Well the plumber had a baby last night! :) So he didn't make it this morning but sent his deputy instead - he was helpful but I don't think has had as much experience so couldn't really advise me. They've got plenty of other stuff to be getting on with though so they've given me an extension...

Thanks Dan - I may have over-reacted to Tony's comments, I was a bit shocked. Web based calculators said I'd need somewhere between 10,000 and 13,000 BTUs. If 1w = 3.4BTUs and the floor area without the kitchen units is around 30m2 - using the 70w/m2 figure it'll only output 7140 BTUs. So...

I'm stunned that you would make this comment - what exactly does insulting me achieve? I fail to see what relevance 'logic' has here - the recognised idiom is 'more money than sense', generally meaning someone is profligate. If anything, the opposite is true with me - I've overly careful with...

Thanks guys - good to have your opinions :) Sorry Dan, that really wasn't very clear about the Nest bit - I meant with Nest combined with radiators. To be honest, it's hard to express what I meant, I think what I was trying to say was - the advantages of the Nest thermostat is that it can...

The short story: I've recently realised that my open plan kitchen + living extension floor is suitable for underfloor heating. I was previously happy enough with the idea of 2 radiators + a plinth heater but given how much people rave about underfloor heating I'm thinking I would be foolish...

The guy in the more upmarket bathroom showroom said just a straight 760x760 square shower (no part glass side panel). He didn't come across as a particularly creative thinker though. I've sent it to my architectural technician anyway and I'll see what he reckons. Thanks for your help...

Right, I went to a proper bathroom showroom today with proper bathroom design consultants and everything (not just a spotty kid like in B&Q). They still didn't have many different sized showers for me to stand in but I did have a long chat with one of the guys. He confirmed that pretty much...

[/url] haha - brilliant. I'd give it a week before I dropped my toothbrush in the loo.

Thanks big-all, nice idea but I not sure I'll be able to do that. This is the front of the house - that's a cast iron soil pipe (so I'd have to replace the whole thing) and I'm in a conservation area. You can see the sink waste pipe there too. It matches the other semi so I'm not...
