Thanks for replying, Does this sound like I need a electrician to identify and fix the problem, bearing in mind my partner or myself has no skills regarding electrical items!

Hi The other day In turned on my kitchen/diner lights ( which are all sotlights bulit into the celing) and they flicked on then went straight out like they had fused. We checked the fuse box and all was fine so don't really know whats happened. Fortunatley I own lots of lamps so have managed...

Wow, that has helped alot, I had never considered using blocks to help with the height, what a good idea. I'm going to show this to my partner later on, as he would be the one carrying out the practical, I am just the brains behind the idea! Hopefully he will pull of as good job as your self...

He He! :D I did but this is my new idea, I want to now deck my patio as I have lost my view because of development in front of me and i Also figured I can put some sturdy fencing on my decking as my wall doesn't seem to be up to it! Kill 2 birds with 1 stone! Just enough decking to fit my...

Hi I would like to build some raised decking straight onto my patio (where the table is and slightly round the corner shown in the other corner) to get better views. I have seen lots of decking plans that are dug into the ground and concreted. As I would be building straight onto patio I...

Thanks everyone for your advice, I understand pictures can't tell everything but I really appreciate your advice. Still not quite sure what to do next. Have sort of come to the conclusion that there is movement, which is very worrying but kind of hoping that because the house is only 8 years old...

I really wasn't taking the mick, it was a genuine mistake I misread it and thought nothing of it because people always have strange user names. As soon as i realised I edited it. Sorry if I have offended you, I fully appreciate people taking time out to offer advice and am very grateful...

Have edited it!

Oh no, I see my mistake, I am very sorry!!! whoops! :oops: :oops:

Yes the drop is pretty scary, its not as bad as it looks as the house infront is half below ground but could still do you a lot of damage. We bought the house last year and have been so unsure about the condition of the wall and how to make it safer we haven't been able to do anything about it...

In giving it some thought, you both are probably right my panel/ trelllis is probably not adequate after all, the idea of a structure within it is good. I will definately look into it. Thanks for all your comments, you may have saved lifes!

I appeciate your comments, drunks are the main cause of concern!!! The Panels are actually a lot studier than the general trellis so think it will probbably be ok. Your advice is good and seems a good way to do it, but what would I use to secure the posts to the inside of the wall? Appreciate...

Thanks so much, That would explain alot, as it is happening in a lot of places and at those points. Not exactly sure what I am going to do next but that does ease my worries that it doesn't neccesarily mean that my house is unstable! Hope this may help others too! Thanks alot.

Hi! I have a very low wall on my patio which on the other side of is a steep drop, to make this safer I am wanting to mount a series of fence panels shown on the picture, but at the moment I have no idea how to to it and have bought all the panels! I am also unsure if the bricks look reliable...
