I'm not a single parent but once I'm at home kids like to be around me especially my son. Anyway yesterday I decided to get on with it as soon as I got home. Had to deal with the kids, my son wanting the patio cleaner, running around with the brush, dirty muddy shoes etc.. but at least the old...

My 4 years old son thinks he can do it better than me. Hahaha.........didn't know you were an old grumpy ....... :lol:

Thanks for your replies gents. "The Victorian" he's an oldman and I didn't want to upset him. "skhudy" I am using Karcher "T400" patio cleaner. Blocks are so discoloured you can't tell which one's black and which one's red and lots of moss and debris in between the blocks so taking it all out...

I'm busy cleaning my paving blocks driveway these days. I've 2 young kids (almost 4 and 2 years old) and they don't let me work while they're awake so I'm doing this once they go to bed which is around 8pm. Last night at 9:30 one of the neighbours came and complained about the noise of my...

Yes I paid and I didn't ask my neighbour for anything. Luckily it didn't cost as much as I thought it would!

Just to update, got the job done and neighbour is happy :-)

JohnD I'm completely with you. I can't see why my insurance would pay out for work which isn't affecting my property. I'll have to dig a trench which should go below his DPC level. I can drain the water to the front of his house which would go in his front driveway (concrete) and then would...

Thanks for all your replies so far gents! rjm2k thanks a lot for digging out my old thread with the pic. I was thinking of uploading a pic now to give you guys a better idea of what's involved. It looks like my house was built after his. I've bought this house only 3 years ago but it was built...

I hope someone can get me in the right direction about this trivial matter which I'm currently facing. My next door neighbour visited me on the weekend and told me about the damp problem in his house. He explained it was being caused by my driveway. Our houses weren't built at the same time so...

No its definitely not the pipes expanding with the heat. Another weird thing which I've noticed. If I reduce the central heating temperature to around 50 Celsius then there's no noise at all when boiler kicks in to warm up the water. However water is not as hot as it is when boiler central...

Morning guys, thanks for your input. I was thinking it could be air in the system so I'm glad you experts know what's going on. My boiler is still under warranty so shall I call Vaillant to fix this problem or my plumber?

I've a really strange problem with my boiler and I hope someone can advise what can I do to rectify this. I've got a system boiler Vaillant ecoTec Plus 630. I've got hot water set on the timer to come on 3 times a day. In the morning when boiler kicks in at 6am after about few minutes, banging...

If it wasn't for the invaluable advise in this thread I would had made the same mistake. Visonic feels like a quality product and best of all now I can add more PIRs, door/windows sensors and a lot of other accessories as and when I can afford to do that. Let's hope one of the expert would...

Just to provide an update. Alarm was fitted on Saturday. Fitter did a great job. I just can't fault it. Everything is working as expected. E999 I can't thank you enough for all your help. Without your help I probably would had ended up buying a Response Globalguard and then would had regretted...

E999 you've got me worried now. :? I'll see how I feel when he'll start work tomorrow. If I won't feel comfortable with what he's doing, I'll tell him to leave!

I got the kit yesterday. Asked the seller if it was a UK product and he confirmed it is. Also all the manuals are in English so I'm assuming its for UK market? Shop owner recommended a local installer so I called him and he came round. Negotiated the quotation to £100 (fitting the kit + 1 extra...

Thanks for your quick reply. I'm assuming quick start installation which you've recommended would come with the kit? Apart from asking the seller, is there another way of confirming its a UK product?

I think I'm all set for "PowerMax Complete" kit then. Found a local seller (only a mile from my house) who has agreed to match the price. As I'm not very confident with this, I thought it'll be best to buy it from a seller local to me. I've also found "PowerMaxComplete" Installer guide. Going to...

Thanks once again. Sorry I realised my mistake once I had finished typing. I meant "Powermax". I'll be ordering it later today. What are the main differences between Powermax Complete and Express? I've tried going through the comparison chat on visonic website but they both look the same to me...

E999 I can't thank you enough! Its guys like you who keep these forums alive and meaningful to people like me! THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I think I'll order the Powermaster kit today. Would I need to play with the electrics? I mean is the control panel a standard plug in one? With regards to...
