    more extraction needed

    I have a Vortice in-line fan fitted in the ceiling of a windowless flat. It's reasonably quiet and clears steam fast. The only thing I find - and I'd guess this will be a problem with all powerful fans - is that you need to clean fluff off the grille regularly to keep it at optimum performance.

    sign on van?

    Sometimes, I wish it would, John :lol:. I did wonder if I was going to need to explain this. No mystery, really. I own three properties, one in Bath and two in Hampshire.

    sign on van?

    Speaking as a customer, I feel that a van which advertises the tradesperson's name and telephone number sends out a positive message. Here in Bath city centre, it takes the place of the Yellow Pages. All you have to do is drive around looking for the vans outside houses being renovated. A...

    Damp , Damp and more damp

    You're welcome :). Your wife's point about turning the heat up is a good one. However, although warm air holds more moisture than cold, it doesn't hold it forever and once that saturation point is reached, it will condense somewhere if it can't get outside. Having said that, I used to have...

    Damp , Damp and more damp

    If you're running your dehumidifier 10 hours a day, what happens when it's switched off? There will be residual moisture in the air and people are still breathing. With six people in a house with double-glazing, that's a lot of moisture-laden air that cannot escape. You might be better off...

    Who has ignored someone?

    Could be because they want to express an opinion on the feature itself. Regarding psychology, it's study of the human mind, so regardless of how much or little you know about it, that is what you were talking about.

    Noise sink drain

    I know what you mean. Lots of sinks do this, though. I'm not a plumber but I do have one sink that does this and another that doesn't. The difference seems to be the type of fitting under the sink. One type allows water to bubble up into the sink part of the waste pipe - sometimes you can...

    Too lenient? What sentence do you think would have been appropriate?

    Black mold please help

    Double-glazing - particularly the kind without trickle-vents - stops moist air escaping and will make any condensation problem worse. The fact that you can't see condensation on your windows tricks some people into thinking the dg has somehow solved it. It hasn't. The moisture in the air...

    Who has ignored someone?

    I'm not sure everyone wants to get into psychology, pj. Maybe they get that stimulation in other areas of their lives and simply want to visit here for some help with their DIY. :)

    Which chocolates

    The only thing that worries me about Dentanurse is the question of hygiene. It might be fine in the short term but if you have bacteria trapped under it, you might find yourself looking at root canal treatment in the future.

    Who has ignored someone?

    I'd second that, John. If nothing else, the Ignore button is a powerful statement. This is after all a DIY forum, a place for people to exchange views and ask for advice. It clearly has other functions, too, though, and that's fine for the individuals involved. This way, everyone should be...
