Thanks guys, that provides me with a lot more reassurance

Hi, I'm looking to get the loft boarded in a new build house. I'll be looking to use the LoftZone system, but currently in a dilemma which board to use. The LoftZone shop are currently selling Supreme Loft Boards which are P5 (which is moisture resistant and load bearing), however, the...

thanks, it's quite expensive for one camera - but will look around.

Thanks for the post aptsys - do you have any recommendation of cameras - probably best to go on what others have tried and tested in the field and are satisfied with.

Thanks for the replies, good call on recording on low frame rate and then go full frame on motion detection. Has motion detection gotten any better - my old apollo hd from qvis/adata - motion detection is pretty poor - if it rains, bugs flying by etc motion detection kicks in. Have any of the...

Hi, Would highly appreciate any recommendations for ip camera + NVR CCTV system. It is for my mother's shop. The shop is in an inner city area and she has had a few problems of late with one particularly nasty individual leaving dog mess every few days. Police couldn't care less as usual...

Thanks, I'm not one to dismiss things on a whim - I use a mobile phone - we've all heard the stories around that. I had walked into Wickes, picked up a can of expanding foam - happened to read the back of the can - whether it's suitable to use this time of year - and there it was - a warning...

Thanks Doggit! - sound advice there mate!- think that is the probably the best way to go - good take on life too!

I was just about to buy expanding foam - when reading on the back it said - this can cause cancer! then reading on the internet - it has been deemed toxic - even if they say it's only at the point of application or if the can isn't shaken well etc - why take the risk! is there a non-toxic...

Hi, I'm struggling to find out what type of screws or the best method of fixing a wooden gate to an existing iron gate frame. Currently we have an iron gate (side gate), to make it less easy to climb over, I'd like to put a wooden gate on the front of it (just one you get ready made from...

well, it no longer works by applying gentle force. I turned off electrics, opened it up, and the internal dial rotated and clicked, left it in place, put cover back on. turned on electrics and shower working. so now having to turn shower on/off via fuse switch. It looks like you just can't...

Hi, I've also notice if you apply a little force/pressure to the knob and then turn it, the shower turns on. Would this still indicate a problem with the switch? Is there a definitive way to know if it is the switch and not the knob not catching? Thanks.

Hi, I've a triton caselona ii shower and lately the dial knob to turn shower on/off is playing up. You have to keep trying to turn it on/off several times and eventually it turns on. Turning off isn't a problem only turning on. I've taken the case off couldn't see any obvious problem as...

I was going to use coloured stone chippings as a border - so could remove surface level soil away from post. The chap who installed the fence panels used metal spikes drove them in so top of spike support sits flush at surface level and then used postcrete in and around the spike. The idea...

Thanks for the replies, so is the concern that it will loose its natural timber colour and fade to a less appealing colour - rather than any sort of rot or decay settling in?

Hi guys, Bit confused as to whether I need to treat my fence. I have bought a sussex wave type fence panel from selco (8 fence panels 1.8m x 1.8m) along with wood posts (100mm x 100mm) and metal spikes. The fence panel and post have been pressure treated I'm told. So does this mean...

Too lame - doesn't have a pir attached :mrgreen: I want some pop-up mini-guns :twisted:

Yes, I haven't ruled it out as such, I'm exploring my options, and on the side I'm thinking of ways to minimise any blind spots and also hide it somehow, using garden type paraphernalia. The beams seem more appropriate to what I'm trying to achieve. I'm trying to cover the entrance to the...

The problem with that is, it would leave open an area where someone could sneak up the side and put a bag or something over the pir.

sorry buddy, think I missed your post. I've often wondered if remotes could be hacked and some sort of relay switch put in. It does sound good, as there are quite a few sockets with rf remotes, but just not sure what sort of hack/parts would be required. Plus would also need some sort of...
