? Throw them out, maybe?

✌️️ I sold mine on eBay a couple of years back for no reason whatsoever other than I had just bought the 2014 twin pack ( with the less than impressive 2-speed ) and wanted to put the money back in the pot rather than own 2 combi drills. WHAT A BAD MOVE Ive been scouring the usual places for one ever since, and then my sparky chirps up that he doesn't want his anymore and did I want it for £20. SOLD! ? ( so basically, in answer to your question ) NO CHANCE ?

Shall I change the title of the thread to "how cheap a drill can I buy?"

Sweet.

I tried the auger bits with sds but bloody clutch kicks in. My old 3-speed makita 18v sends them through like a knife through butter. I have considers trying these but just worried about how much harm I can do to myself with it.

3 for a £1 for you matey. Bulk saver discount. BACK TO DOORS AND FLOORS NOW PLEASE !

Buy one of these and stick it in your sds drill which you already own

Well you missed my one Can't get the staff ( to type clearly ) @Ferdinand tgis should have read This Consider yourself enriched to the max.

I cut a recess into RC35 once for a wetroom former. Anyone who says that is easy wants shooting, it was two of us for a day for a 1400x900 former and sunken waste pipes. Not a pleasant task. This does sound like an installer error, but the 'blame game' would be very tricky to start playing at this late stage. Rather than the blame approach, I'd choose be proactive in arriving at a mutual and suitable resolve, so the job gets finished as well as it's been done to date. I'd only allow that door to be moved if I was there from start to finish eye-balling every single part of the process.

Got the first one to work now. ta.

I can't get that link to work. Just me?

What is the detail of the bottom of the door? E.g. Distance to seal? I've planed the underside of upvc doors before to lose ( gain ) 3-4mm. Mother alternative is resin or Amtico / Karndean for that area with smoothing compound used to pitch the floor upward to meet your intended covering.

JCC is reasonably well known and quite widely used. Its more about the lamp and driver these days TBH, so as they're retrospectively interchangeable I'd not worry too much at this point. look at the hours lamp life and lumens for comparison and see how they compare to others in the same price range. Mini sun have supplied my last few jobs, very happy so far, and Cob are the led unit of choice if I can get the type I want.

Having no bath would alienate anyone with small children so would narrow the marketability of the property imo. One big electric ( modulating ) instant would be the same as a small gas combi, e.g. unable to provide DHW to multiple outlets simultaneously,so running multiple hot outlets would not be a concern TBH as you couldn't do so with either fuel type . Anyone with a combi would already be tuned to this discipline i.e. don't do the dishes when someone's in the shower etc. A smaller instant + electric shower may be a good solution, as if one fails you still get some hot water. E.g. Shower over bath goes down, but you can still fill the bath ( albeit slowly ). Fwiw, I'd never rent a property with all electric unless the EPC was good and I could SEE previous annual running costs from actual bills. Estimating how 'well' the new system will work will be difficult. The mention of fan-assisted panel heaters shows where the trend may be heading, so do a bit of research on how they perform vs wet heating radiators ( howsoever heated ) before going any further.

No probs. Pm to follow.

That's cool, was in horror at the start, but when the fish and the waterfalls were on I was sold. Sell a child and get it. Only observation mate, check out the huge upstand / back to the cooker. That suggests this stuff is nigh-on completely intolerant to heat? Any specifics about that in the bumf? The shark swimming around was uber cool. That would be good in a bathroom, what size panels can they do?

The electric combis are called Storage boilers. Not great imo, but technology may have moved on Basically they're thermal stores and produce instant hot water via a neat exchanger. Great until they lose heat and deplete. Go for a heating only wet electrical boiler and then one big instant. Your electric supply will need to handle these of course. @JSHarris has good things to say about Steibel ( iirc ) so maybe he can add to this.

Electric central heating may not get a very warm reception from a tennant POV. To do constant HW you'll either need to store it in a big enough cylinder or go for big instants alongside the electric heating boiler. Cant you go all inclusive with the rent and have the gas feeding a communal system? Much easier and you can keep the combi. . Don't forget you'll need to fork out for a new separate supply if going all electric, individually ( self contained ) for both flats

Exercise bike + dynamo + wife?

Thermal mass ?!? Deflected heat in all of its guises Outward / sideways is the one given most consideration when siting two appliances alongside each other. Ultimately it's The manufacturers installation instructions ( MI's ) which overrule any guidelines, but when you have one appliance chucking heat out to the left and another back towards that appliance, you have to factor for 0% redundancy aka worst case ( both being used at the same time at full wallop ). Dimensions for rear 'clearance' should always be taken as per the MI's. Never assume fitting the hob centrally will suffice .

Cost ? Supplier? Any links please? ??

I've just done a modest Wren kitchen. £10,400 for materials and £5k installation costs ( everything except final coat of paint ). £20k? They're having a LAUGH

@readiescards has ventured down this path . He's going off grid. Maybe some leads / links paul ?
