    Shanty being built next to my property without planning permission? (with photos)

    My neighbour from the adjoining road informed me that they were going to erect a “shed” in their back garden by my fence. What is being built is not a shed but a brick built cavity filled building with services. It sits around 0.3m from my fence and is just over 2.8m tall. I asked the foreign...

    Thompson's one coat Patio seal 'pooling'

    Cresols are highly irritating to the skin and eyes of rabbits, rats, and mice. Short-term exposure to inhaled mixtures of cresol aerosol and vapor results in irritation of the respiratory tract, small hemorrhages in the lung, body weight reduction, degeneration of heart muscle, liver, kidney...

    Fence Leaning. Uncertain of Responsibility.

    Even if it is your fence you don’t have to fix or replace it.

    Someone is trying to start a war in the Ukraine, It's NOT Russia (edit: yes it is)

    Actually neither did you. Post after post that he had no intention of invading Ukraine.

    Someone is trying to start a war in the Ukraine, It's NOT Russia (edit: yes it is)

    Just found this thread and the Putin apologist here called The Humanitarian. After wading through the first 30 pages and jumping to the last did he ever apologise for getting it all so wrong?

    Lowering garden advice

    Don't undermine the foundations of the fence

    This is what a professional landscaping company did who put up this fence.

    Update. The home owner has had a moan so an extra gravel board has been added to the 2 offending panels. I hope the landscapers intend to backfill my flowerbed before they finish.

    This is what a professional landscaping company did who put up this fence.

    The neighbours was expecting a stepped fence with double gravel boards for my corner. I get the feeling they should have asked a few more questions. They will tackle the landscapers tomorrow when they return but from my side when standing back it looks like the fence is sinking into the...

    This is what a professional landscaping company did who put up this fence.

    So next door is getting a garden makeover which involves levelling their garden by removing earth. They now have a perfectly flat garden but on my side this is what I have. Job not finished yet but their back garden fence now offers them no privacy as one end only comes up to my shoulders...

    Should I get opentherm concidering the risks?

    The 4 bed detached house built in 1990 has dot and dab dry lined walls. The ground floor is in microbore while upstairs is in conventional piping. I note your comment about doing a proper repair to the pipe but this would be extremely hard to find so I would rather not rip the house apart...

    Should I get opentherm concidering the risks?

    The exiting boiler is a Worcester Greenstar 42CDI. It was installed on May 1st 2008 so will be 14 years old in the Spring. Through these forums I have learnt it is over powered for my cold tap flow rate which is 12 litres a minute. The planned boiler has a DHW flow rate of 13.1 per litre. The...

    Should I get opentherm concidering the risks?

    I am thinking about my next boiler, which will be an Ideal Vogue 32c Max and maybe Opentherm via Halo and whether I should get the Opentherm option and would it save any money and possibly cause a leak in my pressurised piping that has issues? At the moment my dumb thermostat on a Worcester...

    Sizing a boiler, any point in going bigger on a combi?

    Great answer and something I hadn’t considered. My understanding was that there was no point in getting a boiler much bigger than the the flow rate of the cold feed but by getting an oversized boiler allows that 11.8 l/m to output hotter water. The Ideal Vogue 32 has an output of 13.1 L/m...

    Sizing a boiler, any point in going bigger on a combi?

    Time filling a sink is important as is the shower. I will be downsizing the boiler as I have overkill at the moment. I presently have a 13 year old Worcester Bosch Greenstar 42CDI which seems far to big for a house with 11.8 litre per minute flow rate from the cold kitchen sink tap, which is...

    Sizing a boiler, any point in going bigger on a combi?

    Thanks for that. The house is 4 bedroom. I have calculated the rad output as 12Kw

    Sizing a boiler, any point in going bigger on a combi?

    I have measured my cold tap which has a flow rate of 11.8 litres a minute. The Baxi I am looking at comes with 12.2 Maximum DHW flow rate (Delta T @ 35'C rise) or 15 if I go for the bigger boiler. Is there any advantage in going for the higher capacity boiler as I assume it is not working...

    No more Logitech Harmony

    Well after a couple of days of tinkering I got my new Harmony Elite set up perfectly. In fact it ended up being almost identically set up as my original one. I can now see the perfect sense of using a hub to capture the remote control signals as the remote can now be pointed in any direction...

    No more Logitech Harmony

    Those with home theatres will often use a Logitech Harmony remote to control everything including smart home automation and lighting. I myself have been using the same remote control for around 10 years as it is the only way the family can get the TV, AV receiver and Sky Q to sinc up and then...

    One Cold Radiator and Pipe

    Radiators might need rebalancing. Do all the remaining radiators heat from cold at the same speed? You can check by just quickly going round and feeling the tops. If they don’t you can look at YouTube videos about how to balance. Also the pump might have a 3 speed control so you could turn it...
