lift the floorboard sheets up on the scaffolding the day before otherwise you will start the job knackered. 60m2 of floor = about 1.2 tons of 22m Caberdek. Once the first section of floor is laid, lift the next 10 boards up to floor height and rest them on two saw or hop-up stools because it is better to lift each board to be laid from a height of 2 feet. One great tip from my carpenter was to stick some ducktape around the tapered neck of the glue bottle to catch glue dribbles running down the outside of the bottle. Posi joists were relatively easy to lever up onto the scaffolding with two people, one lifts from the ground while the other pulls from staging until 50% of the joist weight is beyond the pivot point of the scaffolding handrail. The 5" wide, 5.6m long joists were tougher. Finally, and the most subtle tip I learned, is how the align the first row of boards. These must be perfectly straight or even have a slight concave shape in the direction of lay because if there is any hint of a convex curve this be cause ever larger gaps as that convex curve grows as it radiates out with each additional row of boards.

UV will be minimum-but might need some other treatment I know of one aboout 15 miles away near gatehouse that was showing small arsenic content -but a filter of some sort may it ok that will be next on list once i am happy with source and flow

Thanks but doesn’t really help much ? Any chance of one with the gate open so we can try and identify the boundary line?

Indeed, it wasn’t my name on the PP.

The only attenuator we have is on the supply side as shown in the first picture. There is a very small amount of fan noise on the extract side if you are near an extract vent. I didn't think it was worth fitting an attenuator on the extract side but if I was doing it again I probably would fit one. We haven't experienced any cross talk from room to room.

4 months is still probably tight, depending if you have a plot in mind.

I have a router and a single NAS drive on all the time. My Pi runs headless. It wasn't just the power, I would be concerned a traditional desktop OS was up to running 24/7 without crashing? Even my headless Pi is prone to crashing from time to time so it is now on a timer to turn it off for 15 minutes each morning and give it a clean boot each day. I do find my Zorin pc crashes less often (but not never) than a windows pc, so as the mac is based on linux it will hopefully be more reliable.

I've seen more in the market this week - think it is starting to move now. All the merchants are open again so it should soon unblock

I believe that they work without they key. Our Ubiquiti PoE switch broke after less than 2 years and I replaced it with a much cheaper and smaller Netgear switch. The Key cannot see the switch, but there is very little benefit to being able to manage the switch via the app, everything such as guest access works just fine still. Apparently the built in power supply in the Unifi switches is a known point of failure, the Netgear has a separate PSU.

The Unifi app (iOS in my case) was fine for managing 3 APs without a key, which we did for a year or so. A key does make management easier and enables some additional functionality like guest access, so we do have one hooked up now.

Look at old maps/photos. Find out if the highway drainage is a "Piped Ditch". Its possible that years ago there was an open ditch that your land drained into. This was is common in the countryside. When the road was made up or widened they frequently put pipes in the ditch and tarmac over the top. Soakaways don't work on our plot so we proposed a rainwater recycling tank with overflow into the piped ditch under they highway verge. That was accepted even though its only used for garden watering and it's just a big collecting tank not a storm surge attenuation tank. I believe you can now get rainwater recycling tanks that provide some storm surge attenuation as well so they don't immediately overflow if it rains when they are full. If percolation test shows soakaways would need to be very big.. it might be possible to build what you can on site and then use the gravel surrounding your foul sewer as a kind of long thin extra soakaway that just happens to run off site and down the road. You would need to chuck in an extra perforated pipe after they have inspected your sewer connection and gone away as I don't think it's allowed.

For pure storage, maybe, but the 1019+ has more RAM and beefier CPU so probably better if doing a lot of CCTV or media transcoding or VMs (or combinations thereof) https://nascompares.com/2019/02/15/synology-ds1019-vs-ds918-nas-which-should-you-buy/ has a table half way down that compares a lot of the range:

Thanks for the responses, will certainly help in my preparations.

Example of mine. I got 100% of my claim paid.

Just finished my drains, I have put in 60 l/m of 110mm pipe, 2 x 460 i/c and used 5 c/m of pipe bedding. I was expecting to have quite a bit of spoil to get rid of and it has all gone back in including quite a lot of large stones etc from the house build. Made my day and as a self builder you need days like this, eh Ian? @AnonymousBosch

Depending on the ground, you may find that there is a vegetation line that quite predominant. Have a look on Google Earth, may have to look at some of the older images to get the season right. You are in an ideal position for a wind turbine, and you have enough room to put up a 2 MW one in your paddock, a few hundred tonnes of concrete would cure the boggy ground as well.

Milk is a major pollutant to aquatic life.

Milk. It was the water dye of choice for years.

Yeah I’m racist against windows based anything . So equally I’ve heard blue iris is really good ; but windows ...... ????

This stuff is fine - non toxic https://www.bes.co.uk/drain-tracing-dye-200g-yellow-3591

and then... but... ? have fun down the rabbit hole.
