Wanting to get all my photos in one place so i can sort them out into albums etc. Ive been trying to find a particular photo and realised i have photos all over the place. My phone automatically uploads to dropbox. 50gb at present for a year then goes down. I have some stored on hard drive...

Whats the difference between them and just hooking your laptop, tablet etc via a hdmi cable to a normal tv?

What a good idea? Sooey you interested? Im in South Liverpool.

Fair enough sooey, you have a point but I would rather pay more and have the job done properly but if you don't read sites like this and have some basic knowledge of the subject you wouldn't know what 'properly' is, and what to look for in a quote. The majority of homeowners having work done...

Thats the thing. After researching on here i have an idea of what should be included in the quote and what they should do during a survey visit. I was expecting the price to be around £2000 to be honest for a straight boiler swap. Ive just rang another expecting to arrange a visit and he said...

Im not asking to have one for that price. He was simply round to quote me a price and what he is to do. I am asking whether he should quote for a power flush. If you read it properly im querying if he has included the appropriate aspects of the jobs that need doing and whether labour charge...

Just had a quotation which was lacking the essentials. Quoted for Vaillant 831 with standard flue kit, new single rad 600 x 1200, magnaclean, room thermostat and 5 trv's. Materials £1350 as he rang mrcentralheating for price and said labour£350. No expert but with a bit of research, no...

We have a stair case that once past the first few steps opens up right up to the roof ceiling with walls either side. I am thinking of putting in a false ceiling to run at a minimum height of 2m from the stairs all the way up. Whats the best way to do this? I think timber batterns screwed to...

Thanks. The architrave is definitely separate to the lining but what you say sounds right. Will this be ok to do as I dont want to detach any support from the ceiling and the wall starts wafting about like you state.

Excellent, thanks. Next question. As i will be getting rid of the window above the doors and inserting a small stud frame to board over to blend in to the existing wall. Would it be better to do this first, insert lining then door....or Buy door and get measurements. Build frame and pre...

Looking to replace all the door linings upstairs as they have taken a battering by the previous owner. These are floor to ceiling and attached to the joists in the loft with a window above each door to let more light in. My plan is to remove existing and replace, doing away with the window by...

Thanks but forgive my ignorance. Wouldn't this easily get damaged. Ie kids running up stairs, accidentally getting knocked with Hoover etc.

Looking to re skim the hall stairs and landing. However if done the plaster will become flush with the strair strings and look even worse than it does now as the rebate varies down the stairs Options I can think of are replacing whole stair case as they creak a lot. Replacing the stringers if...

Im thinkin about a rear extension to the house which will be a kitchen with the existing kitchen being turned into an open plan dining area off the new kitchen. I also want some general refurbishment work such as new bathroom, skimming of one bedroom wall and new wardrobes fitted, the...

Just jet washed the block paved driveway and will re sand tomorrow as its started to pour down with rain. Main question is what is the best method to put down some glyphosate weed killer i have in the sachet form to keep those pesky weeds from growing between the paving. I was going to use...

Sorted. Changed switch and still tripped. Took both lights off and was fine. Put one on and tripper. Found the cuprit. Was a different light to what I thought. Lose connection. Working fine again now. Cheers guys

Just noticed this morning that the problem may be witg the switch. As said before when I turned light on to check it all works again in tripped. Just noticed the actual light switch is stuck in the 'on' position and wont budge. All wire looks ok and have took the casing of the switch, its a 3...

It is an existing wall light I took off to wallpaper. I disconnected the live, neutral and earth and took off the bracket. I will check for damage tomorrow. but as its embedded in the wall it may prove difficult. Not touched the light switch as ive not decorated that wall yet. Thanks for the...

Only used 2 existing holes with plugs in for the bracket. Cant see it being that as the screws went straight back into the plugs . I was wallpapering so was thinking if maybe a bit of paste from my hand had got onto the wires.. Not while pasting the wall as I had a bag over the wires. If...
