We have a system boiler and a 20 year old Drayton LP112 controller so heat and water on/off times are the same. Have been considering upgrading to a Drayton 722 which would be a straight swop and give us different timings for heating and water but this still requires us to be at home to push...

She is getting a new TV and wants it on the wall. Sky box will be in unit below TV. I intend to add a single socket behind the tv and an outlet for the feed from the stb. To future proof considering burying a piece of 25 or 38 mm square conduit between 2 back boxes so cables can be replaced...

I have to replace some under cabinet flourescents in the kitchen and rather than do a like for like was looking at LED tape, but then it gets complicated. Considering RGBW and dimmable (she wants green but will change her mind and white cabability would be useful). Now I understand that I...
