Yes, we have downloaded them - just need to get them printed off - will leave a copy for the tennants too...

Single occupancy - we haven't rented it out yet - just preparing... I don't know why my wife got the 2nd hand one at £800 when for another £250ish I think... she could have had a brand new one??? As for providing the instructions with the cooker I asked that. It would have been so much more...

Thanks for your input... Was sourced from a cooker refurb company and has 4 month warranty...

OK thanks... And that is not quite what I meant - but I can see how you have interpreted what I said :D I run engine dyno test cells. I do not do any mains electricity or gas connection work - but I do make connections and install test equipement, fuel connections, test gas analyser lines etc -...

OK - we have sourced a replacement cooker - similar dual fuel. Presumably same connections. I have contacted a company to do a 'landlord gas safety check' and asked if they can connect up the replacement oven whilst they are there. The receptionist says legally they cannot install the oven...

Makes sense...

I have a Diplomat Dual Fuel Range oven - DF1100aDL which is having electrical glitches. The Main Fan oven gets warm - but is about 40 degrees above the set temp, also is constantly warm (~40 deg C) unless the 'Auto' setting is engaged. The Grill temp controller 1-8 only works on full. I...

Thanks guys - yes just looking at charging 18v battery drill hedge trimmers etc. We will probably get some voltage convertors anyway and I can use them for the battery charger units so that seems the best option. Only for DIY use so fairly low demand. Cheers

Thanks guys - some helpful info there I will investigate.

Looking at visiting Canada for a couple of years... 110V 60Hz mains. Is it worth taking any UK electrical stuff? - I have asked a couple of manufacturers about power tool chargers for the batteries - the response so far is that I will need compatible chargers to be able to run the tools - not...

I had something like this on some of my boards - I assumed it was something to do with the preservative reacting with the resin from the pine. - It occured more around areas with knots in...

Decking Oil is what yer want! I am very impressed by the finish. I used 'Cuprinol Decking Oil and Protector' with Oak tint - it looks great. Best price I could find was screwfix ~ £30 for 5 litres. Enough for 2 coats on 6 x 5 deck. HTH :mrgreen:

Sorry for any confusion :oops: - no post centres are max 1.2 m - joists are every 400 mm!

It's great stuff - I love the colour :D I did my deck - and my teak patio furniture - best they've looked for years :lol: Can't comment on longevity of oil finish - only built deck this summer...

Joists should be every 400 mm! This is mine... Haven't got a pic with the oil yet - but used Curinol Decking Oil and Protector in Oak - I absolutely love the result! http://www.screwfix.com/prods/74233/Paint/Wood-Care/Cuprinol-Natural-Oak-Tinted-Decking-Oil-5Ltr Good luck with...

A daft question maybe??? :? :lol: But, I love the finish of the deck oil on my new deck (thanks to folks for all the advice on here 8) ) - Is there any reason that deck oil would be no good to do my timber window frames? Cheers

I got membrane from screwfix - 50 x 2 m (100m²) for about £37 IIRC - https://www.screwfix.com/prods/63606/Landscaping-Outdoor/Landscape-Fabric-Covers/Fabrics/Apollo-Weed-Control-50g-Fabric-Roll-50m-x-2m On the chippings front I got 20mm limestone gravel for ~ £42 per tonne bag from building...

Got mine from www.chadwicks-blackpool.co.uk - not sure how far away they deliver - or if they have other branches - Some places only supply 25mm timber for the deck boards. I got 38x125mm (30x120mm after machining) - good solid boards. BUT even then there was variation in colour and many had...

LOL :lol: - That's the problem with using the search feature and dredging up old posts without noticing :lol: Doh! :roll:

My deck was about 31 m² and cost in materials about £1100 so ~ £37 a m² - built over a period of 2/3 weeks, borrowed tools (circular saw table thingy and big cordless SDS drill 8) ) from a mate who used to do this sort of thing as a job - and lots of advice from here and other info on internet...
