lol yeah i have no idea why they put that up there! I think its only a 25gallon tank. How complicated is it to replace with a 50gal or larger? The tanks are on screwfix and the like so getting one is easy enough, and thats small enough to go down the loft hatch without meeting an angle...

Managed to get into the loft for the first time today of our first house (only had keys 2 days!). I was expecting some great vat of water but instead found this rusting old thing! Glad we overbudgeted for the rest of the work so I have some left for a new tank now.

I think there are plenty of people paying 30 quid a month for cable or a BB conection that would argue why not take the 50p a month out of that! The problem is that some area are VERY well served while others have next to nothing. Virgin are testing 200Mbs in a couple of select areas while my...

i'm wondering if its an underground ploy to get discrimination payouts from companys that actualy wont give them a job. Lets be honest, these people are more than likly really nice under all the metal, but my granny doesnt want to be served in a shop or in a bank or whatever by a dude with more...

Its the Owl Monitor http://www.theowl.com/index.php?page=about-owl I actually got it from ebay but its already working. My parents and my brother have all seen how much it costs to run certain things and have announced that change is coming already! My brothers 5 year old AMD based...

my dad has just plugged up that energy monitor i ordered, at 10 at night it was reading 16p per hour at its default tariff of 10p. The only things on are the big fridge/freezer, the small fridge and small freezer upstairs, about 7 bulbs and 2 computers. Anything else is on standby. He is...

like my dad smuggling out football needles that they used to sellotape to the boxes? lol

I'm just hoping the ring is on 2.5mm and not 1.5mm, at least then that can be extended to inorporate other stray sockets. I was going to get a new radial run for the shower and get it off the same circuit as the tumble anyway but you are reading my mind about the rewire. Not been able to see...

managed to get this out of one of my images if you fancy a giggle. Sockets in the kitchen area spread over 4 different circuits (3,4,7,8 ). I think my spark is going to have fun.

My dads leccy is £130 and gas £50 in a 3 bed end terrace. Gas CH but leccy oven with 3 people living there :shock: I bought one of those owl monitors to keep an eye on mine but he's going to borrow it for a month first lol

I dont have an image of the outside cable at the moment but i'll post one up as soon as i can.

Thanks for that Chri5. It's just supported by its connection at either end so its not been done properly even though the span is only 1m. Thanks for your help!

Just bought a new house and found that the brick shed/outhouse has power going into it. However the cable isnt buried in the ground but instead comes out of the cupboard under the stairs where the CU is, heads outside, along the wall to the corner, then up the wall about 4ft (the ground floor is...

The oven is going to be installed where a current doorway is and i'd just like to check that the chain/stability bracket needs to go into a brick wall and CANNOT go into a stud wall. The floor is concrete.

if i recall correctly (i am looking to get cloud 9 also) you dont want the thickest stuff in the living room. while it'll feel soft the carpet will wear faster because it moves more. I'll probably be going for the medium in the livingroom/hall/stairs/landing and then the thick stuff for the...
