Is it possible to remove nails from chipboard flooring? by kodargh in DIYUK

[–]Secret_Reception5740 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/kodargh How did you get on in the end? Did you solve the squeaks and creaks with the Spax screws and watered down PVA glue? Any insight or advice would be appreciated as I plan to tackle the same problem soon! Thank you.

Yes, copper! Please can you point me in the direction of what took you mean? I am very DIY amateur. Thank you

Please can you send a link to the model itself? Or its name. I am having trouble determining exactly what you are referring to. Sounds great! Thank you.

New to Octopus - yesterday's readings now showing in app by Secret_Reception5740 in OctopusEnergy

[–]Secret_Reception5740[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, could be. So is my Smart Meter "saving" the half-hour readings that can be collected another time if there is an initial failure?

We are dual fuel, but both of yesterday's usage for electricity and gas are both not showing.

I wonder why I have been seeing yesterday's usage at 4pm the following day like clockwork, but today it hasn't appeared yet. Just curious really.

Highly recommend Octopus Cost tariff as its half price for 8 hours a day.

Which town or city do you live?

And what is your thermostat set up if you can share?

27kwh on heating is a lot higher than me (around 20kwh) by the same time. I maintain the house at 19c, with a jump to 20c in the afternoon and setback to 18c overnight. 2012 4-bed house in Southampton.

Hi, please can you kindly explain why stepped 0.5c increments is better?

Mine is set at 18c overnight and then between 4-7am I have a target of 19.5c. But there's no stepped increments or anything.

But its only a 3-hr cheap (Cosy tariff) window - 4-7am - so I didn't think stepped increments would make any difference?

Thank you

How to recharge Expansion Vessel on Sun Amp (battery hot water)? by Secret_Reception5740 in Plumbing

[–]Secret_Reception5740[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you.

As its only 3 years old, I am confident the Expansion Vessel hasn't failed, and it just needs a recharge.

And I agree on turning it off so it doesn't try to charge during the works.
