    Dyson DC04 suckless!

    This is interesting as my DC014 Animal one has a very similar problem. It has plenty of suck through the hose, however when used as a normal vacum cleaner on the carpet it does buxxer all except the brush spins. I have checked all pipes and they are clear.

    securing taps?!?!

    I have stripped down a basic single bathroom basin tap as the water flow was nearly non existant. I have cleaned it all out and all seems ok.

    Mounting LCD TV on Chimney Breast

    Before you do this make sure the television will be at a comfotable height/viewing angle. The only reason I metion this is I put one up in my childrens playroom at what would be a similar height and ended up lowering it as everyone developed neck ache!!!

    Another bathroom tiling question

Tops Tiles do a product similar to no more ply that is about 6mm thick from memory and both of these are ment to be a direct replacement for WPB plywood, however I have never personally used either so can not comment on how good/bad...
