great advice, thanks :D Just one issue, i totally agree on the cable drill as 90% of the work will be done when there is power around, however i'd like to be able to use one as an electric screwdriver, which in my past experience is essential for building kitchens etc. hmmm, ideally i...

Hi, I'm looking to buy a drill soon, just to use around the house for general DIY. http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?cId=100372&ts=17312&id=46526 What do you all think of this? This is about the very most i can to spend, does anything come close or is a better choice than...

thanks for all the info, yes they are all plastic newish white sockets/switches. Is it possible that the wires might be ok? But obviously it needs a new fusebox with RCD etc.

All of it?! really? :roll: The sockets are mainly installed on the walls just above the big skirting boards if that helps shed anymore light on the situation!

Hi, I'm hoping some of you experts can tell me your opinions on the condition of the electrics in the new house (1935 it was built) i'm hoping to buy. Heres some piccys... Here's a pic of the back of a socket. As you can see the wiring is "fairly" new as...

Hi, I need to get hold of some 180 degree hinges which are spring loaded. Like the kind you have on kitchen/ranch doors that can swing both ways :wink: then spring back to the centre to keep the door closed. Can i pick these up from places like b&q etc? Do they have a special name which i...
