    new oil tank

    Sorry about the tank size. Its 1100 ltres and plastic. I am assuming that a fire valve already exists just before the pipe runs into the pump of the boiler so i did not buy a new one. With the tank is a regular guage and a filter. Do you have a rough idea of what they would cost? What...

    Gloss or emulsion first

    Always ceiling first folks... Doesn't matter what method or kind of paint you use it is always going to give overspray to some extent. If you are a qaulified painter and using proper techniques then ideally you should be doing all the walls next and finally finish off with the woodwork. As...

You don't want to get out of bed to go to the loo causeyou'll wake the whole house. The main problem seems to be in a section...

    Built in wardrobe

    All look very nice and professional, the only thing is none of them show the inside of them clearly or the stages of them being built. You don't have anything like that? (says me with a brass neck - next i'll be asking you to build them) Cheers.

    Oil fired central heating

    What i meant was that there is a pipe running from the furnace with a myra pump fitted about 3 foot up the pipe. I looked at the baffle plate and there appears to be a piece of board under the plate which is cut smaller than the opening. This would be why there is a lot of noise due to there...

    Bathrrom light

    Are you guys saying that one of the terminals on the light fitting leads to a centre pin that the end of the bulb connects to and so this should be the live terminal?

    Bathrrom light

    On the new light fitting, because the two terminals are not marked with Live and Neutral I assumed that it didn't matter which was used for Live etc. Am I right in assuming this or is there a correct way to determine which terminal should be used for the Live. The bulb is an ESB (if that is a...
