Thanks for all your replies. The other puzzling thing about the water level is that it is 2-3" below the top of the overflow pipe. So unless it's cracked as John suggested I would expect it to be very near the top after I see the water outside. Slight aside - I was looking on the net at...

Hi John Thanks for your quick reply. The CH expansion tank was removed when new boiler fitted a couple of years ago. I'll check for cracks at top of stand pipe. Jim

Hi Returned recently from a week on holiday and decking under the CWST overflow was quite wet. After normal water usage all was ok until a couple of times a little water evident first thing in the morning. I've searched the forums and I am going to replace the ball valve. However...

Hi Taz777 (we like the sevens, don't we :D ) My deck was starting to look grubby so I did a search on cleaning methods and found that Oxygen Bleach could be the way to go. I did a fairly gentle power wash clean to the deck but honestly it did not do much. So I bought some Sodium...

I removed the screws completely and got the oven out and sure enough it has a bayonet connector. If I remove the bayonet do I have to get the pipe sealed off? Jim

My wife has lost faith in our Candy built in gas oven and would like an Electric replacement. I have loosened four screws at the front of the oven but it does not seem loose enough to remove. Can anyone advise on how to remove it, please? IIRC the gas oven is connected via a bayonet...

Received reply from tomps (see post 2) Same suggestion as gregers. you could use silicone for an impression :) it will require thixo to stop it running. it will also need some kind of support on the back to retain shape. Jim

Great tutorial and a real possibility. Thanks Alastair. Jim

Thanks gregers, good suggestion but not sure if the silicon will be rigid enough for a mould - I'll give it a try. Micky. fibreglass and ABS are totally different and dont "mix" - however it may be possible to use some other kid of mesh/material to follow your suggestion. Food for thought...

You sure?

Thanks I've sent an enquiry. Any other suggestions please in the meantime? Jim

My garden was really very waterlogged and I had to redesign the whole thing. First job was installing French drains but could not use a soakaway as soil is clay and water level is high. Dug a trench same as for a soakaway and cemented in two large tanks - first tank as filter feeding...

Hi again Took my caravan out of storage to find damp/rot in front end. Cause is two 6 inch splits in the abs front panel. I have removed all of the front wallboard and timber to access the spilts to rep[air with ABS patch welded using acetone. My problem is that the panel has a profile...

More good advice thank you. I'll follow your method and fortunately I do ha have a half slab to check things out on. Cheers Jim

Thanks for your clear reply, keefersUK. Failing any alternative suggestions I'll follow your method. Can you recommend a plasticiser? The finish on the slabs is textured - like a rough sandpaper, and I read on another topic that they are easily marked. Thanks again Jim

Anyone, please? Jim

Hello again Having just finished another deck with advice from members I am now moving on to the next phase - a small artificial lawn. I have laid paths on three sides using Marshalls Saxon Mocha, however I did not point them at the time. The main path has been down more than a year and...
