Cheers for the reply Ebee. I live in Cumbria as mentioned already. I'm assuming my electrics are up to scratch as it was rewired before by the previous owner, approx 5 years ago. It's definitely on a final ring circuit in the lounge. Good idea about a double pole switch to break the supply...

As above, looked online & there is a multitude of different makes & prices. It has to be waterproof, as live in Cumbria & it rains a lot. Would be used for mainly mower & strimmer use. I Haven't really looked for anything yet, just looking ahead. As far as i am aware i don't need a sparky &...

What's the best preparation for painting these walls. I assume these are pebble dash walls?? I'm not going to paint them myself, the gable end is far too high but would spraying be better than brush & roller? I'm supplying the paint myself, but what questions should i be asking when i get...

For an Ideal LOGIC Combi c30 boiler. Many thanks

B & Q are still doing them cheap too

Excuse my lack of knowledge, but how would you hang a door or doors using just corner braces?

Never thought of that, will have a look at sizes.

I want to make a frame with a pair of doors to fit around the consumer box. I going to box in the pipes at the bottom(ok doing that) & run skirting along the front of it. Struggling to work out how to do the other bit. The alcove is not square 840mm at bottom & 855mm at where i roughly want...

I didn't think it was a roof slate, but can't understand how it ended up in my garden without breaking Cheers for the quick reply

Found this in my garden after strong winds. Is it a roof slate? As far as i can see it doesn't match up with anything on my roof or neighbours. Thought if it had come off a roof it would have shattered?

As per title, the wife wants me to put shelves in an alcove in cupboard. I need to fix a batten to an MDF panel, what is the best way to do it. I was going to use 38mm wood for the battens (have some leftover from previous job) & the MDF is 18mm. The other two sides are brick. The shelves are...

Put these bolts in, so hopefully they might work . Also used some para cord as a guy rope, hopefully this will stop a lot of the movement too.

I think it's roughly that. Would having less than that, make that much difference in temperature in the downstairs hallway?

From what i can see it's got a lot of insulation. I can't get in there, roof too low & i am too big. Double layer of it

Apologies foxhole, read that wrong. That's information i am looking for. Is insulated plasterboard the best way? If not, what is? What are the pros & cons of doing it & what else could i do? Many thanks
