Just a quick question Just got a conserv built and inside finished with plasterboard. Looking to sand the joins and small infills then line. For prep is it best to size using paste and how many times. Cheers :D

John When using the rachet, I presume I need appropriate fitting/clips (not sure what they are called) where do I get these from. If I new the names I would google Cheers

Hi, can someone suggest a good manufacturer for Ratchet Crimping Pliers. I want to join 2 lengths of 2.5 electrical cable, rather than using a junction box etc. I have taken a look at CK tools but just wanted to check if there was any better makes out there (baring in mind all the jobs are DIY...

Chapper, don't exactly know how heavy the b****y telly is but it's heavy enough not to take the risk of spending £1700 on a poxy 4 toggle springs and as the position of the the telly is crucial the positions of the studs do not suit, however I would like to thank you for your valuable input into...

Darren, thanks for the info and pics. I plan to cut-out a section of the plaster board and place a nogging between the studs the as you have done run some conduit down the inside of the wall. Question is how did fix the conduit all the way down or did you just push it into the hole in the floor...

Darren What about cutting out a section of plywood similar to the size of the tv and then screwing this into the stud and the wall, then fitting the bracket onto ply. Wood that be a possible solution, if so what thickness is best to use Cheers

Camper Thanks for the reply. Will keep on looking or waiting :lol:

Why :shock: I bought the plasma with the table that it's sits on at the present moment. This situation is perfectly acceptable, however I may be investing in a new TV which means that I was considering moving this TV to an alternative room with the OPTION of fixing this to a wall bracket...

Any help would be appreciated. Got a 42" inch plasma and looking to fit this to a plasterboard cavity wall. I don't have access to the cavity from above or behind without taking down drick. I have worked with several types of plasterboard screws and found that they are not acceptable to hold...

Crafty The plasma is next on my list. :D

Crafty Excellent news, thanks for the help. It will be positioned in the garage for a small gym. Over time you end up buying several Cd player (being so cheap) that I have more than one in the house at present, so this one will be staying where it is. Once again, thanks

Crafty A standalone wall mounted CD Player, (similar to hi-fi seperate). No problems with usinging mini-trunking but more concerned with wiring directly into a FCU with the plug. Is it safe/legal? Thanks

Just a quick question. I would like to hide the cable of my cd player by putting it in conduit and plaster over, then removing the plug and wiring this directly into a FCU. Is it legal /safe to wire a cd player directly to a FCU. Thanks

Hope someone can help My plan is to lay t&g boards in the garage but need to check out a couple of things first. 1: Is there a recommended high to raise the boards of the concrete floor 2: Is it OK to lay rockwool as insulation under the boards 3: Will I need a damp proof membrane under...

I will srew them down, just wondering whether to screw them at the egde of each board at an angle or just in the centre.

I had decking constructed and the boards were laid but together and over time they haze recently started to part due to shrinkage (I presume), and started to free. A couple of questions, what the best way to refix, tie down and will they expand again. I have recently applied ronseal oil...

I used Jeyes fluid to clean my decking because it was filthy from the mud, then powerwased and finaly applied ronseal decking oil, natural color. The oil was £28 for 5 litres, sure I could have got it cheaper elswere but had to get it ASAP because the weather was good.

johnd The problem is that they are already in place and screwed into the steel brackets, no chance of removing them or drilling a hole in the bottom. In fact i hope the builders were smart enough to have drilled a hole in the first place. I look at the culprinol today and check if it will do...

I have just moved into a new house and the builders constructed a fence on top of the retaining wall using bracket to hold the wooden posts. The problem is these square brackets will retain the water and eventualy rot the posts. I have already silicon sealed around the edges but wanted to drill...

gcol: that's what I was thinking because coving would no doubt make the toilet look smaller and bring the ceiling in Cheers
