  1. You'll need to use a cable calculator to confirm- maximum current demand vs length...
  2. Our steel garage came with an insulated aluminium-slat roller door. It's a Garador IIRC which is a subsidiary of Hormann. It's smooth in action, quiet, and reasonably wind-tight.
  3. there's likely a motorised flap to open the path to the fridge; defrost and retry, but I'd be asking why it hasn't auto-defrosted itself. Have the doors been left open at any time?
  4. is that duct attached with masking tape?
  5. any chance the motorised head is slightly loose from the valve?
  6. I suspect the off time will have to be extremely short- arcing- if the burner continues to run without a flameout and purge. I'd be more inclined to say loose connection near the TPV, or a *failing* microswitch
  7. what make of burner is on the Grant? Is it blueflame or modulating in any way? / what happens on yours if power is interrupted for a shorter time even, half a sec or less?
  8. have the various pipes been CCTV surveyed? That would be a good start.
  9. 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.
  10. I *think* there's an O-ring in a recess behind the thin locknut IIRC. Try tightening the locknut a smidge...
  11. 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?
  12. could put them in series, UFH on the return from the rads
  13. why even refer to the past use anyway?
  14. still not finished, but every day.
  15. the rubber washer is bonded to the metal one
  16. No requirement for electrical signoff in NI.
  17. you might be surprised. Using silicone grease can result in things not wanting to stay together, in my experience. It's Very Slippery stuff...
  18. was there a coal hatch somewhere?
  19. 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..
  20. If you're only paying a third it mightn't be so bad...
  21. 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
  22. doesn't help if you find yourself in a chair at short notice. BTDT...
  23. hire in a big'old diesel one for the retaining wall if there'll be a big timelag til the next phase of work
  24. gonna throw an alternate viewpoint re. accessibility. How well do high-level ovens and microwaves do if wheelchair-bound?
