    Best way to finish paint-stripped victorian oak doors etc?

    Yes, well, I by no means think the sanding job is done on this one! I mean, I haven't even started sanding the centers of the panels, and don't consider the outer parts finished or anything like this. I'm still even getting the old varnish out of the detail. I'm aware the door as seen here is...

    Best way to finish paint-stripped victorian oak doors etc?

    Ok, here's a couple of pics of the door, partly sanded. I forgot to rotate them before uploading, I'll maybe fix that later, but got to run just now. I think everyone can get the idea from these though.

    Best way to finish paint-stripped victorian oak doors etc?

    Hello, I've recently begun stripping the many layers of paint and varnish from the wood in my recently purchased Victorian era flat. I have discovered that what I thought were horrible plain doors are actually nice solid panelled doors which have had sheets of wood nailed to them and painted...

    What minimum flow rate should Worcester 28i DHW turn on at?

    Sorry, I thought the other thread had, died, I'll keep it in one place in future. my nickname is not directly related to the tool! I've just used it for years.

    Newly installed Worcester 28i hot water problem

    11L/min minimum flow rate, really? I think this sounds like the maximum not the minimum. That would fill my sink in under a minute I'm sure.

    What minimum flow rate should Worcester 28i DHW turn on at?

    Hi, at what minimum flow rate should I expect a Worcester Greenstar 28i junior boiler to activate the flow switch for the domestic hot water supply?

    Newly installed Worcester 28i hot water problem

    Also, to add some further information, I have now measured the flow rate when it won't turn on. I filled a 2L jug from the tap in about 50 seconds without the boiler turning on, so at least 2L/min. What minimum flow rate should I expect it to work to? By slowly turning up the flow until the...

    Newly installed Worcester 28i hot water problem

    Yes, he checked the water pressure before installing, and there is quite a high flow rate, at least water comes out of the taps at a much higher rate than I would normally ever require when turned on full blast. The other things I've not been that happy with is to do with how he cut and...

    Yes, only commissioned on Friday (yesterday) so he may not even have noticed this

    Newly installed Worcester 28i hot water problem

    Hello, I have had gas central heating fitted this week with a Worcester Greenstar 28i junior being fitted. I have found however that the boiler seems to be very insensitive to the hot water flow. When I turn on the hot water tap you can get a little hot water for a while (I believe being left...

    lowering the ceiling in a small room, some questions

    Yes, it does show show this in the image, but it does not say what size of board this would be (for instance perhaps less wide boards might not require support in the middle or wider boards would require more etc. not totally clear for a novice). Thanks for spelling this out for me, I think I...

    lowering the ceiling in a small room, some questions

    Thanks for the useful info, I hadn't come across MF ceilings before, I will look into them. That could be much easier. If using wood, I had also been assuming that I would have the supports running as shown in the first diagram below where the solid lines are the plasterboard sheet and the...

    lowering the ceiling in a small room, some questions

    Hi foxhole, Thanks for the link, I've actually read this already though, and many other similar sites, and it doesn't quite answer my questions. I still don't know whether I need a joist running down the centre of each sheet for instance, or just one at each edge. I also don't know how to...

    lowering the ceiling in a small room, some questions

    I live in an old flat with no access to the floor above the ceiling, also the insulation above the current roof is ash which I would have to let fall out and don't fancy messing with. I would also like to ensure there is room for thermal dissipation of the lights, although I'll be getting fire...
