Thanks for the advice. They actually asked for a cheque, made out to the window manfacturer, as opposed to themselves. It must be great (as a business) if you can get every customer to buy the materials for you, you'd have a purchase ledger of...zero. I think it's very risky and messy. Do...

This might get moved to another forum, although it does have some relevance here, and I've wanted to post it here as I know most of you guys and would welcome your opinions. Have you guys had any work done on your homes, whereas you've had to pay a sum of money before the job is done, and/or...

You might want to consider a separate pull cord, sited in a different place in the room, and get a fan with an overrun timer. Then you have the best of convenience, in that you can choose when you might want the fan on, and when you've finished in there, it'll continue to clear the steam away...

I've looked into the method you describe of amplifying/splitting the signal, and it does have drawbacks, one of which is you do need certain types of aerial faceplate sockets, some won't carry power using the method you describe. You'd be better off by far, by getting one of the normal...

Just another thought, perhaps the previous owner had a normal TV amp/splitter like the pic above, and he wired in straight into a juncion box in the loft. You shouldn't do this, but it would explain why there is no indication of the way he had it set up before. He simply took the amp with him...

I'm sorry, but I'm still a little confused. Lofts usually only have light cables, and it's quite normal to take power from those for TV amps, as they consume very little. Can you not run a cable from one of the lighting junction boxes (or put one in) to a 3amp FCU, then to a plug socket. Then...

Maybe it will be re-routed through the house and join exisiting waste outlets.

Yes, definitely use those couplers. I've never had an issue with those.

Forget changing cables, you've shown you don't need to as you can achieve the pictures you want. A lot of the time, someone will change a cable thinking it's that, and will get a better picture. But the reason is, they've obviously re-fitted the connectors/plugs, better than they were before...

Well, only you can know if there's enough air coming into the room. Put the fan on and stay inside the room for 15 minutes or so. Then hold a piece of card up to the fan. If it grabs it and holds it just the same as it would with the door wide open, then there's no problem, the fan isn't...

Is the fan sited in a position where it gets a large amount of moisture in it or something like that? I have 4 Manrose fans, 2 normal and 2 inline, and never had a problem with any so far. I guess lack of incoming air could cause an issue. As air is taken out, more has to come into the room. Do...

Don't vent into the loft, it really isn't a great idea. You need to get it outside. Can you not get at the roof tiles/underlay from inside the loft? If so, you can vent through the tiles, either by changing a tile for a vented one and extracting through that, or by fitting a Lapvent, which you...

lol :D

Noooo.......you're missing the point. :)

I'll correct that typo for you - So, in your opinion, in which of my 3,000 previous posts here have I NOT been ranting? :D

To lessen the signal if it's too strong and suffering from interference? Could be.

What's that silver box type thing that is connected to what looks like a TV amplifier/splitter?

It just means that it should be earthed at the plug/connection. i.e. the yellow/green earth wire from the connected cable should be connected within the plug or cooker connection point.

This is like being back in infant school.....

I was talking about JohnD. He has no lug. As opposed to others, which sound like they have a lug but no thread. Phew.
