    Are you seriously suggesting i should expect to replace a boiler every 5-10 years? The engineer has already said the water tank and pipes etc are all very good and should keep.

    Replacing tumble dryer drum shaft spindle

    My Indesit G74V Dryer has a snapped spindle at the rear. I have ordered a replacement and it looks like i remove the belt and door collar and slide out the drum and bolt on the new spindle and pop it back in. Am I over simplifying this and are there any tips or nasties to watch for?

    Painting pebbledash (Dulux Weathershield Easyspray)

    Waste of time. Covers about 6sqm not 50sqm constantly clogs and needs so much pumping to get pressure its hopeless. Need two coats as well so the expense probably as much as getting a painter around. Bought a decent roller and now gonna try that.
