    direct fixing tool Hilti or Spit

    I've never had any problems with the spit penetrating concrete. The only issue i find is choosing the correct nails for the job. It means i have to keep a stock of orange and black nails (Differant Strengths,) in various sizes and every job requires a little bit of trial and error. I don't know...

    Work Polo Shirts

    Yes, everything on my shirts is embroiderd. I tried normal printed shirts before and the printing came off in the tumble dryer. For me, embroidery is the only way to go.

    2396- Is it worth doing?

    Thanks guys for the advice, i think i'll look into it a wee bit more. I'd prefer a 1 evening per week type course so i might just phone all the local colleges. If not i might have to go to england. Just out of interest, anyone who has done the 2396, how does it compare to the 2391-10 in terms...

    2396- Is it worth doing?

    That's what i was afraid of, i don't really want to have to travel to England to do it. I could just about squeeze some in some time in the evenings but i'd never be able to do a week away, just too busy. I assume it was an intensive type course you did?

    2396- Is it worth doing?

    I really like the idea of doing it this way rather than a 5 or 6 day intensive course. Does anyone know of anywhere in N.I. that offers it. If not, does anyone who has done the intensive course have any opinions on that route? I do have a good grasp of equipment, being self-employed you have...

    2396- Is it worth doing?

Its been a couple of years now since i've done any courses and i'm starting to feel the itch again. Am i right to assume the 2396 is the logical...

    Concealing TV cables in wall

    What about using CAT5E/CAT6 cables and using HDMI converters? I use them for all my new houses.Fit a patch panel and have CAT5E to all Television points, Local source points and Data/Phone points. Any point can then be patched as a Data point, phone point, HDMI point etc. They will easily fit up...

    Sky plus to nine positions.

    you need a quattro LNB at the dish, 4 coax back to a central point. If you want to allow for sky plus at all points you need two satellite points at each position so you would need a satellite multiswitch with at least 18 outputs. Wire back 2 cables from each point to the multiswitch position...
