Hi guys, Thanks for clicking to read my question. Hope someone can help. I'm wondering what freeware software is good for drawing up 2D floor plans to scale. Does anyone use any? If so, what software do you use and is it any good? Thanks, Jay

One was going to be for digital tv and the other for satellite/cable... why? I welcome any suggestions you have Eddie. At the moment, there is satellite and terrestrial cables coming down the front of the house and into the living room along with cable TV. There isn't a TV in the house yet...

Sorry, so what's the best practise in this scenario then? 'Cause I also have redundant unused cables as well under my floorboards that I could do with making safe.

Sounds like the audio drivers have been updated/replaced by MS Update with Microsoft drivers rather than the vendor/manufacturer drivers for your audio card/chipset. In essence as far as I can think, you have two options. You could use System Restore to restore your Windows to before the...

Just to back djrock up here I rate Virgin Media (NTL) that much that when I bought my house... I made sure it was in a 'cabled' area. My mum and dad don't have a problem with it and neither do I. Since I had it installed in 2000 at my parents house I have probably had problems with it 5 times...

Hi guys, I'm thinking of putting a Plasma/LCD TV in my kitchen on the big wall. I'm thinking of running some coaxial (one for normal TV and one for satellite/cable) down the wall wired into a socket and then cap/plaster over. However, in the floorspace above it's like an electrical highway...

My fridge socket that I had put in is a radial circuit. The cable used for my fridge radial is only 2.5mm² and in the consumer unit there was a MCB installed for this intended purpose only. If the same has been done for your fridge socket, I don't think that two double sockets and under...

There's already two holes drilled in each of the joists John. The set of holes that I wanted to pass the alarm cable through has just got lighting circuit and smokes circuit running through it. The other holes have got kitchen circuit, boiler radial and fridge radial. I don't really fancy...

:shock: Sweet Jesus! I can see that was a fair bit of a discussion and I thank each one of your for your input. :wink: I think I understand it all which brings up an old idea that I had. :idea: Each of the notches in the joists run pretty much in a straight line and also in the notches...

Hi guys, Need some more advice. I'm replacing an alarm cable from a PIR to the control panel. I thought it would be prudent to pass the alarm cable through the holes in the joists alongside the electric cabling twin and earths rather than through the notches that have been chiselled out...

Just thought I'd post back and let people know that I managed to get the pin out. I used my brain (I didn't have a vice so I improvised), lots of WD40, brut force and a plier. :) I found that it is a different pin to the other three... so I'll have to go to a backstreet scrapyard for...

Ok, I had another go tonight and managed to get the rubber gaiter prized back and scraped away as much rust as possible. I really can't understand how this rust has managed to build up when there is a rubber gaiter on and no sign of fault on the rubber gaiter. :shock: Anyway, below...

Rubber gaiter prized right back, doused with WD40 and then scraped as much rust away as possible.

Thanks guys, I'll see what I can get done. For a moment I thought I'd have to get the whole thing new from the stealers. Thanks again :)

Today, I attempted replacing both discs and pads on my car today. All was going well until I found that I couldn't put my caliper back on to the caliper mounting bracket. There is a caliper guide pin at both the top and bottom of the caliper mounting bracket. The top one springs in and out...
