    Red pipe, blue knob leaking under kitchen sink

    The blue knob is in the on position. Those types of isolators can leak from the spindle although looking at the connection tothe brass pipe that is corroded so is possibly leaking as well. Turning the blue knob to the off position will not stop the leak unless it is coming from the plastic...

    Buying the freehold on my block of flats

    As for your lack of £6000 only the bank can say if they will loan you that money. Ask them they can only say yes or no.

    Get frame off one paint roller onto another

    They are normally held on by spring clips but maybe they are not meant to come off. Maybe buy another roller handle with the sleeve on it. |They are made to a cheap price so, possibly, cannot be altered.

    Who uses Pagers these days anyway?

    I don't think I buy the explosives inserted into these devices by the manufacturers or whoever. Lithium is a highly explosive material in it's own right as we are seeing with EVs going up in smoke. Military explosives tend to only burn unless confined in some sort of container as it is the...

    How would you deal with this cast iron bath

    That's what I used. Cut into 4 pieces and let the scrappy take it away.

    Can radiators be piped from above?

    Again my 30 odd year old 8mm microbore heating is piped from above because we have concrete floors. It isn't very pretty I will admit but it works. I also had a narrow boat before I moved to this god forsaken place called wales (only because it's where my family are) and whilst the central...

    Reducing Leylandii hedge

    Cut it down from the ground then burn it and put up a nice fence. Damn stuff should be banned.

    Inheritance.

    My mother in law was in a home for a goodly number of years. The money we used to keep her there wasn't ours it was hers and the proceeds from her house. We have already signed over our house to our children and when the time comes, assuming our deaths will not be sudden, we will ensure that...

    Storage Issues Win 11

    That is why you should do a clean install every so often, I do my computers every 3 or 4 months or so. Yes it's a pain in the ass but when you delete a file windows only deletes the header and the rest of the file is left behind until that part of the hard drive (both mechanical and electronic )...

    Broadband issues, and no master socket found

    You have an old type socket that the main telephone line comes into. The newer sockets incorporate the ADSL filter inside the socket itself. The faceplat on the newer sockets have two connections, one for your phone and one for the modem. The newer sockets also have a removable faceplate that if...

    Death penalty

    What I cannot understand is why people who cannot see beyond their noses and just want to stir the wotsit only EVER blame brexit. Yes brexit was squandered but that was because we have had 15 years of rubbish who had the audacity to call themselves a government. This lot are no better. The last...

    Can Kamala Harris win?

    As I pointed out in another thread on this subject. America is the most racially backward, mysogynistic, male dominated go hung country in the world in my opinion. Kamala Harris is a coloured woman and an ex vp. She will have a huge job to bring the american people over to her side especially...

    Terrestrial TV Usage.

    The problem is not that television services are paid for or free the problem is that whichever method you use to watch television all, without exception, broadcast crap programs and many many repeats and very old content and if you pay for sky, which I stopped doing a long time ago, you are...

    Biden to go?

    Going to stick my oar in now. Biden had to go quite apart from the fact that he is senile and not capable of governing america any more the pressure for him to step down was enormous. Biden did a lot for america with his foriegn policy but did very little tangible for the american people. I am...

    Soil erosion from neighbouring property

    Those pictures mean absolutely nothing. If that is your side of that wall then just block it although I don't think salad will do much. If it's their side then they will have to sort it but again salad wont do it, lettuce leaves tend to rot away quite quickly.

    Switch oil to gas with microbore piping?

    I live in a concrete floored bungalow built in 1982 and we have 8mm microbore. It works fine and we have a gas boiler that has been in for 17 years. I have changed all the rads in the house over a period of 3 years some for doubles rather the singles that were there. I don't particularly like...

    Biden got one thing right ...

    The problem is the redneck numpties in america will put trump into the white house and trump could well start WW3. Having said that a complete reset, which WW3 would bring, is probably a good thing for this idiot world in the long term.

    Philanthropist Or Not?

    Absolutely not. I would see that my family are all okay and the rest would be mine to do with as I wish and that does not include giving any away to any charity.
