Thanks for the quick replies, it will have a gutter that does not overhang the boundry, this will flow into a water butt. Did not consider building regs for a shed, will look into that, thanks

Hi, I am designing a custom lean to shed for the side of my house. I want to make the most of the space so I am building almost up to the fence, so essentialy the long side will not be seen by anyone and will not get much pounding by the weather. I was intending to make the frame then use...

thanks again chaps, will rip the whole lot out and patch plaster. Given that cracks are likley I will probably lining paper over it.

Thanks for the advise Chukka, not worth shortcutting the best solution....

I am considering blocking up one side of a serving hatch. The hatch currently has a wood lining similar to a door frame lining. My plan is to recess this lining, put a stud frame in and put some plasterboard on the studwork. My problem is how to recess the lining in situation. First thoughs...

Have a quick look over this site, might help: http://www.gardenlaw.co.uk/trees.html

That might be possible, just a little concerned that it could get snagged and I could lose the one cable I have !

Yep, this can all be put down to poor planning, I should have put some cat 6 in at the time or at least a conduit so that I could run other cables. I am now investigating other options, including running a conduit or perhaps just trying out those ethernet over power links, not ideal, but then...

Thanks for all the advice, I thought I might be pushing my luck, might as well do a proper job rather than bodging it. Thanks again (slowly moves back to the drawing board)

Thanks for the reply, I should have 4 pairs left as if I remember correctly the telephone only uses one of the 5 pairs. Will give it a try and see what happens, its only a short length so I might get away with it.

Hello, all help appreciated here !!! I am trying to find a way of getting a data network throughout my house, most of the planning is complete, I just have one room where it is a real pain to get cabling in. One thought I had was that when I originally put telephone cable in to that room, I...

I hadn't thought about speaker cabling, that is a good idea. I am running data cabling to all rooms, but the living room area is tricky to cable up to the patch bay in the loft. I hate wireless, I have used it quite a bit but the transfer speeds for large files are appalling. thanks for all...

thanks for all the advice, I will probably run a few lengths of the data cable in case I need more than one in the future and probable some coax along side it. Anything else recommended for av ?

I am trying to figure out how to wire my house up with cat 5 for my home network (possibly cat6 for futureproofing). I need to connect my ground floor rooms to the loft space where the patch panel will be. I understand from reading other posts that it is not wise to run power cables through a...

Brilliant, thanks for that, never heard of a screwdigger and plug cutter before. Really appreciate it....

Hi, this might be a completely dumb question, but what is the normal method of attaching a pigsear handrail to a wall where there is no access to the wall on the other side ? I would like it direct onto the wall with as much of the fixings hidden as possible. All help much appreciated....
