Have you any links as examples? I started a thread a while ago on similar lines: http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=96459&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight= Recessed sinks were mentioned then, but I couldn't track any down... To the OP: one of the smallest...

You must really be annoyed - that's 9 exclamation marks in there! That's more than the average entry of that Terry chap that posts on here quite a bit, and he seems to have genuinely mistaken them for full-stops :D.

Hope you're not "humbugging" me - I like 'em (or at least can't see the harm) :) . Although, technically of course, it's Rudolph's red nose that will be mostly helping Santa find his way...

Absolutely agree, that's why it often surprises me that people think there's some absolute definition to argue/defend :). Concepts of right/wrong "taste" are right up there with ideas of "common sense", and I quite like Einstein's take on that: "Common sense is the collection of prejudices...

And...relax. What a lot of vitriole for some temporary lights on a house for a few weeks of the year! Can't say it bothers me, to be honest, in fact I find it quite entertaining. Particularly pleasing (for me) last year was the huge inflatable Santa that the owner had placed on top of their...

Depending on the size of the pole, it's probably less hassle to put something around any burr/sharpeness on the edges than tape a wire all the way down on the outside, surely? I recently installed a satellite dish with a fairly long pole and put the coax inside - bit of tape around the top and...

I've got 3 neighbours, 2 to the sides and one at the back, all with wireless - no detrimental impact on my own wireless connection (can't vouch for them, of course :) ). I think it's easy to "over egg" the issues with wireless - clearly folk do have problems, but conversely people just don't...

Doesn't everyone pull their curtains behind their radiators? I've now got a feeling I've been involved in a strange practise all these years :D

I don't think anyone would disagree that wired is preferable to wireless in terms of reliability and speed, but it doesn't follow that wireless is going to be unreliable in the OP's environment and it will also avoid cabling hassle. The fact remains that you'd be hard-pushed to buy a...

Do you actually have the wireless router already, or have experience of one in your property? I think the point that Alex is making is that if all you intend to do is share your broadband connection between your machines, then for most folk wireless is the best choice, and you may see no real...

What pair-count is typically used by BT? I notice on EBay that there's both 2 and 3-pair claimed to be CW1308 for internal and external use, although it doesn't explicitly say CW1308B...e.g. the 3 pair is here http://tinyurl.com/32q6yj.

On the (possibly unlikely) chance that anyone is searching for details of one of these fans...I bought one anyway. It actually turned out cheaper to buy it from a local supplier than on the web and it came to £46 all-in, which seems pretty good value to me considering its extraction rate and...

After using the TLC extractor fan calculator for my bathroom with shower, it looks like I'm after a fan that draws at least 37l/s. I've also decided I want to go for an inline fan with a timer. With this in mind... The Xpelair XIL150T looks ideal...

When you say "connected the new one to it", do you mean via a pair of phono plugs from new to old? If so, you'll be giving-up Dolby Digital for Pro-logic (or the DTS equivalents) assuming your old combined DVD/amp supports it... Added Later Just found the manual for your model on-line...

Not my experience. In fact, it made all the difference - night/day in terms of connection up time - see here: http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=95077&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 Now, some months on, and with no other changes to the internal wiring, the broadband connection...

You might have a bit of a problem getting anything made by Lofra fixed in the UK now - the UK re-selling arm folded. Looking at their web-site now though (which was down for some time) there is some information for spares and service, and it seems that someone else has picked up the contract...

I've been using a Honeywell CM61 for about 3 years now, and it has worked without fault. I don't actually remember even changing the battery in the transmitter/thermostat, although I assume I must have done given the length of time. I suspect this model might be discontinued now, so I don't...

[Ooops...ignore. Can't seem to delete a mistaken post on this forum :oops: ]

Thanks all for the tips! I'll confess to not knowing that PVC boxes were available - I think I'll look at these next time as they look more suitable but, this time, I already had a box of cheap moulded ones from Wickes. Using a combination of the above based on what tools I had, I found...

Ah, that makes sense, thanks.
