Eddy Gordo Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 Anyone know where I can purchase replacement friction stay window hingesSpecs are top hung, 300mm length, 17mm width (channel width = 18mm), stack height 13mm, 90 deg opening. https://www.premiumaluminium.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/top-hung-friction-stay.png there is a place up in gauteng that sells it, quite cheap, but the shipping is almost triple the price of the hinge pair alone! overall, not expensive tbh, but it's pretty meh, So looking for cape town suppliers.Have you tried Baltic Timbers?
Capricorn Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 Have you tried Baltic Timbers?i haven't! Their website doesn't hint at window hardware, but i'll check with them next week. Thanks!
greys Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) useful thread, I'm also planning to start home renovation, want to install new hvac system in the house. I found local HVAC specialists to choose and install the best heat pump system for my house. Also I found many heat pumps models on https://www.thefurnaceoutlet.com/ at affordable prices.

travisza Posted July 24, 2021 Posted July 24, 2021 Anyone have any experience / knowledge with Texecom home alarm systems? I want to wire an LED into the system so that I can see when the passive sensors outside are armed. There is already an LED that does this visible from the driveway so you can arm\disarm when you leave or come back. But I want another in the house so I can tell when we have armed the sensors that cover the garden. Thought it would be relatively simple as all I have to do is replicate the LED already wired in but looking at the panel its beyond me. I have tried google/youtube without much success

I want to add a LED to my system(Different to yours-DSC) that I can see from my driveway because when I arm/disarm mine I can't really hear the flipping siren in my roof. Everyone in the car needs to keep very quite but then even the birds prevent me from hearing it sometimes and if it's raining well then I just push the button and hope it is on or off. BUT I don't want the light visible all the time. Ideally it needs to stay on for like 5s after arm or disarm. I am not sure if this is possible and if it is I am not sure I will be able to program it.

All I did was find the wiring that connected the LED I currently have, and then split that cable wiring the new LED into it too. Ours is permanently on or off so no idea how you'd go about introducing a timer into the equation. Long Wheel Base 1

Thing I don't like about permanent on or off is, if these okes know you have an alarm they can easily see if its off.

Carmichael Posted April 11, 2022 Posted April 11, 2022 At last after a few months of really k*k living with floors chopped out, holes in walls for doors and house unlockable at night we are 99% done , doing last bit of painting outside, the transformation lets me forget about all the pain we went through... mecheng89 1
mecheng89 Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 To all the painting fundies out there - to dry indoor paint faster. Heat the room up, or blow a fan on the wall(s)?

Heat the room up, or blow a fan on the wall(s)? You need to keep moisture away from the paint, so a gas heater creates dry air which is better than a fan blowing cold air. mecheng89 1
