I live in a terrace house and at the back of the house I have a single story extension. As you step out into the garden I have a 5.5m x 3.5m decking area which covers the width of the property. With our poor weather I would like to build a shelter over the decking. I was thinking timber frame...

I'm looking at relocating my TV in the living room. At present it's on a partition wall that backs onto the kitchen. Previously we had Sky and had a Coax cable running through that wall onto a magic eye to the TV on the other side. I will be moving the TV and the other components to another...

Use dowel rods. i.e. small 2cm holes in underside of the handrail (not all the way through to the top). Then holes in the center of the spindles at the correct debt (depending on the legth of the dowel rods you are using). Held in with good weatherproof wood glue. This way you don't see...

Problem fixed. Powered off. I headed up into the loft with a torch (loft light not working either). Worked out that that the ring went as follows: Hallway, bedroom 1, bedroom 2, bedroom 3, bathroom, loft. The lighting in my house is a mess. I found the following: Hall light wires go...

minature circuit breaker. A little knowledge goes a long way :). Looking to see if I can fine a replacement one locally.

Thanks guys. The light is on the 1st fllor which means the lighting wires runs through the loft so easy to replace the cables if required. I'll get an MCB (I assuem that's Master Control Breaker, right ?). Next question is, how do take the old one out and put a new one in?.

It's a single MCB that won't reset.

I managed to trip a fuse in my consumer due to old brittle insulation breaking and earthing out after fitting a new light. I have this unit But the issue I have is the tripped switch does not turn back on, even if you turn the entire consumer unit power off. Do I need to get someone in...

Me personally, just a mess. I've never been any good at the arty stuff !

Thanks mate. That's the exact same hinge as I have, however the top ones are already all the way in and the bottom ones are all the way out.

Guys, I have a front door which has dropped after excessive use (building work out the back with no side access). I have checked the hinges to see if there is any way of adjusting them but can not find any hex slots to make the adjustments. The door is a solid type door with hardlyt any...
