Hi guys, thanks alot for the help. I was speaking with an audio visual sales person who said that I'd probably have to make one of these combiners for each input if I wanted to control them remotely. I figured out a way I could run another cable in the end, so I can go with one of those single...

Hi guys, in the process of renovating my place I fed a speaker cable into the joist space above the bathroom down to the area under the stairs that will house amps/ sky box/ bluray etc.. I'm finally getting round to having the upstairs carpeted so I have to fix speaker now. I didnt want...

hehe no Im not using flush mounted spotlights. they were my original choice but after much reading i came to the conclusion that they are simply not feasable in a single storey extension unless you have the ceiling height for a large void underneath the joist or want to freeze in winter -...

hi again deluks - thankyou. the ceiling is already quite low because there was a window installed between the extension ceiling and existing house ceiling. I was not aware that i MUST place insulation below the joists. is there a way out for those with low ceilings? celotex is very expensive...

Hi there, I have a cold roof in my new flat roof extension. I have a load of 100mm celotex and the joists they are fitted between are 150mm deep. What I have done is cut a slice of celotex to a thickness of 50mm, put that in first and then put a full thickness piece underneath it. Its messy work...

many thanks deluks, I finished the landing today. i took more concrete out to give me about 80mm of screed over plastic with a bedding of soft sand beneath the plastic. Luckily it was another layer that came away quite easily. underneath it was a truly old mix of charcoal and broken bits of...

First off hello everyone and thankyou for this informative forum which has been a great help as I renovate my house. I needed to lower the floor of landing and bathroom so i removed the existing screed which was about 50mm thick from a concrete subbase - came away rather easily. There was...

Hello, welcome to my new project :) The builders did a shell build and made a new wider openning and I am left with an uneven brick edge arrowed on the left of the picture. There is also a step to be made at the bottom of the photograph which is made from the rear brick wall of the house...

wow. I would definately argue the oposite. They are beautiful and cozy a hugely more efficient than a fireplace so you can really roast on cold days like were having now. timdunn, did you find anything more on protecting a stud wall? I read thaty regs state stove should be at least 500mm...

no wonder you are really happy with it, excellent job man! really like the tongue and groove. thanks for the pictures i can see how it was put together.

thankyou so much. It has definately been worth the 15+ hours i put into it. Im sure i could do it alot faster second time round. They can definately take alot of weight, more than mine even. Im just gonna put clothes on them mainly though! I primed them first and then put on dulux...

what do you think?... took me about a day and a half. I'm pleased with the results. AS you can see my room has suffered for it. Dont worry i dont sleep in it and the carpet is going! I was wondering, do i have to put a primer on first before painting with white...
