wish I hadn't started taking the old 50g cold tank and the old CH header tank out of the loft...what a mess ...pipe work and fittings will be a good source of spares though......had to cut the 50 g tank in half.....what a pain that was....
Yesterday I plastered in new socket boxes in the bedroom.
This morning I realised I'd forgotten to drill through for the spur to the hall.
Owain
oh dear...it must be nice to have lodza money and get everything in the house and car done for you ....but then again where is the fun ......?
Ping out one of the rear cable entry points and drill through that. Easy.
I don't make mistakes because I'm perfect.
Bill
and I bet you are a perfectionist as well .......
I wish I were!
It would be boring .....
Drill a hole in one of the cutouts on the back of the box. Screw in a self tapper. Pull out the cutout. Drill hole through wall.
I have that feeling after I decide the paint on a door was a bit rough so maybe it's be better stripping the door of paint.
Nah.
1.Use a small sharp screwdriver and a hammer. Gently tap the little bit of metal at one side of the knock out where it isn't perforated. When it's cut through lever the knock out out.
Bill
I can drill a hole elsewhere, but the annoyance factor is I could have done the plastering in one go rather than two.
Owain
Hammering on a box set into plaster may not be the cleverest thing to do.
Eh?
Mine is still in the loft taking up room. its galvanised quite thick metal. How did they get it in in the first place? Brian
I often wondered if they put them up and build the roof around them. Or maybe get them up through the gable end and then brick them in. However it was done, there was obviously no thought given to the fact that they might need to be replaced at some stage.
Rightly, as it turned out, because by the time they needed replacing no-one wanted large galvanised tanks. They preferred plastic ones or plastic liners, or solutions not involving a storage tank at all.
I had to cut mine in half with the scorpion saw to get it down the hatch.... ......
as the house gets built ...some tanks fold up....
but they usualy fit between roof trusses but not when thy finish the hatch ....
I said 'gently tap'. Use skill.
Half past three.
