We currently have two 150w outside lights, that are very old and looking sorry for themselves. I have had to take them down as I am painting the render. I want to replace them and was thinking of some LED floodlights instead. The current ones are wired from a switch in the house, a cable...

Thanks Ree. Next doors flash band doesn't look too damaged considering the time it's been up. I just thought it would be a quick temp solution. I reckon I would make it look rubbish and a mess with a sand cement fix. I have had a look at some of the verges you mention and that's been...

I am just about to paint the render at the back of the house. Its a single storey extension, with a tiled roof. The tiles come right to the edge of the wall and the render is damaged a little at the top. I think rain can get behind the render, which might cause problems. We are hoping to have...

Cheers. Will get someone to come and have a look after discussing with the neighbours.

Following on from my previous thread. We are the middle property of three terraces, whichshare a downpip from tthe roof guttering. The house deeds suggest that maintenance costs are shared. Anyway. Recently our front drive has started flooding. The neighbour where the downpipe come down are...

Lovely.....just opened the packaging and there's some fixings with it cheers.

I have a wall mount for my bike like this http://www.bikecare.co.uk/image-resize.php?image=product_images/acc_images/cycle_storage/singlebikemount.jpg&maxw=300& I want to mount it on a brick wall in our side alleyway. What's the best type and size fixing to use? It will be holding up to...

More reading and been told I don't need to bother with any primer or stabiliser..so... Sterlising wash and good clean followed by johnstones Pliolite? Anyone aware of any problems with that?

Any thoughts?

Ok..I had done a bit of reading and was looking at... Johnstones Sterlising Wash for all the walls Zinsser Bullseye for the spot priming/stabilising Johnstones Pliolite Masonry paint or maybe just normal Johnstones Stormsheild Would sandtex trade be a good alternative then?

Do you mean the none existent down pipe? A while, but i couldn't say exactly. At least 6 months but probably more.

The back one storey extension desperately needs a lick of paint. It's rendered with a very light swirl pattern. There are a few cracks that I have repaired. So, I think I need a textured type exterior paint which will hopefully blend some of the repairs in and be hard wearing. Will just be a...

We live in a terrace house. Ours is the middle property of three that share guttering and the down pipe runs down the front of one of the properties to one side. Basically, the down pipe is cut off about 6 foot off the ground. So any rainwater collected from the three roof comes down that...

Hi We have inherited an old tumble dryer. Its a small sized one, but didn't come with a vent tube. I can't even see how one would attach? If I buy a tube off eBay or somewhere, does it someone come with a clip fastener to fix to the dryer? Any help would be good, as we can't use it at...

I think the mitime looks like a good bet for us. I keep looking at the internet connected set ups though and wondering if its worth the extra expense.

Cheers. Can I ask why you are going to go with the mitime? I can't find many reviews on it and am not sure what features I would be losing, if any, going with the mitime over something like the cm907. For example, I understand you can't set individual temperatures for different time...

The mitime pack looks interesting and looks like that pack can be had for around the same price as a CM907 programmer. Have you used that pack before? I am thinking that the programmer could go where the existing stat is now, remove the old stat, remove the old programmer and place the RF...

Yes, like you say maybe a non issue when you think about it. Looks like CM907 it is then!

That's looking my favoured option at the moment. But any thoughts on how to solve the HW side?

Cheers. Is it the cable on the right into the programmer that's an earth being used for live? I an easily swap that section of cabling out to correct that. Can you recommend a combined 2 channel programmer/thermostat? Possibly a wireless one that I could use in place of the existing...
