Doesn't seem to be one of these threads around.
Can anyone advice where I can get plastic tubing about a metre in length and with a radus of 15cm. I'm not looking for a drain pipe. Anywhere in the Limerick area?

Do you know anyone in the ESB? Or during the middle of roadworks while waiting at the temporary traffic lights, jump out and load up the car.

Good thread.
My tumble dryer keeps coming on saying the filter has an error. I've cleaned the filter in the front, but it's still on. It's a Zanussi zde67550w - purchased 1 year and 12 days ago (warranty covers 1 year only).
Wonder if there is an internal filter?

That sounds like planned obsolescence fitzy.
If it does have a clock/date function, why not try fooling it by re-setting the date to say 1st Sep 2010..... ;0
No clock function 99. Just a bleeping thingy saying filter error.

Our machine has a sneaky manufacturer's filter as well as an everyman's filter. unfortubately it cost me quarter the price of the machine in a call out charge to fing it out. Try removing the back plate on the machine and have look.

Thanks Boo, I was thinking it might have. Dryer have shed loads of static parts though, so I might leave it to an expert.

Plug it out for 5 mins Fitzy. Might reset the error light?
It's been off 24 hours John. Light came on as soon as I switched it on. More goolging has indeed revealed a "hidden" internal fluff detector. The advise is not to go near it yourself, but to get it serviced.
Zanussi will be getting my wrath in the morning.

Try taking it back to the shop, we did that with a tv last year that was more than a year out of warranty and they looked after it, shops want to keep people happy these days, its worth a chance anyway, it worked for us with Harvey Norman to be fair to them.

We had the door interlock fail on the washing machine & and dishwasher door springs break recently... ordered parts from e-spares in the UK and they also have a large number of videos showing how to replace parts... great resource... fixed both for the €30 it cost for the parts !!

Anyone know the necessary depth for an ESB supply cable, have to dig a trench for one later.
It is useless to attempt to reason a man out of a thing he was never reasoned into.
Every plan I have is the best plan in the room. Everybody get quiet and listen to it, and everybody will win
600mm for a road or 400mm for a footpath if that is any help to you.

That's brilliant, Boo, thanks.

My Zanussi was the PCB i.e. motherboard. The shop where we bought it helpfully doctored the purchase invoice to make it look as though it was in warranty, so we got it fixed for free.
Good customer service!

I need to get some additional attic insulation done for a relative. It's a big attic. c.2400sq. feet.
200mm of rockwool or equiv. would be optimal. Any suggestions?
Either try one of the bigger building supplies (Brooks, Chadwicks, Buckleys, etc) or go to one of the insulation guys (lots of 'em out there.
Pm where you are John. Ive a few contacts and can get some good prices on it.

The stove is going great and we have bought seasoned soft wood in bulk which was much less expensive than the hardwood. But we have found that turf, although messier for storing, is the best price and when the fire gets going it produces a very high heat. The double glazing was done and now...he who must be obeyed, is not happy. There is no point in heating a house to see it dissipate out through poorly insulated; 22 year old external house walls. He is right but just as I thought it was safe to clean I find myself on a building site again.
We did price the external insulation and got a ridiculous price in and around 11,000-15,000 BUT THERE'S A GRANT. Yeah right!! The external walls are built from cavity block so cannot be pumped etc with insulation. so himself has investigated and come up with a plan. His company are back to work but doing all the safety courses etc this week and so they finish early. I came home yesterday to no inside walls in my bedroom. He has ripped off the plasterboard and taken the wooden batons off. the new insulation has plasterboard attached so you cut it to size and use a special sticky stuff to adhere it to the block work. It's about 3 inches thick. I have walls in my bedroom again and when I left for work, the baby had been turfed out of her cot and he is pulling down her walls.
Then tomorrow it is the hall stairs and landing and then just the downstairs bathroom and back bedroom. The upstairs bathroom was done when he pulled out the old bathroom and the attic was done when he converted that.
In all it will cost us about 2,000 doing it himself as against 11,000-15,000 which was only the price of the gable wall. Not a bad saving even if I do have to live with the rubble again.
Oh and did I mention 'expanding foam'. It fills in every nook and cranny and is by far his most favourite stuff.

That a great job Boo Boo the insulated slabs. Ive an old house and I did it too all the outer walls. Its so easy to heat the house now.
My father is 78 and was a carpenter who suffers now from arthritis badly from an accident after breaking 40 bones when he was in his 30's. Anyway he always has to stay doiing something with his hands be it playing solitaire or making things. He has been busy lately with making paper blocks. He cuts up paper and soaks it in a bucket with some washing up liquid for a few days. He than puts it into a machine which squashes it into a brick. He leaves it to dry for a week. It will burn for up too two hours.
We still have the oil burner for the heating and two open fires but his kept busy. He has over a 100 made and posted out one to all the gran children around the country for x mass presents which was a good laugh. We now send our papers home to him and he borrows my brothers shredder or gives the kids scissors to help him. Handy way of keeping busy and warm.

A warm home is a real pleasure. My seaside abode has performed admirably so far. It's been unseasonably mild, but even allowing for that the work that was done here has been well worth it.
Yes could see yourself and Outlaw sitting down together making bricks out of the champion and connacht tribune. A world warm and at peace.

That'll happen. Not.
Ive a real case of I told you so in our house. I wanted to replace the windows at the front of the house as they are nearly a hundred years old during the summer. But the war office didnt think it needed to be done.
Ha Ha The last few nights in Dublin with the wind would make you think about dorothy and Kansas its been so windy.
Unreal winds lately so now Its a good idea to get them done but I didnt say a thing, I was like the U.N.
New Windows coming soon

That is great for your Dad. He should ask his local newsagent for the throw aways as all the need to keep is the paper header on the front page and the rest of the paper they dump. We bought one for our neighbour next door and he works away with it too.
Aren't you glad you got your Kansas moment. I remember as a kid that one of our houses was really old and it had the old glass windows and it had a fireplace in each room and there were massive beech trees outside that cast wicked shadows against the street lights and the noise on a windy night was goulishly terrifying.
I have noticed a big difference in the noise element which is great. Mr. Boo-boo never really asks me but we discuss things and then months later I walk in and there is windows or walls missing or a digger in the back garden. He uses the element of suprise when he attacks the DIY which gives me no time to dig the heels in. It is not that I am against the improvements but I do not relish the mess and the juggling.

Oh Ya I'd love to be able to do that and start the kitchen but I'd be killed if I surprised her like that. Fair play to you for letting him run riot like that. But every house has its balance and where do you run riot? My hidden secret is stuff I dont like in the house. I have a skip in work and always bring stuff to work to skip. Her Parents are well healed but love car booth sales auctions and charity shops. Hense we get loads of books, furniture Toys with parts missing, Religious stuff to beat the band, Odd mugs scarfs and so much other crap. Mugs with the Union jack and DVD'S in german?
I dump it all or drop it to a charity shop far away from where they live. They knock enjoyment out of it and there are some good finds but it gets them out and about.
