How true, when you're up to your whatsit in a tricky situation the net is not an ideal source of info. I bought my daughter the Collins DIY book... now when she rings me up with a diy question I refer her to to page xxx :-) |

The '"Which" book of Plumbing & Central Heating' is good as a starting
point. I put in central heating with it's help, not having done it before. You'd need something better for finer details like handling lead pipe/sheet, or for more technical stuff on alternative systems etc. cheers jacob |

Guide to Plumbing and Heating (at least I think that's what it's called) It was good enough for me to be able to install a complete central heating system from scratch. Certainly worth taking a look at. Andrew |
