Thanks for all your comments. You have given me perspective on the issue. Looks like things are not meant to last. If it gets me to the January sales I will replace then. Thanks, again

Thanks. I got the location dimensions out a little. The moon spot is ~ 400mm from the left of the screen and ~ 200mm from the top of the screen. Looking forward to your comments. Pics attached

Thanks for your comments. However, my TV has no damage, so there is no risk of condensation ingress in the way you suggest.

I have a Samsung 55" curved screen smart TV which is ~ 8 years old. Within the last couple of months a "misty moon" has appeared about 100mm from the left and the same down from the top of the screen. It's only about 20mm diameter but appears on live TV or recorded TV programmes and on...

Thanks for your comments.

I'm happy to use reducers. What I don't know is how the reducers work, i.e. are they only to be used in one direction or are they bi-directional ? Logically, I could fit a 40-50mm reducer to the 40mm waste coming out, then fit the 112.5degree 50mm bend to the 50mm end of the reducer, then fit a...

Hello. I recently had a loft conversion installed where there is a 40mm (43mm external) basin waste pipe positioned to come out vertically through the soffit of my bungalow and attach to a 68mm rainwater vertical downpipe some 3 ft away from where the 40mm pipe exits the soffit. This has been...

My LVP in the hallway has been down for 6 years and still looks good. It is laid lengthways along a hallway some 7metres long. the width of the laid LVP is ~1.4m plus the door entries of which there are 1 at either end and 1 either side some 5m along the run. There are 7 boards across plus the...

Hello. Is the forum still operating or is there a different reason why I have not received a response ? I appreciate that advice in this forum is free and advice, in the past, has always been helpful. Thanks, in anticipation.

I have seen some threads related to insulating stud walls in dormer bungalow eaves spaces and some references to VCL but it's not clear for me and I don't want to do the wrong thing. I have a dormer bungalow where I walk through the back of a dormer bedroom wardrobe into the eaves space...

Thanks, JP_. Appreciated.

Hello, I have seen a few threads on this topic but some questions remain for me. I have a 1970's dormer with suspended wooden floorboards. The last EPC recommended floor insulation to improve the energy performance of the property. I've had other floorboards up and there is about 10" (250mm)...

Thanks, conny. Very helpful, too .

Thanks, TTC. It sounds like there is nobody out there who provides the service to use their expensive cable locator, for the odd 10 minutes, for a small fee. Hey, ho. Long way round it is. Thanks again.

Thanks for the advice, AndyPRK. EddieM, I did get the use of the neighbour's explosives sniffer dog but that didn't work, either :) TTC, Please see the attached photo. Not a good one as the wooden post that the sockets are mounted on backs up to well established bushes, but the mystery grey...

resized it :)

Thanks, Jackrae. problem with that is that I don't know where the feed is from. If I could trace the cable, I could determine where the feed is from. TTC, the plastic "trunking" I refer to is like a rigid grey plastic pipe, about 25mm dia. Sounds like you are actually recommending me to put the...

Hello, I can't see the cable as it is inside, what looks like, 25mm plastic trunking fixed to and behind the mounting post on which the socket units are mounted and I assume that the cable must go through the post to the socket units. Can't upload the picture (via Upload a file) as I keep...

Hello, I have an outside double power socket about 50 feet from my house, in my back garden. Been there since we moved in 5 years ago. No trouble. Handy for plugging the mower into. I want to put a flagged path in the area where, I think, the underground power cable is routed to the outside...

Thanks JayDIY and pach1962. I didn't need much convincing to change the 2x2 idea. I just wanted to hear it from real people iso people trying to sell me something. Stay safe.
