I am fairly sure a new switch is going to fail quite quickly, when the switch makes contact, it arcs quite a lot, and on the inside of the switch you could see all the tell tail oxidation. Its like the switch wasnt really man enough for the job. i was thinking of something that looked...

Hi Guys, Wondering if any of you might know of something that would be suitable. My pressure washer on off switch has failed. Replacement cost is ten quid, but problem is it broke once because it was cheap and crap so likely to break again. And i hate paying ten quid for some rubbish that...

Hi All, I wondered if you guys had any opinions, on this stealth transfer of ownership of lateral drains. http://www.wessexwater.co.uk/water-and-sewerage/threecol.aspx?id=4570 their official pdf leaflet. http://www.wessexwater.co.uk/workarea/linkit.aspx?linkidentifier=id&itemid=7414...

Many Thanks Static. I feel a bit more prepared now. Cheers A

Thank you Static. Yes i realize if you want a good job you pay proper money. Things on my ask list are: foundation depth, width, concrete spec. retaining wall design, and material spec. concerete pad spec Floor timber specs 1st floor ceiling timber spec Roof timber sizes...

Bit of both, I am going to get people in to do each , so not one contractor doing the whole lot. No trees, retaining wall will be 1ft above my ground level. I know a little bit about building regs. But will hopefully arrange to speak to the building inspector so he can decide what...

Hi Guys, Wondering if i can ask for some advice. We have just got planning for an extension, which is good. I know we need a structural engineer for things like foundations beams etc. The thing i dont know is how much detail they are likely to go into, or it needs to be. We need...

sorry brian freeze, paint... krust is a rust converter. Adrian

You have a metal skim bead on the corner, It keeps the shape of the edge. Krust metal treatment, and some metal place. or, cut out the skim bead and replace with some new stuff. A

I am proposing a double storey extension. This garden wall is a small retaining wall, about 1 foot high. I think its my side of the boundary. yeah thought about the roof issues, internal gutters and a parapit wall i was thinking. A

Yes i suppose this could be done. I guess your saying the foundation would be as wide as the wall, but the depth would be designed to take such load. This would make it on the edge both sides in this instance. ta A

Our neighbour has a blockdrive, which would be good not to disturb. There is no difficulty in making them wider and deeper and our side. also, It seems the retaining wall is our boundary. Further back on the same line, our garage is actually built on top of it. We were hoping that we...

Hi all, I am planning on building an extension. However i am a little concerned about the foundations at my boundary. at our boundary, the neighbour is 1ft higher and there is a small wall ( i assume retaining). I was wondering when you build on a foundation do you have to build in the...

My DNO came to investigate the earth at my request, they just cut off the seals, yanked the fuse out, did a quick test and F offed, and said "stick the earth in the neutral it'll be fine". They didn't bother resealing it. There is also a henley block between the supply and the new meter...

lol

Yup, but its bloody expensive and requires electric, whereas you should be able to manufacture one for next to nout. A

Great idea. i cant see one. You could also incorporate a trap into it. Surely couldnt be hard to make? I guess we will see you on dragons den next year..... :lol:

If you look at the connectors the rubber colar is part of the pan connector. it sounds like your not overly confident, perhaps it might be better to get someone in? Also might not be the best thing to start before everything closes for christmas. A

The slightly extendable pan connector should be able to make it from the pan to the external soil pipe without the need of an extension pipe. A

I would try screwfix, yes looks right. I am not sure about all your stages, all you do is push it all together, a bit washing up liquid to help it slip together is handy..
