We have a new boiler and thermostat. DH wanted to know why I chose the Honeywell CM907 and looked a bit bemused when I said because PigletJohn said so.. :-)

Dh also looked Hmm when I told him not to use PVA glue on our newly plastered walls prior to tiling as our builder had told him to. I didn't go as far as to mention PigletJohn by name though Grin.

What boiler did he recommend to you OP? Google of Honeywell CM907 took me to thermostat controller stuff.

I bought an Aqualisa shower for our just-fitted bathroom, because PigletJohn said so…
DH and I are both very happy with it!

We have the Yale alarm because pigletjohn said so Grin. I also never ever EVER dry washing indoors coz pigletjohn said it was equivalent to throwing buckets of water at your walls.

Dh does that face too.

I have been cross hatching wallpaper before soaking and stripping today because PJ said so.

My husband just smiles as he asks me to check what PigletJohn has to say on any given (building type) subject...

In an alternative world I'd like to be apprenticed to pigletjohn and never touch spreadsheets again!

LeLivre it was just the thermostat that was mentioned on numerous previous threads. PigletJohn would get on well with our heating engineer as he agreed. We are oil so have just had a Grant fitted.

I wish I'd asked PJ which boiler to get!

I'm jealous.

Thanks to PJ I don't have a smelly washing machine and always open the windows when I dry washing indoors.

Piglet John did hint that he is a virtual person, a sort of male Lara Croft. I don't believe him though. Wink

I wish he was a woman cause it would be cool for a female to know so much about heating etc but I suppose he is male

IN a nutshell, hot washes (ideally in an empty machine) at least once a week and always use bio tablets or powder.

SO simple and so effective. PJ rules!
