as i keep saying - i am not doing anything with the gas. I am only notching the joists for the pipe to sit in. I am only installing the central heating pipework and radiators. I have now contacted a corgi who is going to connect all the gas and commision the boiler. Also, as i have been...

i am following all the relevant building regulations as it is not worth not - also they are there for a reason. Glad you agree i am right softus, i knew you would understand if i kept telling you. ...and we all make mistakes i don't see why the plumbers on here are so against me...

i've written the same thing twice because you obviously need things explaining to you. I am trying to tell you that i willing to pay a plumber for skilled work - hope it has now sunk in. I have said before i will use a corgi registered plumber to connect the gas so stop trying to pick stupid...

thankyou again for the help. Softus- all i said was that it is very basic labour work and that i would rather do it myself than pay £20 an hour to a plumber. I only wanted to know the size of pipe so i can notch the joists in preparation before i get the plumber in. I will then be more...

thank you for the help. As stated i will not be connecting the gas supply, only notching the joists and laying the pipes in place - no joining. It just seems ludicrous to pay a plumber (or anyone) £20 an hour to do very basic labour work. Another question: i have found the water...

I want to make or buy a log mantel shelf. I have searched on the internet, but can't find anything. Has anybody else done this and know where i can get one from and know the best method to install it. The mantel shelf needs to be about 1m in length. Many thanks Sneaky

i'm not sure of the proper name it was a hilti hammer drill with a small chisel on the end. i tried drilling and chiselling one back box and couldn't do it within 2 hours hired the tool and it took me less than 2 hours to do 9 back boxes!!!

i recently had the same problem. i hired a chipping tool from a hire centre and the work was easy. cost about £20-£30 for the day - but was worth every penny!!! (depends on No. of sockets you have)

i have installed 3 new TSSOs into one of my bedrooms. There used to be 1 TSSO on the ring and 1 SSSO on a radial from it. I have removed the SSSO and added the 3 new TSSO onto the existing ring. The question i have is about testing. I have purchased a 13A test socket, but should i also be...
