I have a similar problem, go to the end you can safely and securly position your ladder, get some drain rods and gaffa tape the nozzle end and hose to an entire lenght of rod. Place in guttering feed and screw in more rods and hose as required.

You mentioned you live in a bugalow and its anchored to a chimney pot, one of the reasons might possibly be overhead clearance over your or neighbours gardens or indeed the road if it is a road crossing. Think about the structural stability of your chimney and then try to reproduce that with a...

Thanks newboy yes that was the one I was looking at .

A fiend of mine has had a new bathroom suite fitted and the toilet has a button flush on top of the cistern. The trouble is he has very bad arthritis in both hands (retired plasterer) and has to use a sawn off bit of broomstail to operate this and cannot operate the quick flush saving water. I...

Having had a similar problem on a different type of boiler it turned out to be the low pressure on the boiler expansion vessel, it was pumped up to one bar and all running as sweet as a nut.

It is indeed an old fashioned lightning arrestor, back in the days of the GPO there would have been 2 open (or bare copper wires no insulation ) strung between the telegraph pole and your house to a double u bracket fixed to the facia or brickwork. The black wire was crimped to the copper wire...

If you really want to go down the trowel route google artists pallete knives there are various small trowels and they are very flexible, I use a selection when I'm decorating for filling etc.

Another way but not always reliable is to look inside the lid usually if it is a main DP the exchange lines will be maked up with their number 6 digits or possibly 5 if an older installation, if it is a internal dp used for a pabx it may contain a mixture of Extensions off the pabx 2 ,3 ,or...

I got one of these does the job well http://www.screwfix.com/p/erbauer-erb561srg-700w-hvlp-electric-spray-gun-220-240v/11628 I would steer clear of the small electric hand held jobs all the ones I tried arn't very powerfull and clog easily.

We have had them painted on the roads too, along side some cameras on top of the lights presumably to cath people jumping the lights or speeding through them, or indeed to apportion blame in the event of a shunt.

I am having the front of my house cladded, and with a view to having an alarm fitted and maybe cctv wondered if the external sounder or camera needed a 240 v mains supply provided as well as 8 wire alarm cable. Obviously would like to prewire these before cladding. Thanks.

Over the winter where the gritter turned round it managed to spray a patch on my front lawn with its rocksalt etc.This in now dead grass as I dont think lawns like salt, my question is do I dig it out if so how far down and fill with new topsoil and re seed, or is there something I can mix with...

It has always struck me as odd that apart from a few radical muslims (mostly male) who tend to rush off to meet their virgins after blowing themselves and others up, pretty few human beings are in a hurry to meet their god as soon as possible.

You can still get the uk ones if the company is not tied to the tps, but my preffered approach is I will not enter into any telephone conversation with them until they get on their knees and recite the lords prayer with me to prove their belief in the one true god and that it is a sin to bother...

Just some stats Loathsome as the white extreme Right is, however, there is clearly no comparison. No one in Britain has been killed by the EDL; 53 people have been killed by Islamist terrorists. White racists, unlike their Islamist equivalents, do not control key religious institutions or have...
