Hi We recently changed our knacked wooden doors and windows for UPVC in rosewood. To keep the cost down we did not change the white UPVC french window which had been put in by the previous owners as it's still OK. Whilst it's OK however, they are white and don't match the...

Thanks Guys. I have found a wiring diagram for the pyronix, being connected to a control unit: http://www.pyronix.com/pdf/Data0305%20TwinA.pdf Do all control units have the same terminals identification? If so, it looks as though I am home and dry!

Hi to you all. Moved into this house and got the alarm system control box updated to the above named unit. It has an alarm within the control box and also a bell and light box outside. However it does not have a siren for use indoor to theoretically put the fear of JC into the...

Now I definitely know my limitations, so I am not going to attempt this, but get a Plasterer/Artexer to do it instead! For some strange reason the bungalow I have moved into has a lounge diner (L shaped) with an archway between the lounge and dining parts. In the Lounge the ceiling has...

I'll get the Nitromor. The can looks nice! :P

Thanks Mr H. It looks as though thats the way ahead, providing the wood does not get knacked. I have just measured the area to be stripped and its about 10 sq metres, so a 5L can should do the job. I wonder if I can just go straight in with the Chemical as the bungalow isn't that old...

1john and jr. Thanks for your replies. Yes, I see what you mean. What I am going to do is have a go as you suggested and if it is a big mess I will try the method as suggested by prentice boy. Many thanks to all of you for your interest :D

Thanks for the reply Derry Boy :D Your third option looks the best for someone of my minimal skills. I think I'll go for that!

Thanks Steve, I'll give it a try.

Hi Steve, thanks for the reply. Its the marking up that's the issue. Is there a tool that is best suited for the job?

Hi This has also been posted in the Decorating and Painting part of the forum. I don't know the best place. I have bitten the bullet and decided to instal a fitted wardrobe and despite the accuracy of my user name I feel that I can manage it. The room that the wardrobe is to be...

Hi I have bitten the bullet and decided to instal a fitted wardrobe and despite the accuracy of my user name I feel that I can manage it. The room that the wardrobe is to be fitted into has (modern plaster) coving and there is enough space above the wardrobe doors to fit coving above...
