Indeed it is. HTH, C

An LNB is the receiver element at the focal point of the dish, hence the cable run starts at the LNB, so obviously the LNB can't go in the loft since it is fixed to the dish. And yes, the cable does power (and indeed tune) the LNB but that is done by your set-top box.

Hi Roger, This link may be useful http://www.planning-applications.co.uk/Satelite%20Dish%20Info.htm. Extract:

I see your predicament now! Definitely add larger studs (min 3x2), fixing them to the plinth, eaves plate and existing studs. Although you've got me worried now that the structure of the summer house may not be rigid enough to take such a high load on one wall - it could have the effect of...

I understand now. Provided that the studs of the existing framework are restrained at both ends and the shelving risers (metal strip with the array of holes) are fixed to the shallowest face of the studs then the moment induced by the loaded shelves will be easily resisted. If they aren't...

I'd love to see a photo of the finished article since I fancy doing something similar....

Hi wizer, I might be being stupid but I can't visualise what you are working with. Are you using the frame of the summer house itself to support a rail and bracket shelf system or are you talking about strengthening a stand-alone shelf unit that just happens to live in the summer house? Cheers, C

Seriously people, lighten up! And yes, the wink was meant to indicate sarcasm - I was simply conveying how both BSM and wizer get involved in almost all threads as committed members of the forum. Relax, Chris

Well, what a coincidence! I've never seen any of Scrum's posts before and completely independently found the same badger image. Anyway, we can always depend on wizer and BSM to try to twist an innocent question into an act of war.... :wink: [/url]

Dear Chris, May I ask why you have copied my avatar picture? Cheers, Chris P.S. I don't mind in the least, just curious...

Hi Roger, What a transformation! It is inspiring to see that with fairly modest expenditure coupled with some hard work, you can turn a once wasted space into one that you are likely to use continuously. Well done - looks great! Also, did you line the planters with polythene to prevent soil...

Hi Dave-R, It is actually a logo from Badger Hardwood (a timber supplier in the USA). I use it as a subtle teaser to one of our major contributors (Digit / Roy) following our rather emotional debate about badgers - see https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=32761&highlight=badger...

Technically we live in a 'temperate' climate which results in a large delta between the lowest and highest temperatures across the seasons, albeit we don't experience the highest temperatures for very long. C

RogerS, There has been a wonderous development outside the world of 'lowest common denominator' based broadcasting - please see at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/. Enjoy, Chris

Could the formica work surface have had a detergent or multi-surface cleaner on it recently which then reacted with the wet oak?

When are you going to attach the brush for srubbing the toilet? You spinny people brighten my day...

Hi Eddie, Looks great so far. However, if you twisted your ankle in that rubble you could be off work for a month! Grumble over - I'm currently stuck inside with a trapped nerve in my shoulder which has made me grumpy. Good luck with getting it finished. Cheers, C

I find it easier to remove the bulk with plunge cuts from a circular saw, then use the router with bearing guided bit and pattern to tidy up. With thick hardwood worktops (>40mm), I often find that a jigsaw blade tends to warp, no matter how slowly you go which leaves a horrid angled cut.
