  1. No can do but here's one of her using the body dryer:
  2. I have an LED strip along side the bath. It's tucked up behind. I'll try and find a section drawing but it was all PLANNED! ?
  3. Yep On mine set back at top and non hinge side the same. At the hinge side, where two doors meet I had to get creative with a bit of quarter beading.
  4. Pinterest..... https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/70931762850954739/
  5. This has got Scooby Doo writtten all over it!
  6. One thing I am going to leave "as is" is the 1st and last (8th) radiators on the downstairs single pipe system. In that at the moment they are plumbed, in at the bottom and out at the bottom. They work and I figure bottom entry/exit makes flushing easier. This as opposed to changing the flow pipes to go in at the top as is traditional on a single pipe system. These two aren't anyway plumbed with swept tees.
  7. I was going to put the front of the TARDIS on my lads bedroom wall when he was little that led into the much bigger eaves space... Should have, would have, coul... ?
  8. If...you could get a bit of 15mm pipe into that fitting you could hold in the 16mm chuck of a pillar drill like a poor man's vertical lathe and file it like that. A bit hairy but done that more than once. Wash your hands well btw, brass splinters are horrible.
  9. Taking out the magnetic filter on the return 28mm and fitting the PFM there is the plan. It'll be about 1m from the boiler. I'll put all the ZVs to MAN. I'll close the balance valve too. I'll turn off the feed from the header and I'll cap the expansion pipe.
  10. Philistine
  11. Do you know anyone with a lathe who could take the corners off your nuts neatly?
  12. Tomorrow is the day! New rad, new pump valves. Before all that the power flush. I'm still lost as to the why of your two points above. Isn't it a case I'm just aiming to treat the CH pipework as a loop? I force water round one way, then the other a few times then dump the contents to the drain? Can't figure the why of the extra gate valve suggested. Ta.
  13. Yes, the nut above the jubilee clip in the last picture rotates freely. Got one of the hoses with me today so it's off to the plumber's merchants later for some washers.
  14. Cue Tesla having a mode whereby you can send the car on it's own to the drive through just because they can! ?
  15. You could run ordinary architrave through a table saw so it's the same width as the jam. Thus the taper would match the full architrave. Saying that it's common to have the architrave set back slightly from the edge of the jam:
  16. Try Google yourself for a change why don't you? I typed in "quarter moulding". 'Kin amazing resource, wish I'd found it years ago! https://www.google.com/search?q=quarter+moulding&oq=quarter+moulding&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i22i30l7.6240j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
  17. The ScaleBreaker power flushing rig is a beast! I'm aiming to plumb it into the return line just before the boiler as aforementioned. I've brass & iron fittings to go from 3/4" male to 1" male BSP which I'll assemble with PTFE tape. (Just hoping the 1" BSP is correct but I won't know until I remove the IntaKlean mag filter). The rig's flexible pipe fittings are black plastic, 3/4" BSP that come prefitted to reinforced hose attached with a jubilee clip. However there is no plastic or fibre washer. Maybe just more PTFE tape on the plastic to iron connection?
  18. My oil boiler short cycles like a mad thing. Really noticeable now it's gotten super cold weather wise. Presumably this is due to all the rapid heat loss points through the fabric.
  19. YouTube frame fixings
  20. He probably used frame fixings.
  21. Add architrave as normal. Then tack a bit of thin ply up the edge. Use a pencil against the wall to mark the (wall) profile like you did in the kitchen.
  22. Frame fixings. Counterbore the jambs first with a flat wood bit. Then cover with the stops.
  23. I reckon a PCM contender is the filling in McDonald's Apple Pies. By Christ does that stuff hold it's heat. Many a dark night I've bitten into one of those whilst driving to be rewarded with a scalding dollop in the lap. As you struggle to stay on the road and hold onto a steering wheel slick with mayo from the McChicken Sandwich. Should be part of the driving test imo.
  24. What side are the hinges going on in this photo?
  25. I think I understand what you mean. So basically your walls are pi$$ed? As ever, photos would help. Whatever you do your frame needs to be installed square and plumb. I'm thinking architrave might mask the issue and you'll fill behind it. The joys of an old house with wonky walls. Welcome to my world. Edit: Is "arch" your shorthand for architrave? I've just spent minutes trying to figure where your "arch" is. Use proper English like wot we do.
