No ideas? Nevermind.

Hi everybody, We have recently bought a Victorian terraced house which we are very much looking forward to renovating. Common story, period features mostly gone during 60s in favour of clean lines etc. Before we start we're going to do an extension on the back to give us a family bathroom...

So I've got Sky1 and Sky2 cables coming into the inputs, then a cable from the return socket back to the amplifier?? The redundant sockets then being the TV and Radio ones? If that's the case do I need a single RF wall plate in order to receive the cable from the aerial on the roof to...

Hi Chris, Thanks for your reply. Maybe I'm being really thick but I still don't understand what wall plates I would use for this ? I seem to have too many wires that would go into a traditional Sky+ Wall Plate??

Hi all, Looking at what kit I need to achieve what I want to do. I wired the cables up as described in my diagram thinking this was OK but now it looks like I have too many cables in the living room?? I assumed my Sky panel would be like this one...

Thanks Plug. For some reason I couldn't get it to upload yesterday so tried using an offsite photo site. Have no managed to add to my albums.

Hi all, Am undertaking my first flat refurb from scratch and trying to get my head around what wiring needs to go from where to where. I'm in a block with shared Satellite dish and Shared terrestrial aerial. I plan to have Sky HD in the Living Room with output via RF2 to the two...

Hi all, Making plans to renovate my first apartment. I'm going from this: and thinking of going to this: As you can see I am creating an internal hallway to solve some layout/fire escape route issues but know this space will be dark. I had planned to block off the...

It is high up, 3rd floor. Does this make a difference?

Thanks guys. I plan to get a pro in to do it, maybe offer myself as labour to see how things are done?

I've had an offer accepted on a flat, my first property, and am looking to make some changes. I plan to move from this as it is now: To this: As you can see I need to create a new stud wall to create a corridor, how long would it take to put something like that up...

Hi all, I've had an offer accepted on a flat, my first property, and am looking to make some changes. I plan to move from this as it is now: To this: My three priorities were: - Blocking the door off between the two bedrooms. - Having a new seperate shower fitted in...

Thanks for the responses guys. I think you're right, looking around it just seems 65% off expensive stuff anyway! I'll wait.

Thanks John! And don't worry I was 100% joking about the shopping to BC bit :) You're right though, I better put meeting the neighbours on my todo list and stock up on "sorry about the noise" bottles of wine :P

Hi all, I'm going to be fitting a new bathroom in a 2 bed flat around about the end of May. The bathroom store at the moment has the stuff I think I'll need at 50% off plus an extra 15% if I order before Monday. At these prices am I stupid to hesitate or will I get a better deal...

Hi guys, Pretty simple yet vague question really. What considerations do I need to give to telephone/computer networking in a 2 bed flat I'm refurbing (see the projects folder). Do I need anything more than telephone points nowadays with wireless etc being so readily available ? If I...

haha thanks Feddy!! I do like the practical benefits even with the loss of living room space. Now is there a reward scheme for shopping the other flat owners to Building Control that might pay for the extra works?? haha :lol:

Owain: It sure will, but I was always planning to create a natural walkway behind a sofa with the TV on the west hand wall anyway, so I'm only really losing that space really although it will feel and look smaller with a physical stud wall there. Leccy: Your plans are good and if I didn't...

Thanks so much for your time Owain, much appreciated. Does this give you an indication of the space? These are not exact measurements as it was just me with my measuring tape! I've allowed 1m for the width of the hallway to match the one there already.

With the wonders of MS Paint this is the efect on the lounge! to this (without glazing) If I was doing it as an investment Owain I think I would go your route but as it's for me there's a couple of issues: 1) I don't like the idea of a shower room of the living room. 2)...
