Dear Lazyweb,


So I'm looking for some of those magnetic cupboard closure thingies. You know, where you shut the cupboard and the magnet thing on the door attaches to the magnet thing on the frame, and it stays shut. I have three floor-ceiling cupboards and I can't be arsed to secure the bolts all the time.


So what are they called? I've hunted high and low on websites, but can't find 'the thing', probably because I'm not using the right words. Or I'm looking in the wrong place.

Oh, I've never bought cupboards. These are 1930s floor-to-ceiling built in hall cupboards, with vast expanses of wood. That always seem to swing open when not attached...Drives me mad!

If you put any liquid sealent into your heating system it is likely to block parts that are not at fault, and cost you a lot of money later, if you are going to open your system to put it in, then why not open it at the leaking place it might be just a washer or loose fitting, get it done now before the winter sets in or when a plumber is very busy.

There is a drain down point somewhere very low mostly outside the back door of a house, if you did drain the system it might relieve the pressure in the pipe at least it would remove the rust that otherwise will act as a blockage with the sealent added. Dont forget to turn off your heater first and bleed the radiators afterwards.

Thanks SteveT. Will pop down.


computedshorty, the problem is that the whereabouts of the very slow leak is unknown, but the very gradual drop in pressure suggests there might be one. Have had the floorboards up in various places, and various bits of plumbing done to replace sections, and no joy yet...

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
