cheers clf-gas. is there a way of checking this without replacing the gauge ? Or would you simply fit a new one and have done with it ?

Its amazing how much spare time some people have caster I mean come on, it only takes about 4 days to read all the threads that have been posted over the last week. Obviously the OP had a week or two spare so though he would catch up :shock: Those were the days, Legs and jbonding...

Very interesting reading this thread. I hope you keep your camera handy and take lots of pictures of the progress so we can all have a look. I find it amazing that the builder/cony company were aware of the soakaway but neglected to advise you on what should be done. Like you said, tis a...

Have a problem with my father in laws 105 HE Inst ( i know go on, get over the laughing fit) Anyway, loosing presure, or is it ? The gauge is reading 0 so top it upto 1.5 and away it goes. 10 mins later 0 again. I noticed their was a slight drip for the relief valve so i twisted it till it...

If your property is a solid stone wall then simply trapping the damp in the stone with a cement render is not the answer. Stone solid cavity walls need plastering with lime plaster, this allows the wall to breath and moisture to evaporate naturaly. If you apply a cement render, you are...

Ops look as if you got it wrong already :D Soil Heave can be caused by the following reasons: 1. "Stress relief" due to the removal of soil from an excavation. 2. An upward seepage of water resulting from a change in the water table...

Ensure when you come to lay it that you use a 1.5mm notched V trowel and let the adhesive go tacky for 15 to 20 mins before you start to lay. I always prep the border first and cut the pieces before I spread the adhesive. Do not place the strips flat. let the strip sit on your shoulder and...

:cry: Oh you poor sod.

If you do opt for 4" blocks, dont forget to add the odd buttress if you are only planning a single skin.

Yeah i know what you mean. The bco who has overseen the bungalow i am building at the moment is one of the old school. I built the bungalow next door to this one back in 1994 and he was the guy who overseen that one also. I was still wet behind the ears then and so was he. I have to...

Jeds, Thats an interesting one that. I started a conservatory base, brickwork and party wall a few weeks ago. The customer changed his mind and decided he wanted a sun lounge (all glass structure but with a warm tiled roof) He had previously applied for planning for the conny because we...

Am i missing something here ? cant say i have ever renovated an old barn before but i have laid my fair share of crete. Why didnt you lay sand binding, DPM, then insulation and finaly flood with the grey stuff ? Ive only ever done it the other way when a radion mebrane was required and a...

Whenever planning permission is applied for it is open for public viewing. This is so any person can look at your plans and object if they feel they have grounds. But they arent the only ones trawling through the weekly planning applications. You get builders merchants, roof truss companies...

The purpose of the subbase is that it is this layer that takes and distributes the weight of the traffic. 1" of mot 1 is NOT enough. Your drive will develope ruts usually where your cars will be hitting the same area ever time you use it ( enterance to drive) This will look ****e within the...
