OK brilliant, thanks again guys, I think I'll hire rather than buy, unless the difference is minimal. I've also melted a few bits with a normal hammer drill, that's why I was skeptical but I'll take your word and try with an SDS. Thanks again.

Thanks for your replies guys but I'm not sure that will do the trick. I'm talking about the stuff with the pebbles mixed in. I've looked on you tube and all the videos for concrete show just this grey, uniform, cement looking stuff. Our stuff is whiteish with actual stones embedded. Will an SDS...

Hi all, My mum lives in an ex council flat which has concrete (including the stones) interior walls. She wants to hang a wall bracket to hold a 32" TV\DVD combo. I've tried drilling into this type of wall before and given up after ruining 3 drill bits after about 1/2 inch progress. Can it...

Are there any more experiences with this, I was thinking of getting one. Can you use it on artex ceilings? Can you user normal Dulux paint?

It's a good idea to set your tank up a few weeks in advance, gravel, filter, heater and most importantly plants. This will get the chemical and oxygen levels settled before you put your fish in. If you're going to have any decent size of tank you'll need a good external filter. I personally...

Thanks Andy, spot on. New valve fitted and as quiet as a mouse. The old one looks a little worse for wear!

"Some" criminals DO come from romania, into this country (and others) and carry on their criminal ways. This is as much a fact as it is for most other countries. But, by saying "the latest scam by Romanians" is NOT saying ALL romanians are scammers, just like saying "the latest scam by...

Complertely ripped off by a "gardener" and a total bodge job by a plumber. Both jobs I had to re-do myself. Good work by a sparky though. 1/3 positive is not good enough IMO. If only they were all like the chaps on here. Bodgeitandleggit, I hope that's not true.

You're talking about (some) British tradesmen right? :lol: :lol: (NOT the superstars who selflessly help in this forum I hasten to add).

Another trick is for scumbag 1 to pretend they're drunk and start dancing with you, while scumbag 2 empties your pockets from behind and passes your hard earned stuff to scumbag 3 who sneaks off leaving scumbags 1 & 2 innocently empty handed. All over in a second. I think the world should bring...

As you say it's a new tap it will more than likely be a ceramic insert type. You'll need to identify the tap make/model to get the correct insert. The best option would be to contact the people who installed it and ask them. Failing that, get your mother to take a photo and do a google...

Does anyone else find that funny? :?

Hi All, Sorry in advance if this in not in the right place. I've got a mobile AC Unit which is needed in the boys room during the couple of hot weeks we have per year (they really do suffer). The problems are it's noisy, we have to have the window open for the vent (which defeats to object...

Thanks Mursal, There is a socket for the adapter but they didn't leave that in the car unfortunately and I doubt they'd send it to even if they still had it. Ebay's a good idea though. I was wondering if I could charge it up from the car battery, like a reverse jump, or from a normal...

Choose a wash cycle that requires conditioner. :roll:

Hi, I bought a car a couple of years ago from a main dealer, when I got it home I found a portable jump starter in the back which they had left in by accident. I phoned them to tell them I have it and said if I was in the area again I would bring it back - haven't been near since though...

Sorry, I forgot to mention we can stop it blowing by opening another cold tap elsewhere. Thanks Andy, By cold water tank do you mean the hot water header tank? I'll take your word and replace it but can you explain why it's making such a noise. It did seize up a couple of years ago, I had...

Hi, just recently, whenever we use the bathroom taps it sounds like someone is blowing a Viking horn! It's the cold water but it also blows with the hot tap as it refills the hw header tank. It also does it from the kitchen but not so bad. How do I fix this please, it must be driving the...
