Garage door draught excluder
Mon, 15 Sep 2008 11:44:57 +0100
Hi,
I am about to fit a draught excluder to my up and over garage door. I
have a real muppet question - should this be fitted to the inside or the
outside of the door?
I assumed that it should go on the inside so that the seal folds under
the door as it closes, however I notice that a neighbour has one fit ...

In the last month, four of my doors have started sticking. I look
down the outside edge and see one area contacting the door frame. Do I
plane it downn or adjust the hinges somehow?

Panel heater wiring
Mon, 15 Sep 2008 11:19:31 +0100
Hi
I have a study/spare bedroom with a fitted desk and drawer units along
an outside wall. The 'hole' at which I sit is a useful place for a
panel heater - last winter I had a slimline floor standing one

Combination boiler hot water
Mon, 15 Sep 2008 01:31:44 -0700 (PDT)
Hi,
A corgi registered plumber recently changed the fan in my glow worm
combination boiler, because the old one was making a noise. This is
now fine, but since the plumber left the hot water doesn't work
properly, the boiler fires up when you turn the hot tap on, then shuts
down after a few seconds, then start ...

Mortar Plasticiser
Mon, 15 Sep 2008 06:54:18 GMT
I was looking at the mortar additives in Wickes t'other day and read the
label on the Mortar Plasticiser
http://www.wickes.co.uk/Cement-Additives/Mortar-Plasticiser/invt/240669
Don't really do much with mortar, replace the odd brick on a garden wall,
that sort of thing, just curious really.
It says that it ...

Andy Hall - tribute comments
14 Sep 2008 21:19:57 GMT
I wrapped the comments together into a little booklet, and got it
proof-read by a couple of non-Usenet/non-Internet people to make sure
there was no scope for offence or misunderstanding when read by someone
outside this environment (changed just a couple of words just to be
sure - hope the authors don't mind).

Condensing boiler siting options
Sun, 14 Sep 2008 13:00:30 -0700 (PDT)
Hi
I'm thinking of renewing my combi boiler with a condensing one, but
would struggle to run the condensate to a drain from the existing site
(hall cupboard, vertical flue). The kitchen has flagstones, and the
bathroom is tiled, so moving location of the boiler isn't an easy
option for me. I think this leaves ...

Sun, 14 Sep 2008 12:57:08 -0700 (PDT)
I want to make a few special coving bricks to replace broken ones on a
chimney. I shall make a wooden mould first. Is it practical to speed
