noseall,it is a local Co not a big national as i like to buy local, the first Co said they dont make legend70 which i have now but tried to sell me liniar after saying they dont make legend so found other firm who use legend and they came out with the safety glass issue/bs,only want legend to...

obnd.john, thanks for that its just that i think he is bumping the price up a bit but as you say better safe than sorry but i did question it and was told it's the regs when it is not as you have made clear,now if he had said i would advise you to have it in case of a slip in the bath i would...

Have been told i need safety glass in a replacement window for a bathroom, the height from floor to edge of glass is 116cm and from bottom of bath110 and from what i can find from goggle the minimum before needing safety is 800mm,is this the current regs or am i being fed bs.

opps, Found out we have some paint boffins at work and asked them why emulsion cracks unless sealed and they said it's the solvents in the emulsion leaching out or being drawn into the caulk,he said a ****y coat of pva on the caulk would stop it.

Thank's oops i will give it a try,out of curiosity do you know why it sometimes cracks like is it a chemical thing or expansion.

Need to prime some caulk at wall/ceiling join to stop cracking when the emulsion goes on,have read that oil based undercoat does the job but can only find water based in small tins so can i use Zinsser cover stain that i have?

Is it a 4 inch post,all i did with a rotten one was to remove fence panels either side where attached to rotten post and drill out the rotten stuff with an auger or wood twist drill and whack the new post in after soaking in old engine oil for a couple of days,having taken a second look at the...

Nice job,what about Velcro for the dyson bits.

Thanks for those,now bookmarked.

Thanks,another job for the list but an easy one for a change.

Not without taking floorboards up,do you think i should just swing the box round and reterminate wiring and put a new piece of 2.5 in to the lower socket and fix a blanking plate that way allowing acces to the join.

32a and the circuit is not split up and down it's just the one mcb.

Thats a point there is only a single but it is original wiring from from when it was built as previous occupiers would not have done sweet fa to the place along with conductors are red and black which thinking about it is odd as the other sockets all have 2 cables,would it tell me on the eic...

Yes 30Ma,plus it would save all the chasing out/making good which is what i want to avoid. Thank you Sir.

Thanks for the reply, Its all te cable but the one going down i was a bit generous in stripping the sheath,did not think of having a single socket and then dropping from that to the double but if i do that am i ok with the plastic conduit on the top half and the copper on the bottom half?

In Kitchen has been extended and would like to know what to do about the wiring so it is safe for future occupants as we hope to move,what was a single socket has been dropped down to just above the skirting,the original 2.5 drops from the ceiling and is in that oval plastic conduit and is about...

We had ours replaced/updated a couple of years ago and was concerned they would fix it to the lower wooden panel which is next to the frront door and which would need replacing at some time and then the drama of getting it moved to fit new frame etc,dont know what i worried about as they just...

Ha,a keen gardener i guess,which reminds me i must string some copper wire around the shed ridge to get rid of the lichen,i beleive the salts leach out when it gets wet and kills it

Agree with all the above comments,we had mould in the shower across a lintel and a good extractor fan and dilute copper sulphate painted on the sanded emulsion seems to have done the job although you will need a few coats of emulsion to cover the blue up,i had a couple of fungal nails on my feet...

Would it be worth stop drilling the crack because as a previous poster said it will have movement,i know it works on metal but dont know about plastics.
