Hi all, got a patch of raised lawn about 18 sq.metre rectangle. Looking to dig up just the turf layer in order to put some new turf down. Area isnt big enough to warrant hiring a turf stripper so is going have to be a spade/shovel job. Any tips on what tool is best for the job or any other...

Using the meter set to ohms, touched both ends and read around 0.06. Can get a new pcb for around £30. Dont mind getting one if its just a case of swapping one wire over at a time into the same place on the new board or is there more to it? Can get the whole panel for maybe £20 more which might...

Getting 13.6 for both of those. Yes removed the fuse to test

Just tested the fuse. Seems fine. Also tested the spare and get a similar reading (around 0.06). Noticed they are only 1a though is that right? Thats all thats ever been in there though, havent touched it for the past 4 years. Pic of pcb attached

Ok so with battery connected im getting 10.4dc from the leads (assume this is the voltage currently in the battery?) Disconnected im only getting 1.46 dc from the lead? Is this the problem and hence why battery is los9ng voltage and not charging? Ac input looks to be 18.8ac

Just tried with a voltmeter. Not sure if ive done it right but putting the pins on the ac wires on the panel i get a reading of 18.6? Putting the wires on the battery i get 22. Edit - those numbers were with the meter set to V~200. What setting should i use?

Double post

I will get my hands on a multimeter and have a check. I do remember having a couple of power cuts last week not sure if thats anything to do with it? Is there a way to completely power down the system (without the alarm going crazy) and restart it again from fresh asif i was installing it from new?

Checked the fuses, they are all glass but are still all intact. There were some spares inside the box so i swapped out the battery one anyway but still got the flashing light. Power to the unit seems fine, all the keypads are working and everything else seems to be working other than the...

Sorry can you expand on that a bit please

So about a month ago i noticed the 'unset' light flashing on my alarm keypad and after a quick google it seemed to point to a dud battery so i ordered a new one, swapped them over and seemed to do the trick....however today i have noticed that the unset light has started flashing again. Veritas...

Im looking to put some led light strips on the underside of cupboards in the kitchen but on one side i have a gap where the extractor hood is and would need to connect either side together (See pic). I wouldn't want visible wires so I think the only option would be to go up inside the cupboard...

Its ok :) i seriously had no idea. I said it could be anything between 20k and 60k for all i know. Obviously the cheaper the more likely it would be to have done but now im thinking its probably cleaner and less stressful to move to a 4 bed instead at some point, cost wise probably wouldnt be...

Well it was more hoping not that much than having any expectation. Also that was the first time id measured. Its only been the past week we have looked at maybe moving and then today considering maybe extending

Sorry just misread your first post saying the designer will advise whats possible and how much it would cost

Thanks all, certainly food for thought. Just measured up, approx 8m x 3m so 24 sq.m. So i suppose the £50k isnt far off. Wasnt expecting it to be that much or certainly wasnt hoping it to be! Guess we need to weigh up the option of doing it and staying put (and what we would actually gain) or...

The property has had planning approval in the past before we moved in so hopefully no issues there. So what are you saying: 1. Get a designer to design it all and estimated cost 2. Get planning approval 3. And only then start trying to find a builder to do it? Which potentially may increase...

Just tried to message you but wouldn't let me... What sort of thing would you be able to advise on without a design? Is it really the same price per sq/m for the second floor, would have thought the second floor would be cheaper. Lets just say its £1,000 sq/m whats includes in that, would...

Hi everyone, We are currently in a 3 bed detached with a good amount of space at the side of the house which we are thinking about extending into with a double storey extension. Only thing is I don't know where to start? Do I get a few builders round to discuss our options or do I need to get...

I would absolutely love to swap out my integrated WM and DW for freestanding but the space and plinth just wouldn't allow without looking a mess! So i've decided to finally try and sort out the base for the WM. The legs on the machine don't extend long enough for it to sit directly onto the...
