Hi just need to confirm something. How do you convert square feet to square yards? cheers

Hi Do these devices like the Pest-Stop Pestclear 3000 Professional (for larger properties) actually work against rats/mice or is it a gimmick? Thanks

Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a try

Thinking about it I think you're right and I don't think i let the paper soak for long enough. I will allow it to soak for the full time from now on :oops: I use a wallpaper brush to brush the paper onto the wall and then a seam roller on the edges.

Hi All Any tips on how do get good joins when buting to peices of wallpaper. When I do it it and the apper is wet it looks perfect but when the paper has dried some times there is an overlap. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks

Hi My new washing machine only uses a cold water feed unlike my old one which used hot & cold feeds. I want to get rid of the hot water feed pipe but first I need to know if all washing machines now only need a cold water feed or does it vary from manufacturer to manufacturer? I don't...

thanks for the tips especially about letting any bits i repaste soak 8)

Hi I wallpapered a room yesterday and it all looked good. This morning a few of the edges had peeled off so I had to repaste them and stick them down but they don't fit as good as they did originally. what did i do wrong?why did the edges peel? Thanks

I managed to get the manual ;) If anyone here ever need it I can email it to them.

Hi I tried the manufacturers site but it does not have the engineers manual on there. Offroader i do have the 4 digit engineers code. I need to change the entry/exit delay time & I need to see how to change a zone from a entry/exit zone to an instant alarm zone if that make sense!

Hi a bit of a longshot but I lost the engineers manual for my optima compact(the older 6 zone version not newer G3) house alarm and I need to change a few settings on it. Does anyone have the engineers manual in pdf format or similar? Thanks

it's not leaking so i will leave it :) Thanks

Hi while changing a few floor boards upstairs i found an old gas pipe(looks like it used to supply a gas fire) that has been capped off using a compression fitting. Is this safe or should it be capped of with a soldered end cap? Thanks

i did it with removing the heads in the end anyway just to make sure readings were correct. I put a bit of masking tape on the copper pipes and the temp readings are higher than before and more accurate all rads are now nice and warm THANKS ALL 8)

I'm going to recheck the temps as I think you may be correct about needing to put masking tape on the reflective pipe. Yes it is a combi boiler and I havn't touched any pump settings (if ther is one!) After spending a fair bit of time in the rooms with the colder rads last night decorating...

Hi All My mate has one of those laser digital temp readers so I borrowed it to test how well my CH is balanced. All my rads do get hot but i just though I would see if there was room for improvement. temps measured at pipe going to trv & pipe going to lockshield in degrees These were...

Thanks for the advice and I should have put there is 1 rad without a TRV but it was quicker to type all rads have trv's :oops:

Hi All I have a Vaillant boiler which has a temp control knob on which adjust from 1-9 and 11 rads which all have TRV's on which adjust from 1-5. I have no room stats or anything. Which is more economical:- set my boiler to max and let TRV's regulate room temp OR set my boiler temp as...

Thanks for the info. I must admit in the past i have used those cheapo brushes and it's amazing the difference using a quality brush makes. The quality brush also lasts a LOT longer!!
