    Advice on combi boiler make/model

    Sorry yes I meant flow rate. I opened the kitchen tap up and filled a 15 litre bucket in 55 seconds. After reading around, I think the 30kw would be most suitable. The vaillant looks good, and agree, its not cheap! Are there any other worthy 30kw options? Thanks

    Exterior Wooden Building

    OK, so I have some new sketches, I hope they aren't too hard to work out. Having realised my near brainless mistake of having 6m lengths of wood, I have now reworked the plans. I have incorporated most peoples suggestions and important structural improvements. For the roof (Image 1), I...

    Exterior Wooden Building

    Ossy, you are completely right! How stupid, the thought never occurred to me that i had put a 6m ridge beam in! I will have to make some major adjustments to the roof! JohnD, excellent point about ducts for power and water, etc. If there is a DPM under slab, and i put a strip of DPM...

    Exterior Wooden Building

    Some nice pictures there! I like the idea of the little hatch doors to get access to the roof storage! Ok, so i will do some work on the roof plans to strengthen it and post a drawing soon. I have not yet fully investigated the restrictions to avoid planning permission. Are they...

    faulty wiring, or bt's fault?

    I've had my house rewired, and I am having problems with the telephone socket, apparently after BT have reactivated it. I'm not sure if it is BT or the electricians fault. I can't get hold of either at moment suprisingly! Inside the master socket, there are 2 seperate cables, with...

    American socket in a bathroom....

    OK, so I think I'm getting somewhere now! So how would the isolating transformer option work? Is this connected directly to consumer unit? via a fused spur? does it appear as a 2 pin socket on wall? Thanks

    American socket in a bathroom....

    Ok, the bathroom is only small, roughly 2.5-3 metres wide by 3 metres long. So the options of waiting till January would not work then? I think this is some sort of special hairdryer you can't get in the UK (wierd eh). So if it had to be 110v supply, a socket could be fitted with an...

However, his wife is from the US, and she seems insistent that she wants to use her american hairdryer...
