Decided to call it a day early to go home and watch wales beat england :lol: AND THE WIFE AGREED...... :shock: so feet up now ready to watch what looks on paper to be a very good game.

The radiator has a cold part approx 12 x 12 inches at the bottom in the middle. when i i have bled some water off and gently tapped the rad with a rubber mallett the water runs as black as coal, and despite emptying the rad almost completely the cold spot wont move.... so as the rads in the...

Thanks people, i should have taken the time to trawl the site instead of harrassing you...... :oops: i did forget to mention that i have a thermostat thingy one end, having just bought the property we have had numerous probs with heating. wondering if it is worth buying a new one and fit it...

we live in a bungalow, the cold water tank is about 5ft above shower (if that) forgot to add the shower was recently purchased from homebase Ivory III 9.5kw electric shower.

Connected the shower up today and turned it on for the first time. water dribbled out like an old man taking a waz.... :roll: the shower is coming off a cold feed 22mm pipe which goes on to feed bath. i checked stop cock and checked it had been put on full, and also checked outside to make...

in case anyone else gets this problem i managed to solve it by: stripping the tap and cleaning everything making sure nothing inside that shouldn't be. disconnecting pipe then doing yoga to get into a position to blow up the pipes and down the pipes. this seemed to clear whatever was causing...

We are in the process of moving and i took down a light that was working fine. However when i took the light down i found 3 cables, i found 2 red cables taped into an electrical block, 4 black wires which i presume are neutrals, 5 earth wires, a single red wire. Now i know that some of the...

Ahhhh i see where you are coming from - no strangely they treated 50ft of the facia boards, my guess is they run out of whatever they were treating it with and never got round to buying more. We have been told that the bungalow was a self build project approx 21 years ago, and the poof fella...

Hate to make u pig sick as your obviously a bargain hunter, we got our worktop joiners for £1.99 in "No frills" Not sure if any of you have one of these near you, if so definately worth a visit. We also got the worktops we wanted from there £25 each for 3metre lengths. I did not take the...

the bungalow i have just bought has a rotten facia board. i noticed that the last 3 feet of guttering is flapping away with the wood too rotten to re-attach the guttering. do i tap out the facia board to find where the rotten wood ends, then cut it out with a tenon saw, replace the board then...

i replaced the same sink and tap that i took out. i believe the only change has been an added elbow and a dishwasher connected.

cold water is fine - no hot water out of tap.

I am having trouble with bungalow, i have hot water coming from tap in bathroom which is next to the bedroom where the cylinder tank is located. however i do not have any hot water coming out of the tap in the kitchen. there is an isolater valve below, which appears to turn with little...

I thought i would have a go at cutting the hole in our brand new worktops with my laser guided jigsaw.... thought things were going really well when i glanced at the hole i was sawing to - i was going to miss it by at least half an inch...... panic attack kicked in, explained to wife that i...
