  1. there's a base fitting with a drain hole in our Swift Air setup, I think Isokern should be the same? "Base stone with drain" is the item.
  2. I *think* there's an O-ring in a recess behind the thin locknut IIRC. Try tightening the locknut a smidge...
  3. Ebay and Amazon both do 'em, I ordered a couple of simple steel ones to use as occasional platforms when we were tiling. IIRC the vendors were mostly German and Polish?
  4. could put them in series, UFH on the return from the rads
  5. why even refer to the past use anyway?
  6. still not finished, but every day.
  7. the rubber washer is bonded to the metal one
  8. No requirement for electrical signoff in NI.
  9. you might be surprised. Using silicone grease can result in things not wanting to stay together, in my experience. It's Very Slippery stuff...
  10. was there a coal hatch somewhere?
  11. I'll be a tiny bit contrary here and say there's nothing *wrong* with petrol stuff, even cheapies. But some people just don't do well with it- instructions are actually pretty important as choke systems can be a bit counter-intuitive depending on brand. I do however have a Dewalt 18v hedge trimmer and it's pretty darned impressive. The match of any electric I've ever used or our 25cc petrol one..
  12. If you're only paying a third it mightn't be so bad...
  13. There's no LV (240v) to any of the marked properties/ sites? None along the road to the East? Looks like going to the middle of the three would save a pole at least
  14. doesn't help if you find yourself in a chair at short notice. BTDT...
  15. hire in a big'old diesel one for the retaining wall if there'll be a big timelag til the next phase of work
  16. gonna throw an alternate viewpoint re. accessibility. How well do high-level ovens and microwaves do if wheelchair-bound?
  17. that's a very broad brush. \As a parent who has just had a youngster get through his GCSEs and seen the amount of graft and determination required to get a commendable outcome I cannot agree with your viewpoint. Although in NI we're not saddled with the comprehensive system...
  18. NI Water have a free annual desludge service
  19. Is a crust normal? I've never seen one on ours.
  20. we went with a continuous dry verge. Have a look at Kytun; ours was supplied by LBS, sized to match their tiles.
  21. Are there big long hold-down straps as well?
  22. put the DW drain hose straight onto a spigot on the branch. The DW is trapped in itself and the vented stack will ensure no gurgling.
  23. with the volumetric & single-angle spectro systems that are used for this kind of paint, matching will always be a bit more "approximate" than the gravimetric systems w/ multi-angle spectros that are used eg in the motor trade. With car colours, spectros trump original formulas now...
  24. loose.
  25. Intake fan will just freewheel a bit as the air is pulled through it...
