    Upside down 3 pin plug?

    Pretty spot on. Its a kitchen work surface, just below a window, with just enough room for a double socket, which was fitted without taking space into consideration. Its an ideal place to have the radio.

    Timer for hot water bronze pump.

    It struck me whilst I was away recently, if I put a timer on the pump I would still have to go into the loft to manually turn pump off while on holiday. But for a few quid more I could, or could I?, use a wifi plug. Would this still be safe?

    Timer for hot water bronze pump.

    Thanks for the advice. I didn't realise I could run the pump off a 240v 3 pin plug, is that safe as it seems the easiest method?

    Timer for hot water bronze pump.

    The main aim though would be to have silence at night from the pump. I think a pipe stat would cut in and out during the night

    Timer for hot water bronze pump.

    What is the cheapest and simplest way to add a timer to my hot water circulating bronze pump. It is situated in the loft as part of my unvented cylinder and during the night the hum gets very irritating. Thanks

    External door help required please

    Just had a new external side door and frame fitted. The door is veneer. The problem is the chippie reckons there is no way to solve a problem with there being a gap at the bottom, which blows a draught in. He reckons the only way to seal it would be to fit a brush to the bottom of the door. I...

    Sealant showing through emulsion

    I posted this on another thread but realised that perhaps I was hijacking it. So I will try and delete the other post and post here instead. My decorator used zinsser BIN to cover where he couldnt remove glue stains. He used a roller to zinsser but only in certain places, he has emulsioned...

    Undersized doors (again)

    This is a slightly different problem, I think, than has been on here. Having 3 new doors fitted upstairs, they are moulded doors with 6 panels. On 2 of the bedrooms there is a gap of about 2.5 inches, there are no carpets fitted yet. The carpenter tells me that he will add a piece to the bottom...

    Portable door lock help please

    Sounds like some good advice there JohnD. I will need to wait until we visit the house to determine whether there has been a mortice lock fitted previously or whatever and to see if it can be upgraded. Thanks

    Portable door lock help please

    Thanks for both replies. I am waiting for my insurer to speak to their underwriter regarding whether they will insure an unlocked room or not. I have looked at travel goods but cannot see anything suitable as the door needs locking on exit. One thing I did find though on the web is Entrance knob...
