    Strange Vertical Crack Near Conservatory Door

    I am seeing a crack on the side of this door between the conservatory and the reception. I think this started first very small over the years, anything I can remember is from summer 2017. I have noticed some noise around the door in summer 2018 and the crack becoming slightly larger. There is...

    How hard is it to find the right transformer for led G4 bulbs

    Today i received the driver and installed it. Attached the disc led bulbs and it seems to work great. I had to make sure i understood how to attach the cable as the old one had a slightly different name and layout, so the new one with PIR and SEC is installed correctly (i think, nothing has...

    How hard is it to find the right transformer for led G4 bulbs

    Ok none of you guys are actually specific about the Amps. The guy at my local electric shop in Kenton, Harrow just told me that the 350mA that he had might be too much for what I needed and was going to burn them. He told me to look at Maplins but I cannot see anything that matches what i need...

    How hard is it to find the right transformer for led G4 bulbs

    I dont know much about electrics. So far I have replaced all my GU10 halogens to Leds without wondering about Transformers and the like. With the G4 lights in this bath cabinet https://photos.app.goo.gl/D69SNTbpqtIHLMoH3 I did the same, but here the story is a bit different. The light has this...

    Conservatory floor damp

    regarding the door skirting, there is just as much wood frame they could fit around. The concrete is not affected but indeed DPM is everywhere though I think the problem is because its finish is not good. If you see one of the images where the damp floor is visible you can see on the left under...

    Conservatory floor damp

    Thanks for the comment but the gutter joint above the door, and throughout the roof hedge, are working great. When it rains i see the first line of tiles next the gully fully dry and the water from the gutters comes through the ceramic gully fine down to the drain without spilling out on the...
