my stepdaughter 29 tells me her generation prefer the idea of renting. I put it to her that was only because buying was so difficult. Maybe if you have not experienced home ownership, its no big deal and renting is fine.

cack hole:eek: I was chuffed to bits lol nothing beats your first house:)

well thats a good point and I cant recall but I know rates are low now. But wouldnt it be prudent to think rates could during the life of mortgage be the same as 93 or are they going to be sub 5% for 20 yrs? edit between 5 and 6% in 1993

I researched this to death and ended up using Johnson Aqua white gloss. I did an interior door recently and it looks great but it has a different kind of gloss look to the oil based and I dont dislike it - looks kind of clean and bright. Seems to go on ok but not as flowing as the oil based, I...

I really feel for the young or even not so young people, the price of houses has gone way out of reasonable reach and I feel almost guilty having been able to buy ours having first bought back in 1993 before prices went stupid. To counter claims that it was as hard back then as now and how us...

thanks Muggles I guess thats the sensible conclusion. Only thing I would say is I cannot guarantee they havnt changed this gasket during the last 4 yrs of servicing as I don't stand over them watching but given what they said over the phone about it not being an instruction they would give as a...

thanks for replies.... ok I rang Valliant and they said it should be replaced at 5 yrs from install. I'm not going to use the people that said replace it as they were the original installers and I wasnt happy dealing with them at the time. I had a letter last week from them warning of this...

coming up to our 6th service for a Valliant Eco tec non combi boiler - one company is saying burner gasket should be replaced at 5 yrs from install date or theres risk of damage to the boiler "which is very expensive to repair" , another is saying it doesnt need to be replaced. They are both...

I'm wondering what the initial advertising says (wording) ie what you referred to when you were deciding what to buy. Definitely the order form is using manufacturers speak as mentioned in my previous post.

most makers are very careful in using the right language to describe raw materials if they are not solid wood but in such a way as to be not very clear to someone that isnt used to furniture terminology. For example "oak finish" does not mean made from solid oak. So it would be interesting to...

it needs to be stripped not sanded

I would never use a worktop with a straight edge to the front as that glue line is always a weak spot. delaminating within 4 mths its not fit for purpose no matter what anyone tells you. Dont replace replace like with like go for postformed rolled over edge where there are no joins and it will...

big horrible job for a DIY. That finish needs stripping not sanding. Modern strippers are near useless!

good on the OP for sharing, many would have slunk away licking their wounds literally! I have a healthy respect for power tools having been working with wood near 40 yrs and never had a really bad mishap. I've never used a hand held circular saw and never will. These grinders I no like either...

sorry deleted!

OP how long you keeping the van, I think it'll take ages for the ply to truly rot.....

its a bit of sticking plaster isnt it and not a good one at that it seems to me. I mention this subject as theres a campaign going on about condition of rental properties and damp and mould appear to be the main issues.

on the basis that IR heats objects eg walls, wouldnt they only be effective for controlling damp/ mould caused by condensation on walls if theres was one heater pointing at each wall. I mean to say if you have one heater somewhere it cannot heat all four walls at once. ....maybe I'm missing...

there are infrared heating panels being produced nowadays that promise to stop damp and mould inside the house caused by condensation due to drying clothes on rads etc. I don't need one but am party to a discussion about their effectiveness. My experience of infrared heating is the minute you...
