Damnit. Sherlock spotted that and I didn't. Bugger. He's right of course. Still available at the same price though even at solid. Get you some of that !

Looking pretty damn fine sir. ??

Leave it an hour and wipe off. Stays wet on non pourous surfaces for hours.

Where would the fun be if I told you sooner ? ?

As usual with Maplin....hideously expensive. https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/CAT5E-OR-CAT6-305M-INDOOR-OUTDOOR-Gigabit-Networking-Ethernet-Cable-EXTRA-THICK/263417886388?hash=item3d54edf6b4:m:me9LaNBPxDwkq4X86e886gQ

Yup. Mist costing with the sprayer for walls and final coats for ceilings is ultra quick but the overspray will get anywhere and everywhere without careful masking. Thanks to one company I had the worlds first magnolia Bosch jigsaw.

I think geberit make a specific block drop flush plate. .

Utter filth. The guys who nicked your lead that is. Now go and wash your mouth with soap whilst I go and buy a bag of f*ck stars to edit that with tomorrow. F*ck me ? ?

Have the filters been cleaned ( ever ) ? Has the pump ever been run until the water in the header tank ran out ? That lifts up some real grot and it stays in the filter/s.

I'm not in touch with the current costs of those two battery storage systems. I'm guessing it's 5 figures? My approach would be to store electricity as heat energy, but before this chat even begins, we must know your TER and for it to come to fruition. For eg, some TF suppliers will give you a weathertight shell, airtight, and guarantee that it will have no more than 0.6 ACH which is almost as well sealed as a submarine compared to what some hairy arsed builder will knock up, with a fag swinging from his bottom lip, whilst he tells you that "the gaps between the insulation are for air flow". Are you aiming for airtight? A big jump from 'draughtproofing' btw

Battery storage ? Spill the beans !

Hi and welcome. With that much PV have you considered an all elecric / PV storage solution ? Im currently specifying three which are ditching the ASHP, but they are passive standard builds which have / will have proven aircrightness and low energy requirements for space heating. Note : Space heating and domestic hot water ( DHW ) need addressing separately, so don't overlook that. When you add up what you can save ditching the ASHP ( and its purchase and installation cost - service - maintenance - ongoing glycol replacement cycles - unit lifetime / longevity ) and then look at the cost of buying, maintaining and running a PV / E10 based system it's not miles apart, but it is far, far less complex and maintenance intensive and some find that quite an attractive option. With an ASHP you'll need an unvented hot water cylinder ( UVC ) for DHW so also factor in the cost of your annual G3 service / inspection. You can easily say goodbye to £1200-£1500 over 10 years. Not maintaining that could affect your buildings and contents insurance too, so check with your insurers in the small ( tiny ) print. . Use the the search engine on here as there is ?loads of top notch, impartial, factual, free information contained within these 4 walls. .

That's a whopper of a boiler. Are you building to standard BR's or are you airtight with MVHR? Dont forget to fit blending valves onto the pumps serving the radiators so you can define the temps arriving there. Nowt worse than red hot radiators. . Slightly oversize the rads and run them cooler for a nice contolable heat delivery. Also, what is the means for dumping excess heat ( boiler failsafe ) ? Dedicated heat loss rad / other ?

More info please ! PiV / Trickle vents / MVHR ?

Wouldn't expect anything less ?

If you plate it then yes. ?

In a nutshell yup. That way the junk that used to be in your trunk never stalls. I thought the Y would be better up on the top horizontal but whichever suits the location of bog #3 really.

From the bottom up it's going to be : bend to vertical. bend to horizontal Y branch laying flat.

Swept bend if you've got the height. If not a regular 90. Get some joist top foam strip and make a suspension mount for the soil bend to stop noise transmitting through the ceiling joist.

''Tis the dogs hairy, hairy, bollocks.

Watch the vid ?

A soil pipe up the outside wall would make it look 70 years old 200 years ago they just stuck their arse out the window didn't they ? "Bombs awayyyyy!"

One thing to add to this, is that the 780 is double compound, so flips right or left so full lengths of skirting dont have to be taken out and turned around to perform "opposite cut next" compound cuts. It also does something extremely handy, which is go up to 60 degrees one way and 50 degrees the other, so when cutting upright you can make a 92/93/94 etc degree corner where walls are out and are less than 90 degree. The compound goes a couple over 45 degrees so is uber useful that way too. Something ive not seen on any other saw ive used so far. And the shadow line is just amazing. It shows the material that is going to be removed by the blade so no guesswork or re-cuts to fine tune.
