Hiya guys, i am wanting to take a spur off a socket in the bedroom, there is only one socket in the room and i wanted to create another one, when i took the cover off there are three wires going into each connection, one of them has been used to take power into the adjoining bedroom for a...

Its not what he wants, its what the members want, and the members have unanimously decided they want the party to move back to the left from where it came, the party has been taken over by tory lights, and now the members are saying we have had enough, we want socialists to lead us, not tories...

This Tory government must be one of the worst governments we have had in decades, how they keep getting voted in is beyond me.. So lets look at the facts, the Tories have cut the Police force by about twenty thousand, and now they are saying they are going to increase the numbers and we are...

perhaps if he gives it a tap it will show if its solid or box wood

I came home from a weekend away, i left the heating on a low setting as the house was a very old and a cold one, when i got home my kitchen floor was covered in water, the external condensate pipe had frozen and the water backed up, the condensate pipe joint under the boiler leaked and allowed...

Does the radiator get hot? if not the valve may be seized it may want a slight tap to free it, does it need bleeding? wamr at the bottom cool at the top? if the whole of the radiator gets hot but the room is still not hot enough, perhaps replace the radiator with a larger one.

Hiya guys, i am thinking of putting some insulation boards on the inside of an external wall, but i have a couple of questions that are puzzling me, firstly i read that the boards are fixed to batons fastened to the wall, leaving a gap behind them, the gap increases the thermal effect, is that...

Thanks John...i hear you mate, but its my son in law, and i have actually given him my heat gun to use, but to be honest, watching him use it is fooookin painful, he just fannies about way too much, i could have done the skirts in about three hours, and i am loathsome to do it for him, i just...

Hiya Guys, I am wanting to help a friend take about 20 coats of paint off his very old skirting board, which is the best brand to use?, and will it take it all off in one go? i tried Nitromorse many years ago and wasn't overly impressed with it, any advice anyone?

i just think you have to be really careful, i asked a question about a multi tool cutter that i bought, i was taking an old wooden window out and planned using the multi tool cutter to take the frame out gently, a little piece at a time, i had a row of soldier bricks just resting on the old...

I am struggling to get my head round the idea of using a hand saw to cut out a wooden window frame in a wall, how do you do it? i mean, the blade will eventually hit the brickwork before it has fully split the wood, thats why i thought it may have been better going in with a multi cutter, or...

cheers Keith, i dont know much about them, i will find some vidoes and have a look, may take the cutter back and swap for one of these

would that really be better? wouldnt the backward forward motion smash against the brickwork?

Hiya guys.. I bought one of these https://www.screwfix.com/p/titan-tti701htl-18v-1-5ah-li-ion-cordless-multi-cutter/8058p to cut through an old wooden window frame, the last frame i took out was a nightmare, it took me ages to get it out, also i have to be careful as there is no lintel above the...

hmmm, that is one point of view, i didnt think i was asking too much though, i am just comparing it to thermostats what i have had in the past

I had a boiler fitted in March and the plumber fitted me a new room thermostat, its an ESI esrtp4rf, and its bloody rubbish, its supposed to have all that singing and dancing technology that keeps the heating at the right temperature, but i noticed that if i set the temp at 20c, then it doesn't...
