Many thanks for that. Although it was the safety of my wee children I was thinking about rather than my sensitive bits. Cheers.

I am installing a Towel Rail close to a door. As the door is swung open or shut, it passes within 17cm of the towel rail at its closest point. Is this contrary to any regulations. Is there a maximum distance that a towel rail or radiator should be positioned from a door. Many thanks.

I presume the installation is now complete. I am about to install a livin-style towel rail. Have you had any problems with Livin-Style. Thanks

Cheers TexMex you've carcked it for me. And that array stuff - why didn't I think of that - more for me play with. Cheers to you both.

I recorded a macro of the creation of a pivot table. The bit of code that does the business is shown below. ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Add(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:="'ALL'!R1C2:R1655C7").CreatePivotTable TableDestination:="", _ TableName:="PivotTable1" My problem...

In another post a topic strayed onto the subject of those junction boxes with the earth wires connected over the outside of the box and twisted together. I didn't want to barge in on that topic and thought I would open another. Regarding those old style junction boxes with their exposed...

Can you give me an example of "mans websites" - a search on mans plumbing is very interesting but does not bring up anything relevant to my needs.

I am about to do some building work (opening up an arch between two rooms) that requires I completely replan the layout of my down stairs. As I will have everything in a state of flux, I am thinking about putting down underfloor central heating. I already have some in my new kitchen on a...

I have two PCs exactly the same models - Compaq prosignia. I want to take the hard drive from one a install it in the spare bay of the other - to double my drive capacity. Can I do this? Is it just case of disconnecting and taking it out of one and then installing it in the other...

Thats why they have they are equipped with pin code locks. Just a thought.

Thanks Masona, Should the 3:1 sharp sand cement mix have any waterproofing additives added. If so, what type? Cheers

On my extension one wall's exterior side is the boundary to the neighbours property. I got the builder to render a skirting along that wall in order to make it match the rest of the neighbours exterior walls. However, he didn't do any rendering on the walls within my property. I think that...

Buildover agreement costs £350. From what I remember, so long as you abide by the specification given to you by Thames Water, the agreement should insure you against the risk you mention. Although the worrier in me tells me that there will be some small print get out clause for Thames Water...

When laying new turf how much topsoil should it be layed on. I ask because I am digging up my patio. Underneath is the usual sand, cement and rubble which is not good for laying turf on. How much topsoil is needed tells me how deep I have to dig (don't want to go deeper than I need to)...

Do you mean 16mm2 SWA running both outdoor and the 8 meters in the house up to the CU. I ask because within 2 meters of leaving the CU the cable will be running through a small apature in a wall under the floor boards. I already have a 6mm2 cooker cable and a 2.5 kitchen socket ring running...

No. The only cable in place at the moment is the 8 Meter 2.5 inside the house. This can easily be replaced. Do you suggest 4mm rather than 2.5mm.

Regulations for building over sewer and the siting of manhole's are particular to each local water authority. In Thames Water's case, you cannot site a manhole internally - it must be external. You can build your footings over a pipe but you will require particualr lintles. Building a...

There is going to be a double pole FCU in the house where the cable exits. There is an 8 meter 2.5 T&E run from the CU to the FCU. The SWA will cone out of the FCU and then exit the house.

Can anyone tell me what MCB I should be using for this set-up. The objective is to bring power to a shed. Starting at the house end, I have a spare MCB slot on the RCD side of my split load CU. I have an 8 meter run of 2.5 T&E to a switched FCU. From the FCU the 2.5 SWA exits the house...

The handles on my double glazed windows have broken - they turn but this does not unlock the windows. I have have removed the screws and the handles themselves are fine but the sockets into which they plug on the window itself is broken. Is it possible just to replace the window unit...
