hello. I have a galaxy 2 that I installed about 3 years ago (I now know these are for professionals before you mention it). I know the master code and the engineers code. Everything was ok for about 2 years. Now every couple of months I get a tamper fault, and the box begins to beep at an...

Yep that is what I intend to do. I have a large area in the back of my garage where all the garden furniture goes on the day the clocks go back (I know, but it reminds/forces me to do it). So it shouldn't be that much of a hassle to remove these too.

Yes, I was just meaning slabs on the top to render, then wood as shown. It is in full sun all day, and happy to maintain. Good point with the drip edge. Dense blocks seem to come in 3.5 and 7n. What is the difference/best? I understand your concern, Is there a way of getting this look...

thank you very much!!! i had disabled the line, but didn't know about the restart. fantastic. i'll have a read up about the ethernet module, i assume this would allow me to email on fault / the alarm sounding?

I have been having problems with my pstn BT line. i am unsure what but occasionally my line went dead and the alarm started bleeping. each time i called out BT the line corrected itself before they arrived. after the last episode, the phone is now working, but i cannot get out of...

No it is quite a nice area, but i think the lady went a bit paranoid when her husband died. the current system looks to be quite old and is called something like a "optimax", i can confirm when i get home. it only has 4 zones, of which only 3 are used. the first zone currently cover the...
