Although the common gold fish is indeed a carp I have never seen any of mine eat ants. Infact I have never seen any of my fish since the herons last visit.

A mixer might not be the best idea. Not enough pressure to get you wet if the tanks in the attic are just a few feet above the proposed height of your shower head. Fit an electric of the rising main.

Move house, I've had them in my garden for 16 years and I napalm every colony I find, they just come back. If you've just got a scout/ranger ant in your house make sure you kill it. If you've got a troop get traps from the supermarket, they work. Don't waste money on ant powder, its carp.

Get the mrs to buy washing up liquid with Aloe Vera in. Great for killing green + black fly (and keeps her hands lovley and soft)

Thanks Kev, its back to the plumbers merchants for me.

But is the male designed flat to bed against the washer And while you're here can I trust the thread + 2 Oseal tap fix and should I have used vaseline

I probably need the rest of what would be a standard 15mm olive compression at one end with the other having a flat male.

Sorry Kev no pic but the thread+Oseals are exact as your pic. The other end is just a compression nut fixed behind a brass body and rubber washer all which are an integral part of the flexi pipe assembly.

No, the flexi tails have a 3/8th - 10mm BSP with 2 Oseals at one end that screw directly into the mixer body. The other end has a compression nut with the internal rubber washer that I think needs a flat ended/surface 15mm male compression end.

Just about to connect to pipework and now realise that the compression nut end of the flexies which have an internal fitted rubber washer doesn't look right to tighten up on the existing sharp edged olive style compression fitting, looks like it would cut the rubber. Should there be a flat...

Easiest/cheapest way, if keeping loo in same place Original stack becomes internal (boxed in) after extension Suspended floor in new extention (allows access) bridging at exterior walls.

Vaseline? nyone tell me If not why not

thanx thermo, I did have patience. Every summer, on hot sunny days I've dug this out for about the last 6 years. It comes back about 20 sq meters overall

No Vaseline? seriously? the seals felt like they would rip out of their grooves when I tried them clean n dry. Would I be better using the old copper tails from old tap as I agree that these flexis do seem very weak

Hi, after fitting the tails I've noticed that part of the O seal/s have ruptured/squashed out of the ends. They seem ok (but loose) before I tighten with the spanner. Am I overtightening with the spanner. Should I just hand tighten. I did vaseline the seals and they go in smoothly. I...

I think plumbers merchants might have tanking washers that big (for water storage tanks) but I don't know how good looking they might be. More like an engineering size washer and then chrome/stainless would be an option.

thanx guys but I couldn't spray anything on this liverwort as it completely blankets the ground around all my plants and even grows up the stems on some. There is no way to apply weedkiller soley to the liverwort.

Is there a blanking cap that will fit on to the nut and olive left on the feed pipe after removing the 15mm compression joint body.

I identified this very weird plant in an ordinary dictionary after failing to find it in any gardening book. Apparently its almost prehistoric and a bit of a hermaphrodite as it seems to have all the repro bits in one. Unfortunately it spreads like wildfire and covers my soil borders...

Hi Fido I tried to test if the machine would use the hot water if the feed had been primed. But you've probably guessed, once the feed pipe is primed it is hot so I can't tell if the machine then goes on to draw hot water. So I think from all of this that new machines don't draw domestic...
