That would just ruin my fun of correcting people , it’s one of the things I remember from college that I thought might be useful in the future. Along with brainstorms offend epileptic people so they are now called “mind maps”.......

Inspection chamber! Man hole is a very sexist term supposedly

The things to consider are the price of the tool ( usually a lot of money although I have never seen the one in the video before) how often do they jam and how hard are they to “unjam” how tight do they get the fixing realistically how many ties are you going to have to put in. We have always used the pull twisty things everyone else has linked (locally called potato sack tiers) it all depends on available money and how much you want to use the fancy tool. If I could afford it I would get the best tool I could get and potentially sell its afterwards ( realistically it would just end up on a shelf.)

Scaffold lifts are purposely measured so that if you wear a hard hat you hit every pole. ( probably not true but it seems to be the way) if you like the bump cap you wear it. Between you me and everyone else here I just wear a baseball cap and have done for the last decade or so. It stops the clips from tearing into your skin and generally keeps most of the crap out of my hair. As for hitting the poles I would advise not walking into them.

I was half joking when I said it. It’s slower than standard dwangs/noggins but it would make running cables easier. It’s more of a “traditional” way of doing things. One of those things I learnt in college but have only used once on a heritage renovation.

Herringbone strut them. Keeps everything nice and open.

I mean who in their right mind would attempt to build an electric wacker from scratch. Also what kind of people have you got around you to even suggest you should do it

Also TBF there are probably a good 10 a 15 paged of just abuse

Probably best we don’t. They would add another page or 2 just typing them out

You really should. It may not seem like he has achieved much but what he has completed has been meticulously planned, drawn out, marked, counter marked, modelled and built to an incredibly high standard. I know because Iv been here the whole time. The whole really really long time,

As long as you have the money to back the first project. There is nothing stopping you. But In real terms you will just be becoming a “developer”, I would do it myself if I could fulfill my first sentence ?

get the foam gun out

I should think most of the bigger builds would use some kind of powder-coated metal to save on maintenance for their brise soleil, as for the cladding there is always the cement board alternatives e.g Hardi plank / Cedral. personally, I prefer the Cedral https://www.marleyeternit.co.uk/Facades/Cedral/Cedral-Lap.aspx https://www.marleyeternit.co.uk/Facades/Cedral/Cedral-Click.aspx

150mm http://www.cemex.co.uk/floor-installation-guide.aspx i did hear recently something about a max of 225 in case someone falls through but that could just be heresay. Edit: actually reading the link says you might get away with 75mm depending on soil type and location but I was always told 150

4? surely if they are mobile you only need 1, 2 max

I think you are all being very mean. But just so you all know this thread isn’t the beginning, it started on ebuild before this forum even opened http://www.ebuild.co.uk/topic/19013-hot-cold-feeds-to-bathroom/page__fromsearch__1

also might be an idea to keep a full 3 phase plug available somewhere as I'm sure it will be helpful for charging cars in the not so distant future

I like that they changed the Blue, that nearly got me in trouble when I was wiring up the workshop, one box had both new, old and "farmer" wiring in it (3 browns and a blue) It all got very confusing

Well that Was a fun job. 500 of the little buggers every 400mm. (At least there will be when I get the utility done as well. But I’m tired and need a shower now) And just in case you wondered how I was going to hold it in the little chairs where it is trying to lift in some places I’m useing these. Technically they are for holding Teram down but they seem to be working well for this.

unless you can see anything shiny you havent gone through the outer plastic layer yet so hopefully you should be fine, but you should be careful when walking about on it, id be more worried about the mesh denting the pipe, cable ties are cheap though, how are you planning to keep them all in place without them?

I was just going to SBR the crap out of it. But that might not be a bad idea. Iv got some mesh left over I can cut up for the job.

I’m shuttering off a 6’ square around it so I can screed the falls in after. I’ll cover the pipes with the concrete but try to leave at least 2” for the screed.

5-6” of concrete

I still haven’t poured the floor now. Hopefully the rest of the spacers will be in today or tomorrow. So with any luck I might get it done this weekend if I’m feeling very energetic.
