Hello all. I've installed a diy cctv system to my house and wired it so that all the TVs can view it. The signal coming from the camera is pretty sharp, until I feed it through the modulator (which I need to in order to convert the scart). After that, the image becomes very grainy and has...

Now, at the risk of sounding a bit gormless: 1. How do I think down oil based primer? Water?? 2. Can you recommend anything (nothing fancy - perhaps just something from the screwfix catalogue?) on the primer front 3. How about a paint that I could use? 4. I assume I dont need to sand after...

Any idea as to the order in which I do the panels? I assume I don't just approach it in bish-bash-bosh style?

Hi, I'm having a carpenter build some MDF Alcove and Wardrobe Units for me (you know the type of thing - every Victorian or similar house in the whole of the UK seems to have them - apart from mine). And I get the lucky job of painting them this weekend (not at 4pm on Saturday, though :wink: )...

Thanks that's really helpful. One last thing - the loft box needs F-plugs to be plugged in to it. This might sound like a stupid question, but will the RF modulator http://cpc.farnell.com/jsp/endecaSearch/partDetail.jsp?SKU=AV10363&N=411 be able to have this output??? Nearly there...

Thanks, here goes again: Thanks, that's helpful. I though the loftboxs were intended for this type of thing. Here's the link (and hopefully it'll work this time): here Could another option be to convert the scart to RF (if that's possible - I've never seen it before). Then out it...

Hi all. I've recently bought and installed one of these.[/url]http://www.micromark.co.uk/epages/micromark.filereader?439f002c001d3c2e27400a020f650570+EN/products/MM23255 It has a SCART socket that needs to be plugged into a TV. Does anyone know any way of being able to wire so that the...

Does anyone know where I might be able to source some of the chrome mounts that you can get a glass/granite breakfast bar to sit on top of? I'm sourcing the reinforced (10mm?) glass myself, but I've got no idea where to get the bits for it to sit on. :? Here's a link to the type of thing...

Thanks, that's useful to know as I don't know very much about Baumatic hoods. Does anyone else have any views? Like whether it'll pack-up the day after its warranty runs out...... Thanks.

James H - I've seen a Baumatic with a 1000m3 rating for about £400 (which does seem very cheap), if that's of interest to you. I'm also considering that one.

Anyone heard of this brand and have an opinion on them? Am thinking of installing one of their chimney hoods. They seem to be much cheaper than Neff/Smeg etc Thanks.

Fair point. Now I know that this must sound like blasphemy to you but do you have a view on which you would go for (if you were absolutely forced to!) between PVCu and aluminium?

Biff, has to come down to cost and simply can't afford it :cry: i've had a quote for both to be made from hardwood and it works out at approximately double.

Hi, am installing some (double-glazed) French doors as well as a (double-glazed) conservatory-type roof over an extension. Need them to be white. The options are white PVCU or (I believe) painted white Aluminium. There seems to be a lot more PVCU around than Aluminium. Is there any...

Thanks, that's helpful.

Thanks Kevplumb :D . Last stupid question of the morning, I imagine that the liner doesn't have any gaps all the way up the chimney breast? That way, when I attach my extractor hood to it, it won't be pumping out those nasty cooking smells to the other bedrooms which have fire places off it...

what does a liner look like? Is it as simple as that?

I know it's a silly question :oops: , but is there a simple way I can check (other than pay someone to come and check?) If it helps, it used to be used as a boiler flue (I now want to use it for an extractor hood). Thanks.

Have now narrowed down my choices to either a Smeg or a Brittania duel-fuel range. Never heard of Brittania, and don't Smegs tend to break down a lot? Any views on which of these to opt for in terms of reliability of the brands? Both pretty much have the same functions. Cheers, J
