Woah! Thanks Dean, some really good advice there. I've actually bagged it up already. It is well sealed in 3 bags and sealed with packing tape. Unfortunately the clothes have already been in contact with others. So I'd better wash the lot now. Yes all the work was done outside and the broken...

Oh ok. So no need for me to panic then? So far it's the only bit we've found in the house (touch wood). All the other doors were left uncovered. It's just all those scaremongers who tell you that it only takes one particle to get into your lungs and you get asbestosis, I sort of panicked...

:shock: So is it going to kill me?

I pulled a panel off an old panelled door yesterday and thought nothing of it at the time until my partner came along and said "is that asbestos?" I didn't realise it was used to panel over doors and it broke into bits as I was taking it off. So now I'm panicking :( I carried on with the job...

Thanks for the reply Micky. Unfortunately, I don't feel competent in having a look at all :lol: Boilers scare the bejebus out of me!

Hi, wonder if anyone can shed light on a problem. We have an icon-T combi boiler which we are guessing is approx 8 years old (the instructions were printed in 2000). About a week ago we noticed that our water would run cold if the heating was turned off. Is this a sign that the boiler is...

Ha ha, no there a whole website behind that balding head. This is why I've just revamped my website (uploading soon!). That first page kinda confuses some people. There are buttons down the side of his head and they take you the gallery etc. They are a little too subtle if you are not...

Hi Mike, sorry to hear about your radiators. I suppose it makes a difference who you buy off. My radiators don't have paint and seem to be holding up fine and really pump out the heat. Fingers crossed I didn't buy cheap goods (even if they were cheap!) only time will tell, eh? Thanks for...

Sorry I didn't reply to the previous ones from December, I haven't been on here for a while! scottishcruise: it cost approx £2,000 in total [bath, shower, sink, toilet, plumber, electrician, T&G and all the sundries - boy do those sundries add up!] Alison 556: Trust me ours was the...

Go to Google and type in "Tubby Shower & Basin Resurfacing Kit" It's a bit pricey, but it would be preferable to painting your sink.

:roll: Thanks for the answers! At least I know now that no-one is likely to be electrocuted!

Oh, right, so I am being overcautious :? I just assumed having sockets so close to a sink was a no no. So what's the fuss about sockets in bathrooms then?

I mean call me over cautious but is putting a power point under a sink unit a totally stupid idea? We've just had a new kitchen installed where I work. I looked under the sink unit (which incidentally has already blocked and leaked once already) and I saw that there is a double socket...

OH has just commented that it could be the response time on your TV? It needs to be 8ms (milliseconds) or below.

Orange or Lime, works just as well :wink:

Check your settings on Sky box. Sometimes it looks better in RGB not composite. We just got one and did a bit of fiddling in the Virgin settings to get it right. (why does that sound rude?) Apparently you do get a bit of blurr which is the norm for LCD's.

Has anyone tried Marmite and Marmalade on toast? It's a great combo :)

Noseall the room is on the first floor so I can't see how pipes would affect it. Joe-90 I wondered that too but here is no damage to the outside wall. Wouldn't the damage show there too if the gutter was was spilling out water? How would it get between the cavity? I'm not dismissing this...

Could someone shed a bit of light on this problem please and hopefully offer a solution. We seem to have a damp problem on an upstairs wall and we can't figure out why. Here is the current condition of the wall - You can see the damp seeping out to the sides and the blistering to the...

Thanks for all the advice. I've popped the plug onto the shortened cable - thanks for that Lucy :x (that's the name of the dog!) I actually used them today, they might've already been damaged then but I didn't notice :shock:
