Just to look nice over the patio. No plants or anything growing over it.

Hi, got 6”x6” posts for pergola. What joists are best? 6”x2” or 4”x2”. Not sure what to go for. Pergola will be 4.8m x 3m, 2 bays. Thanks

I have a Samsung lcd tv with half a dozen white spots on the screen, every now and then another one appears. I hear it’s the individual reflectors which have come unstuck. How easy is it to remove the back of the tv and re-stick the reflectors with some superglue or something? Can it be done...

Great thanks @terryplumb! Makes sense, just wanted to be sure.

Hi folks, Quick one..... When assembling waste for new sink and seals for toilet cistern, is it usual practice to smear some leak sealer eg fernox LS-X around the seals before fitting or does that cause more problems than solutions? Also threads for cistern inlet - good practice to wrap in ptfe...

Amen! Thanks for the reality Durhamplumber. I set out to replace my boiler so I can simply get hot radiators and hot water in the taps. I want something better than a fiesta or mini metro, but don’t need a rolls-Royce - all get you to where you want to go. I’m going for 1 of the 3 in original...

Why do you say that? The viessmann is rated at 18litres/min - only slightly higher than my main, and the 35kw Worcester 8000 rated at 16litres/min. Why would I have to upgrade the main?

Good call Whall3y. Something like this with an inbuilt unvented cylinder for the odd occasion I need 2 showers and that should be perfect combo of performance vs price

Yes but surely you pick a system to fit requirements....I understand an unvented cylinder might be the best overall option for supplying hot water, but I don’t need to supply 3-4 showers all at the same time. Mostly run 1 shower at a time, but don’t want the limitation on the odd occasion I want...

But I don’t think I need to store such a large volume of hot water in an unvented cylinder.....it’s fairly rare i need to run multiple showers/outlets are the same time as the family all get ready at different times, but I’d like to have some capabilities just in case at an affordable price. I...

Good question - all the installers I’ve spoken to all advise the unvented route is a fair bit more expensive - as I need to also buy the unvented cylinder and pay the labour to install on top of the cost and install for the boiler. I don’t really want to pay much above 4K-4.5k and nobody can...

5 people including me Yes, currently original 33year old hot water cylinder - happy to get rid. I reckon 16-17litres/min flow

5 people - me as well . I reckon incoming flow is 16-17litres/min roughly.

4 bed detached, 2 bathrooms, wife & 3 boys under 12. Swapping out old 33 year old gravity ideal Mexico super rs80.

Why you pick this? Is this in 40kw guise just as good?
