Can those advocating oil filled radiators tell me what wattage the lowest setting is please? I'm trying to approximate the cost of leaving one on 24hrs 7 days a week in Winter in a well insulated 30m2 shop.

Yes we were burning a cubic metre a week for 32 weeks a year which all needed stacking and then loading twice a day, which was knackering, especially when it was raining or bitterly cold. I had a plan to build a solar kiln to pre-dry the next winter's logs but when I realised that meant storing...

I sold our log boiler system, solar thermal system, Heatrae Sadia, h/w tank and 1500l thermal store for £2.5k on eBay. My buying it was by any measure the worst decision I have made, due to the stress it placed on us maintaining it; yes I under-sized the thermal store but even if I had installed...

Very nice, how did you fix the 4 quarters together?

It's only needed to hold track stops for the drill table fence so strength isn't an issue but thanks anyway (y)

We had a top quality log boiler and solar hot water system feeding a thermal store and it was a nightmare to maintain. Most of the problems were down to our inability to source good quality and dry logs, especially after Christmas as the log suppliers started to run out of seasoned logs, so we...

what depth of celotex did you use Keith?

I was about to order this T Track and resigned to waiting at least 3 weeks for it to arrive from China and wondered if anyone had at least 450mm you want to sell? Happy to pay the same price belupai Red Aluminum Alloy 600mm T-Track T-Slot Miter Track Jig T Screw Fixture Slot 19x9.5mm for Table...

and mine - I use their sharpener

I think all dishwasher salt containers are full of water - I just pour in salt until it reaches the top any excess water just pours into the bottom of the dishwasher.

I agree as the old conservatory on our house was one such dismal brown monstrosity and to add to its horror a polycarbonate roof. It was the first thing we changed after we bought it...yet I still got £100 for it on eBay!

So roughly how much does it cost to have say a 4ft x 3ft double opener spray painted?

I've noticed that painting uPVC is possible now and diy sheds are now selling uPVC paint. Just out of interest has anyone tried it?

I agree with you but it does depend on what a prospective buyer really values, some people think uPVC is attractive or at least more functional, less maintenance etc.

That was my point, just unclearly stated...

I'm thinking no science or clear advantages of DG will ever convince you Jacob, but we had all the rotten SG windows replaced with uPVC DG units in our house in 2008. The front is south facing with 6 windows, a lot of the other windows facing east so also get the heat of the sun for a large part...

I may have misunderstood what you are saying here Kieran but just to re-iterate that if you are fitting new frames you can't fit single glazing. Unless you are Fensa registered you must notify Building Control. I would advise against not doing this as a nosey neighbour could dob you in (I speak...

No I'm after a sheet to glue onto MRMDF

I agree after reading the Q & A on this listing Triton DCA300 - Dust Collection Bucket 23 Litre Capacity : Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools . @Tenacity posted his addition of a cyclone to a Triton Dust collection bucket here Extractor for a triton tpt 125 thicknesser It looks good but I fail to see...

Can anybody point me to a supplier of glue on black melamine please?
