If the doorbell is on the front brickwork and the cable goes through the upvc it will have to run over the exterior corner of the brick and into the doorbell unit. Since this is a security video doorbell if someone walks up and cuts the cable then it's useless. That said, after thinking about it...

I'm installing a Ring Pro doorbell/security camera. My upvc Front door is at the front of a small porch like entrance and so the brickwork carries on into the porch. I need to run the power wire to the Ring unit and whilst I can run it easily through the corner of the doorframe, I'd rather...

Cheers dude, that's good advice.

I'm DIY building a large number of big wooden planters out of 2x2 stock. I'll need to crosscut 100s of boards, fairly accurately. My current tools are: Crosscut hand saw Jigsaw I'm aware that the 'proper' tool for the job is a chop saw or mitre saw, however once this job is done I'm unlikely...

Good point, I hadn't thought that through too well!! I'll be installing the gas vents tomorrow! Thanks

I've just had an 18 ft by 8 ft wooden workshop installed. It's got no windows since I wanted to make it secure (it will house all my tools, bikes etc) and I *may* convert it into a cinema room at a later date. I've spent the last few days insulating it. After spending the past few months...

kazuya, the workshop is a large 36ft x 8ft version of this: By blue bricks do you mean engineering bricks? I've not heard of them otherwise. Surely an inch will make a big difference! I could shim the other bricks with slate but THAT feels like a bodge to me... isn't it?

Thanks r896neo, fair points - that's exactly why I posted here before heading out to HSS! Since I've been unable to get a quote for re-leveling with a new layer of concrete (The builders I spoke to all told me that it wouldn't cure properly because of the frost) I guess my only 'quick' option...

Update: I've re-looked at the middle slab - it's about 6 foot wide and 10ft long. The slab is 1inch higher at one of the 6ft ends. I also wondered how much it would be to get a trench dug next to the raised slab end and lower it by lifting it and removing some material from under the slab...

I've got a large 80ft area covered with 30+ year old concrete slabs. I've dug around them and they are c.6 inches deep. The middle one is higher at one edge (by about an inch). I can only guess that a tree root has lifted it over the years (there is a 10ft eucalyptus nearby). The other end is...

Hi guys, I'd appreciate any input! I want a 12m x 3m workshop in my garden which can be used comfortably all year round. I'm in the North of England so temp ranges from -5 to 28 with lots of wind and rain. Situation: Firstly I'm on a budget of around £5k for a phase 1 which needs to get me a...

righto, I will take the back off in the morning and have a look. Cheers chap!

Rocks, Thanks for the quick response. I've removed and cleaned filter at the bottom of the machine, though it wasn't blocked and the problem persists. As for the brushes, whilst the drum has some play, it really doesn't feel any more than before - there is also no grinding or knocking...

I own an AEG OKO-Lavamat 74640Update washing machine which has started malfunctioning. When I press the "Start/Pause" button to start a washing program (or rinse, or drain), it seems like it is going to start, quiet whirring/buzzing sounds are heard (although the drum never starts turning)...
