    Neon light fitting - power supply/transformer for it?

    Well I have, but they don't know either - I suspect they sourced it from somewhere, and didn't know what would power it either. I was hoping someone may recognise the fitting and be able to point me in the right direction :)

    Neon light fitting - power supply/transformer for it?

    Hi there, I've recently sourced a neon light fitting, but it doesn't come with a power supply or transformer. Googling seems to reveal that there are all sorts available, and I don't have a clue which one would fit it. Photos below - anyone have any ideas? It looks a similar fitting to a...

    Replacement Interior French Doors - Possible With Veneer?

    And I probably did answer my own question. I just wondered how practical it was to cut the veneer edging off, and put it back on again. Is it fairly common practice? Or generally advised against?

    Replacement Interior French Doors - Possible With Veneer?

    Thank you so much :). Now just got to try and convince my chippy! Would love the meeting style rebate, and I like the timber idea. But I may struggle to find the right colour/finish without it looking weird. But I'll certainly give it a try!

    Replacement Interior French Doors - Possible With Veneer?

    We are currently in the process of replacing the interior doors in our house, and have opted for some cottage style Oak Veneer ones like these: http://www.diy.com/departments/cottage-panelled-oak-veneer-internal-door-h2040-w826mm/176345_BQ.prd These are fine for most doors in the house...

    Fix wooden window sill to top of brick wall

    Is this really the case? We had been informed by our planning officer that there could be no changes at all to the windows themselves - only a secondary glazing added inside (something about the appearance of the glass not being affected). Do you have a link or example of these units? Would...

    Fix wooden window sill to top of brick wall

    Thanks all. Seems like it will be more complicated than I first thought (and I'm a firm believer in things being done properly... have experienced far too many newbie problems of things coming loose at a later stage when I first started doing these kind of jobs!) A handyman friend is going to...

    Fix wooden window sill to top of brick wall

    Hi all, I've recently renovated the porch (my first large-ish DIY project :)), and have come a bit stuck on one part of it. Essentially, I have ripped off some old terracotta tiles that were mortared (badly) down on top of a brick wall, which formed the window sill of the porch. I would...

    Ceiling beam in living room - chunks missing at end - advice

    Thanks :). The beam is in good condition... it isn't crumbling in any away - though we are going to take some advice on this to double check. But it is sold to touch. I think the cardboard has just been put in to plug the gap temporarily - don't think it was intended a permanent fix. So...

    Ceiling beam in living room - chunks missing at end - advice

    Hi all - we're moving into a listed building in a few weeks, and one of the issues the survey pointed out was some degradation of the beam that runs across the living room ceiling. I have attached some photos below, and it looks like the end has rotted in some way, so there is a large chunk...
