I know this is a bit like distrubing a hornets nest but i need an answer I find that energy saving bulbs are useless. They are not bright enough and take too long to warm up. I dont want to sit in dim light until they get to maximum brightness and even then they are not bright enough (the...

Thiefs and solicitors, sometimes i cant tell the difference :evil:

HAHAHA The police do their job,no chance as half the time they cant be bothered and the other half they have their hands tied behind their backs. £13K for being taken to a police station with a sign saying 'thief' around his neck. HOW MUCH!!! Thats ridiculous. The system we have makes...

oops sorry mod, i was typing as you posted

You would call point 2 'abrasive', sorry but thats abusive and rude! Say that in a pub to a stranger and you will get thumped!!!! Quoting regs is a good idea, but you know what its like going through these type of things, it would be easier to point people in the right direction that to just...

This is typical of ban-all-sheds. He can be extremely unhelpful and sometimes downright rude. Instead of answering questions he usually says 'regulation this, do you know about this' when it would be nicer if he answered questions. Its like he expects you to know the answer, but if you knew...

As far as i understand it (and im not expert) but old artex DOES contain some asbestos The thing with asbestos is that are many varieties. Blue, brown etc The Asbestos is artex is the least harmful and the amount of it in artex is miniscule. So it is completely safe to remove old artex...

Good luck and i hope you get a good job done this time These things happen in life, just put it down to experience

As i said before, only ever get a plasterer (or any workman) that has been recommended to you. If possible, go and see some of his work, as this will reduce the chance of getting a bodged job.

Plastering is an art form, it must take ages to learn how to do it well. I have just had my extension plastered and i couldnt believe how much work goes into plastering. I used to think plasterers just put it up and smoothed it out, job done. They have to go over the area being plastered several...

The sub floor has been done for a week now. My damp meter, as expected, shows that the floor is still damp. My plasterer is free on monday, is it ok to lay the self levelling compound on the floor then or should i wait longer

The tile behind the toilet has been cut out too much. The middle bit should go down a bit more. Why not use some same colour grout to fill the gap (bit like making the tile longer) As for the velux window, I have just had a single story extension built with 4 velux windows. When it come to...

The other tank is not 75kg its 75g (gallons). The weight if the water will be about 340Kg plus the weight of the tank, filters rocks etc

Your are right, a quick search found some Cheers

A friend of mine needs to create something to make a work area. The work will consist of fixing electrical items involved in producing/making music and as such will be relatively clean (no cutting of wood or metal) He is thinking of kitchen worktops but say the standard 600m wide is too...

I turn the pump down from 3 to 2 and the noise stopped! The pump still works. Its a Grunfos. When i had a system similar to theirs my pump was on position 2, theirs was on 3. Both houses are terraced and similar sized As long as the system still keeps the house warm will it be ok to leave...

Is there no way i can put a heavy fish tank like mine on wood floor without causing problems. If i did put in on the wood floor what sort of problems can i expect. The wood floor needs to be glued which will cause problems if i ever want to move the tank and fill in the space the tank...

I dont know, i only popped round to have a look, didnt think of that. Will go back tomorrow and try that

A friend of mine asked me to pop round to their elderly parents as they have a wining noise coming from their central heating. The noise sounds like the neighbours are doing the hoovering (ie a quiet hum). It is coming from the airing cupboard. The pipes coming out of the pump are vibrating a...
