Hi, I wanted a TV in a bedroom which didn't have a coax point already in it. My partner got his 'guy' in to put the new point in, but to mount the TV on the wall too. I wanted the cables hidden. Now, I didn't see this after the guy had left as a cupboard sits in front of it and I only really...

Hi, we moved into a 1970 built bungalow built on a hill, and the bungalow has a double garage under the house (plus storage across the remaining footprint). The house is very hard to keep warm and it feels like a lot of the cold is coming up from the concrete floor. The ceiling of the garage...
