Lucid - Like the stereo comment I'm a very long ago x service /workshop engineer (digital as opposed to analogue but of course they merged at times) Some fault reports and 'fixes' certainly brought a smile.. ericmark thanks for comments. The above in part answers why not just buy a tablet etc...

Thanks. If we choose to tile do we need a waterproofer etc underneath? Or will the tiles themselves deal with condensation?

I posted a query on tiling. Posted here as I think its now a building issue. From a request for photo lifted lino (on part of the floor) and noticed a bit damp or condensation (seemingly went quickly since lifting lino) . We had extension circa 18 months ago last year and all seemed fine). The...

Thank you. External level to DPC is fine. We mounted kitchen unit legs on wood to allow for laminate so room for tiles. It's coming from old wall. It's just a skim over the old dpc cavity (270) wall. Think I have 3 choices: 1) some kind of brush on waterproofer before tiling. 2) remove 1 brick...

Thanks to both Sorry for delay. Does this photo help.

The original kitchen has concrete floor with no insulation or membrane. The kitchen extension floor is also concrete but this has membrane and insulation. Glad you asked for photo as lifted lino and where old wall was is damp or condensation? Whatcan I do there? Will try to download photo.

Thanks for the comprehensive reply. We are at the point of needing a new TV (ours went bust so loaning from family). Doubt if we will have wifi or cable etc so just a set top box which also needs replacing (increasingly less chioce). So will digest your comments. Ray

Thanks for the link. The aim is to hear the TV without it blasting out to the annoyance of others. Although even then yes it's the quality that's the issue. As soon as I plug in ear phones etc the sound is killed from the TV which of course might be the same with a sound bar? At present I can...

Hearing issues. I'm thinking connect sound bar to TV and run a speaker from that? Any thoughts. Thanks Ray

Have new but old 5" screen TV. I need a digital to uhf convertor. I'm quite happy to build a circuit if need be. I'm aware I can buy a digital TV so this if for interest and maybe reignite my electronic days. Thanks Ray

Floor tiling across kitchen concrete floor ext join. I understand there can be different floor movement as one has insulation and membrane and the other nothing. I'm having different advice. 1) Tile across join or 2) tile away from join and seal with flexible filler. So what is best. Thanks Ray

Thank you. I now have something to move forward with. I take the point on tge as the bottom edge (above window) was sealed so any water getting behind from above had nowhere to go - at that tge there is more sealant than wood -:)

Thanks for suggestion. We're looking to keep it the same style which is circa 6 by 1 inch wood. I'm told you can get tantalised smooth but local wood mills don't have any.

Apex of bungalow has wood on front in a typical decorative design of a -A frame with angled pieces. I can get plastic to replace but would prefer smoooth wood so I can paint it but cant sse standard softwood lasting very long. Any thoughts please. Thanks Ray

Zanussi Oven model ZOP37901XK Oven randomly turns itself On? Tapped all around switches so not vibration? Any thoughts please. Thanks Ray.

Would low density blocks give as good sound insulation as 100mm stud and such as loft insulation? Opening on hard floor is 2.4 by 1.2 mtrs between Lounge and bedroom

Thanks, chose compact for where its going as we need narrow depth of 295. It was that or Baxi Eco Blue or Blue plus. The 10 years parts and labour doesn't cover service anyways. We think a parts and labour contract is around £150 a year so that's the £800 but we have the freedom to shop around...

Does that apply to the 10 from approved dealer?

Got quotes in for Worcester 32CDi Compact plus rads etc. Quotes with 10 year warranty is far higher than the 5 years as I would expect but just how much is that extra 5 years worth? I'm tempted to go for 5 years a saving of at least £800

Thanks
