Yes the dryer is electric - I've still not got round to doing this yet as i couldn't seem to get hold of a 110V female plug to 240V - that plugs into the transformer (powers it up) I went to B&Q and they only had the female 110v plugs not made up. Anyway that's going off topic a little so i...

Thanks for the help guys - I will be drilling from the inside as a safe measure due to water pipes rather close in the area. I don't want to knock into them by mistake. will let you know how it goes - cheers

Can anyone help please. I have to fit a white night tumble dryer model 382WV this weekend. My wife is telling me how easy it is so i can do it. (women live in dreamland most the time) Anyway we have put it in the kitchen near the front door, so now all i need to do is fit the vent through...

I don't think he used any testing equiptment, when i got home he was just finishing and my wife told me what he'd said / done. would it be possible for an amature to test the insulation - I'm familiar with taking readings from digi multimetres. I would take all precautions if explained. cheers

This happens when were in bed and the water and heating haven't been used for a few hours. I'm sure it's something to do with next door. Do you think it's the pipes that loose then ?

Thanks for everone's feedback and support. A sparky came out last night, told me i'd drilled through the earth. It took him about 5 minutes to repair it (don't know what he did - something about recrimping it.) he even put the cuboard back on DOOD!!! End of story

Hiya all We get a very loud knocking or hammer noise in our house quite often. It mainly happens when the cold water tap has been running downstairs pretty quick and then is suddenly stopped. A banging noise Boom Boom 2 seconds later bang. In the kitchen is the main water stopcock feed and...

Hi, I've had this Swan night hawk wireless camera and receiver for over a year now and never got round to seeting it up till last weekend. The cam is good quality and good reception in the house when connected via a scar to the back of the T.V - well impressed at the night vision too. I...

Right - I've just been home in my lunch hr because i can't stop thinking of the worst possible scenario i.e. House burning down while asleep. Took the cuboard off and cut through the white plastic cove ( Very carefully with the electric off), Just my luck it was a double plug socket and there...

Thanks for everyones response so far. I will have a look closer inspection later, chip more plaster away and cut into it as advised - at least i can see whats happened exactly. My main concern is that can or is this a fire issue. Thanks

I know this is a really dum thing that i did and i'm really annoyed at myself and also now concerned. I put a kitchen unit up over the weekend after lots of nagging from my wife - I forgot about the plug socket situated below where the cuboard was to hang. Luckily the electric was already turned...

The water does clear after a while so i assume it's just air bubbles then. Thanks

I appreciate all help as always. After we had our combi boiler fitted last winter, I noticed that the hot water from the bathroom sink was a soapy white. My wife told me that her friend, who is a plumber says, "It's to do with the pressure and when the tap is turned on higher, it should...

Thanks Guys. I have all the info i require - what could go wrong!!!

Ok, thanks for the link - Very interesting stuff. I read it all but it doesn't mension about how to release the pressure if you accidently put too much in there. I'm just taking extra precautions prior to going ahead with this. Thanks

Thanks for your help. So i will have to mess with the filling loop - is it a simple task, one tap to fill and another to empty ? Thanks

Hi Guys, I know this question has probably been asked before but i would just like to clarify it please. Basically i need to remove a radiator from downstairs whilst the wall gets plastered. We've got a combination boiler, which was fitted approx 12 months ago. The wall is a mess behind...

So do you think will this be ok to do. I nock up a 5/1 mix of sand & cement, brush it into the gaps & hopefully this will set hard and we wont have to re-sand the drive every time it rains. Thanks

Good morning A few months ago I had my drive done in Cobble bricks, the flat surface ones which look similar to brick paving apart from the size difference. The cobbles have about a 10 mil to 15 mil gap between each one and just sand brushed in the gaps. The builder told us that we would...

Yer its Yorkshire waters problem (I hope) I can't touch a thing My major consern is the damage to the new cobble pave drive. 6 days after we had it done the manhole flooding due to rain and washed away all the sand, that was keeping the firm bond with the bricks. Its been re-sanded about 4...
