    Spec me something to kill brambles

    Roundup Tree Stump Killer, Gallup 360, both take around a week to do their job. Good time to hit the weed, now new leaf growth is starting. And wear eye protection, gloves when using the stuff, & you hire a knapsack sprayer from some hire shops, which is the best way to apply it.

    Removing a drill chuck

    You need to fully open the chuck, if you look closely,will see screw, right down at the bottom of the chuck,you need to remove it first. Then use a large pair of slip joints, stilsons are better, as you can whack them with a hammer to loosen chuck, or large allen key tighten in the chuck and...

    Bath Stone, limestone - whatever you want to call it.

    All depends on the condition of the block, if really bad, say a corner, I would replace, but you can face up a block, by building up in layers. You can get Rowland Premix comes in 25Kg bags, expensive around £25 a bag Travis Perkins sells it, hunt around might find it cheaper...

    New boiler - anyone know anything about the Ideal Logic + HE35 Combi??

    3 storey house, is it struggling with hot water or heating? A combi & a 3 story house:(, I would go with a system with unvented cylinder, which gives you copious amounts of hot water at mains pressure,dependent on your mains pressure. Any combi will struggle to give you a invigorating shower...

    Ring Main - old flat

    Have a full test on the wiring first, will tell you the overall condition of the electrics, then decide your next step, pointless replacing consumer unit if rest of electrics are in a poor state, plus a radial in modern kitchen is old fashion today, with the number of appliances in use in one...

    What "man jobs" have you done today?

    Little tip. Always tape glass panels both sides above doorways, before trying to removing glass panel, could prevent a nasty accident.

    I would say so. The swa cable in the garage, that runs to the house, what does it connect to in the house.

    New boiler - anyone know anything about the Ideal Logic + HE35 Combi??

    Prefer Bosch over Ideal. Which Worcester Bosch CDI Compact have they suggested, just looking at online prices for combi boiler packs, for Bosch, Ideal & Valliant, available with either a vertical or horizontal flue & timer. What's the extra £400+ for, interested to know. Vaillant ecoTEC Pro...

    Painting inside garage walls

    You ain't going to fit any smallish RCD consumer unit to a 13amp spur. This was covered in this thread. http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?p=24762145

    Painting inside garage walls

    A non fused spur off a ring main can feed one single or one double socket, or a fused connection unit which can feed how many sockets you like, as they are protected by the fused in the fused connection unit. Can't lay my hands on my regs book, don't think this has change, but I may be wrong.

    Painting inside garage walls

    1st Photo. The garage is on a spur off the kitchen I expect, so your your scuppered. Either need to replace your current consumer unit with a larger one,to provide space for a 40amp mcb or fit an additional new two-way consumer unit fitted with a isolating switch & 40 amp mcb for the garage...

    Which boiler system for a 4 bedroom house?

    You can buy mains water pressure test gauge for £10, might find cheaper on the bay. It's connection will fit a washing machine valve. Mains pressure can be low as 1 bar,but usually any where from 2-4 bar depends on various factors, but could be much higher 6-10 bar...

    Which boiler system for a 4 bedroom house?

    Personal choice I suppose, seen a lot of combi's in big houses, works perfectly ok,but when you have 2-3 bathrooms, plus showers then a unvented cylinder is a better option, if you have a large family, in my opinion, but others say you won't use more than one bath a time, so a unvented cylinder...

    Also thought it more likely be a radial, but I have seen 16a ring mains many years ago, funny thing that was in Aberdeen.
