  1. But what choice do you have if you can't find the tile and a half tiles! You could strip the whole roof and start with new tiles! He art of a good marriage is compromise!
  2. Well all good things come to an end. The table saw stopped this morning and having just stripped it down the motor is buggered! So my free saw is no more! I'll have to start looking for a replacement.
  3. Yep, take them back, along with your feedback, and get a refund.
  4. A very nice looking job. How long did it take to fit the slate roof?
  5. I had the same problem last week, I used a large vacuum cleaner to suck a string through. I started by taping a Plastic over the end of the pipe and made a small cross slit in it, then forced the Hoover hose through the slit, so as to get a good air seal. I tied a large peice of kitchen roll to the end of the string and turned the vacuum on and within a minute the string was through.
  6. I'm happy to let someone bend the steel, but before I can get that done they need a bending schedule.
  7. That's the good thing with Buildhub, we're all happy to help.
  8. Your answer is here NSAI Irish Agrement Certi cate Number 04/0097 for KORE Floor Insulation
  9. The bar schedule was priced separately, as part of an insulated foundation design costing £1000+vat.
  10. Plus 1 I'm also interested in in-roof PV installations. So any relevant thing infirmation welcome.
  11. I've been quoted £180 +vat for a bar bending schedule. I'm all for saving money and wondered if this is something I could produce myself?
  12. What about "Homes under the Hammer", can't recall the presenters?
  13. Build the terrace and move your most elderly relatives into the older two, then over time knock through.
  14. What's an SPA exclusion zone?
  15. This what it looks like and the second photo shows the data label.
  16. I've been offered a Baxi Air Source Heat Pump. It has the following model/serial number RO.9/1.MT. and C14MT0091. I've looked online and can't find much information, other than stuff in French. Can anyone identify what it is? I assume it's a rebadged model made by others. How much is it worth? Is it of any use?
  17. My application, in a National Park, with part of the building site in a SSSI went through without a hitch. Walk round the immediate neighbours with your plans, get them on side, then sit back for seven weeks, then if they fail your application come back here to share the outcome. Chill !
  18. Is that flooring grade chip board ?
  19. Just realised it April the first. Got ya ho ho ho!
  20. To be honest, I'm quite attached to my old Dell PC and I'm a tight wad, so would be loathed to get rid of it. But my close shave with data Armageddon has got my worried. To be honest the hard drive is nearly full, so I do need to replace it. I also need to understand how to do a backup to an external drive, I use the wizard, but I'm not convinced it the best approach. Is there some software I could/should be using, particularly as I move to Linuxmint? Edit. Just read up on the Disk Station - just what I need! I could up all my files on one of these and as I update something on my PC it would automatically back it up to the NAS box.
  21. It's POP, so no folders backed up online. I've now got my old Outlook2003 up and running again having just reloaded the software. I'll take a look on line for a tutorial and we will see how I get on! As a result of my 14 year old PC failing I've learnt a few things. The first is to back everything up, luckily I had the documents and photos backed up, but not the mail ( I had backed up the mail files, but not in a format I could do anything with). I've just sorted that problem out. Another thing, don't give up on a failed computer, following advice from onoff I cleaned the dust out and reseated all the cards and cables and the thing sprang back to life. Windows XP is no longer supported and much of the software I use daily is no longer supported, things like Firefox and Thunderbird (I don't actually use Thunderbird, but looked to loading it but can't due to the ago of the machine it won't). Finally, once I'm happy I've got everything backed up and moved to a spare PC, i'm going to dump Windows OS and move to Linux Mint. edit. One final thought, my 250MB hard drive is nearly full, so I might treat myself to a new (reconditioned) PC at £300 as I've found one complete with a 1TB drive.
  22. Not sure which gap you're referring too. Can you be more specific?
  23. I agree, the delta range is wide, but I thing you will find that once you've got the system up and running and with a bit of fine tuning it'll be a set and forget system. The only time I fiddle with our system is as the first cold days of winter sets in and the incoming cold water temperature drops.
  24. I was involved in the installation of a new heating system in an accommodation block at a Scout Camp Site. We found that customers were fiddling with the controls so much that we moved them into a locked cupboard and replaced them with a dummy room thermostat, this they could twiddle to their hearts content. I'm a fan of KISS, at the end of the day you have two points of human interface, "is it too hot/cold in here", or "is this water too hot/cold"? In both cases a bit of tweaking of the controls will bring these into control.
  25. I think we should revert to steam on the railways, far more sustainable! And don't get me going on SI units, bring back BTUs and PSI.
