Thanks fo all input. It's not the fruit bushes acting as fence panels and giving the posts too much demand that concerns me. They won't, as you say, make anything like the sail that a panel could. Its that the posts are constantly being pulled at 90 degrees to their normal load direction...

Hetas; stoves have one of two ratings for the heat they project from their underside; over 100c and under 100c. Re your query and one of the options- slate over wood- your stove would have to be the sub 100c underside temp, to be sat on slate which is sat on wood. Stoves that are sub 100c...

I think we deserve it.

Just set a pair of 9' posts into the ground at the allotment, 3' deep in concrete. Plan is to bolt 1" x 1.5" batten into the slot that the fence panel usually slides into. Same opposite side. Then with screw eyes and turnbuckles I'll strain 4 horizontal wires across for wife's fruit bushes to...

Blimey, if it's that deep it'll be pretty strong. So maybe, yeah, mortar then a sealant. Or maybe just mortar, if its falling away from your floor sufficiently....i.e., If you have standing water you obviously need utterly impervious materials to hold the water- as it's got to evaporate itself...

Ah! I see! Thanks for clarifying that. No chance we got that from the first one. I have read they can often 'go'/short after a very long spell dormant, but these were the aluminum cased types filled with oil. Where can you get them from, other than online. Put feelers out for knackered tumble...

Good! It's all a bit amateur ish, but given that they (caps) might just fail, I can go ahead and buy a replacement instead of having to find a/the fault that killed the cap'. Thinking of getting this one...

Thanks both. For the cost of a punt on one of these v's replacement item, it's a no brainer to have a go at.... even if it pops the next one too. Anyone know why it might have happened? Do cap's just die? Juicer is about 10 years old and had just come out from a very long non-use period. As I...

Second this...;making your position crystal clear.. and yes as others have said tell them also that you will be making a social media stink over this too. IMHO, it's not a matter of right to do 'x' or 'y', but that your reasonable expectation was competent service, which obviously you have only...

I am an expert at overthinking, procrastinating, and being wrong... So with that out of the way... More pics please, from further away and from the side... and what's the rubber strip to the RHS? What kind of coverage is there from eaves? Is this exposed to driving rain? Is there a fall going...

If anyone can help with this, we'll save a packet and get this juicer working again. I hoped this would be a simple replacement/switch over job... https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/546361/Oscar+Vitalmax+Juicer.+Smoked.+ID+this+capacitor+please Thanks for taking the time.

Hi and thanks for your interest... Short version- Pro's and cons, please of removing a concrete drive and replacing with a gravel drive.... Longer version- We have a 1930's semi with a concrete drive going along the side of the house from the back to the front and going to meet the road. It...

This is long! Very LONG. I shan't be checking in regularly to find out what everyone thinks, I just need to get it off my chest and put a flag in the ground for anyone else with such problems. I hope it helps. Please also note that this is my understanding of the regs as worked out along the...

ct1!

Material appears to be natural stone which is eroding. Nothing much to worry about. Just getting wet and freezing, then sun etc etc. Leadworking is not easy to get to look very good if you are new to it. Alternatively you could apply some WT1....

Dehumidifier in smallest room available, with clothes on drying rack. Set D' to turn off at chosen humidity level. Desiccant type will increase temperature slightly and will work very well in low temperature areas.

I would say the best long term option would be to get it covered in lead. Code 4. A layer dressed over then with a flashing strip let into the mortar join two bricks up. Like this image, but really lead, not GRP! https://www.lbsbmonline.co.uk/epsom-flat-lead-effect-roof-grp-door-canopy

Pics outside, pics inside. No idea what the run out of money bit means... Is your floor suspended timber throughout, or mix of concrete and suspended timbers?

Are you installing this yourself or with a Hetas certified installer? What are the specified clearances from combustibles given by your stove manufacturer?

Providing the roof works- sheds water, and this beyond the walls/down gutters and away, there should be little water going down the exterior of the walls. The cracks in the wood seem typical of what wood does with age, so either an oil or a paint will add a little to the mix, by helping the...
