Thanks for the quick reply, but you may have to help a little. I buy the lighting unit, run cable from it to inside (normal t/e? external cable? in conduit?) and connect it into a fused switch, which then connects to the ring or b plug into a socket? Anything specific because the light is...

Hi there I have recently seen advertised a kit that allows you to connect a halogen outdoor light into a normal inside circuit. I believe the kit included the halogen light, 10m of cable, a breaker, and a plug (or something like that). Problem is, I can't remember where I saw it. Could...

Hi This post kind of relates to this: //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=36470 but I hope to get a specific answer in this, the correct forum. We have a few cables running through holes through the centres of joists in our cellar ceiling. We want to put some insulation between...

Hi Please excuse the funny title, but the post concerns all the above, hance it being posted in here rather than a specific area. OK, our 1902 mid terrace has two cellar rooms, below our lounge and kitchen respectively. In order to run new electrics and other practical and aesthetic...

Brilliant, thank you so much for this. Did the trick as advised. What is the cause of this problem, if it is a common solution, why tuck the button away where most consumers would have no idea? Thanks again, and to everybody for the lightning fast replies. Is there any advice to prevent...

Just confirmed that the boiler was working this afternoon, so has definately worked since yesterday's power off. Even more puzzling. Help ! :cry:

Hi there Baxi 80Eco installed pre christmas. We had to turn off electrics to modify the circuit elsewhere yesterday. This afternoon I notice no hot water. I go to the boiler with the DHW tap on, and the only light is the power light. Burner on neon does not light, nor does flame failure...

Cables run vertically, no bends to the bottom of the first socket, then straight out of the top to the next one. So there is no regulation that says they must be plastered in? Just that I can fit the units today and make some progress rather than have to plaster them in and take longer...

Hi The wiring is in the kitchen. From floor level to sockets at counter-top level, which then continues to above the wall cabinets to another socket that will provide power for lights. I am merely running the cable, a quilified part P electrician is connecting and testing. Obviously...

Hello. When chasing cables into a wall that are going to have fixed units covering them, is it necessary to plaster them in, or can they just be fixed using the approprite cable clips? Thanks

No, I wasn't doing something I shouldn't, but I knew you would state that I was. :) Are we having fun yet? ______________________________-- moderator chinesewhispers, please note 10 a your post has been edited

If I asked how much the Mona Lisa was worth, would it be the same as asking how much I could get for it?

At no point did I ask "How much can I get for..." At no point did I ask if anyone wanted to buy anything. At no point did I ask if anyone was selling anything. At no point did I state I was selling anything. Yes this is a DIY forum, but it has a large membership of tradespeople. It...

I understand fully what you mean, and accept the rules. But I am not trying to break any rules, or be funny. I have done a quick scan on Google, for reclaimed bricks in Yorkshire, and found that they appear to go for about £400 per thousand from retailers. I was asking for people's...

Now let's not try and be funny. I am not looking for offers. I am asking for people with genuine experience of dealing with such items to pass on their experience.

I actually appear to have 400-500 of these bricks. I will not start a new post, I wouldn't want to incur the wrath of the breezer twice ! :) I will merely restate my question, in the hope of getting an answer: Has anyone bought or sold used bricks in the past? If so could they please...

It's northern milk :) and I am still srting them from the rubble, and cleaning them up, but I reckon I may have somewhere between one and two hundred, though not yet counted. Maybe I should rephrase the post: If anyone has bought or sold used bricks in the past, could they please post...

He he. My point is that, there must be an average price for a brick, maybe a London price, and a Northern price. Indeed I could put an ad locally, or on ebay, but somebody on here must have either bought or sold a reclaimed brick, and could give me an IDEA of a price. I think they are...

I expect this to get the usual breezer response of see item x, but anyway. After some structural work to our property (and some clearing out of the cellar) we have quite a few original bricks, many of which are whole and in good condition. My question is how much could these bricks be...

Hi there We are about to start a long run of work on our property, several jobs that will be done over time to achieve an end result. Briefly these are: ----- Removal of the front of the chimney in the kitchen to make way for a new range-style hob/ovens; Possible removal of...
