All combis have a pressure relief valve so won’t blow up even if all rads are locked off. But it is good practice to have one rad without a TRV, as previously said either on the bathroom or room where the stat is.

If you can’t see any scientific evidence you haven’t looked. One thing in your statement which is actually right is that they are not doctors. Every doctor my wife, son and I have seen have said nothing we can do, take painkillers and go to a physio (useless). The only thing that worked for all...

Just my personal experience, and that of my wife and son, but I have to disagree with that comment re chiropractors. He sorted my son’s dodgy back, my sciatica and frozen shoulder, and as for my wife, she swears that were it not for her monthly visit she would not be mobile. Okay, so it may be...

And of course I should have had a grave accent over the a and a circumflex over the u.

Yes I did. Blame spellcheck.

Chacon a son gout...

This is bang on. The key is to practise on scrap until you’re sure that the stop blocks for the grooves are in the right place. Stronger and neater than rebating.

Won’t the lipping need to be several inches deep to ensure that you rout into that and not the ply?

Yes, apologies, my knowledge of physics is indeed limited. I've done a bit of research on both types, very interesting.

I may be wrong, but my understanding is that a Sterling engine makes use of the Peltier effect to work. So they are one and the same. I’m no physicist but I would guess that the temperature gradient needs to be higher than the 30 degrees the OP wants. Certainly my stove fan doesn’t start...

You're quite right - I DID jump!!

Just leave the chat once it’s set up.

Given the kind of work you appear to undertaking and the space you have to do it in, a track saw will suit you much better. Building a kitchen involves mostly sheet cutting which a track saw will do quickly and accurately. With the associated vacuum you can use it in the house where necessary...

Is it just me who struggles to see the point of a phone stand?

I used cascamite for my laminated hard maple board which we use exclusively for raw meat. Had it for 20-odd years and not been poisoned yet.

With that photo you might now have started a discussion about skirting boards

I should have said, that’s a lovely piece of joinery.

Sorry, but that tile layout just looks wrong. And surely it results in a cut edge in the middle of the floor rather than at the edge where it can be hidden by skirting or upstand?

There are a number of pieces of research which fail to find any evidence that rising damp is an actual phenomenon. The rising damp industry has made billions from scaring householders with this myth.

You’re probably embarrassed with all this praise Phlebas but it’s well deserved. Shows that you don’t need expensive hardwoods or indeed tools to make a well thought out, skilfully crafted and useful piece of furniture. Well done.
