  1. Can you not measure and log the leakage current and see what's going on as you bring the breakers in. If it trips immediately does that not suggest something starting up oddly rather than staying odd.
  2. We have a similar problem - the fibre runs the other side of the road and comes up a pole opposite us and into our neighbours opposite. Our side of the road, 8m, is not destined to be fibred until next year. Bonkers.
  3. Yes - you could demonstrate it in a biscuit tin if you wanted to!
  4. We used Helifix Inskew helical nails, you can drive them in with and SDS drill, they come in all sorts of length and they don't pull out! However the also do not pull in very well. So with our vertical battening we screwed the vertical (counter) battens on using long stainless screws at 600mm centres to get them tight against the insulation then Inskew'ed them as the Helifix spec (240mm IIRC.
  5. Yes as long as you block the UV I would have thought it would last well.
  6. Is that going to last well outside in the driving sun that is West Kent these days - or is it too shady to ever be a problem?
  7. Looks like they had a couple of tools on the front seats of the van.
  8. It looks like they drilled some small holes to let a bit of air through - still a bodge of the first water.
  9. Usually Called: Planer Thicknesser and I have one somewhere, not sure quite when I last used it / only once on the build so far but I am expecting it to get work during the fit out.
  10. Nice if you can afford to keep if full, which by the looks of it even Leibherr can't afford to put more than a few bits in it!
  11. not just imagination but perhaps, with a few exceptions, also: moral fibre / creativity / intellectual capacity / any interest in or empathy with the people they are supposed to be serving / leadership skills / negotiation skills / emotional intelligence / persuasion capabilities / sense of economic reality / ability to share and adhere to the truth - shall I go on?
  12. This has the makings of a good / timely discussion. My wife describes me as the master of access panels but not in the sense that they look any good but rather that they are everywhere! I have this drive to ensure I can get at everything that might need or facilitate servicing, upgrade, the back of the bath / shower valve top and bottom of risers and these all appear in the walls - and she hates them all. On the build I am doing all I can to get them into places where they don't show in the room EG into Wardrobes, behind vanity units, covered by removable panelling. So any other ideas will be gratefully accepted round here.
  13. Nope. Did the work have planning permission? Not sure how this would change things but I am not sure the council have any rights over what you can do in your front garden (as long as it is not illegal or immoral or fattening). You could offer to put up hoardings.
  14. Well done, you wonder why life has to get more complicated even though things are more complex using them should be simpler - very little is designed anymore just an extension of an extension with very little care for backwards compatibility (EG 5GHz).
  15. Switch your old wifi router on and look at the connection settings to see how it connects and if that works, should do as it used too, you might look at adding just the wifi point to the new network and see if you can get a connection. Also check that all the network protocols are active 802.11b etc.
  16. Is firestick failing to connect or failing to see internet once connected? It maybe that it does not offer the required level of security so cannot connect. In which case you can back off the security level for that devices MAC address to allow it in in your config if this is possible on your system, otherwise you may have to lower it for everybody and secure it all by MAC address or set up a VLAN for such devices.
  17. I think it should have a small plastic screw in the top hole (ours does) which allows you to bleed / shut it as required.
  18. Proper bootlace ferrules and cable numbers - respect!
  19. Great panel - then put some pilot holes in the bottom so they can be fixed down from underneath.
  20. Love the clip, useful all over the place. Would a couple of counterbored holes in the top bar add the ability to screw the clips down when needed.
  21. Charging the EV is a correct use case but as I think we have seen before when one of the batteries is flat it will look like an EV and you don't want it, the other battery, to charge it back up so it (they) sort of need to know I think.
  22. How do they, not you, know?
  23. What do you think of them - online docs feel a bit limited and I am struggling to find sound levels and the like. I have also been looking at Salda (Made in Lithuania) very keen pricing (at about 35% of Zender) but by comparison with Zender look to be noisier by 7 or so db. Also Zender look to be on very long, 7-8 months, lead times.
  24. Yes - Get the nulling concept but worry that it only works if the whole thing is synched up in analogue form once you have any DSP (Digital Signal Processing) in in here I feel jittery about predicating behaviour in the nulling and somewhat fear ringing taking hold. I guess that provided, as would be the case, they are both locked to grid phase the various response timings cannot get too far out.
