. virgin broadband is much much better. sky tv is much much better. sky is used mainly for large array of foreign channels. virgin has all the footy. changing channels - sky - magic eye virgin - iphone app :)

Hi Lucid I'm not sure where all the skepticism comes from! I'm just a regular bloke who isn't techy but wants the better his viewing pleasure...but is also on a regular salary! I don't even know what a pricing exercise is lol In answer to your question, sorry i forgot to mention there is a...

thank you! seems simple enough . but remember i have tivo too! and freeview signal from lounge needs to reach dining room and bedroom too...... it does seem like it would work great tbh but i cant justify that much money at this time so would rather stick to the SD picture its not bad in grand...

maybe i misunderstood just how easy it is to use one of these then....lol can you please explain how it would all connect up? im not sure what ports are in this modulator if you can do in style as per below it will help me understand....which cables go where....... current setup is as...

yes its for specific programmes and it works out cheaper than having sky multi room when i do the maths i think i'll just keep it as is anyway it seems to much hassle. thanks for advice however :)

lol fair point. i only say because i am no electrician and the wardrobe fitter isn't either . so trying to avoid getting an electrician in!

do you think they come with standard plug connections however? as most lights i've seen require wiring in...
