Ikea taps have a 10 year guarantee. You need the receipt so maybe the landlord has it. Failing that it says here that spares are available at their stores. https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/doc/general-document/ikea-kitchen-taps-guarantee-pdf__1364308515798.pdf

Very odd. They are presumably living in the caravan(s)? Reminds me however of when there were caravans parked at the top of a village local to me in Kent and rather than enforcement there is now a site up there. I very much doubt anyone would have got permission to build houses on it.

@JSHarris made a model of his house complete with a woman in a bikini standing in the shower to help his wife visualise the size of the shower .

I know who to ask when I get another 'overhead lines are down' reason for my train being delayed or cancelled then

Ultimately you will need to decide whether spending what will end up being quite a lot on a brand new house will be worth the investment because what if you spend a considerable sum and subsequently want to move? You may find it impossible to recover what you have spent. Every plot and area will have a ceiling. As long as you go in with eyes wide open and do the maths you can do whatever you want ultimately, but I imagine that building near London may cost a pretty penny in terms of labour costs at least.

Welcome! Looks like a great project.

That's a great result. Well done you!

Thanks for this info @Temp it is helpful to me too. Now that my heating is finally working I want to try to work out a plan for the set back temperatures and time to heat back up. I had expected it to take about 90 minutes to get back up to temperature but have only dropped the temperature by 2 degrees during set back so maybe I should look at upping that to 3 degrees. Out of interest how much insulation do you have in the floor? I wish I had more. The TF company designed it with much better than building regs standard in the walls but there is only the minimum (50mm) in the floors sadly. It was built to 2006 regs. Do you put the set back temperature right down if there is no one there during the day? I have again set mine to 2 degrees lower during that time and then 90 minutes before I am due to arrive home it kicks back up to 20 degrees downstairs, 18 degrees upstairs but maybe set back should be lower. It's all theory at present because the weather has been weirdly warm here for this time of year and I haven't switched it on yet.

Welcome. I think many people come here with pretty much no experience but the collaboration and sharing of knowledge is amazing.

I think that’s good advice. I would suggest that you don’t buy if you are not going to use it before the eBay dispute window closes. @ProDave had the good fortune to have bought his from a company that was part of a much larger operation. If you buy from a smaller seller you may find that they’ve packed up and disappeared.

Welcome to the forum. Likewise but I see the East Coast main line.

Lol, it must be a Kent thing! ?

Indeed, that sounds spooky!

See, you can use Google ?

Watch and learn

Nah, I’d still go for Aidan ?

Christ on a bike that’s not until Christmas! ?

Who gets to use the bog first? Will it be bog first or shower? ?

‘He’ was in this version too. See them together, and I’d still go for Aidan out of the 2! ?

Nope, not at all!

I’ve done TV (and film) stuff with my dogs (in a previous life), everything from the Welsh language soap opera Pobol y Cwm, TV adverts, and My Life So Far (filmed in Scotland). Lots of divas, lots of standing around being bored to death, lots of retakes especially with the adverts where that 30 seconds has to be completely perfect, but luckily the dogs didn’t give a sh1t about any of that so no diva tantrums on their part ?.

That was clearly her devious side coming out then . She either would have ended up pregnant or you would have finished by now so as not to lose face!

PMSL! ?

Welsh wonder not replying (clearly having too much fun with @PeterW and his contactors ?). @Nickfromwales help the man out or he’ll never get Jennifer in his shower ?
