The heating is not on. The initial cold in pipe has been drawn off. Only drawing hot water from tap or shower. Thanks for responding, Chaotic

Whilst drawing off hot water the supply suddenly goes cold.After a few moments hot water flows. This can be a nasty experience when having a shower. Have checked that no other outlet is running at same time. Any ideas, please. Chaotic

Is it a two man job to fit plaster coving and what adhesive does one use? How about styrene paper covered coving is that as effective as the plaster coving. Look forward to any advice, please. Chaotic.

Our Cat recently died and now the rats are spreading into the garden.No doubt they were there already but Max kept them at bay. For various reasons we are not taking on another cat and so we wondered if electronic noise generators are effective in dispersing vermin. Not keen on the use of rat...

Hallo softus, Neither do I. Ta,Ta.

Thanks Softus District Columbia. To answer your questions as to my sanity. I pick up a news paper and look at the headings on the pages, one does not need to read the article, to make one feel sick at what society has fallen to. It is well known that civilizations climb to decadence and then...

softus, you bet all those professional bodies will keep their backsides fireproofed.So the vendor will be in the hot seat. I was brought up to believe that "us commoners "should never question a professional, how wrong that is. My credo is now, if its a professional telling the truth don't...
