Just to add my two penny worth, the above answers are correct. I was always told a bedroom door opens as in your quality diagram to protect the modesty of someone, if that should be necessary. However, usually downstairs doors or non bedroom doors are supposed to open the opposite way......or...

My quick answer is to lay the pipe on pea gravel as you suggest (with the right fall) then surround with pea gravel and finish with a suitable hardcore before concreting over the top to the level of the drive. Unless I’m missing something i can't see why you would need to completely concrete...

If you feel concreting the area is not what you want then gravelling the area would be my next option, remember to put down some type of membrane such as Terram first which stops weeds growing through but allows water to drain through it. A quick search of local builder’s merchants should...

You may as well do the last wall, no one wants to skim on top of wallpaper. Asuming you are getting someone in to do the plastering and want to keep costs down your best bet is to ask your plasterer if there is any further prep you can do before he/she starts work.

Hi again, TalkTalk have now sent me a total of 3 routers, all exactly the same Huawei Echolife HG521 units. The problem discribed above is always the same no matter which router i use, the TalkTalk people i speak to on the phone are now saying the problem must be with my laptop, as 3 of...

Hi, I have tried using the link supplied by opps, everything seems ok at first glance, all connected and firewalled as it should be, however, the Siemens router 'Online' light remains red no matter what i do. When the explorer 'can't connect' page comes up and i run the fault finder the...

Hi all, Ok, yes i know Tiscali is TalkTalk and am suprised at the difference of the hardware supplied. Ethenet speeds are about the same as i got before the change to TalkTalk contract, wireless is totally rubbish though....like dial up speeds sometimes. I have yet to lose connection...

Hi opps, Thanks for that reply, TalkTalk have sent another router....exactly the same model as the last. I have it running and it is a bit better, doesn't cut out so far but not quick downloading stuff like youtube.... I have tried changing the channel and will see how it goes for now.

Any tips on resetting the Tiscali router to use on TalkTalk?

Update, I've spoken to TalkTalk and requested a new router be sent out, apparently it's going to be a G router, the one i have from TalkTalk is an M router. I live in hope but at the same time would love to be able to simply use my old Tiscali router which as previously said was perfect...

Hi, I've recently changed broadband from Tiscali to TalkTalk and received a new router from TalkTalk. The router is a Huawei Echolife HG521, when i searched for problems with this router on the net i got lots of responces which shows the unit has problems. My Tiscali router which i still...

Hi Ronat42, Great and interesting story and just shows how the old gear can still work well today. Before starting the change to a new aerial etc, the loft aerial we had was only really any good for 1 tv, as soon as we put a signal to another they were both rubbish, but then again we got 10...

Well the aerial is up and the masthead amp is working, so too is the 4 way split box and everything's working fine....thanks Chris for your advice i apprecite it.....all the best

Thanks for your help Chris, i've now spoken to the guy at Aerial Shack and although the list has changed slightly due to the area we are in, exact distance from mast etc i will be making the order later today for delivery on Friday....will report back after installation and testing....hopefully...

Thanks, the postage is free over £50, next day delivery. Re the mast head amp being adjustable from near the TV, how does that work re upto 4 different TV's? and could you link to that type of unit please. Is it possible to have an all in one mast head amp mounted in the loft with 4...

Thanks, i've not got sky so no need for IR Pass (whatever that is) and yes the other houses around here have aerial poles, so here's my updated list, http://www.aerialshack.com/antiference-lp28f-wideband-periodic-aerial-p-269.html...

Firstly, thanks for the replies... Having read but not really understood i have now come up with 2 options, this aerial http://www.aerialshack.com/antiference-rx20-wideband-digital-aerial-p-734.html and this 4 way amplifiyer...

I'm going to replace our loft aerial for a chimney mounted outdoor aerial and would appreciate advice on a few points... We recieve our signal from Bilsdale on the North York Moors direction from us to the transmitter is North - North East, having checked Wolfbane the antenna suggestion is...

I'm trying Real player now to see if it works better, at least it ripped a 3 disk album with the correct track info, but i'm yet to try and sync it to my MP3 player (Sandisk Sansa).

Yes, sad to say it does. It's like it gets all confused 'bless it', but with a one disk album no problems. I dont really like the windows media set up either, i think i'd rather have something else better.....any ideas?
