Any one that can help me? :)

It was provided with a 5 Metre long strip (https://www.amazon.co.uk/TENLION-lights-strips-lighting-charger/dp/B01CHYPRP4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1476903758&sr=8-3&keywords=led+strip+lights) and I need to cut two 80 cms strips and join them with the gap being about a metre between the two strips.

Hi I have decided to light the under side of the cabinets in my kitchen with LED strip lights connected to a 12v converter. I have done it on one side and its working well. But I also have two small cabinets lengths with the oven between them. The lengths are about 80cms each and I would like...

My screw is just 1.2cm long (thread portion 0.8cm). How do I decide what length I need? :)

Thanks Burnerman :) Pics attached of the lock removed from the window.The window remains locked even with the handle removed.

The screw keeps turning and does not get tight!

Hi I have two UPVC windows with exactly the same problem. The window handle (with lock) is loose on its base at its attachment to the window. It looks like the screw holding it is loose (arrow on the image 1) and cannot be tightened. Is it a case of some simple screw and washer replacement or...

Hi Thanks for that. You are right...it is to make them work only at night. I use warm white lights to light up the back of canvas prints of paintings! So, it has to be battery operated led lights which switch off late at night by themselves. The ones I have use din the past have had 2 or 3...

Hi Is there a way to attach a timer for battery powered-led fairy lights as a diy? (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TIMER-FAIRY-LED-LIGHTS-BATTERY-OPERATED-10M-50M-100M-CHRISTMAS-OUTDOOR-INDOOR-UK-/271994503063 I am talking about the timer which comes with the battery switch for some led fairy...

Thanks to each one of you :) My canvas is lit up on the wall! :)

I absolutely need the timer to light up the canvas just for the nights. Thanks everyone.I'll give it a try and let you know what happens ;)

Thanks to bernardgreen, ericmark and taylortwocities :). Each lamp is connected with 4 wires(2 from prev and 2 from next). Apologies for a dumb question - so do you mean I could try and cut leaving the first five lamps connected to the battery? What do i do with the two sets of wires coming out...

Hi I need to shorten the LED lights to light up a diy canvas. But I need only five to work. I have tried covering the lights with black tape - not very good results. I have also been advised that these lights don't work if I just cut and tape them. So... Is there a way to cut these battery...

Thanks John :) That's a relief. But it does mean I need to get someone to look at it I guess. Hmmm. Anyway Merry Chistmas to you!

Hi My apologies for being ignorant about stairs and how to repair them. I have a carpeted set of steps leading to the bedrooms in the house (15 year old).Since yesterday,everytime someone is coming down the stairs, the very first step makes a louder,woody noise. What does it mean and what kind...

Hi Overnight I have noticed some raised bubbles on the carpet of my stairs.I suspect they developed after I used some white spirit to clean the carpet in spots to clear out some paint droplets. But I am now worried that they may worsen or become tripping hazards. Can it be sorted? I know that...

If I am a bit unsure as to how much to dilute it,etc whats the next best thing? Dulux Endurance ? What's the difference between Trade supermatt and diamond matt(so confusing!). Megan.

I agree but just worried whether Trade product needs better skill to use it. Also if I need to take any particular care. :unsure:Thanks.

Hi I have heard that Dulux Trade Diamond Matt is the best one to use for the matt finish,coverage and longevity. Then why do most of us self decorators use the retail paints normally? Is Trade Paint difficult to apply? Can it be used by non- professionals? Anything in particular one should look...

Hi I am just doing my walls on my own.I find round,small,regularly spaced spots on all my ceilings (pic 1) and walls (pic 2). Some are raised a bit (pic 3).They are in a rows, regularly spaced in lines on both ceilings and walls. I have been told they are stud marks(?!). So, how do i go about...
