Hi Agile, It is on the flow, see the following picture about half way down the page for the type of tube I am talking about. http://www.yorkshirefittings.co.uk/fittings.cfm?brand=07&defsub=40 Maybe we are not talking about the same thing, but the flexible pipe which extends the flow out...

Thanks for your replies, a trip to B&Q and a play about with a few bits and pieces has led me to the following solution which will provide a nice neat finish and no need for trailing microbore which will just get damaged. I will leave the existing radiator tail connected to valve then connect...

Thanks for your reply, the twin entry valve is located such that I can not mount the towel radiator in the middle because the radiator would then be partly behind the toilet bowl. I wanted to avoid running a pipe along the wall if possible as it is likely just to get knocked with the hoover etc...

I have a microbore system which uses a 2 pipe system with the mistral valves, so just one entry point to radiator. I would like to fit a towel warmer in the bathroom but as all that I can find have the pipe entries at the bottom, I need an elbow to connect to my mistral valve. All radiator tail...

You need a glyphosate based weed killer (Roundup), this type of weedkiller take the chemical into the plant and down to the roots. Therefore killing the source. The trouble with pathclear and weedol and similar is that they only kill the top growth. Fine with minor weeds where their roots...

Mulching is using some organic matter, composed tree bark or well rotted manure, to cover ground to hold in the moisture. Therefore limiting evaporation and allowing as much moisture as possible to be used by the trees. Smaller plants will often reach the same level in 5 years as larger...

Firstly, I would not worry about them growing more quickly as they will soon be out of hand and beyond control. However, your choice and so I will offer some advice. What you need to do is give them some fertiliser and mulch them. Gromore fertiliser will do, or any other balanced fertiliser, 2-3...

Did the whole tree start to turn brown together or did it seem to move across the tree from one starting point? Do the leaves look like they have been burnt? If the answer to both of these questions is yes, then remove the offending tree, pick up all leaves etc that you can from around the...

As DIYISFUN said, burn it, but you will probably have to wait until the autumn, because as you have found it is relatively 'green' at the moment and so creating a lot of smoke. The other way to do it so that you can get at the roots is to use a bow saw or pruners to cut through all the stems...

Also with sleepers, if you want a cleaner look, then you can drill through each one and insert a concrete re-enforcer bar down through the sleepers and concrete that into the ground. Bit like a big lego set :D Alternatively you can lay them upright on their end and concrete them in, see...

Stump grinding is definitely worth it, had about 20 of the devil's work in my garden. Was able to plant straight into the soil after and the added benefit on my clay was that the soil was effectively dug over by the machine and chipped bark incorporated which opened it up and improved the...

Where are you in the country? I know it has been dry, but holes you can fall down :shock: Now that is dry. As Thermo says, what it really needs is water. But you could fill the cracks with some good screened topsoil. Even better would be some John Innes No2 which will give some grit in the...

I would agree, nothing worse than penny pinching. Bottom pinching, now that is something else :lol: Maybe what we should advise is that as a 40mm stone is quite big, a sample bag as modermaterials suggests may not be a bad idea. However he did ask for an equation, but if he gets a sample...

Well, modernmaterials, apart from the fact that I did not read his second post and missed that he was using underlay, I do not see that my post is not informed. How do you know that I am not a qualified landscaper with 10 years experience, which I am, incase you do not get it. For your...

In general most materials in bulk bags take up 0.75m3. Does not matter the size of the stone etc. Therefore you can then work out the area that it will cover depending upon the thickness you go for. I would suggest that 25-40mm depth is required, try to go for the 40mm end if you can. It will...

Hi Securespark, I believe you :-) I had looked at that product, on tlc, but had not come accross the technical information, probably did not look properly. The switch has 4 connections, I believe. I have contacted Dimpull for further info and will post it here so that you can have the info...

duly noted and changed, it will teach me to be zany Thanks and sorry Andrew

Hi RF, thanks for that, that should do the trick, just nicely. Can I ask which rule I have broken, is it to do with replying to my own post? Don't want to get into trouble, how should I have gone about it? Also, despite what my flag might say, I am in the UK, just picked Tanzania when I...

How expensive and how? Not so bothered about it coming on at peak voltage, just would be an added nice touch. Would just like to able to dim the lights sometimes and have a fan come on with one switch. I have just had a thought, it would only be occasional that we would want to dim the...

Hello All, I would like to know if it is possible to get a suitable dimmer switch or wiring set-up that will allow for the following. With both the lights and the extractor controlled with one switch. Lights in bathroom on a dimmer switch and the extractor coming on when the lights are...
