Re: Water thief's and irrigation
I have a small garden and an irrigation system, well I suppose you could say I've had three systems, the first two stolen, the thieves removed the little computer thing that controls the timing, it appears they're very saleable, twice they struck, until I had it "securely"connected in a boiler hous...

Water thief's and irrigation
Just been looking on the forum at an old issue of stolen water in the latter part of 2009. We are having our villa built and are close to Joanne who had problems herself. not sure if systems are fitted any differently now, but should we put locks on the water meter taps and if so is it the DIY versi...

Re: Wardrobe doors & internal sections
Pretty sure someone will need to do it for us. We only need the front door. Probably sliding as the brick walls are already installed. I want it to look real wood, light oak as we don't like dark wood. Thanks as the price gives us an idea although I think what we need will be cheaper unless we need ...

Re: Wardrobe doors & internal sections
thanks Sam you are right we do need a lockable cupboard. we have a hall cupboard which we will also need to install a door which I forgot about as it's not in the bedroom. We also have a basement room with a door at the back of our hall which may be another store. until we get the villa looking like...

Re: Wardrobe doors & internal sections
Thankyou. I have had a quick look on the website. not sure about the doors, but very interesting about gates. clearly lots of things on that site so it may be OK for other things.
thanks laserblazer for your comments.

Wardrobe doors & internal sections
In our villa plans our wardrobes are being installed from the usual brick/render shell to 3 sides. these are all away from outside walls. the build does not include installation of the wardrobe doors etc. our architect is a real fan of IKEA. have to be honest went there today and fail to see what is...

Re: Buying furniture home or Algarve
As with anything we can invent issues and find problems. All I said was we shipped a whole house (4 beds) full of quality furniture, linen and accessories via the warrington company. We experienced excellent service, collected fom our door. Whilst a cost is involved, we still saved £s and knew what...

Re: changing UK plug for Portugese
I found that plug sockets are rather flimsy and using the converters does not always make a good connection. So when you have a collection of plugs - ie for a TV+DVD+Sat box, Coffee machine + toaster + blender+grinder+chip pan, or computer system or multiple Hifi system etc. I found it easier to bu...
