    Dug Hole - It filled with water.

    Hi, My parents garden is around 70% flat with the last 30% on a slight gradient. Where it levels out we planned to put decking in however when I dug 2 holes yesterday for posts they filled with water quickly. We've all had alot of rain but I assume this is more than that? Any advise as to...

    Thank you, I think I understand what you are suggesting, is this done just over the room with the damp/wet patches? Also how far up should the boards go? Thanks again

    Electric shower flows faster when cooler

    Sorry for the delay and thank you for the advice. It's a 9.5kw shower and it sounds like it's working as should be then. Re other source of hot water - it's a bath fed by a combi. Thanks again

    Wet patches on ceiling/wall - external wall/bungalow

    Thanks, the outside is rendered up to the fascia boards. When looking from the loft, the view is limited due to the angle it slopes to so we can only see the roof lining and the roof beams. Thanks again.

    Wet patches on ceiling/wall - external wall/bungalow

    Hello, where our internal wall meets the ceiling (it's an outside wall on our bungalow) we have damp/wet patches right across. The gutters are clear and when I look in the loft I can see a hole in the roof liner above this area so I assume this is my issue but would one hole cause wet patches...

    Erbauer mitre saw - blade not spinning

    Thank you, the button doesn't hold the blade sadly. I've taken it all apart and re the picture attached, the end I'm holding is where the blade is bolted on and the other end is the cog that engages with the motor and the blade lock button. When I turn it the cog turns but when I turn it and...

    Erbauer mitre saw - blade not spinning

    Thank you everyone, I'll try and find an exploded diagram for it. Re the button, it seems to do nothing when pressed and I turn the blade (with no power). I don't think it's a blade issue as it worked fine that morning cutting wood, then it suddenly stopped spinning. But the red button on the...

    Erbauer mitre saw - blade not spinning

    I've just tightened it, hardly any play in it, when I press the on switch the motor fires up and the blade spins a little but when press on to some wood it stops. The safety button I assume is also broken as it does nothing and doesn't seem to be connected to anything, I assume a bit has fallen off.

    Erbauer mitre saw - blade not spinning

    Thank you, I've just looked at the saw and the safety switch doesn't seem to be connected to anything? I've attached a picture, should this press the black button behind it? Thank you

    Worcester combi - system drain lever?

    Hello, re the attached image, someone told me that the lever pictured drains the system via the overflow pipe? Is this correct? I only ask as I plan to add a new radiator (in a bungalow) and thought this may be a good way to drain the system to add the new radiator. Thank you

    Electric towel radiator filling up question

    Thank you, yes it has dual options but it's simply electric for us, yes it came with an inhibitor. But you got me thinking about inhibitor as I put new radiators on a few months ago and I'm about to replace another this week, could I add the inhibitor to this new one for the whole system, its...
