    Is System Restore Taking Up A Lot Of Drive Space?

    I don't know if the above post is legit or not, but you should NEVER bits of code you don't understand from unknown sources. Even if you trust the guys that gives you the link, he might be unaware if it's safe. There's an easier way to do it anyway. If you want to limit the disk space...

    So, should we be worried about this ISP download crackdown?

    Avoid P2P. they are very easy to trace. If you've noticed, nearly all the internet copyright prosecutions in USA/Europe (and there have been > 10,000)) have been for P2P/BitTorrent/SharedFolders. If you want music software or video, there are other ways.

    B&Q solid wood flooring

    You're lucky. I only got a 1200mm piece every tenth pack in my B&Q flooring. I'm told if you buy quality flooring (ie not B&Q), then all the pieces are long. There is no start piece, it goes down in a random patern. If you're new to this, read all the posts by WoodYouLike and mattysupra...

    Internal rendering 200 year old stone cottage

    Oh they are definitely solid. Enlarged a few windows when I moved in and some of the stones go all the way through the wall. Taking out 250lbs+ stones from 10 feet up, with just a ladder is scary (and stupid). Stone are random - some large, some small - but theres no dirt in there. The mortar...

    Internal rendering 200 year old stone cottage

    I'm pretty sure there's no foundations. There was some evidence of damp before internal rendering. None afterwards, except where a skip driver took out a down pipe. I killed all my drills and bits trying to put a new one up (very hard stone). I've just walked round for you. All my...

    Internal rendering 200 year old stone cottage

    My house is 180 years old and solid random stone (550mm thick). I had the walls rendered internally 19 years ago. Some cracks (max 1mm wide) appeared over the first 18 months but haven't changed since. My plaster advised widening the cracks with a blunt srewdriver and filling with the stuff they...

    radiator output

    I know noting about radiator temperatures, but I believe it works this way. The hotter an object is, the more heat it will emit. Since the heat capacity of liquid water is constant, the heat emitted will also be proportionate to the temperature drop of the water multiplied by the volume of...

    Solid bamboo flooring in conservatory

    The inlaws wanted to put a solid oak floor in their new conservatory. After looking at the posts here I've suggested that solid and laminate are out and they need to go for engineered. I think I read somewhere that solid bamboo was very tolerant of moisture/temperature changes - and thus may...

    You could also try reclamation yards if you want to save some £ - I've seen them there before. Make sure they include delivery though, you'd need something big to shift a 7m one.
