Anyone out there know any sites I can contact for info and help? It's gotta be possible.... I'd also like to run a zip line through the campsite. Any ideas? I appreciate your time and knowledge! Thanks!

Hi all, I have a problem with bleeding a radiator and would be very grateful if anyone could help me! The problem is that I can't find a bleed valve: the normal bleed valve at the top is on some rads, but not all rads in the house. This radiator only has the on/off valve and another thing (which I think is called a 'lockshield valve') ...hope someone can help!, cheers

My house has two bedrooms. The front bedroom is the master bedroom and is the full width of the house. The back bedroom has been extended and its also a big room (23ft long). I was thinking about converting the front bedroom into 2 rooms which would end up as a decent sized room and a box room. Would it add much value to my house as it could then be marketed as a 3 bedroom. I'm not planning on selling for a while so in the mean time it would be handy as a study or maybe one day a nursery.
