have been reading securesparks post re wiring and made the classic mistake ..tiredness .. not acceptable I know. So the pull switch wire ..... red in the red terminal, earth in the earth terminal and black in the loop ??.

Sorry I may not have explained this correctly. The picture of the wires all twisted together is what I saw when I lifted the insulation. I put all the ends of the wiring into a 30 amp junction box ( the reds together, blacks together and neutrals together). The switch cable too went in there...

hello. Straight to the point... I have changed some spot lights in a room and when I went into the loft I was met with a transformer that was wired a bit special... see below photo... The white cable above the earths is from the room prior, the middle is for the pull switch in the room I’m...

sorry... bit thick... what is ‘the deck’. Is it the underside of the osb where the droplets are forming, ie where the osb is screwed to the rafters on the inside of building. (Just been told it needs straps too!) I have just paid good money to have a roof done and putting insulation over it...

Thanks guys. So would I be doing the right thing by putting loft roll insulation in between the rafters or by the sound of it cut some sheets of leftover colotex down to fit between the run light and socket electrics after that. ?.

Sorry... the roof is not insulated as yet.. I was going to run the wire for electrics then put 100mm loft insulation in the gaps of the rafters hence I looked up and saw the state of the ceiling!.

Hi all. Straight to the point... I had a 7x4m workshop built in the summer and the inside ceiling is now covered n moisture. The construction is dense block on outside 70mm colotex insulation then thermalite block for inner skin. The base is concrete and had a dpm underneath it before being...

I took the top layer up, weedkiller and then turned over the top soil and then started again totally. Sowed new seed and its better than my neighbours lawn who spent a fortune re turfing !.

One pallet = .50 m2???.. Dunno... Give up

Meant to say Laid normally .... Typo

hi. I am trying to estimate the amount of blocks I need for a wall when I lay the concrete blocks flat as opposed to normal. I know 10 blocks is 1m2 when kayes normally. Is it still the same when laid flat ?. Sounds like a dumb question I know. Help appreciated . Cheers

Rain forecast so wouldn't of sprayed. Glad I looked now otherwise I would of wasted time and money if I didnt wait for the two weeks. Will give me time to sort out other stuff. Believe me there is plenty to be getting on with. Thanks a lot for the advice, will post some updates soon. Cheers

Thanks a lot... I have just come in from doing the strumming and then put the mower over it on a high cut to collect the strimmings. Gonna wait til sun goes down now and then get on and spray the weed killer.got roundup ultra 3000. Hope this does the job. Then wait for that to work and the...

Hi. I have approx 250m2 to apply weed killer to after I left it and left it.... Would It be best to strim it down first and apply the chemicals or just spray the weed killer?. Next question... What do I do next after the weed killer has taken effect and killed everything.. Cut it, rake it or...

Never thought about that.... How do I go about that

The whole garden is sloped but the levels are all over the place hence I was wondering about rotivating and raking flat to get level although sloped if you get my drift. Does this help

In a way yes... The garden behind is on slope and we have cut into land to get terrace so I would say yes. But it is only a metre high.

Gonna be building a dense block wall soon approximately 15mx1.2m. It will be blocks laid flat for the thickness. I will put weep holes in the bottom of the wall to for drainage. Can I just lay 15m of block like this without a pillar or two for strength. I think I will need about 450 blocks but...

Hi all. Here's the basics of it. I have recently had some building work completed and the top of garden terraced. The main part of the grassed area was always poor grass and dandelions etc. now the builder has gone he said he would spread the 'good ' soil across the grass and that would be top...

Many thanks
