Hi Robbo Download is 5 upload is 0.4 The problem is not with these but the ping which is usually 30 when the boy is playing his games, which will spike to over 200ms for a couple of seconds before dropping when someone else uses a computer which slows his shoot up games. So when he is playing...

Hi and thanks for the reply's. Out in the sticks so fibre a dream. 1/2 mile from road and pole then underground to pole by house, 1 mile from exchange. Boy's computer is wired via an ethernet cable the rest of us are Wi Fi. Will look at some of the suggestions. Does not explain why problem has...

Hi all, Boy in bedroom playing shoot up's, wife on laptop shopping, girl on tablet doing girly stuff and me on laptop on uk workshop of course and all's well until BT engineer repairs fault on line. Now when boy play's his games everyone has to get off as the ping goes up like a rocket and then...

Thanks everyone, best end the thread here as their are plenty of idea's.

Hi bugbear, i come from the era of pen and paper and at 56 i could not be fussed to lean sketch up. This is my first planning application and will probably be my last. Unfortunately i drew i all out on 5 pages of A3 and did not realise the council wanted 4 copies of each, one set for listed...

Thanks sporky i will give it a go. Can you get scale rules with 1:150 and 1:75 as mine does not have these on it ?

Hi. I have drawn out a kitchen extension plan an A3 paper to a scale of 1/50 floor plan and 1/100 for the elevation but want to reduce them onto A4 paper but this will alter the scale. I have checked on a scale rule and nothing will marry up, how can it be done ?

It does not say how big an area he got only that it was part of a 100 acre wood. When i brought my 21 acre's of woodland from the Forestry Commission as we live in the middle of it that cost me £65,000 about 9 years ago.

Thanks chaps i will pass on your advice to the home owner and have a look at how we can improve things.

jimmy, the loft insulation is old and looks like 4 inch. How many vents would you recommend, the footprint of the cottage is 10 x 10 Meters? blackrod, the felt is the old style tared with what looks like a woven string mesh. Upstairs is very hot. Will look into the grants.

Hi all, been doing some some work for a couple who live in an old cottage and asked if i could have a look at the loft as condensation is dripping of the tar backed felt on to items stored underneath. I suggested going for a warm roof and fixing ridged insulation between the rafters. I was going...

Hi H R Axminster power tools keep both the cork and the graphite pads. Thats where i have got mine in the past.

Just an update, Howdens only stock 3M worktops this one was 3.2M so it was back in the van and into Exeter 1/2hr drive to laminates South West who had me sorted for £113. Took me longer to collect the top than to do the cut outs. Next time it will be measure 3 times cut once. Thanks for the reply's.

Yes i did, fitting a kitchen for a customer this week, cut sink opening ok, then cut the hob opening 600mm instead of 560mm, even checked measurements twice. Off to Howdens first thing to buy them another one hope they stock one similar as this one was B&Q and all their stuff takes 4 weeks...

We have a colin around here, the last 3 weeks i have been working for a customer who had an extension done through the summer and in the end the builder he employed walked away leaving it unfinished and the work he had done was a right mess. The first day was spent removing £9 each tiles from...

Hi carl, thanks for that its a 6600 model.

Hi dc, thanks for the reply. I don't know the model as their is nothing on the phone it may of worn off. It has a sliding screen that when slid up exposes the buttons if this helps. From what you are saying this is a problem with old NOKIA phones, so maybe scrap it then !

Hi, the problem i have with my NOKIA phone is that when anyone calls they are so faint i can hardly hear what they are saying. I cannot see any way of turning up the sound for incoming calls. It is an old phone but not yet ready for chucking. Can anyone help ! Thanks.
