    King Charles III state cars

    King Charles is using vintage State Cars, is there any more accurate information other than Wikipedia as to which ones he is using? The car in Edinburgh for example appears to have the bonnet mascot from the Queens Bentley, a George & Dragon and yet the car looks like it might be the 1950 Rolls...

I should add, the board was knocked off the wall during building work as it was loose anyway and...

    Possible plumbing error

    I have an issue with a cold/luke warm radiator in my new loft conversation and I think it might have been plumbed in wrong. I should add the plumber was kicked off the job and then I was abandoned by the builder so I had to finish things myself. The pictures show where a different plumber...

    Can Immersion heater be supplied by mains plug?

    My heating and hot water are by Air Source Heat Pump but I have had external electrical supply problems (ongoing for years!),I have also had a failure of the heat pump programmer in the past.

    Beirut, huge explosion video

    Reports are that 10 people have been killed after a fireworks factory exploded. I can’t believe only 10 people unfortunately. Given the size of the blast I doubt any organisation could have done it and as such I think the factory exploding is actually the truth...

    Metal unslotted basin waste to 32mm

    Just a quick one, I'm fitting a hand basin with a metal "plug hole", the type that has no plug, do I need an adapter to connect it to a plastic P trap? The nut on the P trap seem very loose on the thread of the waste and I can't get it to seal or tighten properly.

    Tile beading around recess

    I am in the process of re-fitting my downstairs loo following an extension and renovation. I have chosen tiles and I cannot use border tiles across the top of the tiles because the door only just fits past 6mm tiles so anything protruding would catch. The obvious choice is to run a quarter round...

    Tiling onto liquid screed floor using Anhyfix

    I had the opportunity to test Anhyfix tile adhesive because I damaged a tile. The floor was tiled by myself, an amateur about 6 months ago but was never grouted as other parts of my build took precedent. The underfloor heating has been in use through winter with a maximum floor temperature of 30...

    IG Lintel or two RSJs to span 3 metre gap?

    I'm still picking up the pieces having been deserted by my (close to useless) builder. One of the last major jobs on the build was to knock out the back wall of the kitchen enough to create a 3 metre wide gap for Bi-fold doors. The architects drawings show a heavy duty IG lintel over the span...

    Automatic bypass valve with underfloor heating mixer valve

    I have almost completed the "wet" side of installing my underfloor heating system up to the point that I have been running it on a low setting, from an air source heat pump to assist in drying my liquid screed floor. So far however, for safety I have also had my radiator zone enabled so that a...
