Excellent thanks. Yeah the reveal is plastered so I need to get it as tidy as possible. Is it better to leave ears or is it perfectly normal to just have a straight cut at either end?

The window I need to fit a window board in has unequal adjacent walls and the wall in which the window (or the window itself) isn't straight either so both ends of the reveal are slightly different depths. The long cut I'm not too bothered about. I can just measure in from the curve on the...

Anyone know where a good source for schematic diagrams are for lawnmowers, or more specifically a Victa Mulchmaster 560? Just picked one up this morning and the kill handle rattled itself off in the trailer on the way back up and I can't figure out how to reconnect the kill cable to the...

Evening all, Just wondered if anyone knows if you can get some kind of guard or seat for sprung downlights. The ones my electrician put in our kitchen have to be removed from the ceiling to change the bulbs and I'm just worried that over time, taking them out and putting them back in every...

Ok, point taken. I'll just have to paint around the units. The wife's working from home today anyway, so I've told her to leave all the windows and doors open in the kitchen so hopefully it should have dried a bit more by the time I get home but I think I'd prefer not to have to paint it...

Crikey, that sounds messy!

I know this has probably been gone over again and again, but we're in a desperate rush to get our plaster (which has been done today) painted before our kitchen is fitted at the weekend. Is there anything I can put on the fresh stuff to allow me to paint it over the next couple of days...

Does anyone know if you can get solar powered pumps for water features? We have quite old ornamental features in our rose garden and one pond has a Aquarius style water feature in the middle with the pond which has a pipe to an access point in the path around the pond but there is no pump or...

Is there any way to test the ballast out of a light fitting to see if it is defective or just not working at all without fitting it into a light fitting? I seem to have a few ballast reaching the end of their lifespans as the same type are just stopping working within weeks of each other but...

Does C&G 2377 cover all the areas I would need or is there another C&G course code I should be looking at in addition to this one?

Can anyone tell me which heater is best to go for? We're looking at the options of Central Heating linked or Electric only. Both equally convenient to have installed (I think) so I just want to know which is most economic. I am basing that on the assumption that an electric unit can be...

Ok, thanks for the good advice chaps. Think I might look at the C&G courses locally and see what I can pull up. I know it's for work, but if at any point I move on, I think the C&G is more likely to be a recognised qualification since it's been around a while so out of the two... Also good...

Afternoon all, The boss has asked me if I could look into PAT tester training. I've obviously found dozens of websites and organisations offering PAT tester training, all claiming that their courses are the most comprehensive compared to others and to be honest, on a whole it gets to feeling...

Ok, I've found a website that sells the fuses but how am I supposed to know whether it's a quick blow, antisurge or a delayed burnout? Unfortunately the only 32mA 5x20mm fuses I can find are a different manufacturer so I can't find any info on the one I've got to tell me which.

I'd say you're better off putting the access as close to the top as possible. The next manhole downstream would cover you for the other end of it. If there's a problem inside the property it just makes it a little easier to get at if you're closer to it and 17m from one manhole to the next...

Muggles is right I'm afraid.

[/url] Really? Is that considered offensive? :?

There is a chance the soil vent could be blocked just beyond where the problem toilet connects in to it. Sometimes if waste is being obstructed or slowed just after the u-bend, it can gather at junctions and slowly over time form a blockage in the surrounding pipework. I would have done a...

It's your only solution really other than a chamber pot as previously suggested, or build uowards instead of outwards.... In order to be effectively pumped, the waste needs to be broken down with a macerator before it can be pumped away, and saniflo are the market leaders in these type of...

I see your point. They seem to go up from 100mA. Seems odd! It definitely does however say T32mA, so at least I know it's a delayed burnout rather than fast burnout, but can I find 32mA? As for underlying issues, we have got loads of problems with the leisure plant, but the contractors...
