cheers kevplumb...so do you get much plumbing work iin Afghanistan then?

I'm about to fit a new power shower and I'm concerned about the pump I've bought having an auto-cut-out if the hot water exceeds 65degrees...because I'm pretty sure my HW supply is hotter than that. I have a pretty cruddy old CH/HW system with a conventional gas boiler (on the ground floor)...

sorry, should have been clearer - I meant when you are putting up a featherboard fence with the 'structural' stuff being the arris rails and brackets between the posts. Much as I'd love the simplicity of panels my boundary is littered with trees/walls/etc that i have to work around.

Apologies for rehashing a post that is over a year old but I was looking for information on this subject and thought it might be of interest to people still. Found a couple of good websites with info on this: here here The interesting bits being: and: So it seems that there...

That would make sense as the house is wired through plastic conduit - thanks.

I wondered the same about the insulating tape theory but the sticky stuff can be found on the cables in the switches, roses and junction boxes - and there seems to be too much of it to have come from tape (I found two reasonable sized blobs of it on top of one ceiling rose). Thanks for the...

I've recently moved into a house built in 1969. I'm fairly competent around the house with electrics and plumbing and stuff but recently came across something that has me stumped. I have a standard 2-way switched hallway light that can be operated by either one of two single switches at...
