I'm guessing from the suggestions I've had so far, nobody thinks the Venetian route is the one really?

Thanks Gazman16. I've incorrectly said that we had integral blinds when we actually have perfectFit blinds in our patio door windows (they are also actually French doors, buts that's besides the point). So again, it's definitely a thought but we did want the larger Venetian look to cover the...

Thanks for the suggestion. We have some of those at the back in our patio window and although they would actually be a solution, we're really after the Venetian look in this front room. I'll mention that to the missus though.

Hello one and all, Getting straight to it... Situation I have a 5 bay windows both up and downstairs and want to fit venetian blinds. I've had quotes and a couple of people come and measure up and quote but none of them have given me definite solutions to the various issues detailed below...

Just to let you all know, I finally got round to installing the TV into the wall. To be honest, I still haven't fitted it fully so it's flush with the hole I created for it to go in but I'll do this eventually. The final result looks like this... File 03-01-2016 01 18 09 by delprimero posted 9...

Well it's all been installed now (apart from the tv). The infra red sensor was put up so the sensors is in the underside of the wall where the upper part of the wall has a slight lip to accommodate the frame of the top of the wall. Going to get the tv put in and tested as soon as I get a free...

Now, for me, that's an option but with my missus being accident prone... It just isn't the one! A permanent solution with no moving parts is the way I have to do things in my house.

I actually have one installed in the cabinet I bought for my ensuite. I think it's a great idea.

Ok, so I just bought the Infra Red Switch and I'll let you all know how it goes but any pointers before I install will be great.

I'm hoping to go with the infra red proximity switch but is there anything else I need to consider with that? I've run a couple of 2.5 T&E cables behind the frame (behind the board in the photo) and these were going to be spurred (hope that's the right terminology) off the socket upstairs in...

Thanks - these are definitely more like what I was after. I never thought of the simple timer plug adaptor... it's simple, cheap and would work.

:D

Yup! But it's a small trade-off for being able to live without being forced to watch Coronation Street or Eastenders in another room that I'm in. The agreement (in my mind) is that she can watch that chaff in there and take her time!

Thanks for that. I reckon the FCU would only get slightly steamed up but definitely isn't within a zone. I really do want to make it even a little more protected than just a switch though. Also, my Mrs didn't like the idea of basically a light switch (the size of it being the problem) on that...

Firstly, I'll start by saying that I have no electrical skills apart from basic changing a socket skills... I have a small bathroom that I've decided to put a waterproof TV in. The TV is going to go in the centre of a stud frame attached to a brick wall. The wall has been boarded and will...
