My post was badly worded - I should have read it over before posting it. what i meant was that metallic paint wouldnt make a difference in terms of overheting the LNB, but GLOSS would. as for blending in - I beleive that was sky's idea when they switched from solid round dishes to...

as long as the mrs goes first, everything is cool - I'd get about 120k ! Joking aside, i'll make sure it gets done properly......

i didnt say that, someone else suggested it "It is more likely that there will be two FCUs, one for each. Then you can switch them off separately. " i asked why i would want to do that.

I have 2 boxes - the top is all RCD, with a earth leakage device - this is for all my mains, lighting, and the old water heater. the lower is all RCD - But its from the old storage heaters, and is defunct. hope that clears it up.

i'll go take a pic in the morning....I do have mate who is NEARLY a spark - he's got his 17th edition exam next week. I'm sure he would be happy to do this job FOC. Before anyone starts...I'd rather ask the question and get the answer, than do what i THINK is right, and regret it. Thanks...

i like the idea of not taking them off to begin with. Cheaper put new stuff ontop of old i guess for that small 2.4x30cm section - a peice of timber down the middle would do....

avantgarde.....£150k before you buy the electronics !!!

Firstly, spark1 - thanks for your advice - I'll take it on board. Yes, there is already a fused spur unit in the bathroom CUPBOARD - from the old immersion heater. Its RCD protected. As are the lights. I guess using this fused spur to power the boiler AND the bath is the easy option...

ohhh.........£69.98 inc the vat.

that answer your question ???

can't i just put the old stuff back in...It's been there for the past 40 years quite happily !!!!! as for the other walls which i was going to change - i presume i would now be better of dab+dotting the new sheets on ???? Or failing that coarse drywall screws+ some kind of adhesive...

how much is it. I try to push people away from all in one kits - as GENERALLY, unless you spend round the £800 mark, they are fairly poor in terms of quality, both design and sound -when compared to seperates. I stopped myself from buying a all in one kit, saved up for a while, budgeted...

moving on from my last topi - and a topic in the tiling section, i now know i have a few peices of plasterboard to change. I removed the first peie next to the door - which is 2.4m tall, and 30cm wide. i was expecting to find woodwork behind the plasterboard, both vertical and...

I can get a pretty good deal on a fernox - so i think it just won. thanks once again guys.

your all wrong !!!! most dishes have holes in them PURELY for cosmetic reasons - it helps them to blend in with the background. you can paint your sky dish ANY colour you want - it won't make a difference. Metallic paint....The metalic flakes are in the micrometres.....The...

Someone decide for me - small combi heating system. Soft water in my area ( if that makes a difference ) So far i'm led to beleive that the fernox is the one to go for.....

NICE ONE !!!! what should i pay for wbp ?? availible at b+q ???? i'll be drilling holes in every joist for the plumbing of my radiators - so i'll have very good idea of how sound they are. deffo 12.5mm over 9.5mm ?? and is marmox that green covered plasterboard i saw today...

Hi guys, quicky here for you experts !!! My bathroom is in the process of being re-done. My better half has insisted that we stretch the budget, and buy a whirlpool bath. I'm not sure how they are wired, but i presume they come with a 5m length of mains cable, terminated with a plug...

2.5mm because it's what ive got a huge reel of...and i beleive its whats already behind the walls for my lighting ( fairly old, Red+black ) I know the normal is 1mm. I'll also be running a 2.5mm pair up to my new boiler, and indeed the socket for my bath. your right, evogrip is...

doing a full bathroom renovation - just started the stripping of the tiles....Horrible things !!! Now, i do plan to have a tiler re-do most of the walls - but am not sure what kind of surface is acceptable to tile onto. My brain tells me it needs to be dead flat, and fresh, with no plaster...
