Planning my (smallish) U shaped kitchen - (not decided whether to go to ikea/howdens/wickes yet but will be fitted by a joiner ) I have the soil stack & water feeds running up one corner of the kitchen wall (boxed in 22cm by 35cm -but can be changed a bit) If I allow for this in base units...

This is the one I have - 'borrowed' pic from Halfords web site (hope that isn't naughty?)

Peter 1919 - they are well thought of in the cycling community - thought to be safer than the ones with straps (haven't heard any stories of people losing them -but have about ones with straps but then these are still less common...) ...also it is easier to load/unload (especially for dropped...

You use the screw to tighten this clamp to the tow bar ball - you need to tighten by hand whilst holding the rack horizontal and then finish it off with a spanner to the recommended torque (looked up - is 90Nm). This is the only thing holding it to the car (no wheels!) - it sticks out 3ft ish...

If I can't get it up to torque I will have to fit a bar on to get a bit more leverage...but torque wrench is 1.5 ft long - so hopefully won't be a problem!

Thank YOU!!! :D :D :D :D :D Crow's foot adapter is the name I was looking for !!!! Can find hundreds of them now ...and all cheaper than the one I could see!!!! Jackrae I will look up the right torque before I use it ... Currently using a slightly better (more comfortable)...

I will have to go and look at them (no depth online I can see!) ... I was looking at DIY stores - but possible car places would be better... Also just found a torque handle with different spanner heads on e-bay - but not the size I need ... :( (and it looks flimsy) and one other place a...

I have a cycle rack that clamps onto the tow bar -it says it should be at a certain torque (90 - I think...need to double check). It comes with a cheap flat spanner -but I'm worried I'm not tightening it enough. My dad has just given me a torque wrench... The 'nut' for the cycle rack has a...

It is more than 75% ...all the wiring is done, the inverter and meter fitted, the rails are ready for the last panels ....etc Basically it took them 12hrs to do the job...(they did hit another snag so it took longer than anticipated) Fitting the panels will take them an hour or so...

I know....:? that's what I thought I didn't want to go into too much detail cos wanted unbiased opinion... Basically the job has been done by people (a company) I know well...are friends (although I know one partner much better than the other) ...I know where they live!!!! They have...

Contract says balance is due on day of completion ...

Have had solar panels fitted today - to get them done for the changes in FIT on Monday ... Due to have a 4 kw system but only 3kw worth of panels available in time ... so now have a 3kw system up and fitted ...with remaining panels due in max 4 weeks... What percentage retainer (if any)...

You obviously don't live with my children :wink: :D Crayon, Felt tip pen, pencil, paint, dried yoghurt/cereal/juice...the list is endless!

Sorry I should made that clear - I know what the instructions/guarantees say ..but after a year or so of faffing one day I tried mopping it and it was fine ..I guess I decided that a new easier to maintain floor would be preferable to one that I had to mess about with ... Same with the steam...
