Hi All Few weeks back I reported my neighbour had builders in starting work on his dormer. They ripped tiles off in no time and seem to be in mad rush. Then the great big RSJ 200mm X 200mm X 4 meter long arrived. The delivery driver struggled to get it off his wagon and 8 bodies draged it...

Hi Guys The fault code was F28 & F29. I couldn't make what they meant. I had a local engineer call in as I was getting desperate. He found a gate valve on heating return pipe shut. My other half remembered her mates son was messing around the boiler he shut the valve. I like to thank you all...

Hi freddmercurystwin The reason I suspect something is going on is that where is second RSJ going to go when a RSJ was installed last year when the loft was converted. Its a semi detach house. His property is not joined to mine. We have a wall and drives. This neighbour is only socialable...

Hi All I am not at all sure as to what exactly is going on next door. My neighbour has lodged a number of planning applications and has had them approved but isn't satisfied with the build which wasn't bad. Inially he opted for a double story extension at back with a loft conversion and...

Hi noseall At the moment the bits of steel that carry the weight of the gates protude through the pillers. I have taken gates down a few times in the past to paint them. They are not heavy. What about tieing pillers into wall is this practice allowed or shall I keep pillers seperate from the...

Hi All I need advice on building of a walls and columns. Why are my columns on both sides of the gate not tied into walls. Could it be a good thing as a careless wagon driver pulling out of drive turned too quick catching the column hence physically moving it. This was one side the other side...

Hi All Thanks for your help. I manage to locate the correct PRV for the boiler and buy it at very reasonable price locally. It took me an hour to fit it. No loss of pressure. On the price side some retailers were quoting double the price plus postage.
