    How to increase ventilation in my shallow crawl space.

    As an amateur, I would change the dwarf walls to increase airflow, might be as simple as knocking some brick out between joists, or there might be areas where you need to take them down further to create openings. ...make sure I removed any rubbish that has built up under the floor, make sure...

    Octopus Agile - A Current Tariff For Every Household?

    My experience is that unless you've got a charger that can integrate its behaviour with Agile, AND can charge at rates under a kW (rare as unicorn teeth, tbh), you're almost certainly going to be better off on Go

    Plug spinning in hole!

    Do you know what the construction of the wall is? My guess, and it is just a wild guess, is that it's (from the wall surface inwards) tile, plasterboard, stud frame with void in between, brick/stone. To clear up the size confusion, the suggestion is that you've drilled the hole too big...

    Ensuite renovation, first time for every single thing needing done

    Speaking as an amateur who has installed a wetroom, something to consider when changing from an enclosure to a wetroom is whether the current connection from the shower outlet to the drain is low enough. Otherwise it can involve finding a way to connect to the drain lower down, which can...

    Flue: to fill or not to fill

    Just to throw something else in here: We had a steel flue installed on the advice of the sweep. The burner had worked better without it. I think it's worth weighing up the pros and cons of not installing a flue, particularly if you've stonework which needs drying out. A flue is often not a...
