I literally moved the light a few inches forward and all 3 cables needed extending. One of the cables I replaced... another one I might be able to replace as it goes into the toilet room behind so only through 1 joist. The switch line needs extending though... which crimps do I need to buy is it...

Can't believe you guys are wasting time on this junk bank stuff, my Ethereum investment is up 4000% since March last year.

They are there to strap down the roof... prevent it from blowing off. They won't need to be accessed. Need to figure out a low-profile way of covering them. Was gonna box them in but maybe that will stick out too much, any ideas? Curved mesh and bonding to bury them? Pics: Thanks

Find similar colour plastic, scrape it against sandpaper, collect the dust, mix with super glue, use it as filler, then sand down with fine sandpaper wrapped around (or double sided taped to) a small flat block. If super glue is too strong you can thin it down with a tiny amount of nail varnish...

Keep it in the kitchen.

OK guys I removed the breast... now onto the chimney and there are 2 options: 1. Remove the entire chimney and do the roof 2. Leave the chimney sticking out a bit and cap it What's the best choice? I don't want to get leaks so I'm scared to remove the whole thing. And if I cap it what do I...

Did that include the breast? I was quoted £3000 for what essentially a monkey with a sledge hammer could do.

OK so I started boarding over my room Artex ceiling... which happened to be completely warped so had to wedge battens and use string to make everything perfectly flat before boarding. Now instead of plastering the ceiling which was supposed to be today's job a voice in my head got me to pick up...

You know anywhere I can get these from a high street shop? I need a 2m length, don't think Wickes do them.

Why would it look crap? Silicone is pretty uniform looking, at least the ones I've used around skirting etc...

Weird question. I'm going to route out a channel in the underside of a shelf and hot glue an LED strip light into it. I then want to run silicone in the channel to fill it completely to the top but it has to be silicone that is not totally clear, but not white either (shelf is pine brown), so...

The water cold feed is an MDPE pipe and the only copper is inside the building (just a small run from MDPE to the tap/sink) so I guess the SWA earth from the house CU should do then. Will test everything in the end and see. Cheers.

Shed power is on a 13A plug at the moment and I blew a fuse running a heater, dehumidifier, heat gun and some other equip already when I was doing the decorating. To be honest I might as well do 20A for the ring and if it trips only then consider switching it to 32A. I was also gonna ask about...

Yeah I was just wanting to separate the 3 circuits as the most likely candidate for overload is the ring... so at least I would have fire alarms and lights working still after a trip out. Hmm, maybe I could have a 32A in house AND a 32A for the shed ring + 6A for lights/alarms given the...

Need to order the consumer unit for my garden shed and thinking about the MCBs to use... It will be run off the house consumer unit... currently have a 32A MCB spare, in 6mm cable all the way to the exterior SWA terminal - from then on it is buried 4mm SWA (10m length) up to the shed. For the...

lol it's my bedroom. House is bloody cold just wanna make it hold heat in better.

RW3? I have 100mm RW3 in the walls so an additional 50mm I figured would be as good for thermal as 30mm Celotex. Also it's mostly for sound insulation but yes need a bit of thermal too for winter.

Don't really wanna leave a gap... seems pointless to do OSB > gap > Celotex > cladding which will take up 50mm altogether when I can get 50mm worth of dense Rockwool and have no gap.

Hi, I will be over boarding my Artex ceiling with plasterboard soon but first was wondering if I could cut long rectangles out in the original ceiling and stuff mineral wool in between the joists as the ceiling is very high and room can't retain any heat (dissipates straight through the roof)...

Hi, still in a predicament on my exterior summerhouse insulation. Initially bought Celotex 30mm but was told the foil acting as a vapour barrier could cause mould underneath. Walls are currently (from inside to outside): Plasterboard > Foil bubble wrap VCL > rockwool + 4x2s studwork > 2x 12mm...
