We removed the light wooden slats ceiling in our hallway to reveal the substructure. There is a beam A running the length of the hallway. Battens B are secured adjacent to beam A. Battens XY are then secured to the ends of battens B and a batten Z is secured to the middle of a batten B and run...

Expanding foam worked nicely. I used one that doesn't get super hard. And I cut it with a multi tool with the spatula tool connected. Cuts very cleanly.

Oh yeah I hadn't considered foam. I recently bought a foam gun so I can try using expanding foam for the first time.

I took off the window sill and saw there was an area of the window that does not have any expanding foam. On the other window, there is expanding foam all the way along the window. Is it possible this gap was left for a reason, or is it recommended to fill it?

I recently plasterboarded my ceiling and I am left with some larger gaps between the edge of the board and the wall. How should I fill these gaps?

Yeah I just tested the speed I get in the garage with just a Ethernet connected access point next to the back door, and it was over 20+ Mbit. Considering the bandwidth requirement in the house is low as we are only 2 people, I think it is sufficient.

The garage will have some cameras that should be connected to the network. Also a TV used to stream Netflix etc.

Yeah I think if I'm going to bury a cable, why not do fiber over Ethernet. The cost difference isn't much and I know to be careful with the pre terminated cable.

Yeah the was the original idea, but I'm also trying to get an understanding of a wireless solution and if that would satisfy my needs. Ok interesting. I'm already planning on running Ethernet from my switch to an access point at the rear of my property which is quite close to my garage. This...

Going from switch to switch was more like 50m, however to be safe I wanted 75m. But the 100m cable was only a little bit extra. The price jump at the time was 50m to 75m.

Hopefully the WiFi internet speed next to the access point will be the same as devices plugged in to the switch. The speed at the garage will be much lower. If I place another access point in the garage that isn't connected to anything, can it communicate with the first access point and extend...

I will have a access point connected to my switch via ethernet quite close to the garage. Could I also use such an access point as a WiFi extender and install another access point in the garage to provide good WiFi coverage to the garage?

No, I'll run fiber from the switch in my house to the switch in my garage. Both switches have SFP ports and I have SFP modules. The fiber cable is pre terminated 100m LC-LC. The reason I didn't want to use ethernet is because I read there are risks to the equipment if lightning strikes nearby...

Hello, I am burying a fiber optic cable so I have internet in my garage. I have purchased the following flexible conduit to run the fiber optic cable inside: Diameter of the Kabuflex 40 mm. *Inner diameter: 32 mm. https://www.amazon.de/-/en/gp/aw/d/B07CRQ2DQW?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title...

We removed the "brick" tiles behind these radiators and want to make the wall good and wallpaper before putting the radiators back. In a couple of areas the plaster has blown from the brick work. Mostly however the plaster is still good. As we aren't painting, the finish doesn't need to be...

We want to install a new external door, however the hallway floor is going to be raised around 5cm so it is level with the floors in the other rooms. I am not sure what we should do first. Install the new floor, resulting in the external door being unable to open. This may make installing a new...

I've just finished boarding some walls with Fermacell 100x150 boards. The boards are fixed to battens and there is 2cm styrofoam slabs between the battens. The room is completely crooked in all directions resulting in some big gaps between the tops of the boards and the ceiling. There are also...

Yeah I think I'll redirect the downpipe in to a 1000 litre water tank. Out of interest, what happens if you do something against regulations? e.g Can the council force you to change it, or can it become an issue when selling the house?
