    Servicing and guarantee

    I got a letter from Vaillant on the 1.12.09 telling me my boiler needs servicing to take advantage of the second year guarantee. I am planning on getting it services early January when funds will allow. Will they still honor the guarantee?

    Worktop router cutting bits

    I took advice from here and used colorfill because it is made for this very job and this job only so in theory should be the best. Its not cheap at £7 a tube for 1 joint. Ikea worktops are 620 wide. The jig I bought was for 600 OR 616 worktops and this made the job a little more complicated...

    Door Width Questions (Kitchen type) - Plans included!

    Measure your kitchen cabinets. But I don't think you will get one for that 800 dimension. The normal inside opening dimensions would be 300-36, 400-36, 500-36, 600-36 (36=18*2 normal carcase material thickness).

    Insulate outside tap?

    Don't see how these cover can work. There is water in the tap and pipe. It could be subject to freezing temperatures for days at a time. No amount of insulation is going to keep the tab above freezing for that amount of time. Isolate and open tap as advised above.

    Ecosavers Radiator Foil

    You can spend the £14.99 on yourself and still save energy. Simply call in the pub 4 nights a year on your way home from work, buy 1 gas of wine and set your heating to come on 30 mins later.

    Worktop router cutting bits

    I cut the female part of the joint square first then cut the male to suit the slightly out of square walls. Take your time and think everything through before you cut.
