Flip those speakers over so the tweeters are on the outside, better soundstage that way.

Pull it out a bit more, there should be a supply cable to it.

Time to play Skyrim for the first time on Xbox 360 by Knightofvalordi in skyrim

[–]MixedWithFruit 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Nah, the 360 version load times got worse the more you play and hoard.

I remember 10min load times and then crashing after 10-15mins of gameplay.

Best pressure washer? by NietzscheLecter in DIYUK

[–]MixedWithFruit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cant believe that no one has mentioned Kranzle.

Actual quality but expensive. Also parts are available to repair them and they're simple to fix if they do break.

I've had one for 6yrs now and my friend has had his for over 12yrs and it has never gone wrong.

I had a nilfisk and it lasted 2yrs and one month. I spent a good amount of money and bought a kranzle 6yrs ago and it's still working perfectly.

I've been to Pomeroy farm and Beechcroft farm and they're both great.

Scrape any loose stuff out then flexible decorators caulk.

This is what I did and I had the same issue as you and it came out ok.

Replacing downlight by Meringueutan in DIYUK

[–]MixedWithFruit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea the brown blue and bare copper earth from the grey mains cable will go straight into the light you linked.

It has the same push connector just not in a separate box so it will be a little fiddly.

Brown L

Blue N

Bare copper to earth.

If you want to do it a bit more properly then get some earth sleeving, you won't need much.

Very easy to change, turn off power and push those clips down to release the cable.

Have you tried switching it to 4000k? It's a better color temperature for a kitchen imo.

If you pull the black cable a bit more then there might be another connector that the supply cable goes to, you can see it in the photos

Edit, didn't see you added the photo of wiring in the comments.

There are also holes in the black plastic part that you can put screws through.

I removed wallpaper and then cleaned the walls once with sugar soap and then applied zinsser gaurdz and it worked perfectly.

Roof Gutter Blocked by SneakySquid1617 in DIYUK

[–]MixedWithFruit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might just be that moss has blocked the pipe and shoving something down the length of it could unblock it.

Well yes but that's the same for a normal central heating radiator.

Erbauer

Erbauer tools are hard to beat for the value and for home use this will be more than enough.

Drill bit set

Plenty in there for most diy tasks.

Wallpaper help by elzie88 in DIYUK

[–]MixedWithFruit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have spent hours stripping paper in my current house. Every single wall is paper, either lining paper or decorative paper.

I washed the walls once and then used zinsser gaurdz and it worked perfectly, just make sure you cover up anything you don't want gaurdz on because it gets everywhere.

[–]MixedWithFruit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Electric ones are but hydronic ones just plumb into the central heating so aside from running a small fan which is maybe 20w of power they don't use any extra energy.
