  1. Our uPVC 2G came with locking handles on every opening, and little plastic caps to press into the keyholes of any openers that needed to be escape-capable.
  2. We've heading for a kilometre of 32mm off the road down to the house and there's no problem whatsoever with flow.
  3. Why can't you buy red? Purchase of fuel is an essential action... Or do petrol stations not sell it over there?
  4. The Cuprinol stuff is very good. I did our current decking with the (now discontinued?) water-clear stuff and it worked well for maybe 3yrs. I've an unopened can in the attic to re-do it with but it's very low on the list right now...
  5. you rotate one end relative to the other.
  6. Careful... Imperial is still used in RoI
  7. If you've taped a comression fitting and it's leaking now, I'd suggest that things could get worse, not better...
  8. where's the manifold and is all in the photo one zone?
  9. our blockwork went up first (I had someone to do it, we did the roof ourselves) but definitely don't negate the effect of the tiles loading out the structure- our clay tiles worked out at about 7 tonnes.
  10. Why only Scotland? There's plenty good'uns that'll make a ferry trip too...
  11. sorry about the poor piccy, but we've got this. Lintel steel just resting on the cripple studs, racking steel (on a steelpost in the inside wall of the room) resting on, with the upstairs walls again just resting on. All from the drawings.
  12. staples and string. it's what SWMBO has done with ours...
  13. IIRC the premium uses the slightly more flexy duct. I paid for my design, as I wanted it prior to buying the stuff (and ended up getting the unit elsewhere), I think it was £100 or £150, and it was credited against the subsequent order as I recall
  14. I got a few sheets of 10mm XPS to do the reveals, but I've only done the bathroom windows and think I'll do the kitchen ones but don't really see the need to do the rest.
  15. I see confusion here... Are we talking about studs or joists just now?
  16. sounds like one of the gears has gone a little short on teeth.
  17. yep, exactly that. Oh and don't forget you need a drain below it's overflow level too.
  18. how would someone go through multiple kettles in ten years?
  19. is there ever?
  20. Local B&Q recently clear some 2-temperature bulbs for a few quid. Switch on as warm white 35W tungsten equivalent, toggle the light switch and they're 60W equiv cool white.
  21. pre-folded window tape makes it easier, like Siga Corvum
  22. it's one of those RTFM moments...
  23. ...but you haven't put the PB up yet have you?
  24. cold doesn't rise?
  25. @Jeremy Harris I've noticed this effect with some white LED string christmas lights, you can "feel" the light coming off them... @Jeremy Harris
