:( and where do i apply this wonderful piece of theory to. Upside down P/S, sideways, inverted. What part of pipe. Assuming it's the pan it's referring to. May sound like a silly question and I'm prepared for clever answers, but, I'm not thick and can't find anything on the web or here to...

Hi all Well, what is the difference? Any pics/links would be much appreciated in helping explain this (if needed). Cheers

Thanks for all your advice... TicklyT, that part on screwfix looks useful - i'll check the movement and type of pipe in use at the moment. The cistern is bottom fed so any leftover water is likely to get me wet although i'll leave the taps open anyhow. Or could I not push the ball valve...

Hi all I have a downstairs cloakroom with the rising main supplying the toilet cistern. I have a stop cock in the kitchen under the sink but would like to have some kind of stop valve or stop cock on the pipe supplying the toilets cistern (enabling me to stop the flow to the downstairs toilet...

Excellent, thanks for your help. All working fine.

Thats what I thought. Cheers BigJon. I can understand the sealed plug being marked to advise what size fuse should be used with the TV. But the spare plug could be used for anything - so is the 13A the max rating the plug can handle?

Hi I have a TV with a plug that is hard wired in. I need to remove the plug to feed the cable through a small hole. Now, the plug on the TV is marked 5A 250V. I've found another old plug marked 13A 250V. If i use the old plug on the TV with a 5A fuse would everything be ok? Cheers in advance

Cheers for the reply Jason It's a Laura Ashley paint (I hate these flashy poncy paints but there was no other brand with the same colour - groan). They only had Matt in the shop but at £20 a pot I don't really want to have to buy another pot of silk even if I do find it. How much would the...

Hi I was wondering if there is any product that you can paint on top of Matt to give it a Silk effect? I have painted a room using Matt as that particular colour not have a Silk alternative. Now I would prefer a Silk finish as the Matt becomes too grubby too quickly - I was thinking on...

They look pretty big! I've only got gated access at the back of my house. Do they come in smaller types - maybe that can be operated by hand (similar size to pneumatic drill)?

Update: Used a bow saw to chop them down to stumps of approx. 3ft - pretty easy going - 12 trees in 4 hours. Will attempt to uproot one of them on my own and if it's a complete nightmare then I'll hire someone to come in with the stump grinder I think. ajsdoc, how much did your fella...

Regarding using them as a fence...they are in a pretty bad way - not like how they look in the photo. That photo was prior to the seller chopping the tops off. Since then they look pretty poor (brown with no hitting them). Besides, the droppings from the tree make any soil underneath useless for...

Thanks guys. OK, I'm fine with getting them down now. But any ideas on uprooting them? :?

I knew I forgot to mention something. Yes, trunks are on average 6 inches thick. A Bow saw eh? I can use one of them on my own? (visions of those huge 2-man bow saws)

Hi all I need a bit of advice in the tree-felling department. There are 10 Conifers (I think thats what they are) running the length of my garden which I would like to replace with a small fence to allow more sunlight into my garden. I've just moved in and it looks like the trees were...

Tried Brewers and their wallpaper section links to www.wallpaperdirect.co.uk but I will check out the store itself. I can't seem to find anything on Hurst - do you have a site or address?? Cheers

Google was my first point of call. I havent got time to list all the sites I tried in google but suffice to say they were either not located in the UK or were so arty farty that rolls were costing over £100. I'm basically after some suggestions of any shops I've missed that have a large...

Hi I wondered if anyone can suggest some shops (online or high street) that well wallpaper. I've tried the following but am still finding it difficult to find the right wallpaper for my room.... B&Q Homebase Focus John Lewis Debenhams Laura Ashley Farrow & Ball...

Would 35W bulbs be particularly dim? Are they comparable to normal incandescent light bulbs with regards to wattage? For example where I am to replace 1 60W incandescant bulb with 4 x 35W halogen spotlight bulbs will I end up with nearly double as much light - trying not to be ignorant here...

Sorry, I forgot to mention, its 2 lots of these I am fitting... http://www.nextdaylighting.com/ItmDtls.asp?ItmCd=125924 Have since found out the dimmer is in fax 250W max per switch, this needs to be halved as mentioned in the instructions (small print). So I'm looking at 125W to cover 4...
