I must disagree with you there, you are missing the point. Indeed Energy can neither be created or destroyed etc (except in the form of a fission reaction i.e. the sun) however we are not talking about using electricity and converting it to hydrogen which then powers the engione to power the...

Ah it all becomes clearer now! Cheers

Sorry if I seem dumb, but I'm confused! So you have a tank of water with .7mm steel plates 1/8" apart connected to car batt. The pos- neu -neu- neg -neu-neu-pos bit confuses me. Cheers

Hi, Sorry I can't helpw with your query, but how did you go about making your fuel cell? Cheers

Thansk for your reply. I have read the topic you posted but this does seem different to my problem. Mine functions as it should, just too often. I must disagree with your temperature though.... According to Food hygiene regs the "Danger Zone" is between 5C and 60C and food should be...

Hi, I have the above Frost Free fridge freezer and havea small problem. My understanding of it's operation is that it does a 'defrost cycle' every now and again where the compressor and fans turn off and the evaporator (i think) at the back of the fridge and freezer compartments are...

Cheers for your replies. There will be a 'tunell' in drain pipe bedded into the floor to a surface drain to allow water to drain away. I'm not so bothered about damp rising in the dwarf wall so long as it doesn't affect the house/timber, so maybe after it's dryed I can paint a bitumen...

I'll try and make it slightly clearer than very gloopy mud! :) Currently I have a concrete back yard up to the house. I have constructed a lean to shelter at the rear of the kitchen (marked by the Red bit in the diagram) Now rather than building the walls as wooden framework down to...

No comments???? :(

Hi, I'm building a shed type lean to thingy on the end of my kitchen. At the moment I have the roof up and am looking at the walls now. The current yard (concrete) has a slight slope to the house. To keep wood from contacting the ground I was going to support the struts to the roof on a...

Thanks I'll check them out tomorrow.

Thanks for your reply, I had thought of using beech, any idea where I can get it from and what's the cost difference compared to normal softwood? Cheers, Ian

Hi, I'm looking to make sliding doors for built in wardrobes I'm building but I'm struggling on how exactly to do it. I can't buy any pre made etc as my ceilings are too high (11 feet) so they'll look silly. I was going to make a simple frame using PAR 3x2 with 2x1 cross pieces to divide...

It wasn't in Preston by any chance was it?? Looks familiar

Very concise and constructive reply there chrisey.... Thankyou :)

Hi, It's a Ravenheat HE85T. Got a few discounts from a friend.... £150 So can't complain.

This is all what my Corgi would be able to tell me what he's happy with me doing. I'm trying to get an idea of what is req'd etc. You seem to assume I am going to install everything then give someone a call and say "Could you just pop down and sign it all off and I'll wing you £50 for your...

No, hence I ask questions on a DIY forum for helpful advice! I could probably find them out as I would do before I do anything and obviously I'll have a chat with my Corgi who will want everything doing to spec....

Thanks for all your advice. Yes I do have gas fires and hob these come from the meter currently in 15mm. As the house only has 15mm in at the moment I was asking if 22mm would be sufficient from the meter. i.e. the existing 15mm feeds teeed as soon as the pipe leaves the meter. I have...

Thanks for your replies, I asked the questions on here before I ask a Corgi as I obviously don't want to put their nose out of joint.... I want to work with them and do as much as possible to save cash as it is very very tight at the moment! :( Is there anything obvious I've missed is...
