    My boiler and its hot water problems

    Hi, thanks for the reply, the feroli man checked the flow valve, and said its ok - do you think its an installation or ferroli issue, this is driving me nuts. The ferroli engineer did suggest a non return valve on the cold inlet also, but i just think that there are some other issues as...

    My boiler and its hot water problems

    Hi, i have a 6 month old ferroli f30b. The problem is that its basically pot luck to get hot water from the boiler: the symptoms are as follows which again dont happen all the time and neither do they occur together: 1) the boiler will look as if its going to fire up for hot water even though...

    Fitting a laminate worksurface to a belfast sink

    Why not use timber around the sink only and then laminate on the rest of the kitchen, or fit it in a kind of stand alone style. But the others were right dont waste your time on this. Andy

    Connector bolts

    use normal screws behind the hinge plates and behind the edge of the shelves, that way you dont see any screws, looks neater than those connectors but only iff you havent got hundreds of holes in the cabinet in the first place. Andy

    Glue is only one factor, the main issue is inconsistant MDF density or supply problems of MDF. For example MDF suppliers sand there MDF board, but depending on the sanding run you can get varied results, depends if you are using the first board off the line or the last.
