All up and running as it should be! Thanks again.

To be fair it was me that had disconnected that wire before I took the picture!

Really -as simple as that? And yep the wiring is fairly crappy looking! My inner OCD may kick in when I do it and tidy them up a bit! Many thanks!

Hi all,am after some advice about wiring Hive heating controls in to replace existing Drayton control system. Heating is I believe Y plan with seperate hot water tank and 3 port valve. I understand the Hive receiver is a straight forward clip in to existing backplate. I'm not sure about how to...

There's plenty of different options about- Firestone, rubber4roofs etc. Google is your friend. The water based adhesive is for the main deck and the contact adhesive is for the perimeter/edges of the roof.

This has been happening to me this weekend as well? Only have an iPad at home so don't know whether it is the same on a PC as well? It doesn't happen on every thread that I click on though!

So you've got an 800k house that you paid circa 350k to have built. You freely admit you screwed the builder around from the very beginning and now you're crying that he is being 'horrible' and wants 6k to give you the warranty that he paid for despite the fact you know he put extra thousands in...
