All up and running as it should be! Thanks again.

To be fair it was me that had disconnected that wire before I took the picture!

Really -as simple as that? And yep the wiring is fairly crappy looking! My inner OCD may kick in when I do it and tidy them up a bit! Many thanks!

Hi all,am after some advice about wiring Hive heating controls in to replace existing Drayton control system. Heating is I believe Y plan with seperate hot water tank and 3 port valve. I understand the Hive receiver is a straight forward clip in to existing backplate. I'm not sure about how to...

There's plenty of different options about- Firestone, rubber4roofs etc. Google is your friend. The water based adhesive is for the main deck and the contact adhesive is for the perimeter/edges of the roof.

This has been happening to me this weekend as well? Only have an iPad at home so don't know whether it is the same on a PC as well? It doesn't happen on every thread that I click on though!

It might be a bit of a trek from yours but Southgate Timber do hardwood decking and cedar bits and pieces and some other sawn hardwood. Based in Essex near Ongar. Might be worth a call. http://www.southgatetimber.co.uk

Hi all, I'm about to start my decking project using hardwood. I know I have to use stainless screws for the boards - any advice / recommendations for which type to use. I've seen the Spax ones but they seem fairly expensive - are they worth the extra cost? Or is there an equivalent...

Only 8?? If you get creative with couple of old bits of wood,you can get at least 12 in there!! :D

Looking to buy some granite paving (approx 30 sq m). Have seen some on Nustone that's pretty keenly priced. It's 20mm thick which seems a little thinner than the likes of Marshall's/bradstone etc. Is 20mm a reasonable thickness? And any reviews/ experiences with Nustone from people on here...

Only counts as a connection if you're making a connection to the actual sewer. If you're adding it before your soil pipe joins the sewer then as far as I can see you don't need to alert the relevant water company.

We recently had our floor sanded after discovering it was hidden under the carpet in the house we bought last year. It cost us about 300 I think to get a guy into do it. It's finished with a satin junckers coat if I remember rightly. [/img]

A fork?

You need one of these! http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=T5WO9nulOXc&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DT5WO9nulOXc

So you've got an 800k house that you paid circa 350k to have built. You freely admit you screwed the builder around from the very beginning and now you're crying that he is being 'horrible' and wants 6k to give you the warranty that he paid for despite the fact you know he put extra thousands in...

We really need this smilie added to the others available! http://www.sherv.net/cm/emoticons/fighting/bash-head.gif

yep as I understand it you shutter off the footings either side of the pipe and pour your concrete so that it doesn't go near the pipe and the lintel then bridges the gap. Thats how I've understood it - I could be wrong but thats why I'm paying someone else to make sure its done correctly!!

Just in the process of doing similar - building inspector has said to just lintel over where the pipe is. Also said he was happy for us to place footing as close as we liked to either side of the pipe but we will leave a reasonable gap just to be safe. You'll have to check with your local water...

Thanks for the quick reply. So would it be cheaper to just use 'normal' insulation and overboard it rather than the td126 that comes ready made as such?

Apologies for jumping in but thought I would post in here rather than start a new topic about the same thing. I'm having a warm deck on a new extension- drawings have specified the celotex td126 which has a 6mm ply facing that the epdm can be adhered to - it doesn't sound particularly...
