I really can't believe that anyone would even consider paying £700 for two guys for half-a-days work. And it is equally hard to believe that anyone would consider a proper paint job could be done in that time.

I sense waves of glorious pedantry building strength just over the horizon.

Dredging up the last post because it happened again. This time I got the guys out and of course by the time they came it had started working again - like before. They replaced the door seals - again - and electrodes, scratched their heads, and left a bit puzzled. About five minutes after they...

Made out of what? For what purpose? I began to think medical plumbing - the kind of plug'n play plastic stuff you see in Intensive Care (or on ER) - but that's probably way off target for your project.

Price point noted. It is sad that veggies with real flavour attract premium prices. On the other hand, what percent of your weekly spend is veggies? So spoil yourself now and again and buy organic mushrooms, carrots or bananas. That's where I find the biggest extra flavour value. Oh yes...

We have tiles at sink and cooker. Elsewhere, between worktop and cupboard, and to the same height on a few odd bits of wall, is tongue and groove - tastefully coloured to match the worktop and with beautifully crafted top and bottom trim so you don't see any edges. No disadvantages found yet -...

Pi IS a dimensionless constant.

If you search for diversity on Electrics UK you will find plenty of discussion on this and related topics - mostly useful :)

Frightening thought. Good paint and a good roller takes the pain and most of the mess out of painting ceilings. That and NOT trying to make the paint spread as far as possible.

If you want white, you can get white plastic sleeving that slips nicely over straight pipe runs - great for the feed to radiators - avoids the need to paint.

If you connect the live to the right place on the fittings then the switches will work OK.

Shower = load. Apart from possible confusion to others, the fact that L and N are reversed should not be a big deal. Your scorch marks are most likely to be poor connection or dying switch.

Problem is that you have wired live to the common terminal on the switch and neutral to one of the switched outputs. When you turned the switch "off" you were in fact connecting live to neutral - generally a Bad Thing.

Top Tip Breezer. I hope I remember the next time I do my 50 (just finished them).

Paddy1: I agree with your logic OK. But like I said earlier, the mouldings on my picture rail and skirting would make it more or less impossible - talking about a 2-3mm bottom edge on the rail and not much more on parts of the skirting.

Mercury freezes at -39 degrees C.

Aw c'mon Kev - give us a clue. I'm in the mood for weird puzzles tonight but this is teasing me beyond sanity.

This is really way beyond my understanding - but if it (the delay in getting water) was my problem I'd be looking for some kind of quirk with the cold feed - but I wouldn't know where to look. And I wonder why you have these n and u bends twixt tank and pump? My power shower has a simple...
