Yes I suppose every building and situation is different and one inconsiderate neighbour can spoil the peace for everyone else. Difficult to do any checks as the flats are not occupied yet. I suppose pets are allowed I never asked that, hopefully no constantly yapping dogs near by. I...

I hope this is the correct section as I could not find a more relevant website. I am currently looking to sell my property as it is too big for me and the gardens are big and require a lot of hours spent on them that I do not have as I work long hours at home. I was thinking of buying a...

Thanks a lot Rob. I have it working again now. I am still very pleased with this CCTV system. Regards.

Rob, if you are still around. I had to re-install windows xp and service pack 3 onto my PC but HEM player is no longer in my programs menu for some reason. I did not download it before it was just there. I have searched on Google but there does not appear to be a download available. Can...

Lancenotalot, Thanks for the reply, I have read every word on the back of the bag and it does not say about drying times hence posting here. jefoss, d/h.

How many days before I can walk on the floor tiles I laid this morning without disturbing the them? I used 'Cerafix trade' ceramic floor tile adhesive 20KG, powder.

When you say do it piecemeal what do you mean, use an adhesive that takes longer to go off? The solid floor is slightly uneven, can I use a liquid latex like this one? http://www.transtools.co.uk/store/prod_3354/sealants-and-adhesives/builders/level-master-liquid-latex-5-litre.html

Thanks for the reply. Yes it is a solid floor, just under 4 square meters. I do have a score and snap type cutter that I used to tile the bathroom walls so will try that before I upgrade and buy anything else. I always enter and leave my property by the back door and so do visitors, so...

I am going to lay 300 x 300 brown porcelain tiles to an indoor porch. The tiles are 9.5mm thick. The area is 1.2 meters by 3.2 meters. I just read the sticky above but want to make sure I have understood it all. I will use a powdered fast drying adhesive like Feb fastset 5kg. Use 4...

Thanks for the replies. I like those electric curtain tracks, how much were they? I would need one set for Patio doors and one other window. But for 2 of the rooms a timer lightswitch would be perfect. Is his the type of thing...

When I am away from home I have timers which I use to turn a couple of lamps on and off at the chosen times but I would really prefer my ceiling light to come on as I think this looks more like someone is at home. I have heard a couple of times recently that some people set their ceiling...

Thanks for the replies. I telephoned BT and signed up for "Privacy at home" which is free. I am looking for a new telephone to buy that has a screen to show who is calling but I understand I wont be able to bar with held numbers unless I pay £3.91 a month to BT. I was hoping the new...

I am still using a Telephone which has not LED screen so I cannot see who is calling or any missed calls. I would like to update my Telephone to see the numbers of all the missed calls I have received when I am out but would still like a corded phone and do not want an answer machine. I...

I am grateful that I was steered away from buying a CCTV system from Maplins. But you have to start your search somewhere, for me it was Argos, Maplins and then after posting on this board I was told about buying direct from China. I was cautious at first as I had never bought off ebay before...

Fantastic! Thanks so much.

Rob thanks very much for your help. I appreciate it. I had downloaded VLC mediaplayer and Quicktime 7 but cannot get them to play my files. I followed your instructions and logged in and downloaded vcredist_x86.exe and setup.exe and then installed them to my PC. I also needed to install...

I have a neighbour that is a real pain in the neck. She complains when I am working outside building a wall or laying slabs. Last year I took a window out and cut out bricks with a petrol grinder so that I could fit a door on the side of my garage and she moaned about the dust. So I was...

Thanks for your help Rob. I have it set up as I want it now but just need to work out how to play back what I backup. I had no luck with the SD card, it recognised it, accepted it, copied the file but the is nothing on the card when I go to view it. So I bought a 4GB USB DataTraveler. The...

You think a power saw is most suitable for the job, ok. I will go to the hire shop but don't know if they have stihl.
