Hello All, First of all pardon my terminology but I am having an issue with my upstairs cold water. Basically when you turn the tap on it is as normal and within 1 second the pressure goes down to next to nothing. If you turn it off for 3 or 4 seconds, and turn it back on the same thing...

Does anyone know how I can confirm my spans are correct on the deck I plan to build? My longest span is 8ft from a supported cross beam and I will be using Pressure Treated 2"x6" 's. I will also be using joist hangers. It is near ground level (around 4-6" off ground) I know 12" centers...

I had a thermostat with a cut off and it went off all the time (even when the heating was on). The electrician replaced all of them in the estate with the newer one you see. The fuse unit is indeed under the switch

On the switch: Brown is Bath (Ba) Black is Sink (Si) The immersion says it is an "Ideal Immersion" 220 Volts 2/3 KW It also says: Irish Domestic Electrical Appliances Limited 31 STH Gloucester Street Dublin I don't have a brand on the switch

Heres the other end:

Yes, it is a sink/bath switch I will take a picture of the switch side and post it

I had to have my immersion tank replaced (it was damaged when it was installed). A qualified electrician originally wired the immersion. When the tank was replaced, the plumber didn't hook the wiring back up. I have no problem wiring up light switches and outlets but wanted to check about an...

I have some Laurels that I planted last year to eventually grow above our fence and provide more privacy. They are growing fairly quickly but in every direction. I am just wondering the following: 1.) Can I prune the lower branches that are coming into the garden? 2.) If so, can I prune...

I had a big cat fouling problem in my back garden (usually at least once a day if not more). It got to the point where I had to get something. The pepper powder works but as soon as there was any moisture (rain, dew, watering) the cat(s) were back so that got expensive and time consuming. I...

I would imagine you could also drill a hole through then use a sledge to drive a long piece of rebar. Depends on the amount of weight behind them though (I use this method for doing flowerbeds)

I actually found one (In case anyone else is doing a search in the future - Ruberoid in Ballycoolin Dublin They are a UK outfit but have a warehouse here. Off to buy 4 packs. http://www.ruberoid.co.uk/ Cheers!!

I have finished building my shed and instead of slate or concrete tiles, I want to use asphalt shingles. They are much cheaper and lighter and because its just a shed they are plenty tough enough (They are really for asthetics rather then purpose) The problem is I can't find them. Most...

I suppose I could print out the pictures and bring it to one. Anyone else enquired before or deal with fireplaces.

As you can see in the pictures below we have a slight crack in the insert of our fireplace. It is around 1 year old and when it was first installed, we started with timber fires then moved to turf fires as we were advised to smart small to allow the fireplace to adjust. To this day we haven't...

It is less then a year. I am trying to narrow down where the smell is coming from though. The trap is spotless so it isn't the drain (in fact the drain smells fine while the overflow can stink). The only other possible culprit is the also nearly new dishwasher hose. I have used dishwasher...

No problem..because the shed will only be an 8'x10' at the biggest I plan to just dig out the footings and use pre cast concrete blocks (Then build a 4x4 timber skid)

Sorry about that...The server I put the picture on must have blocked it. Hopefully it is fixed and you see it now.

I need to remove (well either replace or clean extra well) my sink overflow as it stinks most of the time. Can anyone advise how to remove it from the sink body. I am obviously able to remove the drain end quite easily but can't figure out how its attached to the sink. I am also working...

Should I use it just for the floor or should I be using it for the entire shed? (I was thinking of just treating any of the lumber above ground level)

I am looking to start work on building a garden shed (similar to this one at Argos). I have done quite a bit of framing before so I'm thinking it will be a fairly straight forward project if I take my time. Does anyone have a link to some good shed plans? I could probably just build it but...
