I don't do cars. They make my brain hurt. I'm hoping that there's a kind person out there who can tell me what this little white symbol means? Thank you! :)

No. If that was the case, I was thinking it might be possible to set up the waste with a push-fit socket so I could just line it up and push it into place. Trouble is, I like to see that a good joint has been achieved.

Unfortunately, I don't have that option. Once again, I think I'm going to have to conform to convention. How boring. Lol

I really like this all-in-one cast stone bathroom basin, but HOW would you go about plumbing in the waste? The back of the unit is open, so flexible braided tap connectors could be used for the taps (no access to isolator valves?) BUT without using a long, flexible waste pipe from the trap, I...

Assuming that the 90 degree bend in the corner is a standard fitting, I can't see an issue with this. It's almost identical to the setup in my place BUT note that my waste heads directly down to the drains at the point it leaves the bathroom!!

The fact that you can't readily find a three-way junction that works in this scenario would indicate that it's not a 'normal' arrangement. Anyone got a solution for this?

We had an entire house repointed a few years back. The build was soft red, but it had previously been repointed using sand and cement. Obviously this had caused widespread spalling, which had put off other buyers. Our guy spent 3 months grinding, raking out and repointing with hydraulic lime and...

Correct

Is it:- A. Wrong B. Like really bad C. Laughable

You need that dude with long hair from the Stella TV ad to fix it! Looks as if the original ridge tile was dislodged and someone made a temporary fix in a downpour. Obviously it needs trimming to fit and bedding down with mortar.

It's a Mitsubishi Electric dual controller for water and central heating with the Ecodan system. We also have solar panels. All windows and doors were closed and nobody came or went during the two weeks. It's a mystery!

I think the mistake I made was trusting 'Holiday Mode'. Generally, the system has been really economical, but I usually set the temperature manually, depending on how blue my wife's toes are. Maybe next time we go away I'll empty the freezer and shut the entire house down! Actually, it would be...

The Maldives I think! Lol

Ah, well in both locations our house has been 50s or 60s built, detached and with designated drains, so maybe that's why I got away with such a simple measure. Good to know!

Heck! I put my ASHP on 'Holiday Mode' because we were... on holiday. I put the temp on 10°C and long-pressed the suitcase icon until the display showed 'Holiday Mode'. Anyway, turns out I was charged MORE for the two weeks we were away (£39) than the following two weeks when all appliances were...

Guess I got lucky then! 4 years is a fair test for a bodge! Lol

Building Regs signed it off when the project was complete too!

We had a through-roof vent on our stack pipe and sewer gas wafted in through our bathroom window like Bisto when the wind blew in a certain direction, so I cut the pipe down to 1m above the upstairs loo and bunged an AAV in there (it terminated in the eaves). Anyway, that was 4 years ago and I...

I'm 99.9% certain that the tray in the pic is LH. Can anyone give me the final 0.1% before I order? Thanks!

Stick to 4" and you can put a dog leg in if you need to. Hope you signed that picture!
