I also was thinking along a similar line of Piano hinges. I even tried to draw a picture and upload, my I could'nt get the perpective right to explain what I was thinking. As we are on the subject, any idea where on say screwfix the correct hinges are ? Are they called piano hinges ? or...

Well my house was built in 1965 ish.. But I am getting back to the question. Now that we have kind of sorted out what cable I have.. Does it mean this place has never been re-wired ! I'm too young to know what to look for.. Although I will be phoning some elecy's tommorow from the NSICC...

Thanks for the replies. You quoted me when I explained that the cables are stranded ?? Is there anything else I should have said So I was trying to anticipate your question. Does this help with identifying the cables age ? Also sorry about asking for costs. I do realise that prices...

Good Afternoon I am interested (mainly because I am replacing my central hearing) in getting my flat rewired. Couple of questions 1) Any idea what a Periodic inspection costs ? http://www.niceic.org.uk/consumers/pir.html 1a) Is it worthwhile ? 2) Any idea what I can expect it would...

hmm, Interesting idea. Just trying to break down the idea a bit more. Are you suggesting that I have a single piece of wood that simply has a hinge where the normal curtain pole would sit ? Have you seen any picures of anything similar anywhere before ?

Jbonding.... You read my mind... Not sure if it will look tacky or not. But I was already thinking of mirrors. I'd have to work out the hinges and have a few folds but it would definately work. And my dear lady never seems to have enough mirrors..... I also saw a programme on...

Thanks for your reply. Thats very helpful. Just curious on what you have. By the sounds of it you have a full conversion with a spiral staircase.. ? Are you willing to show any pics / or say what you paid ?

yeah.. Don't really fit in with the style

My bedroom is painted white, with a white bed linen. The wardrobes are beech colour. I've been trying to inspire myself for about 6 months now, and still no further forward. My bedroom is front facing, therefore load of steet lights and noise. Ideally I am looking for something that...

Probably unlikely because I live in a top floor masonette. So are you saying that if I place beams across and then place chipboard on top that would be good enough ? I would consider fitting a window (You don't need scaffolding for this right ?) But definately a staircase, seeing as...

hmm.. Good question. It's one of those 'value for use' questions. Ultimately if I decide to this this I would like to minimize the amount of trades I need to get in. For example I know that most full loft conversions require steel supports, which in tern requires a crain, which in tern...

After having a very helpful reply on this forum some time ago. I would just like to qualify a few questions. My loft is huge. Previous owners have simply put down chip board to make storage that much easier. Looking at the ceiling there are cracks all over the place, I am guessing as a...

Those tips are great ! Thank you very much indeed. If the weather is ok, I will give it a go. Save me spending out on a new tool I might not use. In relation to a square door, just don't go there. The frames are so ****ed it's almost in my interest to replace them. In one room in...

Been looking to get a table saw. I need to fit about 5 doors in my new masonette(flat). Because I am recplacing old doors, I need to take off about 4mm along the door length. I have an electric planner, and the used this for the first door. Totally the wrong thing it took about 4 hours...

Strange.. I replied earlier to say thank you and its not there ! I must have done something wrong. Anyway, thank you all for your comments. Quite simply it would seem I have 2 options. 1. use plastic pipe 2. use plastic trunking with normal copper pipe Do the main DIY stores sell...

Hi I hate seeing rad pipes. I'm luck at the moment all the rad pipes in my house are hidden under the floor. However, I am about to fit 2 towel rads. One for the kitchen and one for the bathroom. I've only seen towel rails in new builds, and of course its easy to hide behing...

Magic Mitre http://froogle.google.co.uk/froogle?q=magic+mitre&scoring=p It's not just QVC that sell it, so check for P+P costs [hr] The Magic Mitre with Jack Xpert Saw is a must-have item for anybody who takes their DIY seriously. Angles within the home are rarely 90 degrees, so...

Just because I've never liked playing with fire. And would like to do the install myself Any other options

http://www.comap.co.uk You need one of these daddies Together with the various fittings eg. I need to replace 'parts' of my heating system. Move rads around etc. So anyone used this type of tool ? I guess most of you REAL plumbers use solder, but its always made me shy[/img]

So you think the £10 option might be good enough.. I might give it a try
