Have you thought to have a look at the boilers setting? A dial there goes from 0 to 6, 2 is ample for the summer and 4 for the winter. I suspect yours will be set at 2

I think he means he wants to know how to test the rcd to ensure it is operating properly. If that is the case, simply press the 'test' button.

I never said you did masona 8)

Even though, if everyone helped themselves to half a ton of pebbles there would be no pebble beaches left in the u.k for our future generations to enjoy, let alone contributing the the coastal errosion rate :!:

Ah, that expalains it perfectly, Thanks for all your help

Thats it Scoby, nice one! :)

Ok the ant-freeze has been written off. A frost stat :?: Please do tell me more about that breezer. Also am I right in thinking that I read somewhere that salted water cannot freeze? Thanks

There is a plant on the market registered 'Scardy Cat' that claims to have a stench that cats detest and will not go near. It is called Coleus Canina and I seen it in the Thompson & Morgan catalouge. I have looked on their website but it is not on, probably because the advert in the catalouge...

I may get shot down in flames for this, but here goes. I have a pebble feature built into the ground with a 500 litre p/h pump. Rather than having to remove the pump throughout the winter could I get away with adding a touch of anti-freeze to the water so I could still use it. The only answer...

I searched for that post too but cannot find it either. My 'view your posts' only goes back as far a Jan 03. Annoying me somewhat now, the post was started by guest BTW

:o Ooh err that's confimed it then. He must be a unique breed! probably a British American! :lol: . Another thing about your 'anonymousity' Breezer, how come you helped me with my external downlights on Dec 02 and you only registered in Jan 03!!! Perhaps after a thousand posts it sends the...

We are probably talking to ourselves anyhow as I have yet to witness a reply from an American after taking the trouble to help them with thier query. No doubt geohoule will be here tonight to make me look real daft! :oops:

Wish I knew that a year ago...I was looking for 10' mdf and the max I could find was 8' and ended up joining it up at one end :evil:

When I was in the States I bought a plastic imitation stone which on the underside had a sliding door, like a battery compartment for keeping a key in. I seen loads of different types of outdoor key holders, magnetic backing etc. I got my one from the Home Depot garden centre. I have never...

Well I already told her she was wrong after masona's first reply and shown her his post (evidence) and the matter may be considered closed now. I will try to remember to mention that she might have been right after all. :wink: I am going to mark out all the approximate (all 92 of them!)...

That's an excellent reference guide masona, it answered all the other things I was unsure about as well, thanks! :D

The missus seems to think that when tiling you have to start from the centre of the floor in order for it to remain 'even'. I was intending starting at the corner and work my way across. What is the proper way to do it? She's even laid a small wager on her answer being the right one! :o

Screed, concrete...Im not sure. The whole downstairs has no floorboards just concrete or is it screed? :? Dont think Ill bother with the dpv stuff after all, it only came to my attention after reading the label of the tile putty that said you must use it beforehand.

The B&Q near you is probably only a supercentre which won't have half the stuff that a warehouse has

And always use no larger than a 1" brush for the critical cutting in parts. I always take the masking off within 5 minutes of cutting in and then you are left with the option of wipeing any errors away with a rag. You are obviously assuming that seen as the masking is there you can fly through...
