Is the mcb that was tripped definitely the one for the boiler or is it maybe one that's off as that circuits no longer in use and the 3a fuse was just blown?

The pictures nothing to do with me just something I found showing similar to what she wants. What's wrong with that first step?

Hi all, The wife has decided we're having white oak spindles and balustrade on the stairs she's also decided she wants the bottom newel post set back a couple of steps like below, I've only ever done 1 balustrade in our old house and the newel post was at the the end so I drilled into the...

What's the room where they currently are going to be? I can't see the dno having an issue with them being left where they are, when you said internal the natural thought is somewhere further inside the house.

The titan will do it, to make it easier on the drill I'd start the core and once the core bit is about 15-20mm into the wall remove the core and use an sds masonry bit to stitch drill all the way round the groove the core has created then use the core drill again to finish the hole.

**** on the pipe to help it defrost quicker

You are over thinking things massively, everything used to have brushes and people managed fine. The important thing for you to decide is which brand your buying into so you can use the same batteries across everything so maybe check all the tools your thinking of are available from the same...

That's true but over time the fault may also show itself in another way, I'm with you Harry in fix the original issue but I can understand why people look for a solution to allow life to move on until they revisit things

Only other thought is do you have a manual way into the boot, if your isolator fails in the battery disconnected position how are you getting back in to remove it?

I'd give it a go, amazon's return policy is pretty good so if the cca killed it you'd likely still be able to return it, I'd also believe someone's real life experience over chat gpt. Having said all that I'd have to get to the bottom of the cause it would drive me mad otherwise.

If you genuinely feel competent to do then do it, if you don't have it signed off by a bco then that would only be an issue if you try to sell the property and it's upto you if your willing to accept the difficulty/loss in value. From a safety point of view the first thing to sort out is an...

Those are i joists, perfectly normal for the age of your house. You can still so what you originally planned it's just a bit more work, if you use pu glue and pilot hole the hangers you can still fix your cls to the joists, the 2 pieces running between the joists are probably there to prevent...

Straight on the wall and foil tape all the joins

Don't know if your sorted for this, If I'm right you basically want that m16 nut with one end of that 3/8 bsp nipple attached to it? If so I can probably do it Sunday at work, I'll just cut one end of the nipple off and tig the nut to it. What exactly is it for?
