I’m thinking about putting some flush fitted. floor up lights in my mezzanine floor. I was thinking dimmable LED’s of some type maybe? Was wondering if anyone has got any recommendations on the lights?

Thanks for the various suggestions, I'll check them out…

Not used them before, but there is a Yesss Electrical local to me, any feedback on them?

Do you use local suppliers for all your electrical components like consumer units, cable, sockets etc. or are there national/online suppliers you'd recommend checking out?

good to remember how things were…

Hopefully, there will be a few more updates coming more regularly now that permissions have been granted

Mine is to go into solid stone walls, so I expect it could be a bit more hit and miss installation wise! 🤪

Thanks, that‘s some nice looking guttering 😎

If anyone on Instagram and is interested in following the progress etc. https://www.instagram.com/smallmissionhall/

It really is, plus you get to learn a lot about yourself in the process too! Thanks for the encouragement 👍🏼

Thanks, slowly but surely things are getting there…

OK, thanks, I’ll add it to the list to have a look at then…

Being in a fairly exposed location on the Isle of Lewis, coastal exposure and rainfall are a way of life. So when it comes to guttering/downpipes, I understand that copper is the longest-lasting option and also beautiful, but it's out of my price point, unfortunately. I’ve thus started looking at Aluminium products from Marley Alutec (Aligator Boxer range?) and Rainguard (SL Half round?), or any alternatives you’d recommend? Does anyone have experience using either? Is there much to choose between them, or do they have experiences that people are happy to share? It’s a simple rectangular building with a smaller rectangular entrance porch at one end, no corners or returns etc. Two straight runs of 8430mm with a single downpipe at one end of each, plus two straight runs of 2450mm with a single downpipe at one end of each The 8430mm run is real slate on a solid stone wall construction, no soffit or fascia, just a 60mm slate overhang. The 2450mm run is artificial slate on a solid stone wall construction, no soffit or fascia, just a 30mm slate overhang

Baan a little while, but finally got both planning permission and building warrant approval! 😎 So this will be the year of proper progress, you know, like making the building a bit colder and a lot less habitable… 🤣 https://www.smallmissionhall.com/

Thanks, people, I’ve contacted a couple of builders' merchants and will also look at https://www.roofingsuperstore.co.uk/ to see how things stack up?
