I haven't reviewed the DVD yet (I work crazy hours). They would have gone full length (only 3m to valve and elbow). Doubt they checked vent - where is it?…

Well, the toilet "flushes" (cistern empties), but it takes 3 minutes to slowly drain.
After moving into our brand new house only a month ago, I didn't want to waste time…

Dimmable push-button switches and multi-way switching

Thanks. Will check them out too. Have since determined which componentry in the HPM range will work with the dimmable LEDs we plan to install. At the end of the…

Aveling build

Hey, I'm looking at your "to do as soon as we move in" list. I'm doing something similar, but we're thinking late April handover (with Aveling too).

Our Half Acre Heaven- patience finally rewarded!!

Sorry, 5) gutters/downpipes. If they're painted zincalume you can get it in any colour and choose something inconspicuous. We've pretty much made our minds up on most things now, but…

Hey there! Stumbled on your thread looking up Surfmist roof, and a few other things here interested me too:

Neighbour's tin roof causing glare

I'm trying to rule out Surfmist for the same reason. It will settle, but in the meantime glare is immense. Which way is the house facing? I'm wondering whether north…
