For those interested apparently tonight's episode on grand designs has a Sunamp system in the project

How can starting soon ever actually result in starting? "Tomorrow and tomorrow creeps in this petty pace" In writing these few, now famous, words it is well known that the bard was having a bathroom installed - one of the first in England, as it was known at the time, by an infamous mate with whom he was having an Onoff relationship because the pace was lente and the confabulartio between them, in the form of sonnets sent by post horses, helpful, exciting, inspiring and supportive just grew and grew.... but, inter alia, no bathroom was forthcoming. Mox, Mox.

you might as well stick a little lime in it, 2 bags will probably do the whole lot. or you could use this......... which looks more impressive

Channel 4. 9pm.

I'd buy a 1x 150 and 2x 100. I've just done one at 120m and it's not a one man job. . 300m even I wouldn't attempt without the decoiler.

You could always make one: https://martin-jones.com/2013/07/31/avometer-8-blr121-15v-battery-replacement/amp/&ved=0ahUKEwjt1pb854vXAhUEBBoKHXqzBuAQFghKMAE&usg=AOvVaw34FE_3xShduiPBJRRpcOcx&ampcf=1

I've fitted a doppler radar detector part way up our drive to trigger the CCTV to record. Cheap and easy, but needs power. Needless to say mine's home made, but it's based on a cheap microwave motion sensor module that switches power to a 433 MHz wireless transmitter, that has a pretty long range (I tested it and it works out to around 100m +). There are almost certainly commercial units that use the same sort of technology. The microwave doppler units are immune from false triggering from day time warm air gusts (something that plagued the PIR sensor I initially tried to use) and some have an adjustable sensitivity, so you can set the size of object, and range, that will cause them to trigger.

A quick update on this. I needn't have worried - Wooden Stairs delivered and fitted the stairs on time and budget. We're very pleased with the result!

When we applied we pushed the footprint from 92m2 (existing bungalow, excluding various outhouses) to 178m2 (which includes a detached garage). We felt we had taken care of any concerns with the increased size so just went for it - my architect did caution that there may be an issue in this approach, however Planning accepted it without any comment. From our Design and Access statement: I think that statement sums up the possible objections pretty well. I do not recall our council publishing any firm foorprint limits.
