a bit no might need die cast box to make it easier I guess yes he was fine with it hi since I'm not doing anything better I took some pics! The black cable coming up out the floor & laying across the top of the wooden board is the armoured cable. The black thing on the wooden board is an...

I got a quote from an electrician he is quoting as above. I have already run 6mm2 armoured cable from the cu under my stairs to my (permanent) shed /workshop. + 1 light and 1 socket. I even have the correct siemens breakers ready, and mk garage cu already purchased. I simply have not...

thanks - I shall switch off in future!!!

I'm just talking about a standard, regular 5 or 6ft single bulb. 58 watt T8 type of thing. The type of which there are fitted in millions of garages across the land. look like this: I know electricity companies charge all sorts of ridiculous tariffs, but assume a standard electricity...

can you lock it from the inside and exit out a small back door? If you can it makes it easier to suggest ways of securing the door. The best way is to use a block of wood (eg a length of 2x4) to prevent the sliding mechanisms from moving, so you can't physically open the up and over door from...

Hi I want to buy some wooden shutters for our front room. The windows are upvc, and bay window. I can see how I would fit a frame for a regular window, or even square-bay windows, but what's the situation with angled bay windows, and is my situation more complicated cos the frame etc is upvc...

I got mine from selco (buliders merchant) good quality - not the cheapest stuff they had. Go to a selco and take a look at what they have. It is reversible depending on the pattern you want.

cheers. I wondered about that but I thought type 1 MOT was too big for a small path (I assumed it was for proper road surfaces that are being done). I thought it wouldn't compact well enough! Anyway in reality the path isn't going to get too much use so fingers crossed it doesn't start sinking!

Finshed. weird to go from to within eight days. In a way I can't believe I've done it. It's not perfect by any means, but it's going to be so ace now to wander up & down to the shed in me slippers :smoke: It's about 100% more useable now, as previously it was often wet (the...

Saturday Got a bit more than half the path laid, maybe 2/3rds. Got faster as we knew what we were doing. Tomorrow got to finish path, buy some silver sand (or kiln-dried sand, sometimes called paver sand) and brush over path, then use vibrater plate for final time over entire path to pack in...

monday; dug out deeper along the length, and made sure it's 80cm+ width the whole way, and done the bit nearest the house (still not complete though) Gravel board to keep the straight edge, pinned with some stakes and some concrete. The bricks will butt up to this. Thursday ok...

My "how to" ....ok so I have to make my own garden path (on me tod). Sounds easy, huh. The main thing putting me off is hard work ;), but stomping up & down the sodden garden in the ****ing rain over the winter has convinced me I need to man up & get it done. This one appeals to me...

yes I've done all the things you said. That's why I'm wondering if the actual keyfob is faulty. There are no other faults in the fault log. by the way do you know if it's possible to clear the fault log so I can start again?

hoping yaleguy can help me out really. I have replaced the battery in my keyfob (HSA6060) as the control panel had the orange warning light informing me of a fault (low battery). However, even when replaced the fault keeps returning (in fact the fault won't actually clear when trying to do...

ok thanks very much. Will do before Christmas.

hmmm maybe. It was pushed quite far inside the void though.I will check more closely.

One of the downlighters in the kitchen has been coming on and off for a while. After a few weeks I changed the bulb, but it continued to do it. Today I finally got up there to pull the transformer out (each one has an individual transformer) and look what I found! Is this cheap chinese crap or...

So I'm visiting my m-i-l who is Jamaican. She has a very nice house built here. It's finished and all signed off, but some jobs aren't finished. Unfortunately getting electrician back to finish off one or two jobs is proving impossible. Standards here are more lax than in the UK. (The regs may...

Someone's actually going to spend up to £1000 on LED bulbs? :? Is it a mansion?

errr.... okaaaay just make sure you get it put into the regs so the rest of the world can read all about it when the 18th edition is published :mrgreen:
