    gas supply / pipe route

    I would do it in Copper as much as possible and flexi for the last bit. You are doing nothing illegal by running all the pipework but strictly obeying the regulations, an accredited gas engineer needs to test the installation and issue a certificate. Most selfbuilders don't bother I suppose, so...

    Want a cheap selfbuild?

    You may have noticed that I did not get involved in the argument you mention. Personally, I do not hold Phil responsible for the Holocaust, at least I will give him the benefit of the doubt. That is because I have met him and he seems a nice lad. A few years working down the pit might have...

    Leisure battery advice

    I have 2 x 110 Ah Numax batteries like the ones chancer mentioned. They are 3 years old and still going strong. I take care of them by not draining them past 50%. Having a solar panel has made a big difference to their life.

    wood finish on units

    If you need to buy anything in, I was told last weekend that Magnum at Grimsby is the best place to go for price and to pick material yourself. I was told that O'leary are not as good nowadays.

    Picked up my NEW project on Friday...

    I was always a Sunderland supporter first and a Newcastle supporter a close second. There was less ill feeling when I was younger, not like nowadays. If I could not afford to travel to a Sunderland away game, I would go to St james' Park instead. Thousands of fans only went to home games...

    Tankless Water Heaters

    When we eventually get round to extending our kitchen at home, I intend to fit one of these heaters. It will be much cheaper to use than the main central heating boiler.

    Can I Pick Your Brain?

    Google Khyam Tailgate XL. It might do you. Conversely, sell your van to Rachel :idea-007:........ she is only 5' 2" you know, bless her little cotton socks :angel:

    Can I Pick Your Brain?

    Seen as how I am the only member who actually has a brain, I suppose I should answer this. It is possible to have a rear extension on a panel van. A google might throw one up but some converters are doing this now. You would have to work out how to make it watertight so I suppose something...

    Status tv ariels, which one?

    Admittedly, a few years ago, you were better off with a wire coathanger but times have changed due to the digital switchover. The flying saucer model came with the van and it works quite well nowadays. In fact I can pick up nearly all channels on my driveway when 3 years ago, my Status 530...

    on demand water heater install

    An interesting thread and a bit spooky as I often wonder why they are not widely used in homes as well. If I could fit one at home, in the kitchen, I would and might do it when we do a revamp. My main reason is economy. About 5 years ago, we had a very dry summer and as a water saving measure, I...
