I just bought a 100,000 BTU All Pro Kerosene heater from a garage sale for 20 bucks. It works, and still works great after i cleaned up the helocoptor seeds, and peanut shells from the inside. I also rebent the cover to prevent the fan from rubbing against the cover. The only problem is it coughs a tiny bit of flame.

I have no tv aerial. A previous tenant in my flat was obviously linked up to ntl but I don't want their services...I now want an aerial becasue I want freeview...but I can't seem to get a signal. I have tried to reattach an aerial connection from the ntl point on my wall...but to no avail! Help! Plus...if someone has to come out to fix it, will ntl do it for free?

My boyfriend's birthday is coming up soon and I'm not that rich. I want to be able to make him something. I've drawn him a picture before and am making a calendar for Christmas but I'm stumped as to what I can do for his birthday? What could I make this time? I'd like it to mean something. I love him. :)

I have a Blue Cotton T-Shirt and it has several Grease marks in it. This has ruined a lovely T-Shirt. We have washed it several times in Washing Machine and hand washing but nothing will get this horrible mark out. Has anyone got any tips on how to get this mark out?

This is in a first floor flat (i.e. water has to travel up one story from mains). When turning on the hot tap, the burner light clicks on and the boiler 'sounds' as though it is working. It will stay on for up to about 10 seconds and then click off - as though a pre-requisite for heating water has not been satisfied. This may happen many times until eventually the boiler stays on and heats the water correctly. In some cases, it has continually clicked on/off for about 20 minutes (wasting water...) before I've given up.

An engineer has visited before and mentioned that it was due to water pressure coming up from the mains. Water company checked and said that wasn't the case.

The pressure on the boiler (I believe, not next to the unit right now) is normally around 1.5 / 2 bar.

With experience, it seems the lower the flow rate out of the hot tap, the more likely I am to get hot water.

I wonder if anyone has any advice before we have to call an engineer out again.

Cheers,

Chris
