Digital TV switchover
Mon, 2 Nov 2009 18:58:27 +0000
Am I being stupid?
We need to find a box to update an old relative to digital TV. Urgently.
I tried an old OnDigital box I had. It worked for about 2 channel
changes, then froze.
Went out and bought new low-end Sagem box. It worked for about 2
minutes, then froze.
Returned it, and got another one.

OT ish - how much should it cost to do gutters and facias?
Mon, 02 Nov 2009 16:33:32 +0000
Hi all,
how much would you expect to be quoted to replace the guttering and
facias on a 3-bed semi with a single-storey garage?
I know some people who have a couple of 'characters' doing this work
and I'm wondering if they're being ripped off and, if so, by how much.
TIA

Fixing a floating mantle-shelf
Mon, 2 Nov 2009 08:27:01 -0800 (PST)
I'm fitting a woodstove in the dining-room, and want to fit a mantle
above the opening.
I've got a chunk of elm (about 60mm by 1540 by 300) and I want to
attach it floating (i.e. bracklet-less).
So far I've used 4 expansion bolts to fasten threaded rod (M10) into
the stone behind the mantle-shelf; these are r ...

Push-fit water waste pipe ?
Mon, 2 Nov 2009 07:42:13 -0800 (PST)
Hi,
The waste water pipe from the bathroom sink passes through the wall
into a 90 degree bend on the external wall. Now as far as I can tell
the bend is a push fit rather than a screw threaded type used on other
waste water pipes at my house. Now this makes the fitting very "slim-
line". However, the bend is ...

Curious hum from light transformer
Mon, 2 Nov 2009 01:02:25 -0800 (PST)
I have an older Ikea quad spotlight system in my workshop for lighting
over the wood turning lathe. It uses a toroidal transfomer. I was
checking out a portable infra red heater which has a 700w/350w switch
- when switched to the lower setting, the transformer in the light
hummed noticeably. Any ideas why ?

Security/locks for steel shipping container?
Sun, 1 Nov 2009 23:52:05 -0800 (PST)
40 foot steel shipping container on a well-managed storage-facility
site, but a significant bit of value going in it.
I've figured out what I *think* I will use for locks.
But (no clues now!) I'd like to hear what you regard as good security
in terms of physical locks on a standard steel shipping container. ...
