    new solid wooding oak floor has swollen up into a bump

    I'm guessing you're going with the shrink/swell possibility here? I was thinking along the lines of.. flooring with a mild moisture content (as most timber has), put into warm house, moisture evaporates, timber can't contract, so bubble appears where it can shrink? Matt

    Ventilation Tiles

    Depending on where you are in Essex I could recommend a couple of good roofing merchants. Any Good roofing merchant will be able to supply these. You'll need to either know the make of the roof tile, or take a tile down to them for them to identify. When it comes to fitting, I can't help...

    Ouch

    Back when I was a yardman (about 7 years ago now) for Builder Center, one of the new yard lads had just finished loading up the delivery lorry. Decided to be a helpful chap and close the lorry sides for the driver. Proceded to do this, only to not be able to locate the pins on one of the...

    Heated towel radiatior for bathroom

    I have to say that I've got a towel rail as the only source of heat in my bathroom. The bathroom isn't massive, (approx 3.6m x 1.5m) but I put a 1200 x 600 rail, as they don't output as much heat as radiators, so you generally have to go a bit larger. Plus added to that you generally cover the...

    Combi boiler in loft?

    I've got my combi in my loft.. It's mounted on the gable end of my house and the flue goes straight out the side. I've got lovely pressure on the hot taps, and the central heating gets plenty warm enough, it works ok for me. Not sure if there are any issues, apart from getting the water & gas...

    Busy times ahead..

    I agree. If you can do it before you move in, not only will it save them wrecking some stuff, but it might save some time if you're paying them hourly.. like I did. That way you don't have to pay them to move furniture around. Matt

    Just a thought. Have you tried using Firefox? So much better and more secure than IE. Apologies, this doesn't solve your problem, but might offer an alternative solution.
