    Well, there are some strange people about. Keep us posted. We like a mystery.

    I sourced that example from a 'Velux Approved Installer' website. I'll find the image for you.

    I'd like to fly a pair of panties from my flagpole, but the connotations of that are just strange. Lol

    I say screw the connotations (over which you have no control) and just do what you feel is right!

    Flag dynamics

    Proscribed terrorist organisations are listed on the UK government website. Alongside the name of each of these evil entities you'll find multiple reasons for their inclusion on said list.

    Okay... Joey from Friends... trying to explain the meaning of a 'moo' (moot) point. You suggested that the English flag shouldn't be flown because it has been adopted by 'far right thugs' BUT you CAN fly a flag that has been adopted by a proscribed terrorist organisation... who have killed and...

    Extension condition question

    I stripped our old oil boiler system out last year and fitted an ASHP. We've used every type of boiler in the different houses we've renovated over the years and honestly, we really do prefer the ASHP system. You'll read lots of negative stuff about them, but it's a case of horses for courses...

    Is there water in those old header tanks? Some plumbers just leave them there after putting a combi in.

    What can I do about this?

    I agree. I think the movement of those two bricks has pulled the lead away from the mortar joint - although it looks as if the lead wasn't bedded in deep enough to start with. Mortar or lead mate wouldn't usually give out like that. I want to know if that brick protrusion extends down to the...

    Oh you'll pay for it one way or another! Lol

    Extension condition question

    Looks like two header tanks insulated with polystyrene sheets? If so, one is for the central heating and the other will supply the hot water storage cylinder. I can't quite see the gas boiler, but this looks to be a fairly standard setup. Unless those tanks are empty and obsolete, we know it's...

    Extension condition question

    The previous owner of our house had central heating installed after securing a grant. The 'workmanship' was truly horrible.

    Yes, imagine a world where people who work are better off than those who don't! How terrible! I'm literally crying right now.

    Cut into live mains cable with metal stanley knife..

    But for the grace of God... So many stories of close shaves! I have an angle on this: Every 'little' accident or a close call serves as a visceral reminder to take more care in future; not only for the person involved, but for everyone they tell about it. This thread has evolved in a good way...

    Literally nobody is saying that. Fly the flag, or don't fly the flag. Just never tear down the flag of the country you live in. If you're really that disillusioned, just leave. Go find that utopia.

    OSB keeps the Tyvek flat, which helps to shed water over the eaves protectors. Usually you'd leave the Tyvek (VPM) to sag slightly between the rafters to act as a water channel, but with a very low pitch between 10 and 20 the water doesn't run fast enough and can build up in folds and creases...
