Cheers you barsteward. I've just seen a cut off saw, that I didn't know I wanted until I saw it going for £30 a couple of miles from me, and offered a bid on it. "Shiny!" . Thought I'd be safe looking at items in Cornwall, but no, one for sale in the next town over from me. Damnit

"Mint sauce anyone?"

Baxi, Vaillant, Worcester Bosch, or similar are good, any thing other needs serious scrutiny. Also need to know how much this boiler has had allocated to it so you dont get a bag of shit for megabucks and BB has had it for a song.

Yup, but none that'll cut a 7" skirting board upright, which is a dream when your doing a whole house. Plus the better the saw, the quicker it'll resell. Either need the legs, or make your own out of trestles and timber.

Jesus, that'll be twins then

Ahhh, nothing quite as satisfying as seeing someone getting a custard pie to the face. Soooo frickin' old........but good to see something that doesn't NEED 4k HD. Bah.

Gotcha. Indeed. By the time I've stopped learning i'll be too f****d to do anything with the information.

Muppet. That makes 103% ! Its just not possible.

Did you find out any info about the pros / cons of the two different sized coils? From what I read the HP likes the return as cool as possible so the bigger coil should win the day. Im still getting to grips with the science of the HP's so by no means an expert.....yet. Im booking myself in for a few HP training and product awareness courses shortly so that'll soon change. Knowledge is power, so im roughly 37% powerful, 66% bacon, 41% Tunnocks teacakes, and the remaining % im leaving for beer.

IIRC Telford manufacture for Joule.

Are you saying he's fitting electric UFH on the entire 1st floor, and setting it into SL compound? There are foil mats that go down without SLC to do this, thus saving several hundreds of pounds. Can you get as much detail on that environment of works as you can plz? Cost of UFH components and the supplier? Cost of electric UFH and the supplier? ( argue in both cases that you want good warranties etc if you need a cloak to go with the dagger ) Does that include manifold/s? Does that include manifold pump/s and blender set/s? Whose designed the UFH layout? eg number of loops per zone and the pipe spacings. YOU MUST KNOW THIS BEFORE THE SCREED GETS ANYWHERE NEAR THE HOUSE!! It cannot be rectified afterwards. UFH controllers and room thermostats? Does he think the boiler fitter will be "sorting all that out"? eg then you get another bill for change of £1k for the controls. You say the boiler will be supplied. Price and EXACTLY what boiler? If its a combi then you'll need a buffer tank to drive the UFH, so factor that into the airing cupboard so you know up front that you'll lose a bit of space in there but the heat won't go to waste, but most importantly that you get quotes from plumbers to do the correct job rather than 5-pipe jockeys who will bolt the boiler to the wall and scarper. What is the depth of the ground floor screed, and what is the M2 so I can get you a price to compare?

No dopy, its so you can isolate the aav and remove it without draining the antifreeze out.

Go make some.

What are you waiting for then? .

Or....

All you need is a small gap behind it and then you go for a full foam jacket. Foam the lot, with the chrome parts masked with the supplied covers / shrouds and its job done.

I would have knee-capped you if you put curves on them.

It was like a facking beaver had attacked it. The thing to watch out for is the horrible twist grip thing on the arm that you swing to change the angle of the cut. Who the hell invented that piece of crap.? The Dewalt has a castellated ring where you just slide and it clicks to lock into place using a finder tip catch under the flip down secure lock 'tab'. That means switching from one angle to another takes seconds. The secure locking tab doesn't need to be used for the preset angles as the click stop is rock solid on its own, so you only need to drop the secure tab if you've gone between the clicks to an odd angle. With my other mates ( expensive ) Bosch there was still that twist lock thing that took an age to loosen and then re-tighten EVERY time you need to move it which is just such a PITA !!! D E W A L T

There is a tool that you won't regret the drive going to get. The rage are horrible for anything other than chopping up firewood imo, and the Dewalt is just a Rolls Royce in comparison. I borrowed my mates rage to do a bit of skirting, prior to buying the Dewalt, and I couldn't justify another cut after the first. Yuk. The Dewalt will see you through all the major stuff with just effortless ease and most of all, control. Then with a fresh blade, will see you through all the skirtings and architraves, kitchen plinths, cornice / pelmets etc as if a laser has cut them. I'd not be looking anywhere else at that money, and maybe the seller will chip a bit...........oh, no they won't, it's just sold. Gumtree near you? Worth a ring?

I'd use a circular for the I beams too. + 1 on buying a top notch used saw and then selling it afterwards. Get your chequebook out.

I kew we should have sent little Willy up the ladder

It'll just jam them further shut imo. EDIT ( lol ) that is 'it' not 'they'

All jokes aside, my Makita angle drill driver is one of my favourite purchases, even at 10.8 v. I will grab the 18v one as soon as I see one priced to suit my budget of zilch ( want vs need )

But then your short length wouldn't be an issue then I remain, as always, ungracious in defeat
