How to hide the expansion gap around a marble hearth? The manufacturer of the flooring (Balterio) offer matching edging strips so I bought those with the laminate, but now have second thoughts. The edging works like a door bar in that a plastic channel is fitted to the floor & the edging...

Anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks again, your input is much appreciated. After all my failed Googling efforts previously I've just found this. May help others. Edit As may this & this. The key seems to be to research which engine you have (listed in the specs of the user guide) & then search on that rather than the...

It's a 2003 HRG415C2 (GCV135?). I guess water must have got in a some point as there was corrosion at the bottom of the bowl. No idea how though. The Redex I was thinking of was this as it's claimed to help keep carb jets clean.

Thanks, that's much appreciated. :D I pushed a small needle through the main jet & that seemed clear. But I guess miniscule amounts of dirt could cause a problem given how small the jet is. Should the emulsion jet just fall out of the body once the main jet is removed? I don't have...

Took a brave pill & pulled the carb apart. There was some muck in the bowl so I cleaned it & the jet as best I could. Now it starts but will only run relatively smoothly with the choke on. Back it off & it hunts/pulses so I guess I need to adjust the mixture but can't find any info...

My sentiments exactly.

It had vertical blinds fitted all round when we bought the house. Even tying up a large dust sheet to the roof as well made precious little difference. I suspect I would need to stop the heat entering in the first place. I've even looked at a big awning. One thing that may do it (that...

Heat loss is only half the story as an equal (if not greater) problem is trying to keep it below roasting on a sunny day. I suspect that no matter how efficient the glass was it would still cost a fortune to heat in winter & cool in summer.

Not that many plants that are equally at home at both 0 & 50°C though. :wink: But we digress.

We have a lean-to style conservatory built on a dwarf wall. It's approx 4m x 3m, double glazed in hardwood frames with a single cell polycarbonate - and it's good for nothing! It's south-east facing so in the summer, the sun hits it almost a soon as it rises & doesn't leave it until around...

Thanks again guys, plenty of food for thought there. Funds simply aren't there to consider moving it. :(

:lol:

Cheers guys. There's plenty of room for the foam to expand as the box is some 12" x 9". No idea why it's so big. Just looking at Wickes site there's a suggestion that the foam expands to approx 3x, so a 750ml can will fill approx 2l. I guess that's rather a lot of cans making it uneconomical.

Thanks Nige, I'll look into that.

Thanks Hugh, I had no idea it was required. Just seems running through the main living area was a crazy thing to do. I suspect from tapping it that it's ply. I'll know soon as the wallpaper is about to come off for redecorating. I'd be reluctant to remove it as I have zero DIY skills & would...

I have a '70s semi & for reasons I can't begin to fathom, the soil pipe runs inside the house. It descends into the lounge & is simply boxed in. This provides an ideal sounding board to present anyone sitting in the lounge with a blow by blow account of everything that's occurring in the toilet...
