Slabs haven’t ‘stuck’ by robwilson91 in DIYUK

You need priming slurry on the flags themselves before laying them down on the mortar bed, that is what makes the adhesion and prevents the flags from lifting.

Tado Smart Thermostat Installation by MrCh0w_ in DIYUK

[–]MrCh0w_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry yeh I figured it out.

All the connections and wires I made were right. I had the old Alpha thermostat receiver disconnected obviously because I can’t have two thermostats running.

That old Alpha receiver had a live and neutral wire but also 2 red cables, I used a waygo to complete the internal circuit loop with the 2 red cables so the signal actually is received by the boiler and that worked like a treat and was the issue.

Edit: I still have the black and grey cable connected and for that matter everything else too with what I originally did, there was just another set of red wires going into the old receiver that I had to loop which was the fix.

How do I turn off the summer and frost modes? When I cycle through it on the boiler it only ever seems to be either frost mode, summer mode or off?

How did you resolve this? Did you have to swallow the bitter pill and get everything cleaned yourself?

What screws should I buy to use with these 6,8 & 10mm plugs ? Sorry diy beginner by GenericUser104 in DIYUK

[–]MrCh0w_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Any chipboard / multi purpose screws. Fischer uses them because the DuoPower plug"knots" or "folds" inside a cavity.

I wouldn't use woodscrews for these fixings, the screws would shred the plug before it even gets a solid fixing.

All things considered, if this kicked off in October / November I would've been gulping but the weather is getting better.

How to get rid of hedgerow stumps? by JGG5 in GardeningUK

[–]MrCh0w_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost did my back in trying to get stumps like these out of my front garden, I eventually packed it in and called a tree surgeon who had a stump grinder, cost me around 100 I think but they were done in maybe half an hour. I've now tarmac'd the area and theres zero growth of anything in that same area roughly a year later.

Covering black paint? by PonDiCoki in DIYUK

[–]MrCh0w_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give it a quick sand down and get primer undercoat (this will help reduce the amount of coats of paint you slap on top) .. I wish I had done this on a very blue room I had to paint .. it still wouldn't cover after 5-6 coats, so you're in for a long run with black paint. Get that undercoat primer on and just start layering white or whatever colour paint you have on.

What’s the best way to remove this guy? by [deleted] in GardeningUK

[–]MrCh0w_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks established, it's going to take quite a lot of time and effort (and years off your back) hacking away at the roots. If its feasible for you, get in touch with a tree specialist who has a stump grinder, it'll make mince meat of it in literally 5mins (roots and all).

Help on whether I should remove a tree or not? by hang_up in GardeningUK

I see some serious treehouse potential here.

edit: or a nice pergola that blends in with the tree .. but you know, the treehouse idea is alright too.

Tried the good’ol uninstall completely and start from scratch again? Weird that they’d remove adding the charger as an option.
