In short, is there a controller on the market that will allow me to utilise a wood burner boiler instead of the oil boiler, and vice versa. So at the flick of a switch I can isolate the oil boiler, and keep the pumps running for my wood burner boiler. Would it be easier to configure a...

The copper part being pointed to by the red arrow. The bottom pipe comes from my oil boiler, the middle one is to the pump, the top one disappears in my ceiling somewhere. Thanks.

Well, in the end I got a new DW745-GB table saw in 240v for £350, and, I also got a 2nd hand DW708 mitre saw with stand, in 240v for £350 too. Happy with prices, took a lot of looking around.

Thanks, that's the kind of info I wanted. Mainly because it works out cheaper than 2 individual machines. It is for DIY use, I'm just going to be doing minor renovations, maybe make some furniture. Unless I can find 2 machines for around the same price and equal or better quality. (A...

I would like a sliding mitre saw, and being a die hard Milwaukee user it pains me to look elsewhere, but my father in-law had a Dewalt sliding mitre saw for years, being used loads too. The D27112 also incorporates a table, allowing it to be used as a table saw too. Which would save me a...

Hmmmm, thanks guys (I think). But, still waiting for a 'real' idea involving a slider/rollers/rails.

Yeah, but they are fixed in position. I want to adjust room(s) size(s) not open up to one room. Thanks. The precise scenario is this: One side will be the little used dining room, the other side is the mostly used Gym. When we have the relatives around at Xmas, the gym can be 'shrunk' by...

Hi, I wanted to segregate a rectangle room with a simple stud wall. There is a door at each end of the room, and I thought it would be nice to be able to move the partition wall on rare occasions it is required. It would only need to be moved 600mm max. Any ideas on how to achieve that? It...

I spoke with the tech' department of the manufacturer. A helpful chap explained how it works. The threaded pipe coming out the tank is loose & only held in place by the locking nut, the nut is sealed from the factory and torqued. The other end of the tube is fixed in position by only the...

I'm at my mothers house and her hot water tank has developed a leak. We called for the emergency plumber through her insurance policy. The leak was originally on the compression fitting, the plumber tried to 'nip-up' the fitting, but in doing so created a 2nd leak. The 2nd leak is from the...

Thanks for the inspiration guys, I have decided on a variation of the pictures above. Will post pics when it is done in a few months :D

Thanks, that is good :)

No matter what it is, I'll be doing it myself! Not looked at new sleepers, old ones are about £25 each, which would be too much I think.

I want to change my garden/drive. The existing garden slopes - I want it more flat & want also to gain some drive way space. The 2 pictures show it now & what I'm after (use manhole with red circle as reference point) Is there any alternative to concrete block - that won't cost me a...

I looked in to this..... Unfortunately it is too modern in appearance. I will look into these, did not know they were available - good idea, thanks. However, in the mean time I modified it. After testing with my Fluke. The 'link' in the red circle, takes the switch output straight...

I have a 'Hamilton Litestat' push on/off, twist to dim, dimmer fitted. I cant find a suitable on/off replacement for it. (brass 3 gang, double backplate) Is it possible to adjust something on this unit (pictured) to remove dimming ability? Many thanks.

It was installed 3 years ago, but due to the service people ripping me off I decided to do the servicing myself for the last 2 years (Don't worry - I'm an engineer). Just solved it however, it was PH riser media blocking the carbon filter. Must not have flushed it through enough. :roll...

I have a bore hole system, which flows from the submerged pump, through filters and PH risers into the pressure vessel. I was getting the RCCB trip this I think was water in a junction box above the bore hole. (I have a spare capacitor to change also, if this problem persists) To make sure...
