The most efficient route for a permanent radial to the DHW tank is up through the void between the ground floor ceiling and the upstairs floor. You don't have laminate upstairs do you?

True, but its a back up in case of a gas boiler failure, which shouldn't be a regular event and the motivation to get the boiler fixed (for central heating and cheaper hot water) will reduce any tendency for the user to stay on the immersion heater. What I would do is buy a double pole timed...

The most likely scenario that most of us will recognise and encounter is this: Using your child as "me" in the table above, your father's father is your child's great grandfather (possibly dead by now, but his children are probably still alive) and your father's brother's child (your cousin)...

correct Err, no. I agree that, at the outset of the show, the player has odds of 19-1 of holding the desired prize. However, the odds reduce sequentially to 18-1, 17-1, 16-1, etc, as the boxes are opened. Each time a box is opened it is a game in its own right. We are told that the...

I have been doing my annual tax return online, between Christmas and New Year, for some years now. As I only go to the IR website once a year I always forget the URL, so I store in the usual place ..... There's got to be somewhere better than the "Favourites" folder, surely :-(

A woman gets into a taxi that she has called from her mobile. The driver turns out to be an old friend from school or work, or whatever, whom she hasn't seen for years. In the short time they are in the car they are very friendly and relaxed. In a moment of impetuosity, he gives her his...

Do you guys have insurance against theft? Walk away, make a claim and stay alert.

On the assumption that the first named plays at home first: Barca Man U Inter Milan Chelsea

I find it difficult to believe that your LABC doesn't know its responsibilities in this straightforward situation. Has someone from the LABC actually been to the site and inspected your work?

2 electric elements routed around the side walls with a fan will produce a much more even temperature around the oven. Gas flames are by their nature, hot spots. Gas hobs and electric ovens are the way ahead....

The photo of the wall fitting indicates that the only red wire in the JB is the switched live, which means that the cable coming into the JB at 7 o'clock is the one to the wall fitting.. Therefore, the cable coming into the JB at 11 o'clock is the cable to the switch, with the bare wire as...

Coljack, shower pullcord switches are operated before the shower is switched on at the shower or after the shower is switched off at the shower. There is no load in these circumstances. But, I agree with you. The pull cord should not be operated every time the shower is used.

Forget cables, go wireless: http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=217723&source=2001&doy=16m12 £30 only. It works well. If you want to send the signal to more than one TV, you will have to buy another kit for another £30. Unless there are other kits out there where you can buy...

When you say, "your.......room stat" are you referring to my existing one in the hall and suggesting that I don't need the RF stat in the extension, or are you referring to my proposed RF stat in the extension?

Hi guys, I recently had an extension built with a radiator fitted inside. Due to the location of the extension and the number of windows it has, it is the first room in the house to cool down when the CH is off. I've noticed that in the mornings, before the timer switches the CH to ON, the...

Would 2 x 3 gang plates, close together, but each separately supplied from its own spur be the answer?

I didn't separate the 2nd and 3rd errors into 2 paragraphs for the sake of readability. Error 2 was, I believe, connecting the lamp directly across the live and neutral and error 3 (I believe) was connecting the switch across the live and neutral as well. The 3 errors combine to give the...

Use a strip of wood that is sligtly thinner than the diameter of the hole and 2 inches longer than the diameter. We'll call this a batten. Make another batten of the same size, but drill a hole in the middle of the second batten big enough for a 8 x 50mm wood screw to pass through. Pass the...

He's made 3 errors: 1. The wall switch is upside down. If it was the correct way up, he would definitely be breaking the contacts, so there is no way that a short could occur. 2. In the rose he has connected the lamp directly across the live feed and the neutral, so the lamp will always...

The basis is that I put the lamp above the board and everyone in the family knows its there. I don't feel the need to cater for an unescorted visitor or a burgler...
