I have made some progress. The issues with the floor in the "utility" room have been resolved. The original floor was painted with a damp proof coating and a 50cm screed laid. So that now sits for a week before I can continue to work in the room. I won't be able to paint it for at least a month...

I have an outbuilding which was a pair of single garages with a hallway between them. A previous owner has gone some way towards converting the building to living accommodation. Bricked up the garage doors, insulated the roof (mostly), plastered one garage out and 2 walls on the other, wired but...

That doc is the Installation Guide that I have. I have Googled and am going through results. Have found 1 item but need to register on forum (https://www.electriciansforums.net/threads/service-interval-timer-help.100630/ ). What I've seen the is indicator should have come up in January, as it...

The only battery in the system is in the thermostat unit that sits remotely from the programmer and talks to the receiver (RF Unit) next to the programmer. The thermostat has an indicator that shows if battery in need of replacement. The indicator is off, so assume battery is OK. The programmer...

Hi All, I'm wondering if anyone has any idea what is happening here. I have a CH/HW system made up of Worcester Greenstar boiler, 5 radiators and hw tank controlled by Danfoss FP715Si programmer and Danfoss Thermostat (RF). Programmer is set to run All Day from 0630 to 2230 Over the last year...

Thanks for the pointer on sanding discs. Is there an overall issue with quality ? I have seen offers of 40 discs for £5 (in fact not much cheaper than the ones you pointed to). On using a vacumn cleaner. I have a Dyson which is not easy/effective when used with it's hose. I guess I would be...

Thanks for your advice. I have changed order to : https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/bosch-pex300ae-270w-125mm-orbital-sander-230v/

I have decided to go with a random orbiter sander. I'm not keen on using the heat gun in my smallish flat. So it may take a bit longer I can live with that. I have ordered https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/bosch-psm200aes-200w-multi-sander-230v/ I have in the past used Bosch and have found...

Thank you for your replies. These are internal sills in ply wood (I think). I'm not sure how much paint is on here but I suspect not much but old. I don't want to burn off as the windows are UPVC. Top of the picture is the edge. The pic shows the surface which I suspect is other than orange peel...

I am planing to repaint 3 window sills. Each one is 54cm x 178cm. 2 are south facing and get full sun (as and when) most of the day. I need to sand down and am not sure what sander to get. I have had a orbital, which was great for dry walling but I don't think so in this situation. A detail...
