Has anyone had any experience with using wireless headphones for viewing TV. I am considering a set to use whilst watching the TV in bed, and so the sound wont disturb the wifes beauty sleep, as she needs as much as she can get ;-). My concern is that there would be an unacceptable sound...

The hot water tap in our bathroom sink is always spins round when using it, ie its not tight enough under the sink.....I have tried by hand, but I think one of these Tap Spanners is needed. These blue coloured ones seem to be the popular one, and are 13mm/19mm are these the ones to do the job...

theyre terrible for leaving windows open in the conservatory so perhaps a PIR is to be avoided. I did think of Vipers, as I have used them in the past , but only on window frames and not a whole conservatory, what sort of area do they cover, ie for a 10ft length of conservatory wall I presume...

after their neighbours getting burgled the other day the in-laws have finally listened to my advice and want a bell fitting, only problem is their house has a large conservatory with lots of opening lights and a double door. its not an entry/exit route but it isnt overlooked so its an easy...

We asked a well established local P&D to quote us a price on re-decorating our dining room, to include removal of the cheap & nasty polystyrene coving that has been up since we moved in, and to replace it with the neater plaster type. The room is Square with no alcoves or chimney breasts to...

MDI Max Demand Indicator.....The red needle is the MAX and the black is current loading around 20 mins ago ACB Air Circuit Breaker .....electrically and manually trippable circuit breaker.....this one has the common "asbestos!!" arc interuptors and is operated by a 30v DC supply via any...

Customers lost supply around 0830 and were back 1230 the same day......the FOUR incoming cables all had backfeeds so they were just "POT-ENDED" outside the substation. ie a LIVE end. Many hundreds of SP subs are very similar to this one, with open LV distribution boards. There are very...

This happened on Saturday at a LOW VOLTAGE Substation, (no Transformer), not sure why at this time.....but looks like a leaking cable termination box decided to take early retirement.... it should look very similar to this..... but after the incident it now looks like this...

is that flame retardent clothing he is wearing ? AS most will know on here the DNO CUTOUT will take no prisoners if it faults, they can be deadly as one poor jointer found out last year. PLEASE make sure anyone working on or near it is fully experienced with what they are and what they CAN...

Getting quotes for our 3 bed semi to have all new soffits,facias and gutters etc etc. our existing is wooden facias and what looks to be asbestos soffits. obviousley we want any waste disposed of legally and safely, but I have a few questions regarding the new stuff, and I am a total lamen...

You can have this one for the price of postage, SOLD AS SEEN, can be heard humming :wink:

I would sit down and have a stiff drink before you read your quote, I work for a DNO and it amazes me how much any works carried out by them costs, as has been said get any details of work you can carry out yourself, such as the excavations.

not found any droppings, as of yet, just a few nibbled things, Im afraid I dont like cats one bit, so a cat is out of the question........first thing tomorrow its off to buy some mouse traps.....

Have you learned chaps got any good advice for banishing mice from the house?.......obviousley traps are a good starting point. would mice climb the insides of a cavity wall, we have found evidence upstairs and down, so apart from the stairs themselves could they be climbing in the cavity.

Older customer sites may still have PCB type Insulating oil on their systems though, we came across a site last week that had been taken over by that many different firms no-one on site had any sort of idea what s/gear they had or how to operate it......

I think 99% of PCB's on SP networks have been removed or down to a very small level that is well within guidance lines. or so they tell us :-0
