    Plumbed or electric towel radiator

    My downstairs cloakroom had a plumbed radiator, as the room was cold even in the summer I replaced it with an electric one. Its thermostatic on the lowest setting, it does a brilliant job.

    Old wood for burning in fireplace stove

    I burn everything in a wood burner as fumes go straight out. With an open fire unless you have a really good draught the fumes may not all go up, but saying that I would burn it on an open nfire once the fire had a good burn, ensure good ventilation.

    Is carpenter overspecifying?

    I bet his labour cost is more than the materials. Unless its not going to be your long term house go cheapest. If you intend a long time home, get his recommendation. Thats what I would do.

    The Skiing Thread: (No B**x*t Or Politics!)

    My last 15 or so trips have been to Courchevel. As I am a solo skier its about single room prices & I have been happy in what I was paying, unfortunatly the company I use has scaled back & are now not using the Chalet/Hotel. So I am still going to the 3 valleys @ Brides Le Bains.

    The Skiing Thread: (No B**x*t Or Politics!)

    There are plenty of ski forum's about & they dont talk about DIY, Brexit yes as it has/will have an impact. My 2021 ski trip had many changes before it was cancelled (full no hassle refund even car parking). France no signs of opening. My 2022 is booked.

    Bathroom Ceiling Paint Not Sticking

    You will need to remove all the flaking paint, mist coat & repaint, I dont think you will find another way. Although ias you are only after a bodge, you might get away using a brush, hope they dont look up, distract them, drop something.

    Gas pipe touching electric oven

    As long as they are below the permitted temperature they have passed the test. If the cooker is at the upper end, then the opp should ensure if touching the gas it will be safe. We need a GAS person to tell us what is & isnt allowed.
