    Help me fit this light fitting

    Really don't see the need for this cable. There is only one height for it, otherwise it'll be hanging by the cable? Obviously I see the need for the cable but can't fathom why this extra length

    Help me fit this light fitting

    Here is a pic of where I am at, at the moment. I don't think it is telescopic, otherwise it would (should) be easier to lower. That rose at the bottom connects to the shaft via the grub screws so that the weight is on the metal and not the cable I guess. The problem is where to put the cable. I...

    Help me fit this light fitting

    Thos grub screws are for connecting the base to the shaft once the cable has been removed (somehow). All of the photos pn the box and all the ones I have seen online show the shaft connected to base without the cable, its crazy. I have tried pulling on it (oooeeer) to see if it is telescopic but...

    I think I may have worked this out for myself, looks like anything close to the boundary has to be 2.5m at eaves height, is that the actual maximum height?

    Very Tired and Leaky Workshop/Shed

    OK defo going to take down and rebuild. Looking at the regs though it looks like I can only go up to 2.5m which isn't the end of the world. I am going to do a flat roof. The current shed sits on a raised concrete slab of around 140mm . I will be extending the shed so part of it will be on the...

    Very Tired and Leaky Workshop/Shed

    Yes its a timber one, frame is 2 x1, maybe slightly bigger. Roof is thin. Walls seem to be sturdy enough but again probably not thick enough. Still not too sure which way to jump here, to gain some space I think the end result will be an L shaped shed with individual rooms contained within ie...

    Very Tired and Leaky Workshop/Shed

    Not too sure what is under the felt, pretty sure it is chipboard though. I can certainly get the cladding off, is it really worth it though? I'll get some pics when I can get out there
