Im looking at doing the same thing but only with the water from the bath. Ive researched a bit on the net for the kits available to do it and apparently it is not advisable to use water from the kitchen sink. The rule of thumb is, if its okay on your skin ie. shampoo and showergels then it...

I've read today that he doesn't really want to come back at all and that he is doing this to try to stir up trouble (yet again) by getting support from the British Muslim community. He hopes his supporters over here will kick up a stink about it on his behalf and make live very hard for the...

This works sometimes with older doors but a lot of newer doors have locks which are designed not to engage when the door is in the open position. This is to protect the locking mechanism from damage just in case someone decides to slam the door shut and bend the shoot bolts.

I agree with JohnD. They're not Fire Doors if they dont close automatically behind you

A blonde, wanting to earn some money, decided to hire herself out as a handyman-type and started canvassing a wealthy neighborhood. She went to the front door of the first house and asked the owner if he had any jobs for her to do. "Well, you can paint my porch. How much will you charge?"...

Grab the Yellow Pages and look for a local glazing company. Most companies don't charge to do a survey. They should be able to adjust the door mechanism and/or toe-and-heel the door accordingly and should also be able to give you a quote for the broken unit.

I cant help but feel sorry for the guy. He is/was in my opinion the greatest player on the planet and he has let himself down big time. There's no excuse for what he did but I hope for his sake that people remember him for his football. I've read somewhere that he was told to "go and f@*k...

It used to be normal practice to put the patterned glass on the inside of the double glazed unit (before Doc. L came about) but because the "K glass" or "Low E" ideally needs to be on the inside of the unit, the patterned glass is now put on the outside. This is the way I do it now and also...

"Tripleshield" is just another manufacturers name for their Low E glass. I think it is manufactured on the continent somewhere? We buy in a Low E glass known to us as "Silverstar" which is exactly the same thing. Low E glass does perform better than Pilkington K glass and actually has a U...

Things can start to get very complicated when you start to take in considerations such as air-bricks and wall/ceiling mounted electric fans. Im not 100% sure but I have heard that there are to be more changes to Doc. F of the building regs. Just to make life even more complicated. :D...

How big is the conservatory? 4K does seem a bit steep. We used to employ the services of a self employed bricky and we never paid over 2K for a base and dwarf wall. It may be a better option to get seperate quotes from a local bricky and then have the window company fit the conservatory...

Got myself an electric plug-in fan on a stand about 2 years ago in the summer sales for £10. It sits in the living room during the summer and in the loft during the winter. :D Still going strong and even cheaper than aircon

They are but I know people who've fitted their own windows with Low E glass etc but havent bothered with trickle vents. I suppose you cant expect the average DIY-er to know everything and Im suprised how many manufacturers still only offer trickle vents as an extra.

The simple answer is yes. Aluminium windows are gernerally a lot more expensive than UPVC and they are just as bulky as their UPVC counterpart. The main reason being because all windows nowadays have to comply with doc L of the Building regs for Heat Insulation and Aluminium windows need to...

I suppose but she was just a waitress. It's hardly like she was walking down the catwalk or anything looking glamorous. Besides, my missus knows I wouldn't dare look at another woman that way :D

What is it with women? I was sat in a chinese restuarant last week with my wench and I merely commented on how good the waitress seemed to be at her job. She was very polite, always smiling and we didn't have to wait long for drinks etc... The next thing I know the missus pipes up with...

I was getting similar phone calls not long back on a daily basis. I was told by a family member to register my mobile number with TPS (Telephone Preference Service) along with my land line and I haven't had any dodgy call calls since (Touch-wood) Apparently all of these companies have a list...

The digger driver told Police he went there to get his money but the householder says he bought a caravan off them last year and actually owed them £1000 in rent. He's a ***** maybe? :shock:

I dont know how much truth there is to that particular story but I know one thing - There aint no smoke without fire! Also if there WERE paedo's there, the local authorities are hardly ever to own up to it now are they? As soon as they see journalists sniffing around these people will be...
