Sounds like a partial blockage in the drain. Symphonic wc do fill up the pan but then drain out more rapidly than you describe. As I recall the waste outlet pipe is a smaller diameter on a syphonic so I don't think you have one of those.

In the end I hired a Paslode IM350+ from HSS for the weekend. They gave me a brand new machine! Amazing bit of kit. I was shooting 51mm galvanised ring shank nails with notched heads. Never missed a beat. Made it way easier as I could push the gun through the neighbours prickly plants.

How about this stuff.. https://www.tilingsuppliesdirect.co.uk/product/no-more-ply-tongue-groove-board-18mm-22mm#.YF50wMinw1I "No More Ply Tongue & Groove Board is a thicker version of the standard No More Ply Tile Backer Board. It is a fibre cement board with a tongue and groove connection that is designed to directly replace floorboards on joists." Does it conduct better than plywood?

I sometimes think that companies like Hardi (makers of Hardi tile backer board) are missing a trick. Isn't there a market for a cement board that.. * Is strong enough to be used over joists (or battens) * Rigid enough (over joists) to take tiles. * Conducts heat well enough for UFH. * Water resistant for wet rooms. Or is it just not possible to make one?

I have 80mm PIR in some rooms and if building again I would fit more. I assume your screed is 150mm thick in the workshop because you will be driving a car on it? Need not be that thick elsewhere.

I doubt most units would be strong enough on their own but if reinforced no problem. Under load the top tends to pull away from the wall and the bottom is pushed back towards the wall. I think we have 2*4 fixed to the brick wall and 10mm threaded rod from that to holes at the top of the frame. Nuts either side allowed it to be adjusted so its vertical. Timbers were added immediately left and right of the metal frame so Hardi backerboard could be screwed to form boxing. Later tiled before fitting the WC. Think the Geberit frames are 50cm wide so can be fitted in a 60cm wide base unit. Would have to be units without a setback toe board.

Meanwhile write anyway. Mention your expired PP and that you intend to renew it. It's up to them how much consideration they give it if any.

Actually it looks like I'm wrong. Leaving the country might not be enough.. 20+ years ago you could leave for a year or two. Then some chancellor made it 5 years. However it looks like for property they changed it in 2015 and again in 2019.. https://www.hillierhopkins.co.uk/here-for-you/internationally-mobile-individuals/everything-you-need-to-know-about-non-resident-capital-gains-tax-on-uk-properties

If you already have a property empire consider moving to a country like Belgium that doesn't have CGT. You have to be resident there for 5 years and its unwise to retain a home in the UK for the duration.

Who exactly is building the house? You or a company you own? If the CIL has been implemented in your area what have you done about that? My understanding is... If you are building it to live in yourself then you might avoid CGT because when you eventually sell it will be your Principle Private Residence. There might be CGT to pay on your current house but only on the gain since you move out (?) and there is scope to avoid that if sold within 2 (?) Years. If you are building it to sell and make a profit the you might be taxed as a developer and have to pay income tax on the profit. If you build and then hold it as an investment/holiday let/Air BnB you might avoid income tax on the sale profit but pay CGT when sold. If you build it and let it on a long lease you can avoid income tax but loose the ability to reclaim VAT or may have to repay any VAT claimed. HMRC sometimes look at your intentions at the outset so it might not be possible to change your mind later. What have you already told any lender you plan to do?

Except it isn't and never was a party wall. The wall is entirely on his land. Yet the neighbour appears to have put his roof joists on top of it,

And most people install a quad LNB so you want 4 cable runs. Typically 2 to each Freesat box. Thats because some channels are vertically polarised and others horizontally. Having 2 allows you to watch one and record another of different polarity.

Remembering that nothing must overhang including the eaves/gutters.

The problem is the executors are obliged to look after the interests of the beneficiaries. If the executors are family members they might co-operate with you and agree to share a Party Wall Surveyor. If the executors are a solicitor or some other professional they might feel the need to insist you pay for a second independent surveyor to represent the beneficiaries.

I put up both terrestrial TV aerial and Free Sat dish. Neither are particularly difficult. Sat dishes are possibly a bit harder to install because they need to be pointed a bit more accurately but you can do it with a cheap signal strength meter. The wind loading is higher with a dish so they need to be mounted a bit more securely. I guess the main advantage of a dish is they don't always need to be installed high up.

I can't comment on any particular product but the vast majority of devices on the market are total woo. Normally they make a lot of claims in terms that sound scientific but are just plain nonsense. Pretty much the only proven technology is salt based chemical water softening or similar. This is what wikipedia has to say about magnet based devices.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_water_treatment#:~:text=Magnetic water treatment (also known,regarded as unproven and unscientific. This is what the Advertising Standards Authority has to say.. https://www.asa.org.uk/advice-online/water-treatment-devices.html

Will spin or try to spin faster on the higher voltage. Mostly will work fine but just take care when under high load as there is greater risk of burning out the motor.

Some decades ago my dad managed to solder some lead sheet himself but I remember it being a difficult job. At least I learnt new swear words.

Just to add to what I was saying about BCO having some discretion... ours allowed us to put our oil tank between a timber clad garage and the boundary fence. Both less than a foot away. Mostly because the neighbour had done the same on his side. Definitly not according to the regs as our boiler service engineer points out every other year.

The specification page is what they call "content free". No information on gain etc. Thats never a good sign. Amplifiers are also a poor alternateive to aving the correct aerial. Something like a small log periodic might be worth considering. Cheap from Toolstation or Screwfix. Some rate the Optima L 20 F Element for areas with good signal. Just bear in mind that some locations and transmitter combinations have specific issues that make correct aerial choice more important. Any trees in the way

Welcome to the forum. The example they use here is of a garage but same rules apply to your outbuilding.. https://www.planningportal.co.uk/info/200130/common_projects/43/outbuildings/2 So how big is yours? Cladding the side facing the boundary in fire retardant board might be acceptable to the BCO but you will need to discuss with him exactly what he requires. Try and keep on his good side because they have some discretion to bend the rules. Sadly he may or may not be willing to discuss it with you until you pay a fee.

You could fit a geberit wall mounted WC/Frame and adjust the feet so its a bit on the high side. The outlet pipe from those has a 90 degree bend which can be turned "horizontally". There is a table of outlet height vs seat height in some of the installation manuals (this one from the USA).. https://www.geberitnorthamerica.com/local-media/instructions/968-075-00-0-sigma2x4-install.pdf

Could you replace the bend with solvent weld parts? eg just leaving one clip where it enters the unit? Edit: The rubber joints might be for noise reduction.

Many garages are single skin brick but they have piers every ?? meters. In the past curved or zigzag walls have been used to aid stability and these can create sheltered areas for exotic plants or humans...but obviously increase the number of bricks needed.

Old water pipe?
