Got some Dulux primer and undercoat a while back. Decorating a mix of new and previously glossed wood. Anyhow, took the tin out this morning to make a start and discovered it's the quick drying stuff.(That'll teach me to go shopping without my glasses). I'm guessing that I can't use this stuff...

Well, I sanded and am truly impressed with the finish. Just goes to show, it pays to follow instructions sometimes. Thanks for the replies.

The finish isn't too bad at the minute, so I'm trying to understand the justification behind sanding before the final coat. By that reasoning, I could apply 99 coats and then sand before the 100th. Just wondering what the sanding actually brings to the job if you see what I mean.

WB 24CDi. 17 years old although it's a bit like Triggers broom. New fan, plate HE, gas valve, circuit board, AAV, expansion vessel. I'm sure there's bits I've missed. Will have to change it one day, just can't decide on a location for it.

Can you come and build mine?

I'm using some Ronseal, satin, quick drying varnish in the house. The tin says to sand with fine grit sandpaper before the final coat. Just wondering if this is absolutely necessary, cos I'm getting fed up to the teeth with this project and just want it done. TIA.

About to fit some new 41mm spindles. Just wondering if I need to put any nails into them or will glue be enough? TIA.

Found the answer.

Just been paid off. Was given a weeks notice on 17th Oct and expected to be paid up to the 24th. Only paid up to 23rd. HR says the day I was informed is included in the notice period. Not like that at any other place I've worked. Anyone know what the legal position is? I know it's only a days...

Packed up yesterday.Sometimes the compressor runs for a few minutes, other times you can see/hear it trying to start but nothing happens. Anything I can try to see if I can bring it back to life? SWMBO has already started looking at new one's but by the time she's made her mind up we could be in...

Sorted now. Phew.

As the title says. Anyone serving the above area, interested in quoting for work to, hall, stairs and upstairs landing. Only reply if you're actually prepared to come and look at the work and not leave me hanging around all day.

Thanks for all the replies.

That's my biggest problem, finding a decent installer. Seen too many bad installs by so-called reputable companies. Current heating system was installed by a local recommended company. Apart from the boiler, which was our choice the rest was s***e. All the pipework is getting ripped out sometime...

It's in an out-house. I should post a pic of the current installation but I'm too embarrassed.

It's a Vauxhall, which in my opinion is worse. Boiler is under a flat roof and a plume management kit wouldn't be a hardship either, just want to be prepared. We all know there are people out there that will take the easy option when it comes to boiler installation. Few months down the line...

I've read elsewhere on this forum that Intergas installers and parts support is a bit patchy. Never heard of them though, so I'll look them up.

I take it, by your suggestion, it's not recommended to have the plume discharging over the car.

I hate these sort of questions. However, in my defence, I haven't kept up with what's going on in the domestic home heating arena, last time I took this sort of thing seriously, Keston and Viessmann were the bees-knees. My current boiler is a WB 24CDi. Almost 17 years old. I'd like to stick...

Our existing conventional combi flue discharges over the drive. Just wondering, when the time comes to replace it with a condensor is the plume likely to cause any problems with the car body work. I know the condensate is mildly acidic. Might have to rethink things a bit. TIA
