Hi all I am planning on putting a butler sink on the outside wall of the kitchen for cleaning out pots, etc for my wife and her green fingers. My problem is that i am unsure of how to support it adequately. I was planning on building 2 little walls from regular red house bricks - one for each...

Thanks again for your advice. You are right about the wife issue LOL If i could find a wireless Siemens with 6 temp changes i would be happy. Many thanks Huw

Thanks for your prompt comments guys. I'll be checking out the Honeywell - are they reliable? I read on another thread that Drayton and Honeywell were not considered as reliable as the Siemens offerings. But you guys who fit them will be far more informed than me. I don't 'need' more temp...

Hi All I currently have a Dreyton Digistat 3 (older version) hard wired to my boiler. I am keen to switch to a wireless system as my current unit is not ideally placed, but when spending in excess of 100 of my pounds i would like to understand the 'jargon' more fully. I have looked at the...

Many thanks for your advice. I have plenty of planks left over, but I would rather try the repair root first. Do you know of anyone in the Portsmouth area I could get in to do which ever option it needs? I am confident enough to lay the floor,but removing a plank is a bit much. I'm Chuffed to...

No chance of it coming up. It is fully bonded tongue and groove. Cheers. Huw

Absolutely gutted! :cry: Just finished and had to move an old matress out. There must have been a tiny imperfection in the finishing of the top surface and the material of the matress 'picked it up'. The result is a 100mm long lift which maxes out at about 20mm wide. I have bonded it with...

Thanks old un I'll check that out.

Thanks Nosall In fairness, i thought I was being quite specific about what I wanted the end result to look like. I'm no builder, so I'm not familiar with the tools required to achieve the end result, but they should have made me aware of the situation and possible costs and allowed me to make...

Thanks for the reply Nosall Not specifically as i didn't know that was what it was called. What I told them is that i wanted a flat floor that is smooth like a local kwik fit etc that I could jack up cars on trolly jacks with small 30-40mm wheels and be able to move them around with ease...

Hi all Just had my garage floor done, and it is no where near as good as i wanted. I spoke at length with the builders as to what i was looking for so there was no doubt. It is a 6 inch thick pour. How long should I wait before self levelling? What sort of product should I use? How much...

The big adjustable was the key - only took a few flexes and it just went. Thanks again Huw

I really hit it hard a few times, but it didn't break :( Any other ideas?? Thanks Huw

Ahh, so they just slide apart once the handles are off then? Thanks, i'll give it a go tomorrow night.

Hi all I have a UPCV door that is going into my garage. However, between me & my wife, we have managed to lose the keys by putting them 'in a safe place' :( How can I get the barrel out? Do i need to drill it, or is there another technique? Many thanks Huw

Thanks Deluks I have a Layland trade outlet just down the road. Thanks again Huw

ianniann, geegas, transam - thanks for your sensible comments to my question. My red dial does a full revolution in 40 seconds. 1092/40=27.3. A little high maybe and I have no intention of undoing anything. Many thanks Huw Boilerman2 - my attidude was a direct response to 2 very unhelpful...

No?? If gas is leaking at this sort of rate, where do you think it will be recorded? At the meter maybe? It's like you all think gas is an art - it's just basic gas flow and i'm just asking some basic questions, so if you are not prepared to answer them, please don't comment. It's not like...
