Thank you flameport, it will be installed properly! The heating engineer that visited on Friday last week says..... empty it and let him know, then he'll disconnect it and help me move it to one side. I'll pour a new concrete base, and he'll return to connect it back up. He says he's always...

Crack on then. If you think no one will find out you have done something you shouldn't have then fine. Don't be surprised though if repercussions follow. What do you know that you are not sharing with us? Are there regulations, laws that prevent me or a heating engineer from doing anything...

You really can get in to a heap of trouble for that. Can elaborate on that at all, as i understand things the supplier owns the tank and responsible for the tank not the pipework that connects to it so surely unless i'm missing something i can remove the pipework..... well get an engineer to do...

When you move / change supplier, the current supplier (owner of the tank) sells the tank to the new supplier. The current supplier does not take away the tank when you switch, the current supplier is not legally obliged to make the tank legal / comply with current building regs either. I could...

Hoping someone can help. Just moved into a new (to me) home that has an LPG boiler supplying hot water and heating with a 1200ltr bulk tank. Current owner of the tank wants to charge me a fortune to supply LPG gas (42.9ppl) If i switch i could get it at 33ppl. However, the tanks current...

Why don't you build your own server and install a linux distro and experiment at home first, it isn't difficult to do and the server spec needn't be more than a STD desktop PC. You can then play at will without investing a lot of money in hosting and buying domain names etc until you're happy...

Some sim contracts download speeds are capped at 2Mb. Ask three what your download speed is capped at if at all. I'd find out where the nearest three mast is and in what direction it is from your home. If it's say at the front of the house for example then on a dry day run outside an...

My thoughts are that airborne moisture will condensate on cold surfaces. The floor being the coldest surface in your case and the foam files are absorbing that moisture and holding onto it. Others may have different thoughts but i'd say you should have assembled the summer house on a raised...

If it were me in your position i would just get on with. Any cables and pipework etc will be deep below the surface, well certainly well deep enough for what you're doing. However, i would exercise caution along the way and start by exposing the entire concreted area to find out just how far...

My experience is that.... Less is more insofar as i would remove all telephone extensions within the property and have just one master BT socket only. Change the BT socket to an NTE5+ box. The master needs to be next to at least one mains electrical socket and if it isn't then create one near...

As far as i'm aware you only need a TV Licence if your TV / device is tuned to receive bbc channels even if you don't watch bbc channels. So if your TV or device is sophisticated enough you could disable bbc channels or manually retune all bbc channels to some other channel or frequency. Then...

Absolutely, trying to be simplistic. The majority of people are not aware, nor do they care. New freesat boxes i believe now ask you for your TV licence number. If you don't have one you're denied bbc content, but you can still watch other channels.

Re Licencing... My understanding is that all such devices require a licence to use, however i believe that the end user, me, you and everybody else are automatically licenced when agreeing to T&C'c with a product service provider. A, A lifetime licence is granted on the purchase of the...

Seems to have been a little activity here whilst i've been away over the weekend, away, meaning away from the PC not away from home! I have friends who have tried Satellite Broadband with two different companies and on switching the system on it's great but after a while (A few hours or Days)...
