Not possible, I did stick a piece of wire in and it didn't seem to go all the way through

Yep, with gravel

Hi all I've had a builder build a retaining wall double width. I asked him to ensure it had weep holes with gravel backfill to let any water through. So he built what looks a decent wall. But he's put weep vents in the front skin of brick, the kind of weep vents you put in a cavity...

MAny thanks

Hi All I'm replacing my guttering and downpipes. I ordered all the stuff I needed but accidently ordered 92.5 degree connectors to offset from the guttering (currently it's 112). My question is, is there any problem with me using the 92's instead of the 112's? Thanks

Following your advice I removed all three switches only to find a wire had somehow come out the back of the hallway switch - I screwed it back in and now all is well. Should have looked at them all in the first place - shouldn't have assumed that wires can't work there own way loose...

I don't think a cable TV cable would go off like a firework when hit with a pick?

I've just checked the size of the cable going into my electric box in the cupboard and it looks the same width....? My house was built in the 60's?

Hi that seems to make sense though there is nothing out the front for it to go to but the street?

Hi All, I've begun a project laying a new drive where previously I had a lawn, while digging out 8 inches down I struck a cable with my pick axe and sparks flew! The cable is only about half an inch across not the kind of cable I would expect to be supplying my house! Also the depth -...
