Masona, the link doesn't seem to come up with anything :cry:

Masona - I don't think the artificial grass will work :( Our dog will think it's the lawn and start piddling on it!

I have a covered passageway at the side of the house, that at the moment has ceramic floor tiles. These are lethal when wet! What I would like to do is to put either vinyl tiles or a vinyl flooring down on top of these tiles. I assume I would need to cover them with something or the shape of...

Thanks for the reply Masona :) Exactly what part of the mechanism has to be replaced - the whole thing or just the lock/handles? Can you suggest a supplier/website and rough cost involved in replacing the lock? Thanks

We had a new front uPVC door a while back. It has a Lockmaster lock with standard type handles on the indise and outside. What I don't like about it is that fact that when it is unlocked you can open it from the outside by just turning the handle. Is there a replacement lock/handle available...

Don't fix the skirting to the floor in any way, or it won't be able to expand/contract.

Mine was petrol - it looked like the same model that Mr.T used on Ground Force. I did consider waiting and letting my wife have a go to see if the vibration had the same effect on her as it does on Charlie Dimmock :)

I replaced my small lawn last year. I started off skimming the old lawn off by hand with a spade! - after about 20 minutes of back braking effort and having very little lawn actually removed I decided b****r it - hire a Titchmarsh special. I hired one from a localhire shop and collected it in...

I have been persuaded by my dear wife to replace the bathroom suite and shower, completely tile the bathroom walls and fit low voltage halogen spot lights (IP44 of course!). I have done a bit of plumbing (fitted kitchen sink and plumbed in dishwasher/washing machine) and tiling in the past...

I wouldn't have thought the hot water load would be that great - most dishwashers are cold fill only, and if you do most of your clothes washing at 40 deg.C then your washing machine will only use the cold fill too. So only hot water use would be baths, power shower (if not go an electric)...

The boiler fan is working fine, but now have trouble with the pilot. This seems to be a yearly problem with the pilot jet on this boiler. If the boiler stays off for a few months the jet seems to block up. There are 2 holes in the jet and they are tiny! Last time it took the plumber 20...

I found your fan on two websites, the site I used and another one as well: Boiler - Glowworm Spacesaver 40F Fan Part No. 208 382 (G.C. No. 313-071) http://www.keeptheheaton.com/acatalog/glowworm_fans.html (£96.34 + VAT)...

Hi Bonnie8, It must be a 'design feature' of the Glowworm boiler fans that they sieze up after a few years ;) I have a new fan for my boiler (£86 inc. vat), just need to find a kind Corgi man to fit it for me. It looks very simple to fit - but I'd rather get a Corgi man to do the job, just...

I'm looking to replace our bathroom suite and have seen suitably priced suites with steel and plastic baths. What are the pros and cons of steel against plastic baths?

Thanks Breezer - I have my eye on the transformers from Screwfix. They say they are dimmer compatible. Screwfix also do IP44 rated downlights :)

Another quick question - do you put the dimmer on the 12V side or the incoming 230V side of the transformer?

Thanks for the reply COG - it wasn't the plumber who diagnosed the fan, it was me (although he confirmed my diagnoses). I've had trouble with the fan sticking before, usually giving ot a little nudger would be enough to kick-start it, but this year it's really seized solid. When the boiler tries...

Thanks Scoby - a dimmer sounds cool. Save me putting too many lights in and getting a solarium instead of a bathroom ;) I did wonder if there was someplace on the net that gave the equiv. Candela value for various bulb types so I could make an assesment on the number of spots required. But if...

I'm thinking of replacing the main light in our bathroom with a number of low voltage spot lights flush mounted in the ceiling. At the moment I have a single energy saving bulb (equal. to 40W) and was wondering how many low valtage spot lights I will need to install to give an equal amount of light?
