    Clifton 3110 ?!

    I have one of these and my cap iron is close or similar to image 1, I am guessing image 3 the other one is an earlier version hence matching the drawing, then in use they realised choking of the throat was an issue so came up with the stepped cap iron. Let's assume no one would make a more...

    Electric house heating - any new tech savvy members?

    I have had a lot of dealing with UKPN for power to lay connection to the DSLAM broadband cabinets and their general rule is if your point of connection to a serving main is 43 metre or less they just charge for a service connection, if it's is over that they charge you for extending the network...

    Electric house heating - any new tech savvy members?

    Slightly off topic but must put balanced view. Firstly my wife and I don't have many big meetings in our house so do not stretch the boiling tap beyond capacity. I was cynical based on work type boiling taps always breaking down. However fitted a Grohe tap with I think 4 litre tank and it has...

    Yet another shedshop Mike's way. Ish

    I may be wrong and happy to be corrected or open discussion, but I thought Mikes advice re the damp membrane under the concrete was to cut it away and expose the edges of the slab. The theory being the slab retains a level of moisture for a long time and its only egress will be by the edges, yes...

    Arc welder Rods/Sticks storage

    What is & how is it done and is it wise to do so "deliberately shorts them out" Just tack the end of the rod to the work so it's in full contact and not arcing As if you were stiking the arc but don't pull away. This heats the rod and drives out moisture, flick of the wrist to break the minor...

    Changing door hardware

    All good points and agree with Doug if you can get like for like is the best way to go. But just for feedback if you must chnange them don't use tubular latched, they will wear and be janky after a short time and never "feel" quality. I used something like this...

Intresting I was thinking about doing this only the other day using a zone valve and came to the conclusion that it...
