How long do I have to wait to see these? Regards Tet

Just an aside but there is an argument that "Canadian" slate IS Welsh Slate as they are (apparently 98% identical #) and were laid down at the same time whilst the land masses of the earth were Pangaea and Canada and Wales were joined together Regards Tet # - Source...

I plumped for Spanish slate. I had chosen some Canadian slate but the supplier mucked about when theoretical delivery push came to actual delivery shove I went to a local supplier and found a very similar tile that actualy came about £1,200 cheaper. In my experience the real art is your...

Because it's a tax- and (more importantly) hassle- free 3.5% (In our household's case over the last year) Regards Tet

To answer the original question. It is possible, it's not allowed, but it is possible I held £3 in Premium Bonds from 1966 that I had totally forgotten about. I've held £50K in my own name for a while and they have moved addresses with me over time When I was going through some of my late...

...and at a cheaper rate than any point on the current yield curve. The demand is definitely there Regards Tet

As the glass panels perform no real structural function then you might as well use 8mm. Another advatage is they look less "green" and the distortion of view is less Regards Tet

I'm a big fan of the Airflow Icon fans. I had one in my downstairs loo and a humidistat-controlled one in the bathroom for probably 20 years with no issues whatoever and at least one redecoration for each room Regards Tet PS This was my previous house - I now have MVHR with no extractors

My vote is for the condensate pipe Tet

I am making good progress insulating my shed that I constructed on the same footprint as the original shed and garage so as not to antogonise the planners. The floor slopes about 5" left to right from this photo and water comes in on the right hand side, underneath the concrete gravel boards...

My main worry is that looks like a heavy rad. It's very likely that the pipework itself is now the main support for the rad and this is NOT a good idea. You might be able to get away with just draining down that rad. You'll need something to force down the TRV to properly close it but the other...

Thanks to everyone for their advice - especially Scally. I did indeed go to Smiths and ended up with two 150mm Caspian heaters. This coupled with a new combi boiler give a really neat solution that did everything I originally asked for I do however have a follow-up question I'd like to make...

Ideally, you'd replace the asbestos as the thing will only get worse. As a temporary alternative you could use bitumenous (sp?) paint, not cheap but avoids doing anything to the asbestos https://www.screwfix.com/p/bostik-5ltr-black-silk-waterproofing-wood-metal-paint/82914 Regards Tet

I bought mine in 2004. I use it every day. It's a hardshell Master Spa (re-badged as Ocean Spas) Very lucky in that it has still all its original (3) motors. A bit like Trigger's broom it has had two replacement lids, two replacement ozone units, a replacement heater/control box. I'm looking to...

I've had Kinetico for many years and have had my current Harvey for about 3. I completely concur with the advice about non-electric ones I'm very happy with the Harvey, but I am now permanently committed in to their curved salt blocks that are more pricey than I would like. Regards Tet

Thank you for the replies. The boiler is a Windhager pellet boiler that sits outside the main house - the required vent sizing I got from the Service Engineer/Installer The storeroom is a timber framed/slate-roofed lean-to. 1m deep, 4m wide (hence two garage doors) and the opening is 1.8m high...

I'm looking for material for a very specific application. I have an outside storeroom that I am fitting 2 x 2m roller garage doors to. I have a storeroom has a boiler inside that needs10 sq cm of ventilation and I'd like to stop the doors down securely onto a solid surface that has ventilation...

As you seem to be averse to screw-secured fittings. You could fix a large coach bolt (or a timber screw) diagonally across and through the wooden corner joint and secure your tensioner to that Regards Tet

What about a stainless trapeziform thing? Regards Tet
