    Supplementary Bonding Query

    Thanks for your replies. I cannot access the CPC for the lighting circuit, except for at the switch. The building is concrete prefab flats and accessing the rose would involve demolishing half the ceiling (which is concrete). Would it be ok to join this to the shower CPC at the switch...

    Hi, I am looking to replace my current bathroom suite, but I'm a bit stumped by the toilet. The bathroom is upstairs of a two floor flat. Currently the cistern is attached to the wall seperately and a pipe runs to the toilet itself which drains into what looks like a concrete pipe...

    want to make precipitator to purify water

    I must disagree with you there, you are missing the point. Indeed Energy can neither be created or destroyed etc (except in the form of a fission reaction i.e. the sun) however we are not talking about using electricity and converting it to hydrogen which then powers the engione to power the...

    want to make precipitator to purify water

    Sorry if I seem dumb, but I'm confused! So you have a tank of water with .7mm steel plates 1/8" apart connected to car batt. The pos- neu -neu- neg -neu-neu-pos bit confuses me. Cheers

    Hotpoint FF68p problem (think it's defrost)

    Thansk for your reply. I have read the topic you posted but this does seem different to my problem. Mine functions as it should, just too often. I must disagree with your temperature though.... According to Food hygiene regs the "Danger Zone" is between 5C and 60C and food should be...

    Hotpoint FF68p problem (think it's defrost)

    Hi, I have the above Frost Free fridge freezer and havea small problem. My understanding of it's operation is that it does a 'defrost cycle' every now and again where the compressor and fans turn off and the evaporator (i think) at the back of the fridge and freezer compartments are...

    Dwarf Wall / Floor Question

    Cheers for your replies. There will be a 'tunell' in drain pipe bedded into the floor to a surface drain to allow water to drain away. I'm not so bothered about damp rising in the dwarf wall so long as it doesn't affect the house/timber, so maybe after it's dryed I can paint a bitumen...

    Dwarf Wall / Floor Question

    Dwarf Wall / Floor Question

    Hi, I'm building a shed type lean to thingy on the end of my kitchen. At the moment I have the roof up and am looking at the walls now. The current yard (concrete) has a slight slope to the house. To keep wood from contacting the ground I was going to support the struts to the roof on a...

    Making sliding doors

    Hi, I'm looking to make sliding doors for built in wardrobes I'm building but I'm struggling on how exactly to do it. I can't buy any pre made etc as my ceilings are too high (11 feet) so they'll look silly. I was going to make a simple frame using PAR 3x2 with 2x1 cross pieces to divide...

    DIY Combi Install

    This is all what my Corgi would be able to tell me what he's happy with me doing. I'm trying to get an idea of what is req'd etc. You seem to assume I am going to install everything then give someone a call and say "Could you just pop down and sign it all off and I'll wing you £50 for your...
