That's true of every trade to be fair! Plumbing, heating, electrical, IT...... Some people were not born to fiddle with things, others can be competent!

:rolleyes:

I'll retrain as a robot engineer I think, hang it out a bit until the robots can fix themselves (y)

How long though before it just pings a repair drone and gets itself fixed.... Hoomans will become redundant eventually! o_O

Well my phone/watch already alerts people if I crash my bike, I'm hoping it calls my brother or 999 rather than an undertaker though haha

That's a very real possibility at ours too!! :ROFLMAO:

I love anything that automates and/or links to my iPhone! Have spent more money on Philips Hue than I care to admit, the fridge knows what's in itself, the bathroom scales now me better than I know myself (and reports online much to my dismay).... Connected world is getting scary complicated!

:censored: Sorry mate I was jesting.... I had a gen.1 Nest at my last house (y) Good bit of kit and will most likely be fitting a new one to my new place!

So what's a Nest then? I assume it's just a variostat?! :sneaky:

This is true. I think it depends on how an OP will take "advice".... If it's from a pro (say, an RGI here) then it is advice. If it's from a fellow user (a DIY'er here) then personally I would take that as an opinion or at least food for thought. Unfortunately there's always someone that will...

Very understandable.... I'm considered an expert in my field and spend a fair bit of time on industry forums; I empathise with the resident pro's having to deal with endless repetition, rude people and general idiots!

If that truly was his intention, then it's laughable why someone would even bother typing a comment just to be a child! I hope it's not though and that there was a hidden piece of helpful agenda in there as I've read lots of very helpful posts here but I guess there's always a few village idiots...

I hadn't really considered spraying them to be honest, I'm looking around for some nice wide designer rads and have found a couple now which are 1.8m no a lovely spread :-)

Sorry I don't understand your point there?! Are you saying vertical rads are a poor choice, that there is a large choice of wide black radiators or that I shouldn't go for 2 rads instead of 1? :confused:

I'm literally now looking at wide short ones.... But options are a little bit limited as I'm having black radiators, so it'll be more likely a dual vertical rad setup if anything. Currently the room has an ancient 2400x750 (or its imperial equivalent) single panel radiator underneath the bay...

Thanks Agile, I will definitely be taking his advice and his opinion will form at least 80-90% of which direction I take. I would love to be able to do copper but it's not possible for me in this instance. Thanks John, nice to hear from someone who has been down a similar road! Doing...

Morning all, I'm in the process of renovating my flat and would like to do a lot of the work myself as it's what I was brought to do with a family of tradesmen. But some advice would be greatly appreciated! I've been browsing here for a few weeks now but certain questions are unanswered and...
