Re: Driveway Feature Lighting?
Hey Pinkie, appreciate the feedback. From what I've seen on various forums, this is sadly the case with brick lights. I'll get the wiring done professionally if I go down this route but totally see your point with these things weathering over time and causing a short on the circuit. Looking to inst...

Re: Driveway Feature Lighting?
Any electric cable that is underground should be in armoured cable (not your normal twin & earth in conduit). However, what you'll get away with depends on whether you'll have the council building inspector's round, or not, and how amenable your sparks is with regard to part P sign off. We had L...

Re: How long?

A new roof will set you back a grand easy fitted. Walk away, you can get a perfectly respectable one for under £700 Ah, god's representative on earth speaks !!

Re: Any carpet fitters on here? Or general advice....
Luxury carpet with kids is a no no :lol: Or pets. Hence why our new place will be solid flooring throughout, with rugs for some softness. So much easier to clean when yaked on, or cats have ripped a small furry mammal to pieces (why do they never eat the head or guts ?), or mopping up spillages.

Re: 620ti standard radiator set up with fans & i/c in frame
Was a bit confused by the picture there, 'til I realised it's propped up upside down !
Looks like a Ti specific rad to me. Is the turbo coolant return pipe on top of rad intact ? This is quite fragile and often breaks.
Any idea when it got the overspray on it ?
