    Afghanistan

    These are people you are talking about. People with families, lives and values. Maybe not the values you want to impose on them, but values which they feel strongly about. You talk about value of a country (with millions of people in it); anyone with views like yours is most worthless...

    Is it ok to use a boss connector to attach kitchen / washing machine waste straight into a roof down pipe or it is best to run the individual pipes down to the gully. Also can a boiler condensate pipe be attached to another pipe once outside the house or does it need to go into the gully...

    Skylight

    It is a splayed opening, but it is positioned a bit higher. So the light is being blocked by the wall. Well we were tight on spaces. So I wanted as much on the other side to fit a sink. But yeah I now see what you mean.

    Skylight

    Thanks Woody. Would I need a SE report for opening of such a size or would a standard concrete lintel be ok with building regs? The opening will probably be 90cm.

    abu qatada told he can't appeal

    Exactly, But that would mean the government would have to charge him with a crime and provide proof. To me it just seems like another boogie man, to keep us distracted from the real issues.

    Skylight

    We got a skylight installed in our new kitchen, but the position of the skylight is such that the light from it would fall on the back of a wall. We installed is to bring some light into the new living / dinning room. I am now thinking of getting a hole knocked through this wall, so that light...

    condensation

    Drying wet washing around the house is possibly done, but I'm not sure (rented out property). But the condensation issue only started with the current residents, so I can't see an issue with the property it self. They admitted to not opening windows as it is cold.

    condensation

    The issue is cooking (using pressure cooker) and not opening the window. But I have now been assured that the window is now being opened daily. I just want to make the place look presentable.
