You were right. The came out and jetted it. It's now always clear.

They are best short enough that the whole length of them have the full width of the screw inside them (with the pointy bit out the end). The best place for a felling wedge, for lifting purps is beaten all the way in.

Update... I noticed a terrible smell coming in the lean to shelter. The AAV sat atop the soil pipe and was a couple inches below the polycarbonate lean-to roof-The one I had planned to cut through to extend the soil pipe up to the proper height,...until Durgo ideas, at least. I took apart the...

Depending on finish required, for the edges and the speed of delivery, I would use a multitool with grout remover (diamonds) or stitch drill with Dremel and 'pop -pop-pop' connect the dots cutting little by little with Stanley knife. Melting-stinky and horrible. Angle grinder hard to stop it...

It would seem that the air intake through your stack is the cause if I understand the following is true..? You get traps/u-bends in the house being sucked/gurgling. It smells in the same place, at the same time. I.e., In the moment this happens, due to your stack not supplying the system with...

Quickie: Looking at the before and after pics; does this look like the interceptor has been removed leaving a straight run through? ....If it was straight run through, would there be constant standing water? On flushing and observing, you see a 'replacement' cycle happening where only some gets...

This! Just bought a new capacitor and installed it. I have done the same on a juicer before but wasn't convinced it was the capacitor as it behaved differently to the juicers failure mode. Juicer stopped entirely. Bread maker would growl and stop mixing, sounding like it was straining. The...

Thanks. Am looking up PoE....

A brief search of offerings online at likes of Amazon or Screwfix make me think my desired spec is missing something obvious as I can't find an obvious purchase. I would like: -Outdoor cameras, mains powered- I can route power cables to them easily. -Sending data over wi-fi - To a central...

My 2 p....Yes. Concerned enough for due diligence to be done. Get it properly assessed. You may find neighbours in nearby houses have similar failure modes playing out. Not a time for fingers crossed approach. Imo .

It is still working just fine.Btw.

Thanks. Had a feeling it might be a 'no no'. Is there a board or system of boarding that I moderately skilled diyer could install with some kind of substrate/bonding? Obviously the joins would not overlay the slab joins, but would they not then become the site of cracks?

We have a utility area. Concrete slab poured in 4 sections. Two small rooms (larder and WC) with boundary at threshold onto the hallway section which itself is 2 strips about 2 m X 0.6 m. Given shonky build of the whole thing I strongly suspect there's no dpc nor bar in the slabs. Was about to...

Which one are you thinking of? Trades have a tendency to use generic terms for sealants.

Lapsed HETAS. The fire cement doesn't like the kind of movement your description creates as far as I am imagining it. However absent the flue being blocked, the Co doesn't 'try' nor usually succeed to get out of tiny little gaps. Like electricity in a weird way it has a preferred route, the...
