    Velux Dormer Windows

    Hi, does anyone have any experience of these? I've proposed them in our loft conversion but to date haven't found a single builder who's heard of them let alone installed.

    Polluted drinking water from Dishwasher

    Regsmyth - by disconnecting I just mean turning the blue lever. I know, it's a real thinker! I'm going crazy because we have a brand new dishwasher that we can't use unless we compromise having drinking water!

    Polluted drinking water from Dishwasher

    The taps are new, the dishwasher is new and as far as I know al the pipework is new. The first picture shows a close up of the copper pipe (I don't know if any soldering was involved). The second pic shows a close up of the 'black pipe' you saw through the hole. This is connected to the...
