White goods power consumtion
|
| |
Having recently installed solar panels I'm now searching for the power consumption of various equipment in the house and am struggling. For example, our kettle says it's 3 kilowatt.

removing kitchen tiles
|
| |
before our new kitchen arrives, I have to remove the tiles. Trouble is, trying to get them off is messing up the plasterboard underneath them - is there a way or a tip to getting tiles off a plasterboard wall, without damaging the plasterboard?

They are supplied unfinished "ready for painting or varnishing" I won't be painting them, but I'm not sure I want to use varnish either, don't want them too glossy. Would some form of... more »

leaking radiator valve
|
| |
My towel radiator valve is leaking. From the outside it looks like this [link]
and from the inside like this [link] - this shows where it's leaking from.
Looks to me as though the brass valve body is faulty and that I should be able to replace it with a new one. How standard is this part? I don't want... more »
