Thank you vibrobullet, I will tell him to try that. Do you have any idea as to whether it canbe used on top of a painted blown vinyl paper and then emulsioned over again or should the paper be removed and the primer applied directly to the wall before repapering? Thank you Maggie

Hello again all, I'm just wondering if anyone can tell me the correct primer to block out some kind of tar/bitumen stain that is bleeding through the wallpaper in my grandsons house? It must have been painted on the wall as some sort of ealry damp-proofing and has now started to bleed...

Hello misterhelpful. I hope you don't mind but I have sent you a message and don't really know if I have done it right so please could you check and let me know? Thank you. (MrsT)

Excellent! Thank you for your time and advice. :D Maggie

The centre wall is a brick chimney which has been dropped below the roofline (many years ago) and is about 5 foot wide. Each side of this are two triangular openings - abot 4 foot high and wide with the outer edges following the slope of the roof. He did consider bricking it up but, due to...

I understand your point but if this firewall was required it would have been picked up on in the survey before he bought the house 5 years ago, wouldn't it? That said, if he was to frame it properly and double board it, would it be wise to use polythene (like a vapour barrier, but for...

Hi, and thanks for the reply. I'm not sure what you mean. Surely if there is nothing there at all now just blocking the ends off won't need to meet any fire regulations will it? :? My grandson just wants to stop the unpleaant smells. Thanks, Maggie

Hello all, I hope someone can give me (on behalf of my Grandson) some advice. He has a terraced house and the ends of the loft space are partialy open - you can see through to the neighbours loft at one end. There is just the shared chimney in the centre of the space but there are wedge...

Thank you Chris, that has made a difference. We tried the Automatic setting and just got a little flicker of a black screen when swithcing between SD and HD which would cause no problem really other than getting used to it and there was a little improvement. We then connected the scart...

I should have mentioned that we tried with just a scart lead previously but not changging to rgb. Just done that (much to hubbys annoyance) with the scatr lead and disconnected the hd lead and it was the same but the hd channels were poor as well. The sky manual says to just use the hd cable if...

Hello all, I wonder if you could tell me why the channels on my tv (all througgh sky) that are not in HD now seem to appear very blurry compared to the ones that are in HD. I know that there is a difference if you flick between the same SD and HD channels but many of the other channels that...

Ah, perhaps we will have to learn a bit more about computers to know exactly what we are buying infuture and not waste even more money than we need to - ha ha!. We did renew on our last day of cover so proably could have done without it and did think about ticking the trash box but were not sure...

We updated to version 5 Norton and used all 3 licences because my son used one for the grandchildrens computer. We are all happy anyhow but there was a service charge on the Norton dowwnload so that added £7.99 onto the half price deal that MisterHelpful linked to in his thread so it worked out...

Thank you for alerting me of this topic MrH. You were right about it being helpful. Maggie

Thank-you both for the extra infromation there are some good prices for the NORTON products in that other topic and the NOD seems a good deal also. I will ask my son tomorrow which he thinks will be best but as i mentioned I think he will agree we should probably stick with whatwe know and he...

OK, thank you. My grandchildren often use the laptop when visiting and say they love it because it works really well for what they want - goodness knowws what that is. Perhaps I'd be safer buying a new version because as I said it's been fine since we've had it and wouldnt want to change that...

Ah, as we expected but wanted to make sure before we buy/download a new version. Would you know if the free versions are as good as the bought ones - I'm always a bit sceptical of getting something for nothing these days, especially online! Thank you Maggie

Hello all, I've done a few searches here in recent dyas but can't seem to find something that matches my query. I hope someone can advise or point me to a thread that will help of possible. We bought a new laptop at the same time as my son bought his home computer last year and got Norton...

Oh I forgot to mention that the gap in the soffet was for ventilation and has a fine wire mesh above it which can't be seen from outside so we were told that we should take the beading that we put ther off. Maggie

Hello again, Well it seems you were right that the roof might be the cause of the problem because today my friends son who is a clerk of works for the councils building dept called by to have a look and found that there is a split in the purling. He said it is not bad but is probably causing...
