A "mate" of mine rents his old flat to two 21 year old blonde Swedish girls who bat for the other side. For THEIR safety he's installed IP cameras in smoke alarms, clocks and fake PIRs. Is "he" breaking the law? Seriously: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/11622935/Should-you-install-CCTV-outside-your-home.html

OK then specifically eBay item 291361247328 to this spec: I already had a suitable psu. Set it up how you like with the remote, pull the plug and plug back in and same settings come straight on.

At expansion gaps I've always resin fixed rebar into one slab and Denzo taped the other half of the bar where it goes into the adjacent slab. Allows expansion but limits the joint going out of level.

I've got one of these, as well as a 4mm pass / 23mm rebating planer, BFOff router, and god knows what else that will try and take me out if I ever turn my back on it. When I use that chop saw, it's with the same concentration and respect every time. That would remove an entire hand without you even feeling it. I also use it to cut aluminium and brass tile edge trims, for the laser precise cuts, and it gets the heart pumping I can tell you. The one tool i strongly distrust / dislike / whatever is the 18v circular saw. Powerful enough to do all I ask of it, but underpowered enough to catch and bite. This lifts the saw up and out, backwards, straight towards you. My golden rule with the circular saws is never to be behind it, but always to be beside it and out of its path, should it decide to 'do one'. I put my 230v circular down a while back whilst the blade was still at near full wallop. Only problem was I hadn't used it for a while and the first cut saw the blade guard wedge at top dead centre leaving the full blade exposed. When that hit the concrete floor I nearly shat a brick. Must have travelled at least a metre in about a half second, but with my lobster like grip only tightening as my stupid brain refused to let it go . Watch yourselves people, as power tools don't take hostages.

Im sure any Judge would want to take a long hard look at the "evidence" before he made a decision

BTW, one of my cameras deliberately aims at the public highway, I have to park my van outside my house on the road at present.

Nope - not illegal in the slightest. You can film anything and anyone on a public highway as it is public domain information.

Its fine, do they show private property? If a person 'thinks' they are invading their privacy they can make you remove them, It doesn't even have to actually show their property, the onus is on the fact a person feels their privacy is being invaded, And, it is completely illegal to actually view inside AN Others buildings.

Well I think you have more than answered my question, so thanks to you all. As Terry said we shall be getting the installation done by a registered installer, it's just not worth the worry doing it ourselves. The reason we are having the gas hob is not just as a backup as I aim to use it regularly. We have natural gas here but as the new build is pretty well up to passive standard we are just having electricity. The LPG is a hell of a lot cheaper than getting a gas connection. We have an induction hob and I've heard great things about them so hope I won't be disappointed.

No ... the K value is the thermal conductivity of the material in question usually stated for a given thickness, the U value is the calculated thermal conductivity for that thickness in the design. So a Novoferm door at 45mm thick is around the same as the Garador when you calculate it out.

The way my roof was constructed to leave it open at the front meant I had a triple truss in the way of the extract vent above the cooker so I had to put in a false ceiling to give me enough room to get the duct under the truss and out. It is just an 8*4 sheet of 18mm MDF with a frame made up of studding. The frame is screwed twice to each truss that it crosses so there are alot of fixings holding it up. The spark left a plug socket to which I have the power supply for the strip lights plugged into so when I turn the downlights on the strips turn on. This is the only pic I have in my phone.

Good Sense of Humour, ( so we can laugh at such injuries )
