    What fixings for a heavy cupboard on a breezeblock wall?

    It was originally on the floor and probably made for the floor, but I want to put it on the wall and free up some garage space. All the sides look to be solid wood or at least some dense plywood, but the back is pretty thin. I think the back board has just been nailed onto the back edges...

    What fixings for a heavy cupboard on a breezeblock wall?

    The back is flush, but its very thin board - 4 - 5mm I think: and this is the base: It has to be raised a few feet from the floor. You don't think brackets would be best? I'm worried it could come down if I just secured it by one top internal baton, with the whole cupboard...

    What fixings for a heavy cupboard on a breezeblock wall?

    I hope you can see the pictures. I need to fix this to a garage wall, but it's very heavy and am not sure if the brackets I have are sufficient and what wall fixings I need. The blocks are at least 35 years old, so I presume they're proper breezeblocks. The cupboard is about 140...

    NO UPSTAIRS LIGHTS! Light switch stuck in middle position.

    Oh dear, ban-all-sheds, you shouldn't let your anger get the better of you. Let me start by pointing out the electrician wasn't 'pulling my plonker' as he didn't charge me for any of the work and won't, until he fits a new light, as I explained in my post. I guess you missed that part, as...

    NO UPSTAIRS LIGHTS! Light switch stuck in middle position.

    Hi, It turns out the root cause of the problem was the ceiling light. The wall switch had indeed melted or shorted or something and had to be replaced, but when the sparky did that, reset everything (which was a right palaver because of the new regs you have to follow) and flicked the...

    NO UPSTAIRS LIGHTS! Light switch stuck in middle position.

    Thanks. I have someone coming over to replace the switch. Would replace it myself if I knew for certain the switch was the problem and nothing else, but can't take the risk.

    NO UPSTAIRS LIGHTS! Light switch stuck in middle position.

    Hi, I just switched a light on and the bulb blew. I replaced the bulb, switched it on and it appeared to blow again. However, I now can't move the wall light switch back to the 'off' position; it won't move past the middle point. The circuit breaker for the light (and all the upstairs...
