  • Extra socket vs wiring in wall lights

    I bought a pair of plug in wall lights for the bedroom, which I like the look of, but they use up our bedside sockets. Which would you recommend we do, add in a new socket or wire in lights? Which is easier and less messy?

    How can I keep moss off my roof?

    There's a lot of trees near my house (not on my property) and I think it's because of this I get lots of moss on my tiles. I've had it removed once but obviously it's become mossy again. Is there anything I can do to keep the moss off? My tiles are Welsh slate.
