Done similar work in two rooms, with coax, ring main and cat5 feeding the TV areas. Quite satisfying when the plastering's done and your measurements turn out to be perfect! :d Well done. Out of interest, what circuit are those two wall lamps on? They look as if they're positioned over the...

Yeah, there is a collar on the pipe that makes it huge. 8 inch sounds about right. I spent ages trying to find some form of adaptor that would stretch to fit it, but to no avail. I really didn't want to have to remove all the concrete casing around it (let alone cutting the damn thing), but...

Cheers for the reply. Unfortunately, a bottle gulley may well be out of the question as it would raise the ground level too high. Besides, the existing drain has a trap system built in. Based on your suggestions, I've narrowed down a few products that will work. Will most likely fit a...

Excellent! :D

Hi there, In the process of renovating the back garden which involves lifting the old driveway (runs the length of the side of the house) and re-laying it with new slabs. In doing so, I’ve come across a bit of an issue with the rear drainage. This grid takes a mixture of gutter rainwater...

I feel like I need an update on this... I stop by this thread every so often and hope to see a few new pictures! :D

Thanks for the reply, pal. Ended up opting for another spark after getting other quotes. Managed to successfully pull the SWA through under the kitchen. Externally, I opted to run it in a narrow trench between some compacted hardcore and the side of the wall foundations, (rather than under...

Hi there, Our house has an external garage in the back garden that was recently built by the previous occupants. It replaced a much larger garage that was supplied with power via single cable of T&E from the house fuse board (cable looks thicker than 2.5, and the wire cores are not solid...

Useful. Again, thanks for your time and direction.

Thanks for the reply, BAS. Grid would be nice (reading about them in another thread), but the missus is insistent on matching metalwork style throughout. She bought into a particular range, and they don't do grids. I'll have to find an excuse to use one somewhere tho! :P Regarding the...

Maybe the display unit requires 60w? :P

Great, thanks for your perusal. It is appreciated. In answer to your question: the main feed is currently a spur, but given the ease of access to the void, I'm thinking about re-wiring a stretch and build it into the ring. No great shakes. I take your point about switch location (I...

Hi there, Following my recent success at installing some porch lights off an FCU, the missus now decides that she wants the porch on the side of the house doing in the same way. Why she couldn't have told me this before, I have absolutely no idea... but I digress. Anyway, because of the...

^ LOL :D Hah... I can imagine the slider scraping off glutenous baked bean spillages and the odd super noodle.

Where can I get one of those?
