    failed psu

    Need to confirm that is what was replaced by the computer shop a few months ago. It could just be a general fault on the PSU - internal fuse, for example. Also the Wattage main be too low depending on the amount of other hardware in the PC. If the PSU was replaced, I would hope the guy...

    You should be able to access her files from c:\users\[username]. I would just create a new account and copy the files over from the old to new profile.

    Gas Hob Connection

    Hmm - that answers that then. Basically the reason why we wanted the flexi hose was to be able to disconnect ourselves (and move the unit with the hob and oven out) ready for the plasterer to come in and do his bit But as you say, if we have to use a gas fitter to commision the connection...

    Gas Hob Connection

    Hi Having a new kitchen fitted soon, and getting my uncle in to do most of the fitting, but will be getting a gas fitter in to re-route the gas pipe to the hob. Currently the pipe is 'hard-connected' into the hob. In my previous house I remember having a bayonet connector with a rubber...

    Which carpet underlay?

    We got the 10mm Tredaire Zest, from here: http://tradepriced.co.uk/tredaireapt_carpet_underlay.html What at the door the next day!. Good sound proofing, but we got a thick carpet also. Just be warned about the height of the doors above the floor as we had to take a couple up!

    Engineered flooring in Kitchen

    If we were going to spend £50psqm that would be £2500 for our lounge and kitchen. This is a tad over budget. To be honest for the area I was looking at max of £30psqm which is £1500 and then you have the underlay and trim etc on top. What would you recommend for underlay for the floor...

    Engineered flooring in Kitchen

    Hi, We are thinking of staying in the house for quite a long time - at least another 25 years+. We are also thinking of laying the same floor into the lounge (on the same floor) in our town house (1st floor). How often does it need sanding?

    Engineered flooring in Kitchen

    excellent - thanks for your help on that. You stated in the previous post about cost. Looking at this: http://www.ukflooringdirect.co.uk/Engineered/Florence_Engineered_Family_Oak_Flooring_180mm_Oiled.html For the money, would this classed a cheap and/or nasty or fairly decent? Basically...

    Engineered flooring in Kitchen

    might be a stupid question, but I don't really know the actual construction techniques.... On the website I linked to previosly (http://www.ukflooringdirect.co.uk/Engineered.htm?ref=1&sort=4a&page=1), there is several so-called engineed wood flooring, which have several different top-layer...

    Engineered flooring in Kitchen

    Hi, We are going to be ripping out the kitchen soon to replace it. Instead of laminate or vinyl, we are thinking of laying engineered flooring instead before the new kitchen goes in. - First off, is this a good idea laying engineered (rather than solid for example) in a Kitchen. Is there...

    Electric Oven and Induction Hob cable requirements

    Hi Guys, We have a 10mm cable going to our oven at the moment. On installing a new kitchen later this year, we might want to install an induction hob as well on the same cable. Looking at the requirement I think it falls very close to the limits of the cable, and just wondered what you...

    Lighting JB question

    I know this is a slightly pedantic question.. If you have a REALLY long switch cable length between several switches, do you calculate to the last switch and then back again? As this is the 'true path' of the current. For example: CU - - 5m - - (LIGHT) - - 5m - - 2W Switch - - 5m - - Int...

    Lighting JB question

    Hi Guys, Thanks for your replies on this, even though I haven't replied to them - sorry for that! I have been investigating other ways of achieving what I want with different systems. I have found that X10 suffers from a lot of noise. I purchased a few test units and found this noise on my...

    Lighting JB question

    Ok - I have made a to-scale diagram of what I am after. I have changed the details from the desciption above. Instead of using JBs, I would like to use normal connection blocks instead which will be screwed to the board. The board will be boxed in, but accessable. I have only shown an example...

    Energy Saving Downlights

    I have also been looking into this. We are going for several spots in our lounge to make the room feel bigger without the pendant lighting. We have decided to have several switches switching combinations of different spots to create different modes and to some extent control the amount of...
