Were thinking obout painting the outside of our house, it has the rough rendering stuff round the top half on the front and side, were gonna do it white. But the question is: Which of the above exterior paints are the best to use ?? and if both of them are crap, which would you recomend ...

Yup, they are good value for money, and its the same as anything else...... you get what you pay for imo. Although, for the price range you are looking at, Screwfix do some better suites i reckon, with steel bath, and mixer shower taps. they look really nice, and i'm thinking of purchasing one...

Again, thanks for all the help this morning guys. This forum is ace :D We ended up going with the 12 month option for 26.50 a month, and they are coming out tomorrow to repair the boiler, it wont be as much for cover next year tho, only about £108 which seems well worth it to me. I'm...

Thanks for all he help guys, ive just spoken to ideal d got all the info, it was £240 for the one off repair or £26.50 per month for 12 month cover, OR i could shop around and go with Npower (who are our provider) or british gas. What do you reckon ???

HELLO AGAIN. caps. On closer inspection, it seems like the water is leaking from where the diverter valve joins the DHW plate heat exchange ?? Also, when i have dropped the PCB from the clamp, it does have a certain burnt/singed smell to it ?? kind of like the smell you get when a dewalt...

Hi bengasman, & thanks for the quick reply. There is no plug to take out, unless you mean the one in the mains ?? Anyway, i swithed it all of and tapped and toggled a little bit, and i noticed a little water drip out of the bottom. I have taken off the fron and there seems to be some water...

Hi Woke up this morning and we have no hot water ? All the lights on the boiler have gone out, but the lights on the socket/swith are still on, and the timer/thermostat still has power. I assume that the power to the boiler is ok, and it must be a problem inside the actual boiler. I...

:D :D :D ALL DONE !!!! :D :D :D Managed to get the cooker socket changed over, not tiled yet but its starting to look great. I used the grommits, and earthing cable and everything seems to be working fine. Many thanks for all your help, when the kitchen is finished i will post some...

Thanks for all the help, i'll pick up some grommets today and make sure i put them on the double sockets i changed too. you'd think if these grommets were essential they would be supplied with the back box. I'll let you know how i get on. Cheers Rich

Ye, i noticed that too, could have been set out better really eh ?? Again, excuse my being thick, but Grommets ????? i have earth sleeving from when i did my sockets. will my sockets need these grommets too then ??

Regarding Part P, if i just chnage the box to a flush fixed panel, i dont need to notify ?? i'm leaning more towards this option, rather than doing away with the box al together, because knowing my wife, 2 years down the line, she will want an oven and hob fitting, thus requiring it all...
