Re: Tripping mcb

When you try to reset the MCB does it make a big "splat" itself and fail to latch? if so obviously you do have a pretty serious short somewhere, if no splat but just fails to latch it might be a knackered MCB itself, fairly rare but not unknown. If you have unplugged and switched off every...

Re: Sparrows!

Brilliant, this is a hobby of mine too, did anyone remember the big garden birdwatch this weekend? I have a selection of boxes around the garden, some with 27mm hole for blue and coal tits, some with 32mm hole for great tits and finches and a couple with half fronted boxes for robins and starlings. ...

Re: Out of the blue, almost!

Hi people, thank you for your kind words they do help more than you can know. I am sorry to hear of your trials Tinbum, sadly the NHS has been underfunded for so long the truth is health care is rationed, people like me come along with potentially life threatening conditions and we jump ahead of you...

Re: Out of the blue, almost!

Hallo chaps, I thought an update might be useful for some, apologies if this is a bit explicit but no point in beating around the bush. Mods if you think this inappropriate feel free to delete. When I was first diagnosed it didn’t really seem real, maybe there was some mistake was a question rattlin...

Re: Starting out on my heat pump journey

Hi Ronski, I am starting to think along the same lines, we "only" have six zones for the heating but as we rarely have more than any 2 on at once I am thinking that the pipework will be fine, our largest zone is 3 pretty big rads fed from 22mm primaries and then 15mm secondaries. I would ...

Re: Garage Floor Damp Issue... Any suggestions please?

Looking good, I would let that thoroughly dry out then flick some water on it from a brush, if it looks in the least absorbent I would give it a couple of blackjacks. As BTB says you have done the hard work opening it all up, don't risk doing it twice. I was looking at some old damp remediation jobs...
