    pipe in floor

    Diyitall wrote Why ? Because you say so or because you have no faith in your soldering ?. lol :lol: You're talking nonsense man. Its common practise on new builds to bury the pipe in the weak mix of the sand and cement screed with armaflex insulation (or similar) as...

    Diana inquest

    Lets face it Diana like most women was rather partial to the pe@nis and at the end of the day gallopvanting around the world with other men and not staying loyal to her husband is what killed her in the end. Had she been home knitting or mending her hubby's socks she would probably still...

    Fixing a heavy basin to a brick wall

    darrenh wrote Its not that heavy then. I would use silicone and Fischer fixings. But its your choice at the end of the day. Unistrut would not be very aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

    Fixing a heavy basin to a brick wall

    No, of course I don't mean just stick it to the wall with some silicone. Use your loaf man. :roll: If you are really that concerned about it then unistrut the wall and use 10mm spring zebedees and threaded bar. What weight is this item ?.

    Fixing a heavy basin to a brick wall

    If you use silicone copiously (clear) and not mastic as suggested earlier then it will most likely hold without any rawlbolts. :roll: Have you ever tried prying a basin from the wall where someone has used this stuff ?. I have and believe me its not easy.

    I have a wind turbine, how should I heat my property,

    Their not all funded by the tax payer AFAIK. I had a work mate (Electrical Engineer) who installed one similar to the one in the image below. NIE gave him the incentive through a contract. That was a few years ago and I think its ended now. Perhaps NIE were government funded to provide...
