Sam. The TV is old but not sure what age. Sanyo model CTP 3131. Serial number L8030253. RF channel is 46, that is the only one that picks up a signal. The cable is 1m in length. Signal not sure as i cant read the screen but everything else on my aerial is 71%. Regards Mark

Just an update. Pretty much bang on. I have the Freeview installation screen on the tv but it continues to roll/flicker up and down the screen. I've tuned it in the best I can on the tv. Would this require me to put a booster in the aerial to sort this out? I have noticed on all my other TV's...

Thanks Plugwash.

Firstly is it possible? Its an old TV with push buttons for the channels 1-8. I have a freeview box and bought an RF modulator. I have tried to source images of how to wire these in the correct order. I have seen some diagrams whereby a VCR is required. Is there a way around making this work...

Mike, I'm no roofing expert but i had the same problem in my mid terrace (1895). Heavy rain would create browning on ceiling above chimney breast and would also run behind the plaster. Haunching was completely jiggered, you could slot £1 coins down the gap easily and can only say...

Thanks for the replies. I have strengthened the roof previously by fitting 3"x2" joists across from wall plate to wall plate and braced further up the pitch for good measures as i initially thought the cracks in the single skin walls were due to the roof spreading. I will get some off cuts...

I have a little summer project on the cards. I have an a couple of "cramped" rooms forming my outbuildings that i want to give a face lift to and make more usable. A while back with all neighbors agreeing we lobbed a tree down which stood behind. Now i can only think tree roots shrinkage...

Just thought i'd put some final photo's up. Break in the weather last week allowed me to get the job done. Have since trimmed the front up but haven't uploaded photos yet. Thanks for all your advice.

Hi there, I have a solid fuel range in the kitchen that i have been using regularly for the past 18 months with no problems. I burn wood and coal and keep it well serviced (swept twice a year). Now the property next door shares my chimney (i'm a middle terrace) although looking at photos on...

Thanks tony, as you say no real problem i guess just like to be prepared really. I have uploaded some images, it would appear the same amount of frame is exposed externally as internally, so if it is set back am i gonna have to fight it out and knock the finished plaster and render off?

My House is circa 1890, English bond solid wall construction and i'm looking to install a new frame and door (wood not PVC). Can i ask, what should i expect to find? Does the existing frame sit back and therefore the headers on the door reveal are only half brick? Or does the frame sit within...

I may have committed a cardinal sin and undone all my hard work! With peoples advice and guidance on here i managed to re-glaze and re-hang 5 sash windows in the spring of this Year 2012. Now i may have been foolish but i'll use it as a learning curve i painted my first window inc putty after...

Thanks Big Al, I've attached an image just so i know i'm on the right lines. Appreciate the help. Mark No Image :roll: web link...

Thanks for the advice i will follow that and yes i've got the loan of a nail gun this weekend to fire into the grove so i guess that's secret nailed.

Hi all, Laying a floor to my front room in the next weekend. Boards have been acclimating for the past 2 weeks, now stained and oiled ready to be laid. To gain a level threshold with the kitchen the floor needs to be carried through at 60mm. Have 20mm T&G 5inch wide boards leaves 40mm. I've...

Thanks TPT. The floor has been down 10 months now and at a depth of 100mm with no UFH present. Your comment about the anhydrite screed has got me thinking. It was put through a pump flow system. There was surplus material that was dumped in the front garden for me to dispose of and it...

I'm after some advice and direction from those in the know, as to the best way of prepping a agilia screeded floor for laying 2" quarry tiles. I actually spoke to agilia they recommend sanding the floor to remove waxy curing agent (which i have done), score the floor (sounds extreme) and...

I went from 3mm glass to 6mm glass! Weighed the smaller of the sash window and both top and bottom came out @ 8kg each, not weighed the big ones yet. So on that basis 8kg / 2 = 4kg weights. Hear what you say about the bottom sash so will adjust that to say 3-3.5? ok? Original weights are...

Wish i could get my puttied corners like that! Since last time (although no photos to upload as yet) I've replaced 3 cills, time consuming when your muddling your way through it but look good. I ended up getting some 4mm pine strips from local DIY store, coated them in wood preserve...
