Cheers guys! will start asking about (East road first!)

does anyone know of somewhere to buy those plastic tubes from? the ones that come in two halfs, that click together for storing different length drill bits? round or square..... not sure how else to explain them :?

managed to find this on the interactive planning portal, i guess you could argue that it's a temperary notice?!?!? Planning Permission You may need to apply for advertisement consent to display an advertisement bigger than 0.3 square metres on the front of, or outside, your property. So...

Almost certainly rats. They'll shift that lot in no time at all. We had a load in our shed last year, they came up off the fields, along a water run-off pipe. If you do block off their entrance hole expect them to simply make another! as said wood is no problem for them to get through...

So i can't connect the tap hose to one end of the isolator?

Cheers Tipper, i guess i'll need to put PTFE in the thread where the tap hose connects to the pipework then, as this is a thread-to-thread joint, with a rubber washer in the end of the hose?! Or am confussing the issue?

Cheers! Very helpful, particularly regarding boss green - I'd probably have got that (I could remember that there was a red and a green 'spmething' and that the green was for potable use, so i'd probably used that! i'll go find the fernox!!! Incedently, when WOULD you use PTFE, i thought i...

I've never done compresion fittings before, but have seen it, and had it explained, several times (a while ago) my questions relate to this thread: http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=165567 firstly, when puting the isolators in, do i use PTFE tape on the trhreads, one person told...

Many thanks for the help, explanations, and advice...... with regards not being the end of the world - i guess it's that way for a reason! :) Will let you know how i get on! Cheers again!

Cheers, that sounds like something i should be able to do! No for the dumb question :oops: ..... just to check...... DOWNSTREAM... thats the side that the arrow on the isolator points? the tap side....?

Yes, the current pipes are nut and olive, they come out of the main feed from a tee, there is a short length of 15mm pipe on the end of which is the nut and olive, this then connects to a smaller diameter copper pipe with another nut and olive, runs for about 300mm into an 'upside down Y' where...

I've just bought a new maixer unit for the kitchen sink, and the hose connectors are about 20mm too short to connect to the orignal fitting. I'm no plumber so sorry if this seems a bit simple... The current fixing to the mixer tap is of copper pipe, the hot/cold feeds mix before reaching...

Looking at your new pics, it looks like the bloke wall at the end of your garden is a couplr of feet inside you boundary...is that right? Also i take it he's not changed or solved your original water problem?

As i recall (bearing in mind it happened ages ago), battery died, so changed it with the one in the charger, tried it again, and still no joy, then it started to smell and the battery felt quite warmer - much more than you'd expect having been in the charger - then it made a sizzleing sound...

the brake will kick in, if after releaseing the trigger, you press it again lightly, but as i know know the garrentee is two years, i might as well get it replaced! can't pass up a 'shiny "new" toy - for free! :D

I had not! :oops: :shock: i'll call screwfix - it pains me to say it! this is the second one as well, first one i had, the battery got so hot it started to smoke, so i chucked it out the window in a panic thinking it was about to explode (id didn't, but it was a real mess and all melted...

have you tried the screwfix pro cases - the metal ones, they will take a battering...

Anyone had experience of this? I bought a Ryobi combi drill about 20 months ago, and noticed that the electric brake seems to no longer work. At least most of the time... basically 2 times out of 3 the chuck keeps spinning after you let go of the trigger :? Other than that it seems fine...

very true, i got one of these last year when they were on the same deal. was in daily use for about 4 months, and has taken a battering ever since. well worth the money!!!

As breezer said, try a proper glazing place...... WHat ever you do though DON'T try go glass!!!! i built a summer house in the back over the summer, there were 16 panes for the windows all about 420x300mm, plus the door 600ish X 900 ish, go glass wanted nearly £100 just for the door pane, so...
