Thanks guys, well I moved the shed out, I used a shovel to lever it up, then put some metal bars underneath to act as rollers. I'll have a think, it rained last night and is dry inside but I think it's best to redo or seal it somehow. Cheers,

Hi guys, Hope everyone is well and nearly ready for Christmas! Yesterday I took delivery of one of my presents - a shed! All excited and wanting to get it up whilst we had a day of dry (first one in two weeks) I battled the wind and put it up. However in my rush I tacked the roof felt to the...

So I am at the end of my tether with this. We had a leak in a bad storm which resulted in water coming through the plaster in the bedroom. I went into the loft and the leak was in the worst of places to get to. The ceilings up stairs are high, and ceiling is pitched as it gets towards the...

Sorry yes, walls of text are annoying. I have the door fitted now, and it closes all of the way around apart from the closing bottom corner. I've ran some sheets of paper all around the bottom, top and side near the hinges and also the face of the door, and it travels around it ok. The door...

Ok, so I took the door off today, straightened the bottom edge then rebuilt the step, I then made a wedge for the top corner that was shaved down and tacked it on, then smoothed the join with epoxy resin, just waiting for the paint to dry now to see how it looks!

I decided to fit a nice new (old) front door to our house. It had a modern door on, and being a house that was built in the 920's I wanted a door to match. I searched and found a suitable door that we loved the look of. I spent two weeks stripping and prepping the door, epoxying the cracks...

Wow lol. Can't say I enjoyed it either, and it's so annoying having perfect walls and then having to ruin one!

Ok so I managed to get three good fixings in the brick, and the three dodgy ones in mortar I driled out larger (but not as large as some doweling I had). Pre tapped the doweling then hammered them into the holes, they went in super tight. I then filled around the edges, dried and painted then...

Well, we have been redecorating our bedroom, and along with that have had to touch up and re-skim the old walls to make them good. We finally had the finished product with the walls all painted, then I remembered I had to attach the TV bracket to the wall! So, I started with a small drill...

Managed to find some at screwfix, thanks very much :) I was searching everywhere for four way and no joy. I tried intermediate it just came up with a few touch sensitive switches in a couple of places but Screwfix have them :D Thanks, I thought I was going crazy! I always thought they...

Ok I am officially stupid, it helps if I spell intermediate correctly when searching :/ Thanks for the reply :)

Thanks already did that still didn't find any locally at all :/

I believe they can also be know as intermediate, but still can't find one anywhere...

Four terminals, not 2 or 3. The switch that goes in the middle of the circuit to cross the other two sources over and enable switching of the same source from three switches. The wiring in the house is wired in such a way that you need two 3 way switches and one four way in the middle.

Hi, This is driving me crazy, my house has three switches, a four way in the middle downstairs which has cracked. I am looking for a 4-way stainless switch to replace the plastic one and to match the other stainless, but before we even get into that, no one I can find even sells a regular...

The bathroom is fairly big and I woudln't have worried at all, but due to the shower there can be some fair condensation in there with the temp ramped up on the shower, as it is the over the bath type. If it was just the case of water, I would have said that no direct contact with water would...

Done :)

That's great thanks. I bought mine without really thinking and as the lights were recessed in and they are on the ceiling in the centre the chances of water directly getting on them is slim, but I didn't really think about the condensation too much, I sealed around the back plate the the...

Hi, No I'm asking how they are IP rated (spotlight specific for GU10 for bathrooms) as to me it looks as though the other IP44 rated units have bulbs sticking out and just a seal over the back of the bulb, other than that it they look like a normal unit. I wanted to know what to look for...

Oh yes, I have googled everywhere and searched the forum, but I can't find the answers to my question. Thanks.
