Did my shed last weekend, and clipped every 2 foot or so alond the house wall with no real problems. Corners are a absolute dog (or at least they were using 6mm 3 core SWA) - all you can do is put as tight a bend in by hand as you can before you try and clip it - and use extra clips to take the...

They seem to be everywhere though.... Bought the house last summer and been working to renovate the d*mn thing since - finally turning attention to the garden... Which in the meantime has gone wild... Everywhere I turn there are elder stumps and I'm worried there's some kind of network of the...

We actually did (spent was in regular contact with the fella who specialised in the supply of kit for music festivals etc etc) - but suspect they sent a bog standard one anyway :evil: But at least I'm on the path to enlightenment - so to summarise; a short duration overload wouldn't...

Been argueing about this with a mate of mine for some months now (and bearing in mind that neither of us are sparks) and we can't decide who's right Last summer at the festival that I help put on, we has an issue with one of the generators powering one of the big music stages. Basically every...

... That I've seen on here.... Does it work with any tree / tree stumps?? As I've got a problem in my back garden (bought the house last sumer, just finshed the insides, now turning attention to the gardens) - there are loads of old elder (I think it's elder anyway) stumps scattered across the...

Cheers folks - armed with that I went a huntin' and found this http://www.eternaltools.com/viewproducts.asp?txtRangeID=39&txtCategoryID=36&txtCategoryTitle=Diamond%20Drill%20Bits Fits the dremel and should be spot on... Seems to be perfect and the better half is happy... Might use the...

Evin' all, Megga random, but my better half has asked me if I have any idea about this - and I don't :? How on earth can you drill small (around 2mm) holes through quartz pendants (each pendant is about an inch long and roughly 1/3 inch diameter give or take) - she's wanting to be able to...

Ahh yes - My Dad's got a heart problem and remember him mentioning it way back when... Something to do with it being an indicator of heart trouble??? Phwew!! Started getting woried then.... :shock: So shocked I'm going to go for a nice cold can of carlsberg to calm down :wink:

The right one - the one that took the shock.... :( Now I'm getting worried

cheers for all the replies folks - I've loged it in the accident book, and have kicked off to all and sundry - my arm is stil aching 36 hours after the incident so if it'still like this tomorrow I may well pay a visit to the quacks for a check-over... If I make it through the night :o)...

Afternoon all, Got a minor problem with some works kit - got a fairly major jolt from a server rack at work yesterday (my arm's still aching over 24 hours later :( ) And it turns out the server rack itself has not been earthed - the rack was installed in 2003, so it's got an earthing...

Morning folks, me & my better half are finishing off the kitchen, and the time has come to treat the nice wooden worktops. We were originally thinking of oiling them, but since that's got to be done every 6 months or so (and we're lazy) we're looking at varnishing them instead.... But - the...

Dunno if this counts but I'm planning to have a central filestore server (once I can work out a way to sneak it out of the office - it's been decommissioned, just not formally scrapped just yet :wink: ) so all the PC's / laptops in the house (2 base units and 2 laptops) can share the same music...

Oooh - hang on - those colours you mentioned - I'm assuming you're talking about BT phone cable colours not cat 5 e cable colours??? And when it comes to connecting them to the patch pannel is it a simple case of 2 at the BT end to 2 on the panel, 3 to 3 etc etc???

OK - so if I understand it right, it will be: Panel pin 3 - RJ45 White (& Green) to BT 2 Panel pin 4 - RJ45 Blue (and white) to BT 3 Panel pin 5 - RJ45 White (and blue) To BT 4 Panel pin 6 - RJ45 Green (and white) To BT 5 if I connect from the panel to the back of the master socket (the bit...

Hi folks - this is getting me really confused and the missus is laughing at me (and to cap it all off Ive picked up injuries and dental pain so generally feeling cr@ppy... Anyway) When the house was being re-wired I took the opportunity to slap CAT5e wiring into all the rooms in anticipation...

Do'h!! Ok - Is there any way I can make it work without the need to get some soul up there for hours to sort it out (hence why I was looking at the quick and easy path :? ) It's either that or seal it up permanently - and I'm loath to do that in case I want a fire in the future, plus I want...

Leave them there - it will teach her a valuble lesson about the correct way to treat posessions; and also save you many hours of listening to Westlife, ricky martin, britany spears et al :twisted:

New year, and back at work so I've finally got access to the internet again :roll: The top of my chimney is rubbish - it appears to have been designed by the well know architects bodgit and gash, on a Friday afternoon. In the pub. Basically it goes almost vertically up from the...

Morning folks, Having a stair carpet installed on Friday so having to work fast to cure this: - My stairs creak like mad in certian places, there aren't any obvious gaps where I can hammer in some wedges to try to brace it, and I've already tried putting screws into the stair "top" (the bit...
