if you're not wanting to make it yourself, you might want to try places that make trophies/awards. The do stuff like that for the bases they stick trophies to. Just a thought

im no expert but it looks like they were originally open string and they were cut flush to fit on the box work. the ends look rough so I would suggest first trying as you say a bit of molding if you can find the right size, or at the very least a good sanding.

was hoping for a bit more than that but i understand your position. thanks

Hi I've gone and done what I always said I never would and that is to get a patio laid in my garden without first running appropriate cables... I know, I know, I've since come to terms with it. Anyway, I've now got a nice new shed which has no power going to it and I'm looking for a...

I'm not much of an expert in this area at all, but I am in a similar situation. I'm planning a loft conversion which will include an ensuite shower room so i've been doing a lot of research. I also liked the idea of those steam showers but have yet to find a single person to recommend them...

Hi there, Im about to wall mount a tv in my bedroom and would like to hide all wires in the wall. The power socket and aerial point are directly below where the tv will be mounted. The wall is a stud wall. I'd like to take a spur off the socket below, run the cable inside the wall and...

hah, yes I see what that looks like. the reply i got suggested that even a cheap fan would last a couple of years. 2 years for £10 isn't that bad in my mind. the vent axias look like they are over £70. that's a big difference.

thanks for the advice. after seeing the price difference between the cheapos on ebay and vent axia, i'm going to risk the ebay one. cheer

HI, The extractor fan in my bathroom stopped working ages ago, and i removed it thinking id get a new one... that was years ago and i've forgotten the make/model so I can't simply buy the same one again. it was a 240v in-line fan (4") and had a timer on it. it looked similar to this one...

I've updated the first post with a link to the final part of this project for those that are interested. Took me over a year to complete due to laziness/general messing about. I'd like to say a big thank you to the members of this forum for some great advice/help during the project...

thanks for the replies just so i understand, the plug should go in past the tile so when the screw expands it, it's expanding inside the plasterboard and not the tile. is that right?

Hi I need to fix a shower riser kit (the sliding rail thing the shower head fixes to) in my shower cubicle which has been freshly tiled. the position I want it in is not infront of a joist so I cannot screw into anything solid. I have cavity (stud work) walls. i'm trying to think if the...

the viera link is panasonics way of saying "your tv remote will also controll your dvd player" or "your dvdplayer remote will also do your surround sound" its pretty handy if all your stuff is panasonic.

I tanked over plasterboard. The plaster is very thin in most places. I understand that in the areas that are plastered, there is a danger of that plaster becoming damaged by water in the same way it would if no tanking was used but i'm not really worried about that. Worst case scenario, one...

I'm getting a tiler in this week to finish off my en-suite shower. I tanked the whole cubicle with BAL WP1 tanking kit, but didn't realise the walls were not parallel. I had to skim some of the cubicle wall to 'build it up' to square. This has left me with a cubicle which is 60% WP1 and...

Hi Im currently doing renovation work in my ensuite and am thinking I might as well put in some power for a shave point and possibly a lit mirror. As far as 'zones' in the room go - it will meet regs but i have a few qeustions... im thinking of chasing cable into wall, up into loft and...
