Am I missing something?? It looks fine to me (The white bike that is!)

I plan to put this years timber treatment stuff on the fence at the weekend. I would like to spray it on using my compressor and paint spray attachment. Do I need to water the stuff down so that it doesn't clog up the paint gun?? (quite a small nozzle hole) If so what would I thin it out...

Would definately recommend building your own shed, here's the story of my build though you have to register and login to see the photos. http://www.readersheds.co.uk/readersheds/shedtalk/index.php?showtopic=6 One thing I would say is to consider getting your timber from a timber merchants...

Yes the cable coming through is twin & earth with the earth connected to the back box, I put new earth from that to the switch. Are there instances when you can't use metal boxes? Ta

Just put a new light switch on for a neighbour, a metal one replacing a plastic one which was the pad type (ie all of the switch is the rocker rather than a little switch in middle.) I put in an earthwire from the switch to the back box and after putting power back on the switch is showing as...

I've got a security light to put up but no wiring instructions. I'm replacing an existing light and have 3 core cable to the point the new one will be. Can anyone explain the two white wires?? the thicker one goes to the PIR and the two narrow ones both go into the light unit. Do i just...

Wouldn't a concrete chainsaw be a bit heavy to lift?? Getting coat :oops:

Well I was getting bored and thinking what I could do with my time. Driving along I spotted a sheet of corregated iron in a skip. Having snaffled it before I knew what to do with it I decided to build a barbecue. Routed a frame around the corregated. Built a couple of little tables either...

I've just got my fortieth birthday prezzie off Mrs Glocko...the five piece DeWalt DC kit, Driver, Jiggy, Trimsaw, Recip saw and light...all 18v. Absolutely over the moon as I only asked her for the 18v drill/driver!! I've never used a reciprocating saw before and in the manual it describes...

Park it up in Birkenhead. Walk round to the shop and buy a paper. On your return the boot will have been opened for you, as well as the doors. As a bonus your wheel nuts will have been loosened and removed along with your radio. :lol:

Sorry Hooly, I was a bit facetious in my last reply (late night etc etc) What I was getting at is your question was a bit vague, also it is extremely difficult to give price comparison because of regional variation etc. Best advice is to get three quotes, testimonials, examples of previous work...

Errr, I paid £2.99 for one of those peg baskets that you hang on the washing line, I had to install it myself, the total cost of materials was £2.99 for the hardware, a can of Cains bitter for my neighbour to hold the upturned planter for me to stand on, a cheap job all in all hope this answers...

I used to be a cabbie and the predictable (yawn) questions were; Have you been out long? Working right through? Is this your own car? and the classic...Are you busy? Remember one day when I was in a pig of a mood, guy gets into the car and before he said anything I said... I'm not...
