Hi board! I've seen on TV, in those 'Home Makeover' show's, a moulded unit that just pushed into place and was bedded in. To give you some idea, the bathroom was small, 6ft by 6ft. The place where the bath was - long wall with two small walls perpendicular to that - was gutted and then...

Yup, it's tank fed open system.

Yea, that's what i thought, about the freeze. What do you mean about finding the valves?

Hello Board! My wonderful girlfriend came home with some lovely new taps for the downstairs cloakroom sink. GREAT! Neither the hot or cold tap has a cut off valve that i can use to stop the water when taking the taps off. I was wondering if I can freeze the pipes with a hired machine...

The main problem i found when calling out an engineer is that: 1) you need an engineer to look at the boiler 2) you need a plumber to look at the rest 3) no one beleives you when you tell them what is happening (see my thread) 4) engineers want to come out and do EVERYTHING and book out a...

Hi there Johnny - I've got a gloworm 30FF and seem to have had the same symptoms as you have - read my older thread here: http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=21658&highlight= Does any of it sound familiar?

So i run CH, and the HW comes on, but i cannot have HW on it's own? Cause the CH will turn on? I can have: CH CH + HW But I can't have just HW So when the HW is programmed to come on in the day at 4pmish, the CH comes on aswell? I'm fairly confused here...

yes we do.

Hello. I'd like to fit a new programmer to our system. The one we currently have is a Danfoss CP15. It only allows two programs to be run in one day. That is, we do not seem to be able to control the HW and CH independantly of each other. I have used other timers for other systems and...

Hello Board, I have a front door with glass windows in it. We've noticed a massive draft coming 'through' it and upon closer inspection, it appears to be coming from a crack/gap all around the frame. It's between the frame and wall, rather than the door and frame. There is a gap that runs...

Hello board! I have a open pumped system with a gloworm ultimate 30FF boiler. HW storage tank, no immersion, motorised T system, Cold storage in the loft with a feeder tank. I've had a lot of problems - there's a thread called Temper Mental somewhere which basically ended in me getting the...

That is perfect! Thank you very much!

Yea, great. So, you don't know what they are called?

Hello board! I've put in a loft hatch but the supplied catch fails at the scariest of moments, releasing the hatch to swing just forehead-height as i walk under it. I want to install one of those gas piston type things - that are on the boot of a car. They make the whooshing noise as you...

Sh*t blenders! I've never installed one or used one, but the mere thought of it...... I can imagine a motor ceasing and causing a blade to fly off, through the casing - dowsing people in Macerated Sewage. Dad was up a ladder pulling the soil stack out of the wall for some DIY. It had...

These are well rare in the UK. Not many at all. If it doesn't look cosher, it's gonna be a botch job. Try looking at these guys - they know what they are talking about. http://www.thebbq.co.uk You could give them a call, they're looking into mains gas appliances right now, so you may...

OKAY, UPDATE FOR YOU ALL! I have managed to get an engineer to come and have a look. They quickly went through my notes etc. and took a look at the valve first of all. It's up the duff - something that most of the engineers said couldn't happen if it was half on/half off. So a new...

Yea, green lasers are cool. Blue ones are cooler. Derek is a dumbass. Sorry. He's shown his true colours since day dot. Not only did that HeyHo episode make him look like a **** but there are so many other instances of him being a buffoon - only more of an intelligent baffoon than the rest of...

Yea, gotta say, I used Postcrete for the first time the other day to over-engineer a post in the ground for a rotary airer. Didn't want to use it on anything more than that first time round. That stuff is great - really good. So worth the little bit extra you'll pay. No mixing, left over...

If you're just digging it over - then that's your problem. You need to dig the plant out of the ground, roots an' all. If they are slowly returning, this could be due to other plants dropping seeds in that patch, a natural thing to happen in a garden. Left unattended, they multiply. If...
