Excellent.. most helpfull! Took the actuator off and the valve spindle moves freely enough. Set the heating to come on and the actuator coupling does not rotate far enough. Off to BnQ to see what they have. Taa very much :D As a matter of interest, is there anything serviceable...

Potterton Prima F (gas) The DHW functions as it should. The CH thermostat was turned down for the summer; when turned up to activate the CH, the boiler will only fire if the DHW is on/coming on at same time as the heating. Where the stat is turned up but the hot water is not on, the...

I'd like to put shelving up in my loft to increase effective storage space. The way i'd like to do this is to screw batterns to the trusses and end wall to support each side of the shelves along their length. What i really need to know is if this is a sound idea, and if the trusses can take...

Noted. Better quality wood for next time then. :)

Agreed, but the wood thinks otherwise! :wink: Thanks for the fix idea big-all, that should help for this problem. Next time i think i'm gonna get some Redwood, and have a play with some small offcuts before i start the project.. see what the pocket hole can and can't do. So the Kreg...

Godamit. That wasn't in the instructions. Doh! :lol:

Thanks for the replys fellas! Right then, to make myself clearer.. It's not the part with the pocket hole in that's splitting (stretcher), it's the part this is screwed to (leg). No pilot holes in the leg I got the pocket hole kit from Rutlands, so this came with some screws (self-tapping...

Using this as a guide: http://sawdustalley.co.uk/How-to/shaker-table/index.php I'm building a coffee table. The problem i have, is when screwing the stretcher to the leg using the top pocket hole, it's making the leg split at the top. (I'm using el chepo Wickes planed softwood) Can...

Splendid, just the sort of resource i was after! :D http://www.sover.net/~nichael/nlc-wood/stanref-num.html Thanks a lot Ps. Going for a combination plane, as this should come in handy for lots of other stuff too :wink:

[I ment Record.. Doh!] Can't seem to find any reference to a Stanley or a Record 48 though (on the internet). Could you have got your numbers muddled? :? As i understand, a combination plane should be suitable, with the correct shaped blades? I hope so 'cos i'm ebaying one at the mo. :)

I don't want to use a router, so i'm looking at getting a plane to make some T&G's. Am I after a combination plough plane/multi-plane/or what? A scan on ebay throws up some Record 50's and 405's. But would a 40/43/44 be suitable (I already have a 40 :) ) Thanks Nathan [EDIT: Record...

Thanks for all the help john! I may use a tin roof then. Pretty much sorted the spec out now.. realised if i have the low-side open it negates the need for a gutter :D Gotta wait for them to start renting the field (15th Sept), then i can crack on and struggle building it without power...

Noted another thing wrong with the one i was going to copy! Does the low side need a gutter? (plan to use a clear corrugated roof) I plan to screw together the side and rear panels as a flat pack, then bolt these together and to the base. May be able to tighten screws/bolts to firm up...

Right then, it seems the one i was going to copy isn't ideal. It has no concrete raft or dwarf wall, so i'ts just sitting on the ground in the feld. What i produce essentially (sp) has to be mobile; to negate the need for planning permision :roll: ..and allow it to be moved between pens in...

Agree with jonny.. it could be a split water pipe. Does anywhere look damp in the engine bay?

I believe this is to prevent condensation in the door. :wink: Have you been round the car and checked all the drain holes? There should be some in the sills, bottem of the wings etc. If some of these were blocked it could cause water to lay in one end of the sill. Could be that if water has...

:shock: The g/f's pony :wink: (I'm a car man :D ) Copying from an existing design, looks like general construction from 2x3, perlins from 2x4, 'plank' clad on the outside and then (waterproof?) chipboard (?) from the ground up to 4' on the inside- this acts as a kick board. I just meant...

I may be building a pony shelter in the near future, trouble is all the cladding i've seen is rather expensive: ie. suitable for housing. What i want is something that's cheap and rustic (rough as a badgers A-hole :wink: ), like you get on a £12 fence pannel! Where can i get this from, and...

thanks for the prompt replys guys :) Where's recomended to get materials from then? and would they chop it up like B&Q will?
