First time I've even heard of compo being pre-mixed and sent to site! How much easier ( and consistent ) is that Let your fingers do the walking.

Could be a knackered / failed impeller or just a blocked filter. Strip, check, report. If its worked before reliably then a vent shouldn't be necessary.

Cool. Less time on the pineapple chunk launcher = more valuable boarding time. Disaster averted. . -
cat 5 cable, which one
Nickfromwales replied to Simplysimon's topic in Networks, AV, Security & Automation
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 !- 15 replies

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 ? ?

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.

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.

Self Build Timberframe in Nottinghamshire
Nickfromwales replied to surcalation's topic in Introduce Yourself
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 -

Self Build Timberframe in Nottinghamshire
Nickfromwales replied to surcalation's topic in Introduce Yourself
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 ?

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. -
