Good point here here about the meter and the fuse being moved by different bodies .

Get a sparky lined up to put a temporary CU in ( a 'garage' CU with 2 x 20a MCBs and a 40a RCD up front will suffice ). Get that made off to 2 x metal clad 13a double sockets for site power, all contained in the meter box.

Oh and yes, the soil runs should have support at predetermined intervals, so has you BCO inspected and passed these yet?

In pic 5 you'd have thought the outer open end of those runs would have started off with a beam. Have they worked to a B&B design from an SE ? Good to hear they admitted the pads were a load of bollocks. Drilling them will take minutes. Why exactly are they talking so much BS?

Best to remember the distribution amp will do little or nowt to the incoming signals quality or strength. All it will really do is amplify and compensate for the signal being 'consumed' by multiple sets at the same time. You need to start off with a clear, strong signal from the mast before dividing it. As a friend told me when working in the PA business, if you amplify a whisper it doesn't turn into a shout, you just get the whisper coming out louder. .

The price was right .

Cat pee is quite potent.

Are the guide and stock of the bending machine clean ? That causes all sorts of problems if not.

Yup. Connection to a stack and backflow of stench is the same regardless of pipe size.

The 110mm trap body pushes into the soil pipe fitting which is as good as it gets.

If you look at that linked trap, it's ( I think ) the same as the Impey vertical wastes that go straight into a 110mm pipe. I'll post a pic in a mo.

Your going to get your chain yanked a bit if you post up pics of the house of the year I thought you were joking until I read it twice, but you are, of course, having a front door that's scaled to the house Not far to go now ?

Looking very nice, and super neat stonemasonry . I take it the pillars are to be wrapped in the same stone ?

Chemical pot feeder chemical dosing pot still no result Phone call to follow tomorrow am as it's pissing me off now

Hmmm. Thought a few schematics off those sites may have shown the item with a part number. All seem to be fed by open 'funnels'. ''Tis hard work, this little bugger. ?

The worst he can do is tell you to FO Worth asking afaic. .

I'd be happy around £30 Pm2 all day long. Ask him to reconsider. ?

I'll have a bloody good look at it for you none the less.

Separates the boys from the men IMO. A LOT of plastic heros out there since pushfit was born.

Not for this chap. Also, not where you have multiple joints per run as it starts to get expensive quick. Plus, if you own a blowlamp and a bending machine then crack on and use copper. It's still my weapon of choice for plant rooms, even when the ongoing / terminal pipe runs are Hepworth. Hot and colds all radial in Hep, with no joints.

I use an old jacksaw as a heat shield. Or two of them, in conjunction with the mat. Something with a large surface area, and stop it from getting into contact with the wood. Other than that I just scorch the wood and rub it with a bit of sandpaper afterwards as I'm more concerned about soldering the joint than I am about scorching wood . Have a lucodade bottle / hand spray bottle to hand to keep squirting water at things. Not leaving a smouldering fire is always preferential

£45 PM is a lot unless the concrete isn't flat. If it's filling, levelling and laying then it would command a higher price as it's pretty much twice the work. A lot more mixing and laying of product, so what's been quoted for exactly ? Who has said it's nice and flat eg 'just lay straight on it' ? I've met a few of those, some where I've just walked away as the money wasn't there to do what was necessary.

You can't bend and form pushfit neatly and it's bulky, not the prettiest stuff, to have on show. And yes, it's an attic, but it's Clive's attic Same philosophy as me I'm afraid, as whatever isn't on show should be to the same standard as what's on show. It's still got to perform, and be reliable.
