Because these cost nothing and the cheapest ones i found in uk (not MK) were working out around £6 a pop besides i dont think MK do FTP modules. Basically if i were to buy them I would be paying around 60-70 quid. Id rather have some free, what you think ;)

Hi guys, some of you give me some advice before on this topic. I ended up using normal faceplates that come with the modules at the time however now i need to use MK faceplates for defo in order to match the rest of the double sockets etc and was wondering which faceplates these modules would...

gona get ma hands dirty tomorrow, see how things pan out ;)

silly me, i was looking at the top of it lol

Hey thanks for the tips guys. Lets hope it all goes well tomorrow lol Just one more thing, regarding presoldered bends and straights. I tried a straight join horizontally but the problem was the solder merely weeped out on top where i decided ive done enough but as soon as i looked at the...

hi guys, thanks for the replies I was actually practicing today and really made a mess of things. had blobs of solder on the edges rather than a neat rim Taking what you guys have said into account, is it correct that I need to (once cleaned and fluxed etc) heat the joint and keep touching...

Hi guys, how on earth do you get solder in areas which you cant reach. For example say you have a joint which is near a wall. You can solder most of it but the part which is next to wall as well as the underside, how do you get solder in these parts? Btw Im referring to a pipe that is...

The last photo of this staircase i.e. the close up of the fillered part is my biggest concern at present, I have no clue how to get the carpet finished here.

Hi big all, thanks for the links matey. I like the curvy chrome trimming, could do with that in certain places in the building. Regrding the edge, I was looking for something more L shaped i.e. something that would fit snugly on the actual corner itself. The only thing i can think of is some...

Terry its a neat little staple gun with the bonus of firing nails too. Once in the nails are hardly visible, only a small dot let us know how you get on Btw the double sided tape idea is great too but be carefull not to take the protective seal off all at once. Im sure you would have seen...

Bilioustrumpstaine, yea i had a look at them, problem is they are toolbags, which I have considered but thought they wont really suite my requirements. I was after something with storage for tools and also small compartments for bits and bobs such as various clips, plugs, connectors etc. The...

Hi guys, some great bits of advice there. Im not actually a tradesperson, just a DIYer whose tool box mostly stairs at home. I actually thought these would have been quite tough but of course you guys would know more than me from experience. I suppose my budget isnt the best in the world but if...

Hi Matty and Symptoms, once again thanks for your help and contribution guys. Problem with whipped edge is that as you may not be able to see clearly from the pics the tops of the steps are not the most neatest in the world i.e. they have rough edges etc and not something I can really sand...

Are you on about wood laminate trim? If so then there is believe it or not a cheap enough staple gun (tacwise) that also fires smallish nails that actually works lol. I bought one from Screwfix as i didnt really have a need for the more expensive paslode thingies which as Jaffa has referred...

Matty I was thinking of this but to be honest have become lazy with all the little jobs and was trying to find a much quicker solution. If worst comes to worst Ill have to do as such i.e. have some timber overhang the edge having the edges of the timber planed and then butt another piece of...

spudkey, basically I have cold water coming in from the mains at pretty decent pressure. It comes in via speedfit attachment to a copper pipe that is fixed to the pressure release valve as can be seen in the photo. Would it be safe for me to simply attach some form of piping that fixes to the...

Hi guys, i have been looking for a while. The problem i have is that most are well over priced as you guys im sure would agree I find some but have rubbish build quality and have recently realised how good and robust the black and decker toolboxes are. Sadly I missed out on a B&Q deal...

Hi mogget thanks for the reply matey, to be honest I had no real intention of capping it as it was installed before I took ownership of the building and it about the only thing i kept since it was such a tidy little water heater i.e. small yet so effective as it warms the water a great deal...

Hi guys, I am getting carpet fit at my premises and have hit a hurdle. I have this staircase: Basically I am wondering what on earth is to be done with the first 3 steps where they stick out beyond the string by about an inch. Would nosing look good on here or should carpet be wrapped...

Hi guys i have the following opening to the 1st floor. I am planning on getting carpet put in and as you can see have ply board the floor. The ply was screwed down with many more screws than normal as the old floor boards had a fair few knots and cause uneveness. Nevertheless I now...
