I emailed yesterday and no reply yet. I know it's not been that long but what concerns me is if there is an issue with the monitor. It's about £700. Can anyone reassure that the warranty/service and support is good? I know it's thought of as reputable but my concern here is the number of people...

I was looking earlier actually - was also recommended to buy HSS drill bits like these: https://www.screwfix.com/p/erbauer-straight-shank-hss-drill-bits-13-piece-set/9419v Do you think the ones you suggested - the Bosch ones would be better/suitable too? Or should I stick with the HSS ones...

Bit depressed about this tbh. I'm sick of not being able to do the simplest thing in DIY. I'm 36, I have a lot of tools, all the resources but just can't even hang a blind up.

I'm an idiot - I've been away for a week working and visiting family. I came back and tried again using the original masonary drill bit as the dust that was falling was brown - rather than metallic, so I think it may be concrete? Anyway, the drill bit snapped and the drill hit the wall and...

I had these in my last place and they are bloody brilliant. I can't get them where I am now as the window is too big - so having to spend nearly £1k on shutters! It's worth it as we are staying here for years and I'm quite sensitive to light.

I have a blind - made to measure, that needs to be fitted INSIDE the window recess. It is a venetian vertical blind. I can't use a wood batton as it will mean the blind doesn't fit. I can't really fit outside the window recess for the same reasons. I tried drilling this the other day, got 1cm...

IGNORE - PLEASE DELETE Issue solved

That sounds good. There is an aerial cable in the living room where the TV should be hung, but it's obviously not connected to anything. In the kitchen is a TV aerial socket too. How easy would you say it would be for a pro to fit a TV Aerial and have the table in the living room and the...

My only doubt or worry with 4G is the reliability. If I did stick a big antenna up then is there any risk that one minute I will be getting 60mbps then the next 2mbps? I genuinely don't know the answer to this. I know broadband is a bit up and down too, but wasn't sure about 4G? Just...

I've just moved into a new house. There is no working/connected TV aerial. There is a Sky dish which is wired to living room but it doesn't work. The old owners used BT TV and Broadband - many people around here do this as there is no FTTP. Most say it's OK. The options I am consider now...

I've just moved into a new house. It's in a village but not completely rural. Broadband is a bit hit and miss, no fibre to the house. 4G Speeds: Outside the house stood with phone pointing up towards mast - 70mbps Inside varies between 5-40mbps The house house steel beams and some thick...

Thanks Kenai - that is a good suggestion. There is an extension and that was done in 2006 (well before the current owners purchased). So it may have been entirely renovated then. I'll ask estate agent to go to the vendor

I'm unsure of who the occupants are... The semi-detached house adjoining us is split into two flats, one on the bottom and on on the flat. This is in a village. The top floor I know has a middle-aged couple, one of whom works in IT I think or at least with computers. I'm not sure of the person...

I have bought the house in that, I have sold mine and had an offer agreed on this new one. It is going through the solicitors. Therefore the survey is just a part of the general process and we only got it on Monday of this week.

:D I am that much of a worrier that I actually started getting concerned then!

That's a good way of looking at it, and probably true. It's a nice village area so should be OK hopefully!

Ah, that makes sense. Fantastic username for this threat too :-) Would you say that is any cause for concern? I only wondered as it's on the party wall. The house is very well decorated and even the living room has a big hole in the wall where the TV sits inside. So I think maybe the current...

Thanks for your opinion. The vast majority of my posts have been made in the last 6 months. I left th IT world for a while and only now am I getting back into it.
