He's definitely bent you right over....

I have alwas manage to fit the contact to the fixed frame but on occasions it's been neccasary to take the magnet out of it's housing and bed it in silicon in the groove at the top of the door.

Hi chaps. One of my customers had a new bathroom fitted which included an inline extractor which is vented to the outside. The customer is complaining that thre is water leaking from it when used. I have had a look at it and I suspect that watewr is gathering in the dip in the flexible duct...

Hi chaps. I need to replace the roof on a small garden shed which is approximately 4 metres x 4 metres. At the moment the roof is just tongue and grooved board covered in roofing felt which is nailed down. The boards are rotten so my plan is to strip the olf roof, re-board with OSB then use...

Thanks for all the replies! I didn’t realise there were different levels of obscurity with glass and I didn’t even think of applying a film. That sounds like a great option! Thanks again!

Hi Chaps Is it possible to retrofit sealed units with integral blinds into existing upvc frames? I Have a large bathroom window and although it's obscure glass it is actually quite transparent! If they are available can you suggest a source? Many thanks!

Thanks for the reply, it’s greatly appreciated! Yes the red light did cycle on and off, I could tell the oven temperature was dropping because I could see I had to turn the know lower and lower to get the red light to come on over a period of time. I didn’t realise they had an overheat stat...

We actually discovered it when the customer asked us to tighten a loose basin hot tap. I isolated the cold into the boiler which should have isolated the hot taps but when my lad loosened the tap connector it was still running! We check all the other hot taps in the property and they were all...

Hi chaps. Just did a boiler change from vented to combi. The customer did have a shower which was running through a salamander pump. The pump has now been removed as it’s redundant but water is mixing in the shower valve and it’s affecting hot water performance dramatically at all hot...

Thanks that is actually very interesting, I have done a little of bit of work with Arduino in the past and in the longer term this would be a great solution. Meantime I found this...

Thanks that’s great, the problem is how do I get the input of whatever device I use onto my mobile so I can monitor the status?

Hi chaps Is there such a thing as a wifi input status monitor? I'd like a device that will connect to my wifi network and allow me to see the status of various inputs so I can remotley monitor if my garage door is accidentally left open for example via a mobile app. There are inexpensive wifi...

I have copied the OP into the Combustion Chamber forum now, sorry for any misunderstanding.

Im really sorry and I totally agree with you, I accidentally posted in the wrong forum. (Small phone, crap eyesight). When I get home and on a pc I’ll delete the post and copy it to combustion chamber. Thanks for pointing out the mistake!!
