    Chaffoteaux & Maury boiler flashing 70 & 80

    If I got the AA out again, as they fitted no parts I would be charged for the time spent investigation further. Money I just don't have :( So I thought i'd take a quick look to see if it was something simple. Took the front of the boiler and noticed that the ignition isn't sparking...

    Chimney wall sweating

    I've been in the loft and cannot see any drips coming from the roof. I'll be getting some long ladders so I can look then but not for a while. The builders should have capped the chimney and repointed it. But we shall see.

    Moving a socket

    I take it its just better to have junction box's in the ceiling or under the floor boards then! This due to drilling hole for hanging stuff etc?

    Moving a socket

    Couldn't you just put a junction box where the current plug is and sink it then run a cable from the junction box to the site of the new plug??
