The Haynes Home Plumbing Manual: April 2013
http://homeplumbingmanual.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
The Haynes Home Plumbing Manual. Sunday, 7 April 2013. Sauter Detach Motorised Valves. In a traditional central heating system - where you have a boiler and a hot water cylinder i.e. not a Combi boiler - the boiler itself has no idea what it is heating. All it knows is that cool water comes into it and - with luck - hot water leaves. Where that hot water goes is none of its concern. We went through the process of how to replace these valves within the Haynes Home Plumbing Manual but at the time I had nev...

The Haynes Home Plumbing Manual: Magnaclean Professional 2
http://homeplumbingmanual.blogspot.com/2013/03/magnaclean-professional-2.html
The Haynes Home Plumbing Manual. Thursday, 21 March 2013. If you like money and hate a cold house one of the best things you can buy is a Magnaclean. The magnetic approach to cleaning a central heating system was so efficient and so simple that everyone got in on the act and slowly but surely the Magnaclean lost ground in terms of features, ease of use, ease of fitting etc. Fortunately Adey are not the sort of company to sit around bemoaning their fate and so was born the Magnaclean Professional 2. I am ...

Father hood Tales: July 2014
http://fatherhood-tales.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
The joys of parenthood and the diary of a new father. Wednesday, 9 July 2014. Why Do We Feed Our Kids Crap? How to wear a healthy diet. If you have spent the last 30 years living the life of an agoraphobic hermit with an allergy to newspaper ink and a deep mistrust of the internet you might, just might, have missed the news that the UK is in the middle of an obesity crisis that is now affecting our children. I kid you not! Shame it had that green shit stuck to it! Our children are going to grow up in a w...

Father hood Tales: Nursery fees
http://fatherhood-tales.blogspot.com/2015/03/nursery-fees.html
The joys of parenthood and the diary of a new father. Monday, 2 March 2015. There’s been a lot of debate on this recently, some of it sensible and objective, most of it raging and irrational. Anyone who’s paid any attention to the nursery debate will have heard at least one person say “If you can’t afford to bring up your kids don’t have any! And after all, that’s all we’re talking about; a few years. Why should a couple’s entire life be affected by the fact that they can’t af...One of the people who cam...

Father hood Tales: July 2015

The joys of parenthood and the diary of a new father. Thursday, 9 July 2015. Anyone looking for my earlier blogs on our fight to get our son into his village school is going to be disappointed as I've taken them down. Most importantly thought, we pursued our appeals and all three village children won. As a result of this we've learnt a huge amount about the process and we've made good friends along the way. Don't be afraid of using the Freedom of Information Act. Sadly, most appeals fail so don't build u...

The Haynes Home Plumbing Manual: January 2014
http://homeplumbingmanual.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
The Haynes Home Plumbing Manual. Wednesday, 1 January 2014. Thanks for the reviews. Haynes Home Plumbing Manual. I’d just like to take advantage of the New Year celebrations to offer a large ‘thank you’ to all 29 people who have taken the time to log onto Amazon’s site and give my manual a rating, especially the 22 of you who gave it a 5 star. Much of this was down to Amazon’s ranking system. By all accounts there are 6.5 million books available from Amazon, so when I saw that my manual was...All in all,...

Father hood Tales: The Wonderful Two's
http://fatherhood-tales.blogspot.com/2014/03/the-wonderful-twos.html
The joys of parenthood and the diary of a new father. Tuesday, 11 March 2014. I had rather hoped to follow all these idiosyncrasies as they occurred but I was struck down with 2 slipped discs last March and they rather took the fun out of sitting down to do anything other than immediately standing back up again. So now that I am approaching full fitness again I thought I’d do a summary of the last year, a year that was far from terrible. 8221; to thank for what little insight I have gathered. Marty also ...

The Haynes Home Plumbing Manual: February 2013
http://homeplumbingmanual.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
The Haynes Home Plumbing Manual. Sunday, 24 February 2013. I’ve just been proofreading the manual – bit late now but what the hell – and noticed that I completely failed to mention macerators. When you fit a new bathroom getting the hot and cold water into the new room is usually pretty straight forward. What can be far more complicated is getting the waste water out again. This shouldn’t be a surprise but it often is. So what are the downsides of this? Haynes home plumbing manal. A1 Perfect Plumbing Ltd.

The Haynes Home Plumbing Manual: November 2012
http://homeplumbingmanual.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
The Haynes Home Plumbing Manual. Sunday, 18 November 2012. To my mind “proper” plumbing uses copper tube. I’ve nothing against plastic pipework - it’s terrific stuff for quickly laying the backbone of CH systems - but it’s best hidden from view where the white, floppy, pipework and the large, knobbly, fittings can’t offend the eye. This is a real same because more often than not the time you really need a heat mat is when you have no choice but to aim your blowtorch directly at a flammable surface. Howev...
