What's the case for not getting an ASHP?
dpmiller replied to kentar's topic in Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP)
why not just use as much lekky as you want, til something blows. How can they blame *you* if there are another couple of houses on the pole... -
just put a spanner on the "nut" in the middle of the hinge, to try and jack it L-R?
-
or just done it live and got a bit wet...

Any chance the handle is slightly bent and not closing completely before hitting the stop?
-
how does the door look like it's fitting into the frame as it closes- are any of the latchy bits rubbing anywhere?

Radiator update to thermostat rad valve's
dpmiller replied to AidanGee93's topic in Central Heating (Radiators)
looks like the original valves have 1/4 or 3/8 nuts on, so the nuts and olives will need removing regardless -

I like the first one best, just shift the wall slightly to shrink the utility. And do something with the back hall- does it really not have an internal door? Inlaw's bungalow is very similar to this. Loft is floored and the stair opening trimmed out and just PB'd over

Decommissioning an old brick septic tank - DIY or not?
dpmiller replied to jumbletons's topic in Waste & Sewerage
too much hassle to do it the legal way I guess. Do you guys not get one free pump out each year from the water board? -

How best to cable for Washer and Dryer ?
dpmiller replied to Spinny's topic in Electrics - Kitchen & Bathroom
WMs generally have a bit of overhang on the rear of their "worktop", the actually chassis is a bit shallower... -
Multipipe Maxima FM 16-port manifold (..and 13, 14, & 15)
dpmiller replied to mikeysoft's topic in Underfloor Heating

Can't connect the SWA cable. Practical help please.
dpmiller replied to saveasteading's topic in Power Circuits
is that T&E? I'd be replacing that... -
