Hi ! Now it's my turn- sorry for the late reply- had a busy time. Mind you- spiced up a bit with a great carvery meal out :D Thanks- that information gives me a good guide, really it's a good help. I'd rather try flushing than stripping out any more, that would entail taking off a...

I guess the sound of silence means no guesses, or else nobody knows. What what!- I am good with mechanics but didn't want to strip the equipment any further than at present. I don't have an air pressure setup to try blowing out the blockage. Cheers for any ideas. Do I get out the...

Hi, I have a blocked oil output on a Dynamac chainsaw- electric 19e type. Would anyone know how the system works Is the pump a thread on the spindle or what- any ideas on how to clear it. Do you know if the oil co-agulates or goes solid when left in long ? I haven't tried a thinner oil...

Hi ! again, If that's what it takes- guess I'll just have to put on a wet suit and get on with it- aint used one of these before. Guess a low power would be best- don't want to strip any render off. Thanks TM1

Hi! Any advice on cleaning this render, it's not that soiled, but I'm having a new hall door in upvc soon. So the job needs doing about now - in case a chemical needs to be used. Thanks for any replies in advance. PS Im sure it's tyrolean - not certain.

Hi again gregers, No- thats a very good idea- to get the door glass covered in safety film . Many thanks, that appears to be the answer. I had once heard of that stuff many years ago,but it must have dropped out of my head- the way my hair is going. All the best. That will do fine...

Hi .Greg. That's an idea, I admitt to having toyed with the possibility. I would have to 'drop in' a panel of something strongish and not too heavy. I suppose they don't make any good looking material for this type job ? I could go for new doors like 'composition' or something- white...

Hi all, We have full glass danger doors in the hall, two standard with the middle. cut out and replaced with glass. A third I made as a folding door using two redundant ones from the kitchen- with two narrower same glass panels, hung at the top only. The front hall door is also a full glass...

Hi again, You really must try my home brew- you're all getting far too serious flameport- How on earth could I wire to the meter- I meant this is just the area of concern- where the consumer unit- the main supplier's fusing- and the main or 'trunk' earth enclosing the RED & BLACK Company...

Hi guys- again I keep on popping up to disturb the peace. I feel like Steve McQueen on the Sand Pebbles- being shot to pieces. The 'earth' that you're all flogging. There has always been an earth of sorts -assuming the water pipe in my house is accepted The Resistance of this to the...

Hi guys Sorry for the delay an the 'Echo' I did put a long long reply to this thread, but unfortunitly it got lost when I submitted it- an I just cant go through all that again- sorry I am most grateful for all your replies- and they will help in many ways- First-I shall consider...

Hi again guys, Sorry for the delay in replying- had to jump ship last night. First- Ricicle- the existing switch and machine HAS got an earth, this is the old single bare thickish earth wire- which I didnt put in. It goes to the water pipe which enters the ground a foot downwards and runs...

Hi guys, I want to get a switch ready fo a new washing m/c, as our old one is finished. The bonding is a puzzle to me- but I intend to run a bond earth wire to the washer direct from the cold copper pipe. Also run a bond earth from this pipe to the double pole switch -(as this has no earth as...

Hi Lesley, I think the worm/beetles are active May-July and if there is no sign of wood dust then don't worry- just keep a look out. They are likely long gone and no threat. It is a different type in hardwood usually than in softwood. Hope this helps.

Hi again. A big apology for the delay- computer update took ages- (it was taken from me to do this) Matty-- the carpet was £6-99 sq.mtr. The backing is thin hard foam- grey colour. The piece is 3 by 4 mtr. And has a 10 yr guarantee!! (Also good for dogs to walk on- they won't slip and...
