  1. It won't pay for a telly in the bathroom if it's been spent on EWI. . Life first, insulation second.
  2. @JSHarris I assume the pipe insulation that is used to retain heat also doubles up to reduce any condensation on the pipework carrying 12oC water ? Is that an issue? My knee jerk would be to insulate everything even if just precautionary.
  3. Freesat and a military dish it is then
  4. An awesome thread you beautiful man Damn you and your free tool collection, the stuff of wet dreams. Please add as much detail as time allows as this will be of utmost value! I used Kwikstep for the boys room, a total cop-out, but even that required a new brain and a second opinion Buildhub gold in the making, thanks for this.
  5. This kind of thing is available link but uni-strut and a couple of cheaper compressor feet should suffice / exceed the required isolation by a good bit. Or these onto uni-strut would be my method.
  6. If you can reverse cowgirl a 110mm pipe with that kind of accuracy you should be in a different job
  7. If no 'kit' ordered, just uni-strut and 4 anti-vibration mounts ( like for a compressor ) ?
  8. On some seemingly 'flat' runs the worst I've ever had was simply to 'demo-flush' the run with some loo roll and demonstrate it working.
  9. Summat like this. Just for additional stability. Either back to the OEM bracket or even back to the building structure. No wind would shift it if I fitted it .
  10. Would have to be a dowel wouldn't it. Compression not tension. ?
  11. Let's draw a line under this . Its a rental. £300 every 3-5 years upgrading a tv is deductible under depreciation. Just buy a half decent smart with USB, wifi, hard wire it to the BB router, have freesat, mount a dish ( try doing that with bigger bolts ) and move on. Netflix and Digital radio and freesat = problem solved. Put the TV you have in for the immediate and get some revenue if that's the issue, but the suns about to shine so........... Get it rented out ! Chop chop. @Onoff any reason that threaded bar can't be used to stabilise the dish if it's that battered by wind ?
  12. @PeterW Itll be running mono-temp, eg never doing hot water. Can it simply be told to fire up at a set temp ?
  13. No one said it was going to be easy . Nurture damnit! Nurture !
  14. What's the invert from the affected WCs to the next horizontal run in the downstream soil pipe? Eg how far before the plop must drop, and how far does it drop? 1200mm or less invert and you shouldn't even need an AAV. If you have a horizontal run before dropping a full floor height then that will create a sufficient air break to ensure the flush is unaffected. Water not going down quickly sounds more to do with the local connection eg pan connector and the immediate pipework thatvit discharges into rather than air admittance. Air admittance or lack of is usually spotted by the water being almost completely sucked out of the throat of the pan after flushing, even to the point it gurgles to get the air break from the pan.
  15. It sounds equally as funny in print. PMSL.
  16. Being on site as much as possible is critical, otherwise its all on faith, a faith and trust which needs to be earned. Don't be afraid to state at the outset that you'll be on them like velcro, and tell them loud and clear that you'll only accept the very best of quality and finish. If their top lip starts to quiver at that point, its bye bye. Clearly and firmly set out your expectations at the very outset, before a spanners been turned or a single nails been knocked in.
  17. "All I want to do is do it, big up, big up!" Kevin & Perry soundtrack soon to be back on the iPhone to blast through the speakers. 18 til I die. And of course....
  18. If it has wifi and guests can zap their own content onto it from their portable device then forget about apps and jazz. Digital radio and wifi #1 priority. Put a DAB radio alarm clock in the bedroom too.
  19. I think they're called a Blog
  20. Another attempted piss-taker, clearly. Should have dug down and lived in peace. Tit.
  21. Cool. Remove the cap, ram the bin liners up the pipe nice and snug and then replace the cap.
  22. Need those for my boys room. If the bins more than arms reach away thats where the rubbish lands.
  23. Take the lid off the manhole whilst your doing it and plug the outlet to the sewer with a couple of bin liners folded into a ball / plug . Leave that off to ensure any stench stays outside. Dont do this if anyone's needing to send U571 to a watery grave .
