    External Electrics for a Tortoise Enclosure

    Yeah I figured I'd need a registered spark. I'm happy to do the work and get it signed off properly. It's going to be about 3 Meters from the house so was guessing I need to bury the last part and use armoured cable all the way. I just don't really know anything about adding a circuit to the...

    External Electrics for a Tortoise Enclosure

    I've always felt that but I'm just going on the advice of many tortoise keepers here in the UK. I've had them a few years and they've not been hibernated before. The are quite a hardy species but I don't want them to have to put up with typical Britain if I can offer paradise.

    External Electrics for a Tortoise Enclosure

    Cheers ericmark! I thought they would be a bit pricier but that's not a bad price at all. It's gonna be a custom build. 3M x 2M x 0.7M raised bed with a half greenhouse/half brick house, various plants, water feature, partially turfed. Meshed lid to cover the whole thing.

    How can you close a fire opening?

    Hmm - good points from both you guys... My chimney pot is not capped, my house is a 101 year old mid terrace at the top of a hill - but cheshire is fairly flat so i'm probably not that high up... The loft has been converted and shows no signs of damp. The roof is newish and sound - probably...

    How can you close a fire opening?

    Hey thanks for the advice dude - what does an ss vent look like - hang on, does ss vent=stainless steel vent? in which case, is it just a plate with slotted holes in that screws on? and i assume you just cut holes in the plaster board? and place said vent over them... Cheers again :-)

    Glow Worm 24ci - was losing pressure - now has no pressure..

    And for the record, I followed the manual and bled the radiators after i fixed the vile object and the pressure dropped to 0.3 - Again... Had to take the valve apart again! So Mr Smug (Agile) is right to poo poo the whole bleeding mess

    Glow Worm 24ci - was losing pressure - now has no pressure..

    [/url] OK, at the risk of sounding like a dum dum, is this the same as the booklet that came with the boiler "Instructions for Use - Installation and servicing"? if so, I have said book and it is very informative... I cannot access the afore mentioned link - I don't have permission?! Since...

    Glow Worm 24ci - was losing pressure - now has no pressure..

    Hi, I have a Glow Worm 24ci Combi boiler with a digital pressure gauge on the front. Last night my bird discovered it was reading only 0.6 bars and it states on the housing that i requires at least 0.7 to operate. There is even an annoying fault light that has not only come on but is flashing...
