Hi Foxholes & Doggit, I quite understand your comments, but we moved the sugar one winter to a cupboard on an internal wall and it was fine. Last year and so far this winter we have put a crystals dehumidifier in the cupboard and all was and is fine. I am going to fit an extractor over the...

Hi All, I have a problem with our kitchen wall cupboards, because they are on an outside wall come winter they get so cold inside the sugar goes damp and lumpy, there is a 10mm gap at the back of the cupboards so I thought it might it may help if I put some kind of insulation at the back. Any...

Hi, just finished laying a patio with Granite slabs, and ideas on the best and easy grout to use please. Thanks. After 24 hours no answers. Has nobody ever laid a patio ?????

Thank you for all idea's, it seems I only have 2 ways round this, 1 live with it 2 change all the channels manually, but at the price I will stick with it. Thanks again.

Hi, help please before I bury this TV. I purchased a Medion TV model P15494 tuned it in and all the channels are a mess. BBC1 is on number 11 instead of number1. Number 1 is ITV, channel 10 is on 66, channel 20 is on 63. All the channels are wrong. Medion sent me another set and this one is the...

Hi woodbine, thank you looks like you and mitch66 think alike. Cheers Reg.

Hi Roger928 thanks for the numbers are they the heat loss. ???. Cheers Reg

Hi mitch66, thanks for your answer almost the same as woodbine, good idea back up fire. Cheers Reg.

There's always one, and your todays.

Any thoughts on heating please, we have a small bungalow, a multi fuel stove, looks nice but a pain, getting fuel, wood - coal, storing it, plus it seems 60% of the heat goes up the chimney. Electric is a no - no, to expensive, gas fire, central heating, or both. Thanks.

Hi lostinthelight, yes its a Villager Chelsea Duo with spring clips holding the glass, it's about 5 / 6 years old. Good idea with the paper to test the seal. Thanks for your idea

Hi All, sorry for the delay in replying to you all, more computer problems. I have taken 2 photos of the stove and surround and replaced the glass with a better quality glass from Germany. Hope I have managed to attach the photos.

Very tricky the glass wash thing. You need to stove to run hot enough to burn the soot of the glass, that got there from not burning the stove hot enough in the first place. The hot air should be going over the glass, and keeping it clean, and you can't let the logs etc get too close to the...

Hi John, sorry for the delay in replying laptop went wrong. I have found someone who is drilling part way and tapping for the stud as you said, makes sense. The glass doesn't crack it discolours quite a lot. And I think I have been tightening the nuts to much. REG

Hi Doggit, I agree with all your points co & smoke. The glass seems to need changing every 2 year. Not really got the hang of the glass wash. Plus there is not much room around the stove, top & sides.

Hi,Burnerman, thanks for that wasn't sure weld or brazed. The studs are brazed onto the flat of door inside which I don't think is very strong.

I have a multi fuel stove, problem is every time the door glass needs changing the nuts have to screw off the studs, and so far I have had to have 4 studs welded or brazed not sure which, the doors are cast I believe. I am thinking about drilling through where the studs are and fitting bolts &...

Good luck you have it worse than me, at least mine isn't that bad, I've no drains or man holes. And I thought I had a problem.

Cheers blightymam, your the first to reply and I think any other answers will say the same or similar. Looks like I'm in for a few headache's.

Anyone put me right please, I have taken up our old patio slabs, well past there sell by date. Problem is I checked the distance from the damp course to the top of the old slabs 3 to 4 inch's, everywhere say's it should be 150mm, near to 6 inch's. I cant break up and dig out the old concreate...
