Tell me about it. I'm actually considering returning it. Although my plumber friend has suggested connecting the inlet / outlet to top / bottom to see if it will improve the circulation. Can you suggest a similar looking rad with good output?

Those LED plinth lights are actually decking lights from B&Q. They come 10 in a box however you can run 20 from one transformer. The strange thing was the B&Q plinth lights where EXACTLY the same as the decking lights albeit in a different box. HOWEVER. The plinth lights were something...

The wiring is fine. I've got it all running back to a bit of bell wire which I just pushed into the holes of a socket in the cupboard upstairs. Just to be sure it was well earthed I wrapped the earth wire round the speed-fit under the sink. Well it is connected to the copper....

Which bit? The socket next to the radiator? If so, yes, its not live. Just need to fill it in.

Well, I thought it about time I did a little update. So the kitchen is nearly finished and we also manages to get the living room done before Christmas aswell which mean't it was out turn to put on Christmas dinner! No photo's of the living room yet, it needs some homely touches. Cant't...

It wasn't solid fuel before. I know it's not an efficient fire place and gives off minimal heat, the house is well insulated and the room has central heating so its not going to be used as a heat source, more of a feature. But I appreciate your concern as it could have been he case that we...

lol, at least it will still look nice

Opted for a contemporary gas fire in the end. http://www.grantandjones.co.uk/Contemp.html Top Right.

Hi All We recently had our backboiler removed from the living room, we've been looking at replacing it with a gas effect fire, but wondered if we could actually replace it with a real fire?

Hi Chris Thanks for that, Theres not a lot of pipe there it comes out 30mm before bending slightly and this bend continues to where its been hacked off. I like the idea of the fernco coupling. My other option was putting an end cap over it filled with silicone, this would then act as a...

No it goes into the soil stack, but it's glued in good a proper. I was wondering if I cut it back a bit to clean up the edge, could I use a compression cap on it but what size would i need?

Hi All When I took out the old kitchen I found an old copper waste pipe which went into the soil stack, it was for the old sink. Its been hacked about a bit and just had a bit of plastic and a load of electrical tape round it! Whats the best way to seal this off properly?

Hi there My dad wants to replace an old gate, which is no longer there. The gate is the 5 bar wooden type, at a span of 9' and about 4' - 4'.6" feet high. Im thinking that a 6" x 6" post buried to a depth of 2' in concrete would be sufficient?

yes, why?

Just a progress update on the new kitchen. The walls a ceiling have now been plastered (just some skimming to do over the cabled areas) The floor insulation is down as well as the underfloor heating and the tilling is being done tomorrow. Kitchen arrived today so im hoping to get it...

Hi All Can someone confirm that when laying floor tiles on underfloor heating mats, you first put down a layer of flexi adhesive onto the mat, wait for this to dry and then do another layer for the tile. i.e. you can't do it all at once?

Should go to Geneva for the day instead! £80 per 1000 at Duty Free

Had a couple of days off from the kitchen before getting back into it. Had some sad new this week. One of my much loved cats passed away on Sunday night which was a shock and not what you want when you move into a new home. Hoping to get some more done tomorrow before the kick off! Anyway...

There is wood burried in the concrete where the walls used to be, I did wonder if the concrete thats there is superficial. I'll get my drill out tomorrow and do some investigating.
