    Run submerged waterfall pump without water, what will happen

    Loft insulation and chipboard flooring (with pics)

    In picture three it does look like the ceiling joists are supported by the purlins. I would be inclined to use joist hangers on the perlins to support a secondry floor level if adding more timber. Salem.

    Am I missing something, what is stopping the roof structure from spreading outwards. Did you remove any timberwork yourself or was this done by your builder. What do you intend to use the loft space for?

    3Com ADSL Wireless Network (Wandering)

    Hi Deluks, and thanks for your reply. Yes, we are using the 3Com Connect Utility. On the "Site Survey" page it lists several Networks in the area, but it ignores all the secure ones and keeps trying to connect to the open one. Our network in set as the primary setup, but there is no option...

    slow draining shower water

    This is something we have to do every few months, or stop the Mrs & Daughter having showers. (not a nice thought) The hair gets snagged within the pipework and over time it builds up and blocks the flow. The product we found most effective is Mr Muscle foamer, which is left over night. But there...

    We had the same prob some time ago, so I contacted the IEE for info. What we did was use an IP rated fused connection unit rather than a standard one, not pretty but better all round, and local isolation was via pull switch, and a 30mA RCD was fitted. Salem.
