    If you don't want front draining then how about to one side?
  2. Nickfromwales
    You wouldn't want the excess rain water constantly flowing into your plant, so it'll be YOU that's in trouble if you do .
  3. Nickfromwales
    Bingo. Much easier ( and the leaf litter is far more likely to go down that unassisted ).

    Can't you use 40/42mm? That'd be way better.
  5. Nickfromwales
    Ok, but 32mm is WAY small ??. Anyhoo, all you do is use a piece of said pipe to make a funnel out of the grp. Let it part set then remove it. Once the grp has set fully, push the pvc pipe on with Sikaflex EBT as the glue and your home and dry. ?

    For rain water? Eg exposed to the elements?
  7. Nickfromwales
    Ok. Opening going down into a PVC down pipe or other? Dont be shy
  8. Nickfromwales
    What situation is it to be used in? Penetration through a grp roof?

    Deffo. Tbh, you just undersize by 1.5-2mm and the self cutting tip is the right size for the final pilot . Used these to put steel tubular stairs and handcrails in an ind unit. Worked a dream. It won't hurt to put a bead of summat but if you can fix both sides it'll go nowhere. Do you need SE spec for the thickness of the fixings for BC approval?

    Pilot drill and then fire these straight in, being careful not to catch the web.

    Ok, you get a one week leisure pass. .

    The bathrooms look clean and sharp Still unsure about burying the cistern behind the tiles but I think we discussed this and you had a preference for the small flush buttons. Will you remove the chair after you've finished standing on it to paint the ceiling ?
  13. Nickfromwales
    Can the wacker plate be adapted for grouting ?
  14. Nickfromwales
    That means you get out of doing the dishes, but not mowing the lawn.
  15. Nickfromwales
    Thread tidied ?

    The problem isn't with the unit ( until the motor dies of old age or the capacitor or float switch follow suit ) it's people putting things down the loo that they shouldn't. If you just drop the bomb + loo roll it'll never miss a beat, until aforementioned normal wear n tear intervenes.

    Potty it is then..........or maybe, just MAYBE you can talk the wife into a luxury, self contained Maisón d'eriere ? Options for Bluetooth and wifi ( if she takes her phone with her ).
  18. Nickfromwales
    Or no WC down there . Is it to create a self contained flat / bedsit?

    Once you've decided to fit one, the discharge pipework is no worry at all. These will pump high and far, even through 22mm copper or 21.5mm overflow, naturally I'd recommend soldered copper for the incline, then convert to at least 1 1/4" pvc solvent weld or 50mm if possible ( to provide an air beak to mitigate siphon issues ) for the run that falls again ( with rodding caps at every practical / accessible change of direction ). The best method is to rise continuously in 22mm copper and terminate into the soil stack so you have no discharge sized pipework with a fall. Is that possible?

    Ok, so sanding a damaged floor will likely be a professional machine job, but still do-able without needing to remove and replace vs veneered engineered boards.
  21. Nickfromwales
    Worth knowing that it doesn't beak down when sanded Just wondered, with the mention of it being stranded.
  22. Nickfromwales
    For all your 'to-hand' bits n bobs. They're usually magnetic so nowt shakes / falls off, but I'd be wary of anything up top tbh as you don't want a tool shower when precision drilling .
  23. Nickfromwales
    We've discussed the oak being a product that can be refinished, ( sanded and recoated as required ), but no mention yet of this being possible with the bamboo. One assumes that if going with a bonded solid material, such as bamboo, then if the worst happened you could hire a sander, sand it all back flat, and recoat it? You couldn't say the same of a thin veneered product as by the time you sanded enough to remove the 'cup' you'll be best way through the veneer?

    Every day without my shed is another day where I can't sit alone with my accumulated largely worthless but important-to-me crap that I'm storing in a rental unit. Only real valuable stuff are our RC cars, and I'm wondering if a year or more for the fully balance charged Lipos may have been too long. Hopefully they've survived.........but knowing my luck . I need my shed at home. ?
  25. Nickfromwales
    Yup, wood just isn't ever that straight. Plus you should have kept it vertical, and rotated it lengthways by 180o so as to correct the squiff back to the third checkpoint. If marking a long wall with a spirit level you always do the same. Never keep using the SL in the same direction as any inaccuracy in the SL will just keep you heading up / down hill so you keep flipping the level round for each length you mark, therefore correcting it as you go.
