Thanks -useful stuff. Moving the wardrobes much further forward isn't really an option because of the size of the room. Irritatingly I've only just finished redoing the room a couple of months ago - re boarding the walls / replacing the floor, so wish I'd thought of this before! Oh well...

Hi, I have recently had neighbours move into the house next door for the first time since we've been here. This has taught me two things: - our walls are much worse at insulating sound than I thought - the neighbours are very loud As it happens, I intend to fit wardrobes to cover near...

Hi, I have recently stripped a room back to brick, and have decided to protect the electrical cables before boarding it up. What is the best type of conduit to use for: -cables as part of the ring main -cables running to lightswitches Would i be better off using round PVC conduit...
