I've just looked at some of the wallpapering videos. These people are useless. I'm going to have to start making my own videos.

Thanks for the video but this is a flat and the pipe is connected to the sink (plastic thingy)

You can film them at my house for a fee, could you do a few showing how to strip a large room of wood chip.  :P

Sometimes it comes off easily, not very often though. It's one of the few times I'd use a steam stripper but that'll often fetch off big patches of plaster.

The biggest room's not too bad as some of it is starting to come away from the wall so I'm hopeful

Years ago, I remember seeing some kind of liquid wallpaper stripper - iirc, it was applied to the paper with a brush.

Have you ever seen/used it, Webbo? Is it any good?

It's a con. Just use hot water and a squeeze of washing up liquid.

So... No takers then ? lol

I'm not sure what you're finding so difficult, jit.

I've just fitted a new machine, and it was a simple case of screwing down the fitment that comes on the end of the inlet pipe. The water outlet pipe fitted into a built-in receptor in the waste pipe under the sink.

It was literally a two minute job.

So you want someone to take the plug off, feed the cable  past the pipe, refit the plug, plug into socket.

 

If this is the case I presume you don't know how to wire up a plug.

The waste pipe from the washing machine should go under the sink. But I don't know how to get it in

It usually just hooks in.

TBH I would be no good at installing a washing machine. I am not even sure  the plumber that  fitted mine did a great job. If i put it on the warmer wash it does not go through all the cycles and carries on filling when it is spinning meaning if I do not watch it the kitchen can be flooded.

More likely that it's a faulty machine.

sounds like there might be something stuck in the filter. could be a coin or something.

It empties ok on quick wash. It was new when I got it. Never got round to having it checked. may get a new one now anyway.

I just dare not leave it because I was told if it happens again I would be charged for damage. It leaks to the passageway.

So even with a new one  I would be wary. 

I also need my boiler checking. The meter is flashing 1/2. Its a combi also. Cannot reset or refill. Thought it would improve after an up to date boiler was installed but it is the same problem as my old one. It is serviced then a few weeks later it shows a fault.
