It's the foundations that transmits the weight of the building to the ground under your house and stops it moving closer to Australia, not the structural steel work ! If you've taken away some load bearing walls then it's inevitable that the foundations of the remaining load bearing walls are...

Polystyrene should NOT be used for insulation in the manner suggested by Perry525. To do so creates a serious fire hazard and contravenes building regulations....... Like other organic compounds, polystyrene is highly flammable. Polystyrene is classified according to DIN4102 as a "B3"...

Yes - Absolutely no problem. As regards stay bars, these are used as a precaution against any possibility of the roof apex "spreading" under the weight of, for example, a very heavy snowfall on the roof.

How much "VASTLY greater" it is depends on the particular construction of the conservatory... My conservatory has a wall mounted radiant panel heater installed which, in winter, makes the conservatory very comfortable to be in regardless of the ambient temperature outside - and at very...

Nobody is disputing that the heat loss from a conservatory will be greater than that from a standard room. However, if the conservatory is of quality construction and has appropriate heating installed, there is no reason why it can't be used all year around. Mine is - I'm holding a New Year's...

It depends on the quality of your conservatory. A cheap and nasty conservatory will indeed be like a greenhouse sellotaped onto your house. If, on the other hand, you have a good quality conservatory with high end glass units everywhere it is possible to use the conservatory all year round...

Worn motor brushes won't stop the drum filling.....

If you can get someone to sort it under warranty great. If not just fit a properly sized air admission valve to the end of the pipe and it'll be fine - Take the tape off and have a proper look at what's there. If there's no valve fitted (or the valve size is wrong for the bore of the pipe) you...

Or an ashtray on a motorbike ! . :lol:

I wouldn't trust the pipe fitter that did that work to fit a pipe in a snowman's mouth ! . :lol:

It's not a vent - It's an air admission valve. (It lets air into the system but not out). Or at least it should be : I'm afraid yours looks like a right bodge job....

Are you certain that it shouldn't be hardwired to a properly rated cooker circuit ? I'm not aware of any Bosch double cookers that just can be plugged in ....... . :?

That's exactly what Barrets did at my house. I discovered this when I dug some holes to plant roses and immediately dug out a load of broken house bricks, nails and other such debris - Also explains why my front lawn was so rubbish. I had to get the entire front lawn area excavated and taken...

No - Because I've already comprehensively and irrefutably proven my points and, as I've already clearly stated, your SCART v hdmi cable nonsense is completely irrelevant and indicative of someone with far too much time on their hands. All the OP (Original Poster to you) wants to do is to make...

Try reading the OP (Original Post to you) again. NOWHERE does it state that a hdmi lead could not be used to achieve the required connection - End Of. I have precisely zero interest in wasting my valuable time entering into a completely irrelevant debate regarding the relative merits of SCART...

"One of those boxes ?" - Well, what a highly technical description ! What boxes ? Assuming that you are referring to hdmi to SCART adapters, on what basis are you stating that they would be required ? SCART cables are yesterday's technology. Where in the OP is it stated that the required...

I had a similar (worse in fact ) incident in my house a few years ago. I'd get some industrial dehumidifiers into action as soon as possible. It is amazing how much moisture they can suck out of the fabric of a room overnight. The sooner you start dehumidifying the less time the water will have...

Can you not use a hdmi cable ? Scart cables are very passe. You don't need to drill such a big hole in the wall to get a hdmi plug through... You'd need a core driller to get a scart through !

Pull the drawer out fully and then lift the front of it upwards to fully remove from the machine. Clean it and the recess in the machine fully. There is no reason for the drawer to leak other than an obstruction due to caked detergent as kbdiy describes.
