thanks George a few more small updates to come when ive taken a few more photos, and ill put a few up of how i installed the drop down screen

Installed a Projector screen in the living room last week and added it to the home automation setup, made a short video of it working, the screen moves up and down with a motor and I can control it from my phone along with the lights and lamps. best bit is the screen was £90 from amazon plus...

unfortunately no conduit, would have been nice but it wasnt installed. think the mrs might murder me if i pull the wall out now its been painted finally. A maintenance free junction box it is, am I correct in thinking its 32A i need?

I have a double socket in the bedroom, it's on a ring with two wires feeding into it, no spurs etc on this circuit it's all new. The wires run through a hole in the joist but the hole and wires will be in the way of some work I'm doing going forward. I need to move them about 2 feet to the...

a little insight into how the rest of the house looks, read a huge mental mess!

here are a few of the details: the showerhead is huge and has great coverage of you whole body when under it, the pressure is great too. the nosels are rupper so that when the shower head inevitably gets limescaled up, you can give them a squeeze and squeeze out the scale. very clever. because...

Ive rubbed the walls down a few times, but there still seems to be a bit of a mist coat from the grout, any idea how i can get rid of this altogether?

I grouted and sealed the tiles this weekend, along with fitting all the shower parts. Basically I wanted to be able to have a shower so I finished the tiles around the bath / shower so we could do this, the rest of the room still needs to be tiled but I was able to shower this morning (monday)...

I didnt realise gluing would be necessary, whats the reason for it? as much as a solid plywood floor would be no doubt much stronger, i assume it will cost a lot more, just doing the bathroom floor in plywood was quite expensive and it was a quarter of the amount, then i assume the plywood would...

yep all that's been done

google howarth timber, they will usually be able to do next day and are a lot cheaper than B&Q plus i believe over a certain amount and delivery is free, just find your closest branch, travis perkins will also probably be cheaper than b and q and will also deliver for free next day if over an...

if this post works it should have some pics as to how i raised the floor level in my loft and doubled the insulation thickness, If you click the little white up arrow next to "deadbeat said:" below, it will take you to the origional post where the photos are expanded

My house has 1950's tongue and groove floorboards, they dont appear to be much use, they are loose, noisy some are split and warped (nailed down). Ive been looking into how best to deal with them and the two options are, screw the good ones down and replace the rest. replace the whole lot...

so steady progress with the tiling, takes longer than i would have thought got too late to do the two tiles remaining shown in the last picture so ill do them as soon as i can, then im going to grout what ive done so far that way i can actually start having showers, which i...

keep the bushes, they look nice, they look to be on the neighbors side anyway?

a bit more done over the weekend, not as much as id like, but i did get the niche tiled which im happy about, im going to throw up the back wall and the left hand wall as soon as i can, then ill grout that, and we should be able to start having showers again, which would be nice after 3 or 4...

so this weekend, we properly started painting the master bedroom and tiling the walls in the bathroom. took quite some time to work out where all the tiles were going but we made a good start. the bedroom is getting an accent wall in a slightly darker brown where the bedhead will be going and im...

er, not sure what the above is, however id find it unlikely that windows 10 would show you the password or allow you to copy and paste it, passwords in windows are never shown for user accounts, the password you have seen is more likely the homegroup password or some other password, but it wont...

Ive done the floor tiling this week, and last week i painted on the water proof membrane around the shower area. I also finished plasterboarding around the windows. ive removed the toilet so as to tile underneath it and ive also tiles underneath the legs of the unit, just felt like the best...

it sounded to me like the thermal switch wasnt broken its just they require you to remove the top to reset them, he said they normally replace them with self resetting ones that are a newer type, however, i shall leave that for now and found a replacement motor on espares, so thanks for the help...
