Hi guys I'm trying to wire 2 external LEDs along with the tube light inside the shed to a 2 gang 2 way switch. I've combined the 2 wires from the LED into a junction box so that there is only one wire going into the switch. However despite numerous attempts to wire them up , I can't get...

JJ- not tried that yet as only noticed Sunday night (around 930pm!) but will do - thing is they're such a pain to take apart Eric- WE've had amazing weather last few weeks so would doubt it would be water and the IP box is under a kind of metal fascia/plinth that they put on the top of EWI

Hi everyone About five months ago i fitted a pair of external LED lamps to the rear of my single storey extension They've been working fine the whole time, now all of a sudden one of them has gone loopy, whilst the other one is fine The one that's gone bonkers flashes on & off, quite...

Letter drafted & sent lets see what happens! Wish me luck, gonna need a tonne of it as it's Newham :mad::(:cautious:

some images of the drawer itself - rear view of the front & also where it fits onto the drawer unit alongside each other would be useful & perhaps one of a drawer which is already fitted Looks like a screwed down on the front is then tightened from the side to secure & pull it all tight &...

Hello all I'm decking my garden & decided to add a picture frame for the edges Problem I'm having is when I try to join & screw the mitres I haven't been able to get an acceptable join / match up with the grooves What makes it worse is that when I attempt to screw the 2 pieces together they...

Lol cjard, if only! Woody, although I'm not 100% on if one is technically needed or not, but I do recall us receiving a PCN many years ago for doing just that (parking in disabled spot without a badge) Other thing I forgot to point out is that if we do leave it out on display, it'll pay...

Anyone else have any suggestions before I write to my council that may help my cause?

Nakajo, I may just do that GeoffJ, I have not asked but I am reluctant to do so as the badges have expiry dates, this is already the third if not fourth separate occasion we've been provided with a blue badge after continuous appeals & complaints - I don't want to be in a position where I've...

Hi everyone I live in Newham, London and I wish to request the local council special dispensation for a dropped kerb, as they currently 'do not allow dropped kerbs for to be built for individual residential properties in Newham' They go on to provide the following reasons: We do not allow...

Ah I see ok, well I need to get the wall plate up regardless of which option I decide on With the 4x2 sandwiched together, would I then screw these on the top of the posts in one length all along or do sections between each post?

It does seem as though it'd be quicker / simpler to do but just trying to get my head round it Below is the example of the self support I referred to earlier and it looks very nice and simple I was hoping to get the posts & wall plates up and I guess I'll have a better idea then Thanks for...

Hi JDLDIY Any closer to starting up? I got a few prices today - have a look on the thread I started

Had Brett Martin give me a quote on what I needed - think it's great that they'll also cut the sheets to size & tape it for you aswell £330 + vat & delivery timber bars, £430 + vat & delivery for self support (25mm opal) To be honest i really thought self support would've been much more...

Will I be able to get a 3 way enclosure so that the lean to is only 'open' from one end? Do the self support bars give me an automatic angle then too? I personally do prefer the self support as it would look much nicer I believe. Mw what would the cost difference would there likely to be...

Had a look last nighta nd the light is indeed higher than where it was originally, I may move it, it will give me an excuse to add another one for good lighting during the evenings, there's only one 1m watt LED on there atm What kind of angle would be the best for this situation Also I've had...

I've purchased a new tumble dryer (Bosch WTB84200GB) and was wondering if anyone knew how to extend the outlet pipe so the water resevoir doesn't keep needing to be emptied I've been told I can buy a 2m extention tubing kit to add onto the end but the run I need to the waste pipe is going to be...

That is a very good point actually, didn't think of that but thing is it is an old pic & i've got a funny feeling it's sitting up higher now - I really do need to get an update to date pic but it's always to dark when I get home (Still at work as i type this!) One of my main concerns is will...

I'll keep that post updated as and when I do start any work - when are you proposing yours to start?

Mw really appreciate your input on this, that pic is about 6 months old and have since had solid wall insulation and new gutters and fascias I was thinking of doing is having the roof start above the bend that goes to the toilet and then slope down slightly as I wanted the light inside / under...
