If there is no moss then no need for moss killer. If you need a general weed killer or need to prevent the moss from growing back, salt will prevent most plants growing. Either cheap bags from the supermarket or rock salt used for roads. It will kill grass so be careful of any 'run off' when it...

sorry, Pred, our posts crossed. I was replying to the OP last post. I agree though, a professional sitter would also be a good option if they have a good reputation.

...err..If you don't know your neighbours well enough, then perhaps they are not the best people to ask to look after your cat. If they don't know you well enough, they probably wouldn't want the responsibility to do it either. A cattery is probably the best option. Personal recommendation...

Good idea RF Lighting, but it only solves 1 of the problems (financial). This does not prevent a tenant from using a heater for an extended period of time, so there is still the fire risk that the OP was concerned about. Really depends on the where the landlords priorities lie. Money or...

If they use too much leccy, you could always punish them by turning off the water.

Why would you want to do this? Is for financial reasons? Is it from a 'load' point of view? Is it for a fire safety reason? I think you will have some unhappy tenants if you deliberately remove all electricity from their home if they use 'too much power for too long'. I think you need...

"I want to be able to use it as another loving room" ........dont we all !

Hi weegieavlover, your compressor will be ok for spraying your cornice, however the spray gun requirements mean you will be waiting for your compressor to refill the tank with air often. This is not really a big deal if you are spaying emulsion water based paint with a matt finish. It WILL be...

I don't have the exact same model as yours, but my own bosch dishwasher leaked some time ago. After fixing the leak the DW would still not start. The reason the machine would not start was that in the sump of the DW there is a float-switch. This switch is activated when ever there is water...

"Which insulation would you recommend. Would polystrene sheets do the job?" You can use polystyrene sheets, but it will be awkward to get it down into the void, and it is more difficult to fill-in small gaps with. However if you cut it correctly you would not need to use the chicken wire as...

If you want to have exposed floorboards, and if you can get into the void, I would suggest you put fibreglass insulation between the joists (150mm should do it), and hold it in place with 'chicken wire'. I used this method in my lounge, and it makes a massive difference to the temperature in the...

Hi chaps, I have a 4 inch cast iron toilet waste pipe I need to extend. unfortunately now I have cut the collar off the pipe and can now measure the bore of the pipe, I have discovered the inside diameter is 97mm. The multikwik extension pipe I have is only suitable for a pipe diameter of 99mm...

Thanks for the reply billyo, just for the record, in the end I used Nitromoors paint stripper. A messy job but I got there in the end. It softens the rubber just enough. Great forum by the way! thanks

Hi chaps, perhaps you may be able to advise me with this problem. I have just removed some old formica sheeting, from the walls of my bathroom. Judging by the pattern It must have been there for around 30+ years. Anyway, the sheeting was fixed to the wall using some sort of rubber / latex...
