    Man Cave Wifi

    That's absolutely awesome but as it has zero effect on any FM device in my nice, remote, house and rigorous speed testing has already decisively proved zero impact to broadband speeds I really couldn't give a stuff

    Draught through ill-fitting windows

    I've just taken some photos so will get them on to photobucket shortly. The opening panels are approx 4ft high by 1.5ft wide. They lock at the bottom and open upwards. The bulge is at the centre point of the height. It is sufficient to get the tip of my little finger in on both panels. It...

    Man Cave Wifi

    I use powerline within the house and then have a tp-link av500 in the man cave which extends the wired network and transmits a cloned wi-fi signal. Simple set-up and ensures that all wired and wireless devices in the man shed have good signal

    Draught through ill-fitting windows

    Our upvc lounge windows have terrible draughts. The draught comes through the two opening sections of the windows. If you cast an eye down the length of the opening section you can see it quite visibly bow as if it is being wedged into a too small aperture. Is it simply poorly adjusted during...

    Conservatory Tie Bar random question(s)

    The previous owners of our house thought it would make perfect sense to spec a conservatory with no lighting. As it is also the dining room it can make evening meals 'interesting'. My random question is, if I pay attention to where they are presently tightened too, can I temporarily undo the...

    Morning peeps As per the title, I have a Grant Multipass Oil Boiler which has been sweet as a nut until Sunday morning when the heating didn't come on. The HW works perfectly. The observant amongst you may have seen another recent thread where I was in the process of fitting a Netatmo app...

    Boiler Room Stat wiring

    Hi folks, it's a while since I've needed assistance on here and I'm hoping you can steer me right as you've never done me wrong in the past. I have a Grants Multipass Oil boiler with onboard digital timer and no room stat. I have invested in the Netatmo wireless room stat, timer intelligent...

    Thanks for that John, I will give that a go, I have tape, washers and grease ready, just didn't want to bother doing that, if there was something else potentially to blame. Thanks for all your help

    Lost hot water pressure to a mixer tap

    Just to clarify, this room has two showers in it, so when i talked about the shower that is next to the immersion tank and sharing pipework, that is seperate to the shower in my initial post which is fed from the mixer tap on the bath. The shower not on the mixer tap is still fed from the...

    Lost hot water pressure to a mixer tap

    right, in the loft there is one smaller tank with a larger tank above, both appear to be mains fed, but, both the infeed and outfeed pipes from these tanks route through the same place. Which is, down behind the immersion tank, directly below, feeds going to the top of the immersion tank, which...

    Lost hot water pressure to a mixer tap

    Well there is a tank in the loft with a mains feed to it, that has to be drained in order for me to work on the system, ballcock tied up, etc. The tank is directly above the immersion tank, so could theoretically feed that? The overflow is from the loft so assumedly from this tank. Thanks

    Lost hot water pressure to a mixer tap

    Hi All, My bath has a mixer tap on it, is one of those that also has a shower head. The cold is fed from a loft tank almost directly above, the hot is fed from an immersion tank on the same level. The pressure of the hot water has always been relatively good, though would drop to almost...

    De Dietrich faulty oven

    Thanks for that. Ha play around with the control as it is also the control that alters the clock (really should have put 2 and 2 together as it hasn't worked since the clocks went forward) and it would appear that the inside of the knob has broken meaning that even though the knob itself...

    De Dietrich faulty oven

    Hi Guys, Our new house has a De Dietrich electric oven (quite old), the only identification i can find is on the warranty card that states it is a 2848, though net searches don't show anything for this model number. The problem is that after working perfectly fine with no obvious signs of...
