bungalow

A bungalow is a small house or cottage that is either single-story or has a second story built into a sloping roof (usually with dormer windows), and may be surrounded by wide verandas.The first house in England that was classified as a bungalow was built in 1869. In America it was initially used as a vacation architecture, and was most popular between 1900 and 1918, especially with the Arts and Crafts movement.
The term is derived from the word bangla (meaning "Bengali") and used elliptically to mean "a house in the Bengal style."

It consists of a wall mounted Ideal Concord WCF 255A boiler with the flow and return (28mm) going up into the loft where the pump and 3 motorised valves are fitted (I think it was called an S plan plus). This allows separate...

    Hi, I've just put in a new bath in my bungalow and everything is fine, except there doesn't seem to be much pressure in either the hot or cold water. I fitted a new mixer tap with single lever action and wondered if this has anything to do with it.
