To all that responded. We contacted the age concerned, who then contacted the local authorities. After several phone calls the local council have now said that we can go ahead and fit a shower and that we should not have been told otherwise. Great news! Many thanks for all your feedback.

We spoke to the social dept about these walk-in baths, however they said, they did not recommend them, they are going to send someone round to look at the situation. Can't see that offering any money to the freeholder would help, this property is going to be in our family for at least 115...

Hi Softus. Believe me, we have talked to her about an alternative home, but she has lived at this address for over 30 years. Even though she can hardly walk, she is still very much alert, very independent and firmly set in her old ways with exceptional good health. She can still manage to...

Help. Was hoping to remove a bath and fit a shower at my 86 year old disabled mothers home, she can-not no longer climb in/out of a bath, even with assistance. Just for the record, she owns a 125 year lease from the local council. However, the local council said NO-WAY would we get...

Hi Thermo. Yes mate, We have just sold our house, got about two weeks left here and we are buying a boat to live on for a few months each year throughout the summer. The loft we have been working on is at my mothers home, which is a small private one bedroom flat. It was a house, but is...

Thermo. We will be sleeping up there at times when the sea is cold and rough, so would like it nice and warm in the winter, or we may as well stay on-board and freeze.. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Kev, I will get some info tomorrow all about the system, and post again once i know.

Kev, i honestly don't know anything much about it, but there is NO tank, well at least not a separate one, so i guess it must be a pressurised unit.

Sorry Kev, do you need more info?? if so what do you need to know and i will try and find out tomorrow. This is at my mums home so i don't know offhand what make/model etc the C/H is. Thanks for the speedy feedback.

Why doesn't the heat from the rooms below our loft hatch rise up into the loft when the hatch is open?? While up in the loft, which i am working on it's freezing cold, yet at ceiling hight just below the loft hatch theres nice warm air that hits you when standing on the ladder. I know that...

Hello. Have almost finished lagging and boarding out my loft, which after all the work and added insulation is still very cold, in-fact not much warmer then it was before i started. Question. Could i fit an additional radiator up there from the Central heating system which is in a room...

i have got two largish boulders in my garden, left by the previous owners. I would like to use these as a centre piece among the plants and was told that they would look better if they had some "Mind your own business" flower on them. What kind of flower is it? or can you suggest something that...
