    lintels advise

    Yes lintels. I used spell check and did not read. What you need to know? As I understand faceing bricks are upright along the top of the window and are wedged together at a slite angle, so if presure is put ontop of them the just get tighter. So why would they move?

    Thermostat on water tank not working

    The heating coil connection is at the top of the tank. The whole tank is insulated with some sort of foam. The only areas of tank I can touch is on the top and 2/3 of the way down when the thermostat is removed. Dont know temperatures of pipes, too hot to handle anyway. Boiler flow temperature?
