Comments (36)Hello again!! Just short of 2 years later, my den is finally finished and looks pretty much like how I've envisaged it. Few months ago, I was extremely lucky to meet this carpenter who is really good and doesn't mind building my 'designs' :)) and we got to work. After finishing the hall and main bedroom (http://www.houzz.co.uk/projects/723044/hall / [https://www.houzz.co.uk/discussions/colour-for-unit-top-dsvw-vd~2977620[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/discussions/colour-for-unit-top-dsvw-vd~2977620)) we finally started on my den. As you'll notice, in planning the space, I've used a mixture of your ideas above: it has a secret door, a (folding) desk, it's a bit of an art gallery and has a few other surprises! The initial plan had to be altered to accommodate my new hobby :)). Almost one year ago, I had this mad idea to start painting (on) glass and then to make silly clay figurines, so I adapted the space to suit my pursuits (like the slightly tilted shelves for paints, peg board for scissors, top shelf for expo, etc). Plus, you can't really tell which of the panels are in fact secrets doors!! As for the rest, I bought a rubber mat to protect the oak floor and I'm using a trolley for the rest of the materials, so it can easily be moved out the way in case we need access to the back. Carpenter insisted on the LEDs, I'm not that keen on them. So, ignoring the arty-farty clutter, what do you think of my space?...See MoreCentral Heating - Pipe Sizing?
Comments (1)Radiator cold spots at the bottom of a radiator is usually an indication of a build up of sludge in the radiator. If the flow and return are both hot and the central and bottom part of the radiator is cold then the water is flowing through but there's a blockage in one or more flow channels. You could just take off the radiator and check or have the whole system power flushed professionally, but if this was a recent installation it should of had a powerflush. You should also have a filter (magnaclean etc) near the boiler (on the return?) and its best to add an inhibitor to the water. Sorry, i can't help with pipe sizes, when i used to do central heating everything was 22 and 15mm and low water content systems were just starting to get popular but i thought the mini/micro bore served individal radiators and were fed from a manifold....See MoreHeating alternatives
Comments (9)I've been mulling over the same dilemma. Problem with ASHP is they're just so expensive. And if you're not having underfloor heating (which is also really expensive!), then you are likely to need bigger rads than with gas boiler.My understanding is that with the govt payback scheme you may get around half the cost back (I read this somewhere, haven't calculated it for my house yet). So still considerably more than gas boiler. And there probably isn't going to huge annual savings on running the system Vs a gas boiler because gas is so much cheaper than electricity. I'm leaning towards keeping existing system in the hope that we will be able to use hydrogen boilers in future, which will be much less disruptive to install....See MoreJobs to do match to tradesmen and their chronological order
Comments (14)Hi Lifestyle Kitchens, Thanks for the reply I will get a design from Howdens today. It will be based on what Jonathan had suggested (enclosed within) I hope this should be enough, for the electrician & plumber to build open. I plan to take down the wall between the kitch and diner, and insert an RSJ beam so a builder should be fine with that Not sure why I need a designer for bedrooms, as I won’t be making any changes. As for the bathroom, will hold horses and depends on how things go about, will decide at the end Kind Regards Mel...See MoreBecci C
