• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

    Conversion - bathroom to en-suite

    My guess is that they were the original pipes for the backboiler which were unpumped, thermosyphon probably with a pressure release valve somewhere and in 28mm (1 1/8).

    Spreadsheet help

    Yes as said Excel is very simple, with three samples per day maybe a stacked graph over a week so each day shows the three pressures and easily compared with the other days. You are now living in a warmer enviroment way down south and maybe your pills need an adjustment to accomodate the...

    Another challenge for the grey cells

    But you have said you have an unvented system so it cannot be for filling or adding inhibitor unless it attaches via some valve. It does look like a temporary get around and the answer must lie in that 1/4 BSP thread that is needed to attach something to something but only briefly while some...

    'Carpentry helped me recover the use of my hands' -

    I read an article that was talking about the long term impact on the thumbs of mobile phone users, it seems that the thumbs were intended to perform a gripping motion and not such a regular dance on a phone screen so resulting in potential later life health issues. Cannot find the original...

    Retirement , what is the end game.

    Don't put off retirement and better to do something and regret doing it than regretting not doing it. If you can afford to retire then do it because for many they wish they had done it sooner. So if you fancy a change of scenery then go for it and if you can retire then you can visit...

    Something for the little grey cells !

    Rather than traditional furniture you could have gone for large bean bags or something inflatable which would be easy to move around, just avoid any splinters.

    Wall cupboards in a cold garage

    Fully agree, airflow keeps things dry wheras insulation is more likely to just hold it back.

    Not feeling all there today.

    I would say that is just an apparition of previous existance.

    Flooding

    No one has mentioned EV's and hopefully 100% of people know they have no air intake because they have no ICE. Here also you would hope a large proportion of people also know that electricity and water do not mix so they should not go wading through floods.

    Flooding

    If you drive into water then it is your fault, I think if your car is parked and gets flooded then you stand a chance providing you have not parked it in a known flood risk zone. As said sensible people will not just drive through a flood, but you see pictures where people must have seen a...

    Because for some they are like a light to a moth whilst the added complexity can reduce the products lifespan and increase potential sales for the company. Just think of cars, all that complexity has put many a decent motor into a salvage yard.

    Something for the little grey cells !

    To get an item of furnature through a doorway you had to remove some door trim and an arm off the furniture, the brown item as shown in the images.

    Tradesmen are doing the job day in and day out whilst being on the gas safe register, they know the consequences and take that extra care, they will also have all the gear to test their work.

    Probably a DIY job, was it a hose with bayonet fitting ? You get far too many people messing with electric's which is bad enough but messing with gas can also impact your neighbours which is really bad news.

    The big advantage of an induction hob is keeping it clean, just a flat surface on which stuff does not get burnt onto. Cleaning a gas hob can be a right pain, five lots of rings to dismantle and plenty of nooks & crannys to clean so not fun.

    I found the same with Rangemaster cookers, looked ok in a traditional kitchen but functionality was second to cosmetics.

    Conversion - bathroom to en-suite

    That soil pipe looks like it has a steep fall, to much and the turds get left behind as the liquid overtakes them. I see that last owner liked the round junction boxes, I bet you have an abundance of them stuck everywhere but at least he did not use scotch locks !

    You cannot beat a good gas hob, it looks and feels right compared to the induction hob which shows no signs of producing any heat, maybe they need to put an artificial red flame effect on them like they do with electric fires.
