Can anyone help, I need to name the stages of construction (for an assignment) of a brick house from excavation to ...lock-up? I believe there are 13-15 stages each requiring different sub-contractors. Even links to sites would be really helpful, as even with that I am having no luck!

When I turn my central heating on, the boiler doesn't fire up. The boiler is working as I have hot water.

The pump is silent and if I put my hand on it, there is no vibration, could it be the pump?

There is a small squre aluminium box with a lever on it (some type of valve?) which makes a clicking noise. I have moved the little lever to the three various positions but it makes no difference.

What do you think folks? A new pump? Or a new valve thingy?

I have installed pavers that sit flush with the ground by digging down 7-8" and laying the base material, etc and installing the pavers with metal bordr to keep things in place. How do I keep everything solid if I am building off the ground and filling before I install the pavers. Obviously the metal border is out since it would be exposed and out of the ground.

How would you start to cut a tree branch, which is round and eccentric along its axis. I could screw it to a board parallel to the branch to get a straight cut on the other side but can it be done without screwing into the wood? Should this idea be abandoned?
