He admits his vaccinations won't be proven to either be effective or safe,so I'd not be rolling my sleeve up anyway.

Bill gates didn't vaccinate his own children,but wants everyone else on the planet to take his mystery injections? - No thanks.

It sticks out about 25mm,I'll glue and screw it then.Should I use PVA wood glue (because I have some) or is there a better option?

I'm looking for advice on how best to repair the split on my pine staircase? It's about an inch from the front edge and goes almost all the way across,but is still attached at each end,if I put my foot on it it opens up the split and looks like it might be ready to let go. Any repair ideally...

But then I'd be sticking the underlay to the old glue rather than the wood - seems risky.

I could use talc to make it easier to handle and nail the flooring to battens on my concrete floor. Seems like a plan. Thanks.

Hi, I won 40 square metres of solid oak flooring on Ebay,not nailed or glued but has 'Elastilon Basic' self adhesive underlay stuck to the underside. I can scrape most of it off with a paint scraper,but this leaves a layer of very sticky residue I don't know how to remove. Is there an easy way...

I'm hoping the plumber will find that the leak is in the gas fire and that we didn't smell gas because it went up the chimney.

Well the leak was said to be 6mb,but I can't see how he could have isolated the gas fire because the little chrome tap on the elbow is seized. There's been no smell of gas.

Many thanks.

I had a new gas meter installed,but when this work had been completed it turned out that there was apparently a gas leak on my side of the new meter :( The National Grid plumber isolated the appliances but the leak remained,so he declared my installation to be unsafe and cut off my supply -...

About 15years ago i put my spade through the pipe whilst digging a strip footing for a diy brick garage and the water trickled out clear but soon filled my trench. The water company sent out a camera team who said the pipe was blocked and looked like it was collapsed. I was advised to wrap...

Hi,There is a 6" clay pipe that ends in my garden that's been there probably for the last 60 years but is now giving me grief. I believe that this pipe was not intended to end in my garden,but when water company cameras were put into it some years ago it was found to end at my fence line...

If it'll upset Dan more I'll take the Combi boiler option with all new radiators,tanks all removed,boiler in airing cupboard and flue through the roof. Now that must cost thousands... :lol:

It's fairly obvious that my meaning was that I'd made an unwilling contribution to the estimated half million 'free' boilers already fitted under the current scheme. You appear to claim that you'd be paying for my new boiler if I choose to have one. What's the difference?

I think I've paid for one boiler. :)

How is it that you feel that you'd be paying for my 'free' boiler,and that I've not in fact paid for my own 'free' boiler Dan?

Pardon me,but my neigbours have already had their free boilers,whyever should I feel guilty about considering one? Haven't I already paid for half a million 'free' boilers for other people?

My boiler is a Glow Worm Space Saver MKII and was installed by the council. I don't want a combi boiler because I know that they're unreliable,but I was hoping that a modern conventional boiler would be a better bet. It would also mean that I'd still have an electric immersion heater if...

Do they only make '****boxes' now?
