Unfortunately the dg industry is riddled with crooks and bodgers. Don't be misled by the big names who advertise a lot as, even though the product may be ok, they may sub-contract the work to someone who hasn't got a clue about correct fitting. The best deal can be from someone who works on...

Jon, 20mm plastic electric conduit makes a good sleeve for 15mm pipe to go through wall. Stocked in B&Q.

tech advised: That's really useful advice on a diy forum. Any other tips 'tech'?

This may be worth looking at.

kendor: Not me no - it's all those planes in the sky! When I buy logs I make sure to ask if a new tree is planted for every one that is chopped down. This makes the wood CO2 neutral because the growing tree absorbs more CO2 than is released when burned. Burning wood can be very environmentally...

I really am serious about solid fuel. I've got a stove that burns coal or wood and has a back-boiler that heats the water and 2 radiators that total 7.5kW. It's a gravity system so no pump, diverter valves or room stat to go wrong. It's 24 hours heating even if there's a power cut. Read all...

Are you a Jehovah's Witness Paul?

Perhaps those air bubbles are a good thing then? :lol:

I've had this Alto one for a few years and chose this make because a mate of mine had one for years with no problems. One good point is the pump is metal, as some are plastic. It's 110 bar pressure but I think most are over 100 bar. The current version of mine (E5350)is 120 bar pressure. You...

Those faces of yours - brilliant :lol:

Same here, no unnecessary paperwork but lots of air. This box was 75% air!

The opinion of a well respected Corgi registered Heating Engineer(Kev) on this subject was:

kendor: Sounds a good idea but there's not much left after the thing's gone bang?

Best start this one again.

It always was expensive though. Get yourself a woodburner and a chainsaw.

I placed an order last Fri for 30 items - £100+, and it was delivered this morning with no mistakes. I was a bit reluctant to risk it after mistakes on my previous order before Xmas, but it looks like normal service resumed then.

I've used carpet tiles twice. The first time, I used Heuga tiles and although more expensive there were no joins visible. The second time, I was doing a house to sell and had been offered some cheap ones. The joins showed with the pile all in the same direction so I turned each adjacent tile...

...and a quick answer. Harris 12" medium roller on extension pole; don't mess about on a pair of step ladders.

That was a good tip from Kev, I didn't know that one. If you've got a new motor there is no need to take the head off though, so no need to drain down even if it's the older non-sealed valve.
