    Clay soil pipe - need to add waste, options?

    thanks for the info! Hugh Jaleak I think that is exactly what I'm after! Just for info it isn't a crack - just a massive cob web! If I use an angle grinder to make the cut what is the risk of cracking the pipe? Also would it be best to use a diamond disc?

When we first moved into the house (end of 2006) we had southern electric put in a new consumer unit as the one before was really old with fuse wire! We also...

    Low voltage light problem.

    hi, I've had the same problem and it sounds like I've got the same light - 10 x 10w bulbs.
