okok, this post HAS helped me a great deal.. From these posts I went from a boiler that was running Hot/Stone Cold to a boiler that is much much better. I also understand more about them which I see as a good thing. Sometimes its not just about the boiler, but its about the learning path I've...

Thanks Tony, I can get hold of some electronic paste (I guess its the same) I will try that. (i'm assuming the sensor is the one clipped to the pipe) will check up in the manual. Alex.

Hi Guys, All has been well with the boiler fan since I applied a little grease to the flow switch. We are now running a mixer tap from the boiler as the electric shower has now been removed. During full water output with the stat turned to a quarter, the output temperature for a shower is...

went for a bosch SDS Plus 220. Used it to chisel out half a fence post so far its great! will look forward to getting the extension wall to play with.. thanks again for all your advice.

Went for a Bosch SDS-Plus 220. It was absolutely brilliant. I drilled some holes to weaken the area and then went for it with the chisel bit. Loved every minute 8) I had assumed the drill would vibrate like a normal hammer action, but it was quite pleasant to use (after I located my ear...

Has anyone had any experience of fitting a; Direct Showers : DG900-13 Shower enclosure 900 x 900 x 2200mm Its a shower cabin with mixer and countless jets for £595 inc VAT. I was going to fit my own tray then tile etc, but I am thinking that this may be better at avoiding leaks and faster...

I know what you mean about the doors, I have the exact same problem! thanks for your inputs guys.

thanks guys, I think I will go for it..

I have a wooden fence post which acts to secure a closed gate. I want to sink a concrete post directly next to it without taking it out. I am thinking of buying a Bosch PBH 220 RE SDS drill with chissel. Would this tool be suitable to help me remove half of the existing concrete base at...

I'm thinking of buying a walk in shower enclosure, the type with a curved entry glass with wooden insert in the "dry-ish" area. (about £400) Does anyone have an opinion of these? I don't know anyone who has one. I'm wondering if they work well to keep the water in, plus do you get any drafts...

I have just bought a couple of low energy bulbs. On the GE box, it states that they are not for use with use with dusk till dawn and time switches. Does anyone know of a technical reason for this? I looked on the net, but could not find anything.. thanks, Alex.

It will (mostly) be blockwork, so I guess it will go through like butter. I have at least 20 channels to do, so I think from a time point of view, it should be worth while + it should look nice. (won't be showing the MRS this particular series of posts.. :wink: )

I AM the apprentice ..... :? I like the look of the routing machine! Need to talk to the Mrs to see if I am allowed to buy it. (She is in charge of dusting the house!). The extension has very few knock throughs, so a bit of dust would be ok. Thanks for all your advice! I didn't realise...

Thanks for the info. Am I right in thinking that you would need a SDS Drill for this tool, or could it be used manually with a hammer? I have a hammer drill, but you can't turn off the rotation.

What is the best way to chase out channels for electrical conduit into Blockwork? Chisel, Chain Drill, Circular Saw, Router??? I have no clue.. I want a quick method, but I also want it to be tidy (and safe) thanks, Alex.

thanks.. Alex

Hello. I have carried out some timing. The Fulcrum arm rod came out in about 4 seconds, and took about the same time to go back. The newly discovered (sorry about that), flow switch popped out quite quickly. On the way back, took a couple of seconds. One observation was that on the way...

Hello All, I am having a go at designing the electrical layouts for my extension. Hall and Living Room on ground floor, then Bedroom with bathroom on 1st. Would it be ok to have one new ring for sockets and one new for lighting to cover the whole extension? (seperate circuits to existing...

I always worry about getting the correct lubrication. I didn't do anything to the fan bearings just in case. I guess if you get it wrong, it can attract muck and end up clogging what ever you are trying to protect. I do have some high/low temperature silicone grease. its consistency is much...

ahh, I think i've been looking at the DHW Microswitch... I've re studied the diagram and can now see that it is at the bottom. I must admit, I've never noticed it in operation. I will check out the connections and operation. thanks John. PS, water still ok since yesterday.. Mrs very happy...
