    Linsar 32 inch DGTEC-DG320H buggered?

    Hi, Try removing the aerial plug from the TV, then retuning - (should remove all stations), then retune again. Might just work. Useful trick when retuning mixes up the channel order.

    Install kitchen units

    Hi, the fittings that came with the kitchen units fitted perfectly. I'm only DIY but have fitted several kitchens for family, mostly B&Q but also others (sorry, can't remember the brands).

As Doogle says a 10% or more larger one is the answer. I would also check the rad sizes of all your other rads and rooms - if...

    Removing part of stone fireplace

    Hi, I remember building one of these fireplaces back in the 70's at my first home, (Bradstone?).

    You can try a herbicide on Ash, but I find it needs to be dug out. On future Ash saplings dig out as soon as spotted.
