What amazes me is the technological advances in boiler design but it’s pretty pointless when you consider the cost of the gas and electricity to run it . You have to pay £1200 + for a decent efficient boiler but the cost to run it is out of control. .so people turned back to solid fuel to off...

Hello and welcome 🤗

Yes and I’m going back a bit when unvented , thermal store was in its infancy and 90+!% was open vented and the stat was turned down to save money ..

The house I’m referring to has had to have fd30 doors , hinges and frames all round on all floors ,, hard wired smoke alarms in every room , dormer windows to accommodate the head room for the stairs and 4 velux windows . Edit — forgot the door closers for every door ..

Reminds me of an old film - can’t recall the title but he was a tailor I think and he invented a material that never got dirty or wore out ( I think) but he was run out of town literally as he was putting everyone else out of business.. 🫣🫣

Hot water stored below 40 deg c is susceptible to legionaries as far as I recall ..

It will just be like light bulbs bayonet/ or Edison screw /gu10 etc common connections but vastly different quality of bulbs and or tubes . Will makita honour your drill warranty if you have been using a Milwaukee charger or a dewalt battery on a Bosch circular saw etc .. what next I wonder 🤔🤔🤔

I have to be honest with you my experience with UFH is limited to say the least . I know for example that it runs at a lower temperature to radiators as is designed more as a background heat but it’s constant rather than the on / off effect with radiators therefore you don’t get the periodic...

I’ve been involved with a large house that’s been renovated from top to bottom including a large double loft . Having stripped of the 4 layers of loft insulation and the 100+ years of dust , lath and plaster , ceilings and walls the dust was horrific to say the least, even with masks and goggles...

I’d use sika 5 star complete covers most scenarios and can be overpainted. A minimum of 2 coats with if I recall an hour between each coat . This can also be applied to damp timber so useful for this time of the year. I,d also consider creosote ( the equivalent) but this can’t be overpainted (...

I was thinking of a few degrees- in my case I didn’t want the drill chuck to make contact with the glass . I only used 30 mm screws so nothing emerged from the sides . You can also use metal brackets shaped to fit the profile and fixed to the timber but inside .. lots of ways to achieve this task 🤗🤗

Many many years ago I was sub contracted to b . Gas and as such were trained externally on new technologies. With older , big cast iron boilers with huge radiators and even longer pipe runs the replacement boiler was often oversized to take account of additional rads being installed and...

Drain at end of season is the best defence followed by flushing with a little fresh petrol at the start of season.

Tech fast roofing screws- self drilling available in most sizes. As above depending on your sheds design you may have to send them in at an angle. Impact drill is ideal for this . Had to do this to fix my greenhouse to sleepers . Forgefix TechFast Hex/Washer Self Drilling Roof Screw 5.5 x...

Also with respect - I agreed with your previous post advising that it could be a radon gas barrier and my advice has changed to reflect this . I’m no builder but the method of laying this membrane seems a little strange especially as the op has identified other areas and further problems with...

Your problem is not one I’ve come across before. Saying that I’ve not used a kreg jig . I always use a straight edge or a track saw.. other members may be able to assist you further.

It could be as simple as that was used as a dpc - now I could be wrong but you said 6/7 years old so roughly speaking around the 1st Covid outbreak and then the whole seemed to stand still . No food in the shops , no toilet paper and a massive shortage of building materials. If it is a radon...

I’ve always found the staff at Toolstation very helpful- let us know how you get on . Oh it’s probably worth checking the arbor for any play with the saw unplugged of course .. 🤗🤗

I would say it’s not impossible but again there is only one way to confirm it . The next thing to do is buy a suitable blade from Toolstation and open the package carefully-try it but don’t cut any timber . If all is fine and no noise then you’re good to go. If there is noise then you can...
