Originally posted by zeitghost View PostDoes your cellar suffer much in the way of flooding?
Every other house in the road suffers from it, and unfortunately we live in an odd-numbered house - next door is fine.
There is a hole in the cellar floor, through which the water backs up. So I have a pump in the hole with a float, so that when it gets too much it pumps it up the hose pipe in the wall, out through the garden and into the road in front of the house.Comment

Originally posted by FiveTimes View PostWho's got it ?
I've heard its easy to put down, just comes on a roll and you tile over the top.
Anyone know the best (cheapest) place to buy from ?
Good for taking the edge off the floor, but not really for heating the whole room, but we have it set reasonably low (25 degrees!)Comment

Originally posted by HeliCraig View PostI would love to be rid of ours - but we aren't on mains gas, and I haven't yet looked into whether we can get a hob which runs on LPG?
We had a work colleague of my mum's come up at one stage, who said "oh, it's chilly tonight - you'll have to turn the gas up". My sister said "oh, we don't have gas, we're on oil".
Smug git turned round and said "You don't have gas?!? They have gas in Ethiopia!"
My (less than subtle, but quick-witted) sister responded "Yes, but we've got food, though" which fair shut him up.Comment

Originally posted by TheFaQQer View PostThat was my dream - the builder told me that it would be warm and dry, and could be carpeted. It was going to be my games room....
And then it flooded, builder disappeared, and left it in a mess.
He foolishly thought it would add value to his house. What it did, I suspect, is stop it by falling so much.
He had no choice to sell it last year anyway as part of the divorce. A very bad year for him.Comment

Originally posted by HeliCraig View PostI also have this to do. The first part will get done today. The latter may not get done until next week now.
HMRC are offering better interest on early payment than my reserve account at the moment, so I may as well get it in early!Comment
