    Why is the cold water in some city houses still tank fed?

    My sister lives in London and i was sure her cistern must be blocked as it was so slow till i realised the bathroom supply was tank fed. Is that just lazyness/cost saving of not wanting to reroute the plumbing? Why in this day and age would anyone not want mains pressure when it's everywhere?

    B&Q Deliveries?

    Does anyone know wether B&Q will deliver sheet materials to a flat a few floors up? I see they have a caveat for kerbside drop offs but it doesn't specify which items are handled that way. I would assume sheet materials are just the type of thing this would apply to so wonder if anyone knows for...

    Some tips on installing traditional stairs

    I had my first experience of this last year and got there in the end but am sure there are a lot of ways to make the process easier and quicker. In that setup i was installing to a corner so had two sides inaccessible which mattered when we found we couldn't get the strings to close at the...

    Best impact resistant bits?

    I've gotten sick of cheaper bits snapping and rounding off so was looking at Wera sets and bits but there seem to be plenty of reviewers having them not last long in impact drivers either. I wanted to get Wera as someone gave me a couple of bits a while back and they were pretty bulletproof...

    Hi i'm trying to remove an air extractor that's poorly mounted in my sisters kitchen and have no experience of it.

    Regs for fixing of stair strings to wall

    I've seen some recommended details for fixing wall strings with gaps of under or over 40mm (600/300mm centres with 50mm min penetration) but is it not actually given in regs specifically? An issue since i've had to install them on site and couldn't get any decent fix with what was supplied...

    Makita site radios, aux inputs too low?

    Recently picked up the dmr109 and find the aux input is orders of magnitude quiter than the radio which is problem as you need to max the volume to get anything out of whatever you plug into the aux (phone audio) which is then liable to blow the speakers/eadrums swithing back to radio. Do these...

    Van sizes.. LWB/MWB/SWB?

    Trend Hinge Jigs

    Is there much between them (a/b/c)? Looking at picking one up soon. The two part jigs are obviously more portable but is there any trade off for that? Do they all work just as well?

    Battery adaptors?

    Are these safe to use? I much prefer the Dewalt multitool to the Makita and all my stuff/batts are Makita so i was thinking of using one with an adaptor. Does anyone know the odds of breaking a battery doing that overdraining etc?
