As we were desperate for hot water - had a new wall mounted boiler fitted in the kicthen last oct. Regret had to fit onto the breeze block/brick and now want to plaster the rest around it. What's the best solution and should you = box in a boiler (the vent goes straight outside thro wall)...

it takes a while then - how long did it take for the plaster to dry ? AM not sure mine could live that long without an oven !

thanks - better sharpen that antique plane then

oops sorry

but why not tile the whole wall - then push bath up to it ? does it not stick ?

am not entirely sure its the neff but it always seem to happen when I'm cooking. Interesting though, it only started in december too. Weird tripping or should that be wired tripping ? Had the wiring done throughout 6 years ago - finding a spark not easy (on by budget!) thanks anyway :wink:
