    Tiled garden table for pizza oven

    Hi all I'm planning to build a simple garden table for my pizza oven and the table will double up to hold a few potted plants also. Nothing too fancy construction wise but I'm considering a nice decorative tiled top to make it look decent. The pizza oven weighs around 9kg and my table...

    Maybe one of these could work? https://www.screwfix.com/p/schneider-electric-lisse-10ax-1-gang-2-way-rocker-switch-white/9180X?tc=TB9&ds_kid=92700055281954484&ds_rl=1249401&gclid=CjwKCAjw9r-DBhBxEiwA9qYUpf73LV0LLX--3tjECDHr-IP3H1X6KbaSuwYWtWaaDJQBY9lkRrlXwBoCLkkQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

    Can I install a switch for mains powered led lights?

    Hi all We have some under cabinet LED lights installed in our kitchen that are managed by a light switch that is on a wall in the kitchen. Is there a way I could install a small rocker switch under the cabinet itself to allow me to switch the lights on/off as well more directly - ie leave the...

    Switch with neon

    Hi all Thanks for the many replies! To clarify the room has a shower with a bog (I'm a Brit!) ... and the fan doesn't have a timer unfortunately as I did consider this. Also changing the fan is not something I'm planning on doing. The switch is in the corridor so not always obvious that its...

    Switch with neon

    Hi all We have a downstairs bathroom/wc which has no windows and has a switch on the outside of the room. Finding that the kids are often leaving the switch on (so LED lights and extractor fan run continuously). :( We had a case where the fan was running all day I was hoping that I could...

    Wiring up new hallway lights - wires question

    Hi all I'm replacing my two hallway lights with new fittings - each light runs off an independent switch and we're not looking to change that. However looked at changing one over today and was faced with more wires than the new fitting will take. hall light 1 by tygerbright posted 24 Jun 2017...

    Watering my veg patch - hands-free!

    Hi Tigercubrider So if I understand correctly, in this set up I'd run a diverter from the down pipe and then run a long flexible hose from the diverter and thread it under the shed perhaps and up into the butt inlet? How high would the diverter need to be fit to the downpipe in this case...

    Hi Doggit So something like this? Screen Shot 2017-05-01 At 22.45.07 by rashomon posted 1 May 2017 at 10:49 PM Having the diverter connected higher up makes life a lot easier as it will be harder to measure levels etc and also easier to just work with from an access perspective so I like the...

    Watering my veg patch - hands-free!

    Thanks for all the replies Not sure I want to rig up addition pipe work to run water from the shed itself. Yup - the acidic needles are an issue but have a canopy that covers the veg plot. Hoping this will do the trick for us. If I position the butt to the left of the shed will the diverter...
