    laying reclaimed parquet

    I have laid 5 rows and true to woodyoulike's advice the line run off, worryingly so. If you imagine a slight arc this is how the line runs but the blocks are tight to each other. my concern is now that; on the inside of the arc laying blocks appears to follow the path. On the outside there...

    Gas4you I didn't know it was a 2 year warranty, although i am not sure where I stand as it was a DIY job installed by my good self. I need to drain the system down at the weekend and fit a rad. I intended to check the sensor and the pump so your advice is again very good. Is the sensor...

    unable to buy parts without a corgi ticket horaaayyyyyy

    OK, I cannot answer some of your questions so your challenge for the time being will have to stand. But, your stalwart defense of CORGI and the ACS system is equally uncorroborated. ACS and with it the CORGi brand is confusing to customers who believe they receive protection from those who...

    unable to buy parts without a corgi ticket horaaayyyyyy
