Hi, I'd like to place some LED lights along my path to light it up at night. Something like this... http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=97593&C=Maplin&U=SearchTop&T=LED%20LIGHT&doy=3m4 The paths runs from the house to the garage through the garden. About 20m in total. I'd like...

We would like a power socket on the outside wall of our house. We have power to the garage at the back of the garden already. The power cable to the garage runs around the outside of the house then disappears under the garden path to the garage. I was wondering if its possible to splice...

Planning a new patio at the moment and would like to include some walkover led lights. May also have some lights in the flowerbed walling to light a step. Current plan is to get an electrician to install a weatherproof socket with a box to house the 12v transformer. My query is how do I...

Thanks very much. I though that might be the case with ebay stuff. I'll be back with many more questions once we get stuck into the work...

Thanks for the info. My local supplier will give a good discount for the amount that I'll be buying. I've seen lots of ads on ebay that look a lot cheaper. What do you think about these places? My local supplier has been very helpful and offer free delivery which seems to be worth a lot...

Hi, Has anyone laid any of the MarketStone range from Stonemarket? In particular the GreyMulti and BuffMulti. We are thinking about using it for our garden and would like to see some more pics of real installations rather than the catalouge pics which are a bit small. Any opinions on...

Planning a new patio at the moment. We want a couple flower beds in the corners of the patio that are raised. Probably only 2 courses of brick high. My question is should they be built before the patio is laid, then lay the paving up to the bed and cut it into the shape? Or, should I just lay...

I think I'll leave it until summer then...

I dont have the bit with the screw. Here is mine.... Thanks for the quick reply! Alan

I would like to take a radiator off the wall and flush it out as its cold at the bottom. There is only one valve that has 2 microbore pipes connected. If I close the tap will that shut off both pipes? It looks like the tap will only close one of them. I can take a photo of it if that helps...

Thanks for replying. I've found a welder who is going to have a go at repairing the worn arm. If he cant then I'll replace the lot. Alan

I've gt a very old concrete section garage. The doors on it are not staying open properly now and sagging down. I know that its just a matter of tightening the springs, but I'm worried about the mechanism. The pictures show the mechanism and also the worn joint that is worrying me. It looks...

Decided to try and move from a V4044 Diverter to a V4073 mid-position valve (also replace the controller at the same time). I cant just replace the head without draining as I dont have the version with the pimple. Its very old. Current one is 4044C1098 which is 3/4" BSP according to...

Ok I'll have a think about it. Many thanks for your replies! Alan

Agreed, i think I may aswell replace he whole thing if I'm going to that much effort.

Its a Gloworm Micron 50FF. 4 years old I think. And Honeywell 3 port diverter valve.

Hi, I've got a small problem with my system. i could live with it, but its probably wasting energy.... The problem is that the hotwater is being heated when the central heating is running. If the hot water cylinder thermostat is turned down the water still gets hot if the heating is working...

Hi, I've got a couple security lights in my garden. They often get triggered by cats, therefore wasting energy. I think they are around 500w long thin bulbs. Are there energy saving bulbs available for them? Thanks Alan

Having read some more of this forum I think I might try for a hardwood one instead. I was asking because B&Q had upvc ones for £99....
