I agree notb665 - what a good point.

Hoping you can help: the spotlights that my wife (and I, of course! :roll: ) are 4 per pack and run off a transformer which is also the plug. As we would like 30 lights in total, we neither want 8 bulky transformer/plugs plugged in or have the facilities (8 sockets). I did prepare a live...

Thanks for your reply - but it is still doing it! Very frustrating.

Even though I have selected that I do not want Norton to scan outgoing emails, it still does. Do you know how to stop it doing this?

Thanks for the advice. Much appreciated. lmao. That has been mentioned! Here's the decking it could go into:

This one: http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp;jsessionid=12WKNMM2ZSJKMCSTHZOCFFA?id=20170&ts=40958 W x D x H: 2960 x 4340 x 2900mm.

Wow thanks yeah. Any need for metal rods in the piers? How wide should the holes for the piers be?

Thanks for the replies so far. I am quite handy I think, I have built a double skinned 13 m long brick wall wih 7 piers and steps, installed bathrooms with copper plumbing, re-wired my whole house, installed kitchens, laid ceramic floor tiles, laid elevated decking on posts, decorating, so...

I would like to erect a shed, but need it about 500mm off the ground. What would be the best way to do this? Thank you.

I think they sound excellent!

Thank you both - very helpful. Just a couple more questions then: When you say size - do you mean what I would probably wrongly call seal? I was going to use PVA:water 1:5, but you say a good quality matt emulsion thinned down. With what? To what ratio? A light colour, right? And... why do...

Hi, hoping you can help. I have some plain plasterboard of which the edges are indistinguishable as they have been taped and patched. Would it be possible to line these walls with lining paper, I have some 1400 grade and 1000 grade already I used for another job - would either of these...

I've got a shed, and I'd like to play a lot of guitar in it, but I don't want to annoy the neighbours. I wouldn't want to get cold either. I've looked at some sites for sound insulation, but there seems to be a lot out there with hard-to-compare specifications. What would you recommend?

Thank you. Sorry I have been tardy about replying, nothing came through on my email about someone replying, and so I know I might be replying to an old post, but it goes against everything I know not to say thank you! Thanks again.

Hi, is it possible to lay laminate flooring around a toilet as so to make the finish where the ceramic meets the wood neat? If it is, how do I do it?

The PROFESSOR is mad if he thinks the density of water is 1km/m^3.

Two years ago I laid some laminate flooring in a room about 6 feet by 4 feet. I didn't put those cork strips round the outside. Nothing bad happened. This room was removed but I saved the laminate flooring - and now I am going to use it elsewhere, on an even smaller room. Should I use...

One of these: On my towel rail there are 4 sockets - 2 for the feed/return, 1 for the bleed valve and one for the picture above (without the 'nut'). It came with one but I have either lost it (as opened the pack 1 year ago) or wasn't one in there to start with.

Boo hoo! I have mislaid my 15mm stop end which is chrome - the sort that goes on them fandangled chrome towel rails. And I can't find anywhere round here that does them - not the sheds or the Plumb 'Center' or screwfix. Can anyone help me find one?

I installed a towel rail in my downstairs bathroom as part of the central heating system: everything fine, no problems. I have a much smaller one to go in the upstairs loo. As the room is small and not used very often I have installed electric power to it - I didn't think it was worth...
