    What size backbox do I need?

    I'm thinking of drilling through my external wall in downstairs living room, where my router is, to run a couple of cat6 cables up into the loft. On my internal wall, I'll fit a 2x RJ45 face plate but I'm unsure on the size of backbox I need. Thankfully, next to where I want to drill already...

    Problem with e-mail in windows live mail

    Mail isn't Outlook's predecessor and neither are prone to losing connection details. If you're having issues with either, definitely first look to see if updates are available. Mail is updated via the Microsoft Store and you can check for updates in Outlook from any Office app...

    Removing stump close to fence corner

    Nice one thanks for the insight Tigercubrider. I do have a mattock and pruning saw. Both so far have proven effective. Yeah that's a decent idea. Definitely umming and ahh-ing on that one.

    Removing stump close to fence corner

    This morning I started digging around the stump to find as many roots as possible. I was going to find all the roots I could, cut them and have a go at ripping the stump out. Then I realised maybe when the roots wither it'll cause movement and damage to the fencing. I bounced the idea with...

    Hive Active Heating on combi boiler

    Ah, she's now working. Yes, that was my wiring set up. Your question whether heating worked before or not made me disconnect Hive and reconnect Honeywell - heating proved fine with Honeywell. I also noticed the whole "timer or room stat off" message on screen was a red herring as that showed...

    Hive Active Heating on combi boiler

    Hi stem! I got stuck in and had a go. Unfortunately the heating isn't turning on. I put wire NO in terminal 3, I think I understand this is what sends the signal to turn the heating on or off. I've tried reseating them but I'm confident contact is OK within the plates of the terminals. During...

    Trying it on

    Yeah, sure. I mean, the words were "I have a young relative who wants to get in to computers". One step at a time ;)

    Best value Kaspersky

    Upgrading to Win10 will give you Defender and that is fine. Microsoft update their definition files every 4 hours and is just as good as a product as any other. Though I appreciate that's a personal opinion and others buy in to third-party products by personal preference but usually it's on the...

    Are Desktop Icons Safe

    Hi Not sure I follow. You want to tidy up your desktop by presumably removing some icons or shortcuts, but you're asking what ones to download with intent to tidy up. Adding more icons or shortcuts doesn't feel like tidying up to me :) Icons that appear on your desktop usually are: Files...

    Trying it on

    Comments here about trying Linux and sticking with Windows 7. I personally disagree with both of those ideas, probably because I have no sense on age or current ability, but I do agree with the idea of builiding/creating with purpose. I remember I built my first desktop by buying a part each...

    Hive Active Heating on combi boiler

    I appreciate your time! I have arranged replacement to get single channel instead :-) Amazon were quite good. I bought the dual channel for £95 on prime day deal and I simply asked if they'll let me exchange for single channel without paying non-prime day deal (deal is no longer valid). They...

    Hive Active Heating on combi boiler

    There is only one electrical source for the boiler and that is the plug you see in picture. The cable exposing the copper wires in to the terminals is strictly for the boiler (confirmed, I squeezed my fat head in there to look for myself). Thank you so much for making me check! I'm keen to get...

    Hive Active Heating on combi boiler

    Hi I just purchased the heating and hot water Hive Active Heating because they were the same price and read online it shouldn't be much of an issue with a combi boiler and not a conventional boiler. I'm looking for guidance on wiring it up :-) My current boiler is a Logic Combi 30.
