wow, I would not have ever guessed that could be a problem! I will have to use either conduit or some other method if any one has any ideas?

from what I know kitchen and bathroom paint is designed to tollerate more moisture. I used it in the kitchen as it can be washed down when it is covered in food. Probably worth it if the area will get wet. On the other hand, in my hallway I used a cheap 'trade' emulsion and it seems like I...

Thanks that is useful information. How deep did you go? Did you just fill up with plaster afterwards? (Slightly offtrack here but, did your heating pipes exit from the wall to the radiators after you finished?) dont think iv seen that before.

Hi, Have just moved to a house that is approx 1945 build. The upstairs walls are of block construction. I want to do some chasing to place water pipes in to the wall. I have not done any chasing like this before (only plaster etc). I assume that the walls are structural, so is there...

Hope he was permanently injured. when he gets out of hospital, hope he gets it again. I dont care what the liberals think, hanging is too good for him and Anthony Joseph - (insane? - MY ARSE). Let them die how their victims did.

If internal fuses blow on a PCB, it is generally a bad idea to replace them without wondering why the fuses went in the first place. You say you used the right current rating, ok the F in the fuse that you used was a fast blow, but that should unlikley make a difference. The large capacitors...

*** Excellent extension inside and out *** I am wondering about an extension on my own home but I dont know where to start. Can anyone recommend some good books or web site on the process to go through in the early stages? I dont even know how I would get the best space/value out of an...

The house I am buying has had various things done to it over the years. Last owner been there 15 years. Owner before him removed structural wall to make lounge bigger (probably 20 years ago). My sollicitor says that I have to buy an insurance policy on behalf of the mortgage lender due to...

Went for a meal recently (locally in Hampshire) the waitress was helpful but the room was freezing (radiators not switched on), my starter was straight out of a fridge, not nice at all. I didnt tip even thought the waitress on her performance alone probably deserved one.

Thanks, thats useful info. Would they replace the meter even with the old fuse box still present? I know that if I had any private electrical work carried out, it would not be legal to connect to the CU, so is it legal to replace the meter still with the old fuse board pressent. (I do...

The house I am buying has a key meter. I want it removed, do I need to get the electricity board to do this, or can I get an electrician to do it? I will need to replace the fuse box at the same time as it is 'well oldskool'. Probably best to get them both done together?

Be carful with your terminology. Flat screen can apply to all types of screens. I have a flatscreen CRT. Other terminology: LCD panel Plasma screen You can take as read that (for now*) LCD and Plasma will be flat screen. *They are actually working on a bendy version of LCD. Dont...

I think you should try and borrow some kit that will do 1080i 50Hz via component and verify that the set can actually display the picture before buying anything else. There seems to be a lot of discontnet about this set on the internet. In theory, if the set can do component (1080i at 50hz)...

I am a keen recycler and I think there is nothing wrong with an occasional burn up, providing that the materials are appropriate (natural wood!!) and are best disposed of in this way. The worlds gone mad regarding green spirited gardeners getting on with their business. I put the ash on my...

I lift my Tulips to stop them rotting away when they are dormant. Need to plant them again now, if only i could find them in the shed LOL.

I would like to know why getitright thinks this might be ilegal? I have added a socket in my loft (after 2005), that is a spur from my upstairs ring via a FCU. I was actually giong to post a very similar question because I am selling my house and have just had a question from buyers solicitor...

How would you find a service that offers dipping? what would it be listed under in the yellow pages? Also, if they can dip them to remove paint, can they not dip them to paint them too? I painted a radiater last year when i decorated my hall way. I took it off the wall, and laid it on my...
