Hm,... in my limited experience with companies, taxes etc I guess I'll need to talk to an accountant (I did read your comments in the DIY accountant thread, most useful, those guys should know what's best) and also read a bit more about business types. Something to think about, no, a lot to...

:idea: Just curious about how this works. Lets suppose I am willing to buy a house do it up then 6 months later sell it. As it is my main residence I'm not going to pay capital gains tax on the profit. Then I move on to the next one for 6 months and so on until I'm tired of doing it. Can the...

:?: antifreeze? where does it normally go (I mean in my case above)?

Hmm, :roll: , good feedback, I'll have to re-consider. Then again, it's a gym, if you need to get warm just keep running faster... :lol: cheers

Is it really? Does everybody else think that too? Hm...I was just told the opposite, but now will have to re-think my plans :roll:

@Agile Thanks Agile, most useful comment! My garden is at a very slight angle, so I'll use that. Appreciate your warning too, not too difficult to believe :lol: cheers :wink:

please tell me how, temp control is at the minimum already, but that's not good enough. I don't mind messing with pcb, in fact I have a pretty good idea about pcbs. please mail me: [email protected] otherwise I'll have to be the first one in UK to build a small boiler house in the...

just an update for the people wondering how I did get on with moving that radiator. I did use plastic pipes and pushfits and so far so good, just over a year and no leaks from the pushfits. Make sure the plastic pipes are supported well though. There was a very tiny leak, but from another...

@chrishutt very good advise thanks, the garden house will function as a gym with shower and sauna (most probably). I know I can have all this done using electric, but since it will be used frequently(hopefully), I guess you are right, gas is cheaper. If I decide to go with gas I'll probably use...

I'm now thinking of replacing the whole boiler with a similar one. I came across Maxol Fan Flue 15000 BTU hot water boiler, but not sure if this is a good replacement fot the 'Maxol homewarm 600'. Common sense tells me 15000BTU speaks for itself. Please ignore my lack of experience on this...

You probably know what I mean, you get a boiler that's supposed to be more-economical over time and easy on the environment, but don't we pay through the nose for coping on that noise. I have turned down the instant bit (the maintained water temperature in the storage tank) to the minimum and...

Thanks for your reply, thought so, but just to double check.

Has anyone done it or knows what's the best practice on this... Thanks

Just wondering, instead of using powerflushing equipment, can one just connect cold water to the system and flush it that way?

Hi, I have an old Maxol homewarm 600 boiler (10 yrs old I guess) which works fine appart from overheating the rads now and again, but on top of that it make one hell of a noise just shortly after it comes on. Not sure if it is the heat exchanger touching on something when expanding or is just...

thanks guys for your comments/nocomments @Moz wow, I wouldn't even think going that far... I guess the best advice is to work on the relationship, meanwhile if I find out more about the above scenario (i.e. changing your main residence to a btl house), I'll let you know, cheers

@hermes :lol: funny & scary at the same time, the first thought that is. I guess I can just live in the btl house (after tennant's contract runs out) without telling the bank, but I remember reading somewhere that I cannot rent it to myself, well I can have the mail forwarded, but if I later...

ok, currently I live in a house, which is on a residential mortgage and I also have a buy-to-let property. Providing things are not going well with the missus and I need to leave for a while, can I legally live in my other property. Both houses are on my name only. I read somewhere that I can...

Not sure if applicable in this case, but my experience may help someone else. I was having problems with my electric shower RCD, it was tripping off for no apparent reason and not to mention at the wrong times. It turned out that someone had connected the door bell transformer to that same...

I have noticed that some TRVs cannot be installed wherever, i.e. depending on flow/return pipes TRVs can go vertical or horisontal. If you can go to a shop that sells your type of TRVs and have a look at the leaflet how they should be installed and which pipe is the 'flow' and which is the...
