newbie
Newbie, newb, noob, n00b or nub is a slang term for a novice or newcomer, or somebody inexperienced in a profession or activity. Contemporary use can particularly refer to a beginner or new user of computers, often concerning Internet activity, such as online gaming or Linux use.The origin of this term is uncertain. Earliest uses probably date to late twentieth century United States Armed Forces jargon, though possible precursor terms are much earlier. Variant forms of the noun include newby and newbie, while the related term noob (often stylized as "n00b") is often used in online gaming.
I'm studying renewable energy engineering. I'm in an early stage getting familiar with plumbing so far.
I hope, I can broaden my knowledge and help others.

Morning all.
We moved house a few months back (Notts UK), the CH and DHW and for that matter the oil boiler were a bit of a mystery to someone who has only ever tickled gas combi boilers along previously.
The oil boiler has a few issues, and that's why I'm here.
See you in the oil boiler forum...

Hi Everyone,
I have just joined the forum (at long last) after having dipped in and out a few times in the past. It's good to be here.
I am a homeowner and DIY-er and have very little knowledge of plumbing in fact, it scares me to death!!!
I'm hoping to get a wee bit of professional advice...
I have a bathroom sink with an old Bristan depressable plug, see picture.
The depresser thingey has broken and I have removed the plug.
Is it easy to replace these things with other plugs that slot into the waste pipe? I dont want to have to remove the waste pipe, just put in a new plug.

The Waste is slightly higher than the trap, I've been advised to use the flexi fitting but it leaks and doesn't look strong enough especially as water remains in the pipe. I would call a plumber, but I know its a simple solution.. for someone! I'm a total newbie so advice would be great!

Hi all..
Only found this forum today and having spent some time reading past threads, it's a shame I haven't seen it sooner, would have saved myself a fair few Bob in the past!
We've not yet ruled out getting a plumber in but this seems a small job, suitable for diy'er?
We have 1930's house and quite old plumbing, hopefully not that old. The pics should help show the task in hand. It's pipework under the sink, hot and cold feeding up to the basin with spurs off for...
Hello
Quick intro....I’ve joined here because I’m planning a career change.... you guessed it, into plumbing. Im mid 30s and from a construction related background. Currently working in project management but sick of the corporate BS side of things. Wanted to trade train as a plumber when I...
Hi All,
I have joined the forum as I’m currently training to become a gas engineer. But I think the training will be postponed due to the coronavirus.

Hi all hope everyone is good.
I'm a 27 year old looking to get into the plumbing industry. I done my level 2 when I left school 10 years ago, got some experience with a plumber whilst doing in but because of funding for the college the level 3 gas was scrapped 😖
From then I've done factory work...
Hi Everyone,
I'm an ex-carpenter builder but now retired. A Carpenter/Joiner really needs to have a good working knowledge of all the other trades so that he can make life easier for those trades that follow after him on a site. The Builder part is different, that's just making use of what...
Hi All- just undertaken some DIY house improvements, some involving the bathroom, so have been dipping in for some tips here and there. Great so far- thanks to all for your great help and advice!
Don't laugh (too much)
I had some good advice here and looked at quite a few threads.. So well armed to replace a Type 11 Radiator on a 10mm microbore drop down system and... not being able to free up the drain screw in the original valve earlier in a test, a good idea change the drain tap...
