Know what you mean, why risk getting your head bitten off, sad but true.

Yes, thanks, that was our thoughts, but needed confirmation, do we tell him or not is our next question ?!

Hi, Been watching someone build a shed/home office type structure, but think they are doing it wrong, but do not want to say anything to upset them if we are wrong, so would like to know whos right ? They have constructed the base as below onto compacted mot , but the floor bearers have...

Thanks all, Any thoughts about sound insulating the bedroom ceiling from inside the loft ?

Hi, Our bedrooms face a local but busier through road about 30-40mtrs away which is generally not too bad but with so many folk using badly or un-silenced cars and bikes it can be disturbing. Two questions please - - what is the best type of glazing against such noise, we currently have...

Thanks, but we have plenty of time on our hands with all these lockdowns etc, plus it will help keep us active ! That was our thinking as well, have seen an identical pattern /size on ebay, ( not that many of them around these days) so will try repainting that and get the local garage to swap...

Hi, There are a few small rim /kerb marks, nothing very heavy, its the central area around the four stud holes that look really bad with flaking and bubbling, the actual holes looking very black. Appreciate what the pros do, but as said they want a lot of money and the car for a week. Have...

Hi, Most places refurbishing alloy wheels need the car for about a week, unless you happen to have a spare set of wheels! so not keen on loosing the car for a week, plus being rather old ( the car and us ! :D) cannot really justify the £250+ they want for doing 4 wheels. Quiet a few ytubes on...

Hi, As far as I can remember the pdfs were from Hilook site, but looking now its not there. Just that the T120M has been out of stock at all the suppliers listing it at a reasonable price, ordered from one who listed 10+ in stock but actually had none and sent a T223 instead but thats the...

Hi, Thanks, but we just need a couple of 2mps replacements for this old DVR wired system which is only 1080p max. It is the MC code, not with a microphone , pdfs attached.

Hi, Looking at the Hilook THC-T120 cameras but there are two versions , the T120M and the T120MC. The only difference we can see from the datasheets is that the M has a low light level of 0.01 Lux and the MC is 0.02 Lux, though do not know if that is enough difference to create a different...

Thanks all, still not found any proper adapter to buy, so have been trying to reseal the joints we have already made with mastic instead of silicone. Think the stormy weekend ahead will soon show if its been effective !

Thanks, had seen that one, but its outside diamenter is 68mm, seems its for the gulleys narrower outlet. I need to put the new 68mm OD downpipe into an adapter that then fits inside the 63mm old pipe.

Hi, Fitted new Floplast guttering with 68mm downpipes, but the original 40 years old pipes measure approx 63mm OD. Is there an adapter for joining these 68 to 63mm pipes ? Not found any after many web searches. The 68mm pipe does fit over the 63mm and thought that would work with some...

Hi again, Spent the part of the day setting up the s/hand dvr and just one camera , on a short bit of old cable up against a window! but yes it works well, But only during daylight ! these old cameras, 720p I think, do not have IR. So, while we could see cctv is a system that could work for...

Thanks all, as said its a free s/h system from a friend whos upgraded his system. Often thought about getting some cameras , so this give us a chance to try before we buy anything expensive. Only need a short coverage distance, not into or needing ANPR !:D @scott1980 did not know of those...

Hi, Am installing a second hand 2MP AHD from a friend, but need some RG59 cable, probably Shotgun as that seems to be cheaper than buying a separate .75mm power cable. Seem there are varying qualities, some say with Solid Copper Conductor, (the best ?) others with copper clad Alum or Steel...

Hi, Have the above diy alarm system running fine for 4 years, windows and doors fitted the magnetic sensors and one internal PIR. Am experiencing a very random problem, say once every couple of months, which make it difficult to isolate /prove if its a sensor. Have the main house door and...

Hi, The "room" is totally enclosed, no windows, just a solid thick insulated door. It generally feels dry, no signs of any drips or anything like that, but with all the models metal parts they want to ensure corrosion is not a long term problem. After a couple of hours use, you do notice how...

Hi, Been helping out on a model rail room 8x5 ft which is in an extension to an external garage. It has block walls and then 75mm of insulation before a plasterboard lining. Though generally feeling quiet dry, a couple of large kilrock moisure traps do fill up over a month or two and after...
