My money is on the kid with the blakeys, he's got to be harder. Sort it out lads - breaktime round back of the bikeshed would seem the appropriate time.

Could always buy yourself some RCA plugs and shorten the ones you have - cheap as chips if you are happy to strip a bit of cable etc.

If it were me I'd do exactly as you have done, keep the wet stuff as far away as you can (in the next unit) and plug the damn thing in. It's not ideal but to be honest I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. On a side note, all the appliances in my newly done kitchen have accessible switches to...

And this seems to be the crux of your entire argument, all the rest about how heat from filaments needs to be made up by the heating system seems just an attempt at justification. Points: 1) Typically in the UK the heating is only on for less than half the year. No matter how much of the...

Why all this desire to have a fight or prove ones worth by repeating the same tired old rubbish over and over splitting hairs about wihch document says what? and heaven forbit the original poster should come to a DIY forum and have the temerity to phrase his question without getting professional...

Don't rule out the training option, from what I've read here your answers (and leading questions) come across well.

From a DIYers point of view I understand what you are trying to achieve with this thread but to be honest I'm not sure it'll work, at least not as a series of questions many of which can be answered in some fashion by someone who thinks they know enough: Well whatever is there I guess, I mean...

Sounds like the problem I had a while back - Noisy crackling phone line but really only noticable when the modem was connected, it was seasonal being fine in the winter months and much worse in the summer, some days terrible others absolutely perfect. First BT engineer could find no fault (it...

Ah good point, makes sense.

Thats about it. As far as your style question goes its entirely personal but unless the skirting boards match the floor (and architraves/doors) you are better off going for painted.

Its nuts but to be honest no more nuts than the assumption that average Joe with a hammer and nail or a christmas cordless will know about the horizontal and vertical zones - I bet if you polled a good cross-section of people it would be a minority that knew about safe zones.

Interested amateur question alert.... Why unswitched? sounds like the switch would be redundant but you make it sound like unswitched bit is important, I'm curious. On second thoughts would that be because that second switch wouldnt be DP? you can probably tell I'm guessing now...

Heh reading your posts rarely makes me laugh but that one did :lol: He's going to bodge it anyway.

Sounds like what you want is one of those new fangled lamps with 3 pin plugs on... (Joking aside getting something like an uplighter would save you a lot of hassle)

This is ... worrying.

Was just going to suggest the same. Get a bunch of 12v fans maybe 6 inch or 8 inch on a panel, buy one of the fan speed controllers they sell find a suitable outdoor low voltage transformer and bobs your uncle. On the other hand if the OP *really* wants the blacksmiths forge effect then by...

Thats odd (although maybe the experienced will say they've seen it before) - sounds to me like the mixer valve is allowing cold water into the hot water supply, maybe the mains pressure is too high for it to cope with or its just faulty? I guess you could prove this by running the shower until...

Bandsaw wont really give you straighter cuts than anything else. Did mine with a decent Jigsaw. As Mattylad said, a sliding mitre (or a big non sliding one) is the way to go if you want to speed the process up.

Get out there and start filling some of the pot holes in the area, roads in Hemel are appaling.

Thanks for the tips, the result wasn't brilliant at first but with a bit of sanding and smoothing its come out reasonably well. Will try a handsaw on the next one as that sounds more controllable.
