Thanks for the advice chaps, and thanks for the gardenlaw link, I'll peruse it

I want to puit a hedge around the garden (probably coniferous) and some of this will be positioned in front of a useless old "waney lap" type fence. When the trees grow out will the presence of this fence curb the growth in that direction or will they simply grow through it? I don't plan...

Browning is good for going onto bricks

Thank you very much for this information

Sorry it's a Vokera Syntesi 35kW, condensing combi.

I'm planning to build a cabinet/cupboard round the boiler. Are there any guidelines regarding ventilation, air admittance etc?

"There's snow business like show business" Nice pics but the media/news lot have got right on my tits all bloody day on and on - "it's snowing". So what? It's winter? Light a fire and keep warm. What do they think people did 50 years ago? I wonder if this little "flurry" will shut the...

Thanks Softus. I've not heard many good reviews of Vista, and therefore was cautious about buying a new machine for this reason. I've been scouring Ebay and there are some decent spec Dells going for the £150-180 range.

I am after a relatively low price laptop, either 2nd hand, refurbished or even new if I can get something the right price. New machines I have considered are around the £300 price tag, for the 2nd hand/re furb I am looking at £150-200. I am bemused by some of the spec, which is where I am...

Sealeon, thanks for the tip I will pick some crips/connectors up (would chock block type things do?) The fan was all wired up with 3 core and earth - going into the pole switch, out of the pole switch and to the fan. Having it where it only came on with the lights was a pain. I'm much...

OK here's some clarification. 1. I do have an opening window, so no timer needed. 2. I want the fan to operate independently of the light switch. I therefore have used the pole isolator to switch the "permanent" live and have connected the "permanent" live to the fan (brown sleeving). I...

I've not noticed anything explicitly stating a humidifier is in it. It's a Vent Axia Silhouette 100 if this helps. I'll disconnect all the switched lives relating to the fan and run it on the 'permanent' live which will be controlled by the isolator switch. This should then allow me to run...

Yeah decent gear but why don't they provide better installation instructions?! I'm not bad at plumbing but some of that left me scratching my head!!

I've got my IP44 fan to go in the hole in the wall. The wiring from the previous fan is ready to connect and............confusion. The previous fan was a IP?? rated model with a timer built in. It had 3 core and earth cable feeding it via a triple (I think) pole isolating switch. The new...

I've moved the bathroom suite around and as a consequence the locations of the different zones has changed. This means that the extractor fan is now located approx 8 foot high above zone 1. This is effectively on the border between zones 1 and 2. The fan I have is IP44 rated, mains voltage...

They are a feckin nuisance! I've not been able to get in the garden to cut the lawn, due to being busy working inside the house over the summer. I know that I will have to get a shovel and spend a good few minutes cleaning up the **** from these despicable animals off MY grass before I can...

Bloke at work keeps going on about his son being "registered disabled because he has ADHD". Would he qualify for disabled olympics?

I have a car capable of travelling at 100mph. Should the police start sending me threatening letters telling me they are going to fine me for speeding because the car is capable? What something is capable of, and what something is used for, are commonly two different things.

Do you honestly believe that they would give you a clear, honest answer? I don't. They'll write whatever confusing waffle they can so that everyone believes they need to have a licence (for a mobile phone, FFS!) when in fact they may not need one. They are in it for your money.
