I haven't decided where to get the power from yet. Thanks to everyone it's been a great help.

Thank you for that. Yes, I can enter from the back and seal, probably the best way. Cheers Brian

I have one of these http://www.screwfix.com/p/bg-nexus-13a-2g-dp-switched-socket/67928 and was going to use 2.5 T&E cable. The cable will be coming out through a wall and I intend to use the bottom entry point. My question(s) are: Is it better to use T&E or normal round 13A cable? Should I use...

Thanks, didn't realise those existed. Unfortunately I have already ordered the plug type. Might get some as I have other things to do.

I have ordered some 8x140mm those should do the job.

Thanks but it will be attached to the corner of my house so that isn't possible in this case.

Thanks for that, just what I need. The screws have to go through 7.5cm of wood before going into the wall. What size/length screws would you suggest?

I have a fence panel which, at the moment, is just lying against the front of my house, the other end is fixed to a post . I need to fix it to the wall but cannot figure out the best way to do it. If I could remove the panel then there would be no problem but I cannot. I have heard that I can...

OK, thanks very much for that. Brian :)

Thank you very much for that. I will have a word with him in the morning. To ask another stupid question, does this bellcast bead go on before the scratch coat or after and before the casting? Brian

I can't see a brand name on it.

My house is in the process of being stripped and roughcasted. My question is, should the roughcast go all the way to the ground, or, as most seem to do, leave a plain concrete? band at the bottom? The roughcaster, who seems to know his job said that it would look better casted all the way to the...

I bought the one from Toolstation, £4.56 can't be bad.

Thanks, I have decided to buy a chuck to take my existing non SDS drill bits.

Cheaper? that's almost a quarter of the price. Cheers. I have only got a Bosch which weighs about 2.2Kg.

Yes, I can get an adapter chuck for about £15 from Amazon. Looks like I will have to do that. No wonder I cannot find any, they don't exist. Thanks for you input though Brian

No, they are not too expensive if they are any good. I still cannot find an HSS drill bit in SDS fit.

Can anyone recommend reasonably priced HSS bits (for wood and metal) for a SDS drill? I cannot seem to find any anywhere. Brian

Thanks gents, just the info I wanted Brian

I am buying an SDS drill from Screwfix as my Bosch hammer drill will not touch my walls. If I use a 10mm x 450mm drill to go through my outside wall, what sort of speed should I use? With a normal hammer drill it is best on a slow speed but does this apply to an SDS drill? Sorry if this is an...
