Great, thanks all! Looks like I'm going to be busy on Sunday :)

Hello all. I'm trying to replace the gate to my garden. It's only a small one (about 120x100mm). The problem I'm having is that I seem to be unable to unscrew the hinges. No matter how hard I try they just won't budge. Is there any tips that can help? Any solution or method of unscrewing stiff...

True but would that not just turn my house into a rather tastey treat for lightning?! We're already quite high in the street anyway since we live on a hill :shock:

All the aerials either point South East or North West. The North West facing aerials, which my house has, can only receive ch1-4 as it points to the Heathfield mast where as the South East facing aerials point to our local transmitter and can get all the freeview channels etc. Problem is, the...

Cheers for that. I think the signal strength for the area itself is pretty good as we're not to far from the local mast itself but because of all the trees around us, it makes things tricky. It was suggested to me to get Sky but then I don't want to spend a minimum of £15 a month if I could get...

Hello and sorry if this thread is in the wrong place. I need to get a new aerial as currently the one I have is only able to receive 4 channels and even they are a terrible signal. I was given a few options but a couple stood out for me. I can either get a bigger better aerial or a bigger...

mmm, sounds like it could be annoying. Would it make a difference if I bought a condensing dryer instead of a vented one? Don't want to return the vented one and spend more money on a condenser if it just causes similar problems!

I needed a dryer but since my budget for one was limited I went for a vented model. I also bought one of those 'condensing kits' that you plug the vent into to stop the condensation. Needless to say it didn't work at all. So not only have I wasted money but my cupboard is filled with...

Yeah thats the one. I picked it up from Wickes....is it the right one for the job or have I made a newbie error?! :oops:

Great, thanks davy :D

I needed to extend the flex of my 800w panel heater as it was situated a some distance from a plug. The flex that ran from the heater was 0.75mm so I bought some more of this and wired it up using a 3 terminal connector. My concern is that the guide says that the 0.75mm flex is for 6 amps where...
