Surely gods dog would have been the first dog, so there would have been no need to further identify the creature past species. Therefore, I postulate that gods dog was indeed called "DOG" Of course, we must not forget the main difference here, dogs exist.

Not everywhere. I asked my local BC before I built my conservatory because I wanted to use the fake tile sheets that they use on some posh caravans, in this area you still have to have a transparent roof to get the exemption. I went for polycarb and just put a batton and plasterboard ceiling...

Hi all, We are currently with BG for gas and electric, I find these latest price hikes a bit of a bitter pill to swallow so I rang them up and asked about the fixed price deals, they were more than happy to fix my prices until 2015 AT THE NEW PRICES!!! So obviously I told them where to stuff...

While I don't know your background or knowledge base, I mean you no offence when I say the following. Please don't feck about with Li-ion batteries unless you really know what you are doing. Those things can go with a hell of a bang if you get the charging circuit wrong. I have been an...

Hi all last summer I ripped out our heating system and replaced with a combi boiler, went for a big (ish) one to get a nice high flow rate for a good shower. Currently have a 9.5KW electric shower, but I have never found them to be that great compared to running off a combi. The bathroom was...

You can still get the dial types, they have em in Screwfix for around 20 quid, but most require a 3 wire connection as the need a neutral as well. Your picture looks like you only have a 2 wire type so a digital battery one will save you having to run new cables. Reasons I went for digital...

I did my own last summer. Pulled out the old open vent system and replaced with combi, changed all the nasty rats mess of microbore that was kinked everywhere and seemingly held together with araldite for 15mm copper, replaced about half of the rads, added a towel rail, added TRVs to all...

I could be wrong as I'm no expert, but it looks to me as you have a 2-wire jobby there. No neutral connection, just the live and switched live (+earth of course). If this is the case I would say one of the battery powered 2-wire things would be your easiest option as most dial thermostats I have...

Got one of these http://m.screwfix.com/p/horstmann-centaurstat-7-room-thermostat/12157 Mainly because of the good reviews and it looks simple to install.

Handy, yes, but not worth the 80 quid difference in the price between that and the one I ended up going for. The dial stat I currently have is a 3 wire jobby (plus earth) Live, switched live and neutral. The one I have got is a 2 wire jobby requiring just the live and switched live. Powered...

Ooooh, This function I like !!!!!!!

I consider myself a competent person, but don't take any chances when it comes to gas. My family is precious and I wouldn't want them to be exploded. The guy that did the final gas fitting and commissioning of the system complemented me on the install and how neat it was. I did practise the...

Bit of background first, Question at the end if you don't want the story... We bought this house at the start of last summer, was built in the 80's and I think still had the original boiler which the previous owner had serviced by BG annually. due to the age of the thing, and a wife that was...

Thanks all. I knew it would work, just wasn't sure if a junction box behind a blanking plate behind a fridge would be classed as "accessible" according to the regs. I actually qualified as a sparky many years ago, but never went into it as I stayed on at college to do electronics and then...

Yup, but the boss says she does not want the kitchen light switch in the dining room.

I thought about this first, but is it ok to just have a bit of choc-block or similar floating about inside the old patress with a blanking plate over it? I was hoping one could get a nice junction box type thing that would sit nicely onto the patress. It is only a stud wall, so hiding the...

Hi all, My lovely wife recently decided we need a new fridge, admittedly we had to keep giving the old one a good boot to stop it from making odd "moo-ing" sounds, so I reluctantly agreed she could order one. So, Saturday morning, the new fridge arrived, after removing the fridge/freezer...

I tend to watch BBC news, Russia today and Al-jazera. I think that is the only way to get a truly balanced view of the news.

BG were forever trying to change our monthly payments for no reason, when they wanted to increase the monthly payment by 12 quid even though we were almost £500 in credit, I just stopped the payment altogether. I make my meter readings online and then pay the exact amount for that months...

I have done my research and opted for toughened double glazed units. I got samples of polycarbonate and acrylic, but didn't like them as much as glass. Big-all, the walls are hardwood and contain 4" polystyrene insulation (2 x 50mm sheets). The floor also has polystyrene insulation. There is...
