Get a man in ~ you know it makes sense.
Never!  cussing:

My office window is falling apart. The frame is knackered (to use a technical term) it leaks and the wind howls through it. I COULD replace it myself but a man will be doing it next week. Cost of window remains the same whether I fit it or not. Builders etc are all laid off and are wandering round looking for cash jobs whilst they claim the dole. For a "decent drink" a man will fit the window for me and make a more professional job of it than I would.
It makes sense I tells ya!

It's all to do with particle size ~ some that you breath in will pass through unhindered but some will lodge in the lungs (Blue asbestos being a prime example.

Well the paint comes in a special... um paint container... so the only way to replace it with water is to empty out five litres of paint somewhere, wash out the paint container then fill it with water.... It is going to be much simpler to return the whole thing to the store.

Back in history the big parties were the Liberals and the Tories. Labour came from nowhere.
The Liberals were the biggest thing around when Lloyd George was leader then suddenly they all but vanished. Upsets do happen and parties can rise through the mess to make a difference ~ tho' to be fair they seem to end up the same as the rest before very long.

Discovering that the world is a real pile of poo run by uncontrollable idiots and there is nothing you can do about it is a significant milestone in life, like a sort of second puberty.

When Government control over every aspect of our lives is complete, when all dissent is outlawed, when it is too late to fight back, what will you say to those who ask ‘What did you do to stop it? Anything? Even one small thing?’

The old cat vomited its guts up on the living room carpet this morning. Bastard. I think it's stress related as the fvkcing kitten keeps attacking him. I can see it now, new carpet down, suite in, PS3 winking invitingly at me, shiny new paintwork. TG stand back and admires it all then the cat walks in and projectile vomits over the lot.

Sums up my life at the moment.

Oh well, piss up with some old workmates tomorrow. I shall become plastered.  surrender:

Just preparing you for the call from the Dulux helpline. Alternatively it does sound like the pump isnt strong enough to force the paint through the pipe. Have you thought about trying to manually pump the paint through first and seeing what that does, after all having read this thread so far you seem one hell of a sucker...  whistle:

The heat may cause the paint to seperate if it has been left standing for long enough but as BM has apparently been shaking and stirring it that shouldn't be a problem.

Have you tried putting the pump higher then the roller?

My dad was a professional painter & decorator. Old School. High standards.

I worked for him as an apprentice for 3 months until he sacked me for being a useless twat.

I still feel ashamed whenever I use a 2 quid B&Q roller (and 5 brushes for a quid) to do a room.

Still, I wouldn't stoop as low as an IcantPaintPod thingy.

He would say : 'Don't be a twat, it will never work' He's been dead a few years but he is evidently still right.  happy088

Hello - BM is currently in the shower because he is covered in blue paint - I hope he's managed to get some to stick to the walls at least................. This is why I semi supported the purchase of the PP because he really is a mucky devil (as we all know) so I thought it may be safer and cleaner for all - how wrong!!
Calls to the Export centre today (by LL not BM I must say) have resulted in us being instructed to take it back to the Limassol store tomorrow where they will be doing demonstrations of the units (going to love to see that) and will test and provide us with a working unit...........
We'll let you know how it goes on but if when we get there BM's unit works then he may be singing soprano for a while  eyes:

Apart from the obvious issues I'd say yes...

Minor complaints: -

1) Roller head thingy heavier than a normal roller
2) Power plug easily pulled out by paint pipe
3) It has a carrying handle... however, when raised you can't open the storage place for the roller

One the plus side: -

1) Less time running up and down ladders to load the roller
2) Very consistent painting - you can control just how much paint on the roller
3) No splashing
4) Paint has very good coverage
5) Cleaning a doddle

I think I'm going to like it...

It would be goog if they had an edging brush that also pumped paint or a smaller roller but that'll probably be in the MK II version...

There is no right or wrong way to fit a bulb ~ so long as the current flows in and out again it will work therefore it makes no difference which wire is on which side of the connection ~ what this may do to the rest of your lighting circuit is another matter. whistle:

Seriously~ so long as there is one wire of each colour connected to the light fitting what does it matter. If your fittings have an earth that will of course need to be connected to the correct point.

DS will, of course, confirm that the right way to fit a bulb is with the root pointing downward (although some corms need to be planted on their sides to prevent water retention and subsequent rot setting in ~ anemones for example)

I never trust the light switch alone. If I am playing with mains cables I switch off at the fuse box or at least remove the fuse to the lighting circuit. I have had my hair stood on end too many times because of (i) faulty switches and (ii) People who think they have switched it the damned dimmer off when in fact they have only turned it down.

NB
Quote
Unlike the ring power circuit, the lighting circuit does not form a loop returning to the consumer unit. The consumer unit is normally connected to the first lamp, which in turn is connected to the second lamp and so on.

The cable used is a 1sq mm PVC twin core and earth rated for up to 12 amps. It consists of a red insulated core for live, black insulated core for neutral with a bare earth conductor between them. The three conductors are laid side by side within a PVC sheath. When connecting the cable, the exposed earth connector must be covered with a sleeve coloured yellow and green (to denote that it's an earth).

The lighting cable is routed from the consumer unit to a series of lighting points for ceiling roses or wall light fittings. The power to each lamp is connected via a wall or ceiling mounted switch. Some light units incorporate their own switch, for these fittings, the power circuit is then connected directly to the fitting.

Which I think proves my point about it not mattering which colour goes where.
