Hi all, Can anyone recommend a backpack type sprayer - not strictly for garden use. I shall be using it to extinguish any 'spot' fires during firework displays, so would only ever use water. Have fire extinguishers but it costs to recharge them even after using a brief squirt of water...

Might be different in Illinois Mattylad :wink:

I just clingfilm directly the top of the paints surface before putting the lid back on - no skin, and if the lid is loose / works loose then it does not matter as it does not dry out. :D

I think its one of those things you clamp to your water supply pipe which claims to remove limescale and anything else the manufacturer can think of that sounds bad for you.

You might not be too young - but little Johnny and his sister who look at the forum while dads getting a beer probably are. This is not a forum closed to minors - even if you think none would be interested in a diy forum you might be surprised how many are . . .

Unless you fill it with concrete it will still end up full of water . . . Unless you are breaking up the base or making provision for its water holding properties to be bypassed.

To take up any expansion / contraction between the masonry and any fittings - windows or doors and so on, as well as differing expansion rates of the masonry itself ? Front of structure gets hot in sun - back is still cold etc etc ?

Thanks Breezer, you might have hit the nail on the head. - I did a little more investigating today, there is a tiny switch inside a plastic housing, and part of that housing is inserted into the top of where the 'water' side of things start, but it is free to slide out of where it fits and...

Boss just bought a Mira RF1 adjustable shower head Of course it wont fit into his old showers sliding rail . . . Does anyone know if this is the sliding rail kit I am looking for to replace it with ? Mira RF3 slide rail set There does not appear to be an RF1 slide rail. Many...

Stihl RE 116 K No idea why ! Fuse is ok - changed for a know good one, and power gets to its plug. Press the start button and you hear nothing - normally things start to make noises - like the motor and pump, but silence. Not even a sound of anything trying to move. I opened the...

But I still would like to know what happened when (if) you pushed the button !

Fair enough - just passing on what my fireman next door neighbour said they do when called out to chimney fires.

If you get a chimney fire it is very difficult to seal it off / stop air getting to it as it will pull in huge amounts. Instead - lightly spray water onto the fire - not enough to put it out - you are aiming to send up clouds of steam to knock out the fire, then when you think you have it out...

We did 2 years ago - monthly direct debits £32 a month and always in credit a little after each bill. Today I got an email off them saying from next month our DD was to go up to £68 a month . . . :shock: I sent them a reply back saying I was stopping the DD to them as I didnt like being...

Phone the local fire brigade ( not 999 ) - they might fit one for you free . . .

I had a lovely Gorse hedge once - keep it trimmed and it looks nice - keeps anything out ( or in ) and you can get some nice double flowered varieties - not just the straggly stuff you see at the roadside.

Just showed it to wifey - ' ooh - isn't that lovely - be nice when it's painted ' . . . :roll:

I would insist on sending it back to him by a recorded delivery and claim the refund under his warranty. - why should you send it to someone on his behalf knowing they will then be in the same position you are in but who may not think of asking any more questions . . . If they dont like it...
