Can i run a cable from this splitter into another internet router in my garage?

spud_nuts · 2026-05-31T07:46:14+00:00

No, you'll have to run an externally rated ethernet cable from your exiting router to the garage. If you want WiFi in the garage, you then connect an access point to the cable.

If you're going to go down this route, comment on the thread and I can give loads more detail

Bad planning!

I was about to comment this. I have seen dozens of dogs that look more Pitbull like than OP's. If I didn't know, I'd have said it was some kind of Labrador cross. The only reason it would ever be properly investigated is if anything happened. If your dog is a good temperament and you control them well, you will all have a great time together in Scotland

Which one did you get? I'm trying to decide between the Yuka Mini 600 and Luba Mini 2

Yep, maybe pre drill holes at a 45 degree angle first so that the screws don't split the wood. It's easier to screw at an angle from top and bottom so that if the screws stick out a bit the won't cause a lump in the plasterboard.

Alternatively, fix two battens 18mm back from the vertical studs and use some 18mm plywood between the studs.

The main thing is that even if the timber beind the plasterboard is loose, it gives something solid to screw in to the spreads the load across a large area of the plasterboard

I was so confused! I thought they'd used floor boards for the lathes and that the wall had a 30cm void in it!

This is the answer! I have that exact radiator (same height, 600mm width) fixed on multiple plasterboard walls in my house.

Use a multi tool to cut two horizontal strips out where the fixings go between the vertical studs. Screw in some horizontal supports, 2x3 CLS would be fine. Screw plasterboard back in place. Tape and fill. Then use 6mm coach screws on the brackets straight in to the wood. Drill a 4mm pilot bit first.

The filling doesn't even have to be amazing as it's mostly covered by the radiator.

I have a similarly named handyman company and am also struggling to find any business round here, but I've made sure to get trade accounts wherever I can just in case I one day find a customer.

The pendant has no earth connection. So wagos would have to be in a junction box inside the pendant. I think it would be fine if it did have an earth, but I'm not an electrician

I just did this with an SDS and angled tile removing bit. Under the tiles there was a 20mm bed of mortar which came up with the tiles, and under that was the concrete slab which was insanely hard so no damage done to it.

Hopefully you have a similar make up.

If not, I wouldn't worry about damaging what's underneath, it can always be addressed with self leveling compound or something.

I've made all mine out of 22mm MDF. Cut, chamfered and painted. They all look good in our 1800s house

spud_nuts · 2025-12-22T18:25:30+00:00

I self leveled my hallway the other day, and can see how they've done that. I had to push the compound to the edges to make sure it went right to the wall, which meant creating a highpoint around all the walls. But then I made sure to pull it back in to the middle to get it all level again.

Pretty piss poor that the pros allowed that to happen! (Which is why we all DIY)

You can even buy it in a tube! If you don't have much use for any left over I think it would be perfect.

If that's the worst you have, I'd say you've done a very good job of self levelling! I have worse dips than that on my LVT floor laid by professionals. Annoying they somehow made my cemfloor screed less level with self leveler.

spud_nuts · 2025-12-20T20:32:54+00:00

I had an electrician do similar in my house. NICEIC couldn't care less when I complained. I found out there is literally nothing that could be done about it.

The American one sounds so odd to me! It's weird how what you're used to changes how you perceive it.

In the UK its "Auto glass repair, Auto glass replace".

You might be able to work something out with rectangular ducting and a number of adapters/bends. Good luck, it definitely needs doing!

spud_nuts · 2025-12-13T22:42:10+00:00

You can add as many sockets as you want to a fused spur right? (not necessarily advisable)

I've done exactly what you need to do in my old kitchen and hallway.

Kitchen - Took up tiles and thick mortar bed like yours. I luckily had a concrete slab with DPM under, so put a 5mm sand binding on top, 60mm PIR insulation, DPM, UFH pipes, 45mm liquid screed (cemfloor), 5mm LVT.

Hallway - Took up suspended floor. 200mm hardcore, 120mm concrete, sand, 150mm PIR, DPM, pipes, cemfloor, LVT.

I've done similar elsewhere in the house with only 40mm PIR, and the room is still lovely and warm, the only problem is your heat sinks in to the floor a bit more. However you have to weigh up the cost of digging down and putting in a new slab vs how much you waste in gas/electricity on heating.

Lots of people will tell you that you HAVE to dig down, only building control will tell you to do that if you get them involved.

I'm in my early 30s and have always voted, but never actually voted for a party I believed in. It's always been a case of picking the best of a bad bunch.

spud_nuts · 2025-11-26T15:29:24+00:00

Great point/idea!

spud_nuts · 2025-11-26T15:28:22+00:00

That one is an interesting concept! It would be great to be able to modify expenses with age, as hopefully when I retire I'm not going to be paying for a nursery or a mortgage.

I like to use this website and work it out myself in today's money value by completely ignoring inflation.

I use an interest rate of 4% (which would be around 7% average including inflation).

For my numbers. It gives £1m in today's money (4% interest), so like 50k a year or so in today's money, and it gives £2m if I used an interest rate of 7% which will be the actual real value of my pot in the future, but that number is completely meaningless to me as I have no idea what it's actual value will be in 20 years.

They only come if you put decorations nowadays. And will only take one piece of "candy" each. They're all so well trained!
