Looks good, but then doesn't everything they market in shopping channel style? Anyone claim to have used one of these? Any builders admit to using them?

I can take a picture if needed, but it's quite hard to see the parts. On top of the syphon is and the system is pretty much as illustrated here

If you go to a site like screwfix direct they have BTU values for each radiator they sell. http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/cat.jsp?cId=101444&ts=66066 As for what width and height, that's probably personal preference assuming it has a sufficient BTU.

With summer arriving I fancy having a go at building a BBQ with some bricks I have left over in the garden. I've not done it before so without doubt my initial efforts will be poor. How would you suggest I practice? I was thinking of mixing sand and water to have a few attempts at laying...

Excuse my lack of correct terminology here, but I have a toilet that does not flush correctly. Sometimes you get a proper flush, other times you get an attempt but not enough water flows into the pan to cause a full flush. Subsequent flushes (after a failure) just result in small amounts of...

This is insulation in addition to a layer of plasterboard and wool? I see, so a 5m lintel would provide a solid base for building another story. This sounds a more economical way considering it's 5m less brick/block to construct. Is there any advantage in rebuilding that one edge of the...

I am considering building an extension at the rear of my house, but I have concerns attaching it to the single skinned garage wall because it doesn't have decent foundations. Although the plan is for a single story extension I would like it to be able to support two stories incase it's...

The building will only be connected to mains electricity and not able to function as a separate unit. I am in the process of a planning application at the moment, so I keep my fingers crossed :( The problem is that the new room is to house a pool table and must have a width of 5m. The...

Depends what you mean by best. I agree that the PS3 has a huge price tag and I for one will be waiting for it to drop considerably before I think about getting one. In theory it does have slightly better hardware than the 360, which if coded for correctly, could make more realistic games...

Below is my attempt at an ascii plan! Scale is not quite right, but layout is ok. I'd like to build an extension (not joining existing building) in the top right corner of my garden, but I'm unsure whether to come inside my existing boundary fences (all 2m high) and build a double skin wall...

A shameless plug eh :P I'll give it a try and let you know how my reading goes, thanks!

I am contemplating building a 5m x 6.5m sloped roof extension to house a 'pool room' (balls, not water!). I have limited building experience, but am considering tackling some of the tasks myself and employing tradesmen on a day rate for things like bricking up. This is partly a cost saving...
