cheers guys, appreciate any input. :D anybody care to comment on those prices? thanks Steve

the details are thus. They are fitting my kitchen at the moment and moving my boiler from the understair area to the kitchen. I've agreed a separate price for that. So i asked for a price to install a sink, rad and toilet in the area under the stairs. All the plumbing is already there from...

Just been quoted £420 to plumb in a cloakroom toilet, small rad and a sink. existing plumbing is there for rad and sink. Soil pipe is directly accessible for the toilet. Thought this was a bit on the expensive side, any thoughts. Also, was quoted £600 to line the cloakroom with...

sorry guys. single built in electric oven and gas hob. Don't know the new oven rating as it's under a pile of boxes. Currently there are two double sockets in the kitchen. One has two spurs running the cooker and another double socket. The other socket spur is a double socket. I've...

Hi guys. Getting my new kitchen fitted on Monday and i was having a look at the electrics installed by previous owner. I was always wondered why my cooker didn't have an isolator switch and i just found out that the cooker is wired as a spur to a double socket that also has a spur for some low...

anybody else care to chip in their 2p, before i bring my roof down lol.

i wouldn't mind seeing those pics too.

pretty nifty, you should make a few kits up and sell em on ebay. How much was the total outlay, including transformer.

So has anybody done this, by that i mean got advice from and SE? Does he basically say "yes it can be done" or "no it cannot" I ask because my Uncle and my father in law both have the same house as me and they both had their lofts done this way 10-15 years ago with no adverse effects (thus...

I am in the middle of getting my loft floored and installing partition walls and ceiling. The house is circa 1920 and does not have gang nail trusses, instead there are 2x4 cross members, which are below head height, ideally i want to move them up around 12", to give a more reasonable head...

best post ever :lol: To the OP can't believe you seriously considered f4nny. pmsl Just ask her what she wants to call it and see what she says?

OK guys thanks. It is an old fitting, might be best to just replace it.

Hi, i have a fluorescent strip light in the loft that started going flaky. It stopped firing but manual "jiggling" of the lamp while it was on would make it fire up, but only if i held the bulb in a certain position. I took it apart and looked at all the connections and it all looks good. I...

christ :shock:

Everybody i know who has had a plasterboard ceiling put up has always paid a plasterer to skim it. I got a ceiling put up in my loo and i didn't want to pay a plasterer to skim it so i used joint paper and compound to seal the joins and just compund on the screw holes Then i painted it...

All good advice. I bought a 25KG bag of thistle bonding and a plastering trowel today, plus some PVA. I'll give it a go on Sunday and post the results. 25kg bag was only £5.50 :D all the <10kg bags were around £4.00 Bloody false economy.

yeah i know, i could eat a jar of beetroot no probs.

Never tried marmite, but i think i'd like it. Does it taste like bovril?

toast both sides. Grate your cheese into a bowl, add in some diced toms and a wee bit of onion, pepper, woost sauce and tabasco. it's the law.

Aye, I've played a fair bit of UT2004 in my time, BF2, Desert combat, Call of Duty etc FPS all the way. :wink:
