Where the light is situated and the wires protrude there was no timber to fix too and therefore through time since we have moved in which is now 2 years it has slowly started to drop. The initial fix was just into plaster (or perhaps lathe / plaster) but certainly not into timber. I obviously...

Thanks for the suggestion - will look into it. And as regards being on the expensive side well I guess you get what you pay for. From previous comments of this post I intend to put it in the garage - was your in a garage or inside the home?

Thanks for the info - definitely worth factoring in given the cold weather we have and will undoubtedly experience in the future. Does anyone want to bring to the table a make and model they would suggest?

Hi all, I am in the process of sorting out my garage and would like to put in a stainless steel tall freezer. Stainless steel because of its durability and aesthetics just look better in a garage. It must be all drawers and with no fold down drawer compartments because I feel these tend to...

Hi all, I have increasingly noticed my hallway light coming away from the ceiling. When I put it up the ceiling was crumbly around the aperture from which the electricity wires come out of. How can I re-in force the area to ensure I get a good fix.

Hi all, I am been looking at my gas usage. I have used 1420m3 between 15.06.2015 and 25.01.2016 according to my meter readings. The days calculated between the two aforementioned dates is 225 days. Therefore my daily usage is averaging out to be 1420 / 225 = 6m3 per day. I live in a 1938...

Hi all, I eventually will be re-rendering my property once I have an extension done, roof and soffits replaced as then and only then does it make sense to get the rendering done. Anyways I have an unsightly bit at the front of the house. A combination of age, weather, deteriorated paint...

Just being cycled through the radiators too quickly and not allowing them to grab heat effectively from the circulating water.

Hi all, any ideas on how to fix this (see pics). When the flooring has been done it has been too tight to the unit and has since caused the laminate to "bow" outward as per picture. I feel the only way to put this right would involve making quite a mess unless someone has a bright idea. I...

I reckon its going round the system to quickly i.e. does not have time heat the property before being whisked away again.

Does anyone know how I can find out what the pump speed is currently set to? And how to change it if necessary. Kind regards, Gordon

Thanks for replies... clearly the multi-tool is not up to the job. Looks like I will need to get the big guns out. An excuse to buy more tools.

Hi all, I am looking to cut some slabs. They are basic garden slabs (76cm x 61cm x 5cm). Would I be able to cut them with the following multi tool or will it no be up to the job? http://www.makitauk.com/products/multi-tool/all-multi-tools/dtm51zjx7-18v-multi-tool-lxt.html If so which...

As for the enquiry about wet protective wear from Karcher here is the pricing I was given from the link suggested above... Classic Wet Work Protective Suit (L) £169.00 ex vat Advanced Wet Work Protective Suit (L) £249.00 ex vat Whilst I am sure these would be ideal that's quite a bit of a...

Good idea. I think just a boiler suit for inside would do. But doing quick DIY work outside in clement weather is where I want decent protection without having to change clothes.

Thanks for that. I have emailed them to see if they can supply and what price I can expect.

I dont think the Karcher attachment will work with the amount of mud that seems to be in this drain. The drain rods might be a good shout to break up whats in the pipe in the first place. I have been thinking about this... http://www.martinplanthire.co.uk/product/electric-drain-cleaner See...
