    Noisy Boiler

    I have an old Glowworm Fuelsaver 40B MkII (came with the property) When I moved in a year ago, used to sound like someone was beating the hell out of it. Ended up being a dodgy motorised valve. Behaved itself ever since up until a week ago. Now, when you hear the click of the flame...

    Creating a porch

    I've seen some that extend out from under the arch and are L shaped so you would enter from the side rather than head on. This would suit us as we are going to wall in our side of the driveway to stop the kids riding their bikes over our property and scratching my car. Would also stop rubbish...

    Creating a porch

    The main reason, other than dirt and wind, is to keep out the noise their kids make when they have their friends over. they tend to sit in the porch often on our side and their voices get amplified almost like in an amphitheatre.

    Advice on thickness of plywood for tiling bathroom floor

    I used 12mm too. Important to screw down every six inches and try to drive some through to joists below, making sure you don't hit any pipes. By securing it to the floorboards AND the joists you minimise the movement as much as possible. You will still need to use a suitable tile adhesive and...

    Built in Indesit oven

    Model FIE 36 K.B IX GB Says it is 2400 watts MAX and goes on to suggest different ways to connect to electrical circuit one of which is via a 13amp 3pin plug. Is this a safe way of connecting it or should I be looking at connecting it to the switch plate above the worktop? What other...

    Sorry to Hijack. Have the same situation in my house (seems to be same all over Chadwell Heath). How can we secure insulation wool so as it doesn't fall back down?

    Sony DCR-PC120E IEEE 1394 firewire problem

    you're not trying to connect it to an Apple Mac are you? As far as I can remember the PC120 is miniDV which isn't compatible to Apple. Something to do with mpeg4 not being a standard they support... might be mistaken, wait for more to answer.

    Peep Holes

    Had a peep hole supplied with my Anglian made (or not) door. The other day I came home and something was different with my door. First couldn't figure it out, then it dawned on me. Some little tw4t had nicked my peep hole and pushed the other half throught the door. I've since ordered a new...
