Thanks, sounds like a plan, will order in some fuses

Hi. My son has moved into a house with this alarm fitted. It work OK at the time, but he recently discovered that the shower was leaking and water poured down the inside of the wall on which the Remote Key Pad is fitted. As a result, fuse F4 on the main panel, which controls the power supply...

Thanks for that comprehensive reply. I think I'll try option 2. I might mock it up on a CAD program I have.

Hi folks, I'm relaying all my paths and patio in indian sandstone and want to know how to deal with 2 x 45 degree turns around a bay window on the front of the house. It sticks out about 2 feet and is about 6 foot long. How best should I lay the stones to go around it?

r896neo Thanks for your comprehensive reply. It's much appreciated. Also, thanks to Ian H.

Hi all. I'm laying a patio. Relative novice, but experienced tile layer!! Hope some skills transfer. It 22mm Indian brown mix sandstone. What depth of mortar should I use, 25, 30 or 35 mm? A wettish mix seems to be recommended. Should I use a plasticiser? Should I use a SBR bonding coat...

alastairreid thanks for your reply, but the whole matter was decided in the end by the building inspector. Yes was the answer to all your questions, but the BI decided that loose insulation needed to be placed on the horizontal section in the centre of the roof, with the hard insulation ending...

Hi folks. I'm having a single storey conservatory replacement room constructed off my kitchen. It's the sort that has velux roof lights on either side of the roof and a flat centre section with two sloping sides with the roof lights in. The ceiling, between the rafters, is having hard...

Cheers Gazman, thanks for taking the time to reply. Researching Bi Folds is very time consuming!

I thinking of getting a Warmcore Bifold door (4 panes, 3.2m wide) and 6 of 800 x 1500 for a room in the garden that we are having built which is open to the kitchen, and has 3 1/2 walls to the open air. What do people think of Warmcore? Is it worth having triple glazing? Is triple glazing...

Just one other thing, we're having an extension built at the moment, which I why I've taken the opportunity to replace the lawn - the old one would have been trashed anyway - trouble is the builder offered to deliver 7 ton of pea gravel but on looking at it I see that rather than being actual...

I was thinking of using this: http://www.watmorestopsoil.co.uk/onlineshop/gardensoil/lawnstart/lawnstartselect.html

It was because it will increase the pH, and also dissolves in water. I presume 10 mm lets the water through quicker?

I can get both 10 and 20 - but which would be the better under good lawn topsoil.

Does it matter what size the gravel is? 10, 20 or 40 mm? It will be going over a herringbone type drainage system with 4" perforated tubes in it. Do I need to cover the gravel with a membrane, and if so, what type/make?

Does it matter what gravel it is? I'm told limestone is a no, but would any other cheap river based gravel be OK?

Hi all. I live in a very clay soil area and my lawn has always been waterlogged despite having laid drainage under a lot of it. I am having an extension built at the moment so the guy digging the footings has taken off the turf and is pulling back the top soil which I am going to use on my...

Thanks everyone for your help. I took all the device wires out one by one and soldered the ends and reconnected them. All appears OK now.

Cheers, much appreciated

I want to try shorting the tamper circuit to see if it stops it tampering. Do I just put a link across +TR and 0V?
