It feels like a bodge to lay on the bars without any other support, you could use cable tray on the bars to help, that would support them and might be quicker to install than drilling all that concrete, you can, obvs, also put cables on it. I have used this snake-tray stuff in the past, aluminum, very light and will easily span 1200mm even in the small sizes. https://etechcomponents.com/products/snake-tray-653-series-aluminium-cable-tray/

Our build is a bit similar to @Gone West, we used 300mm I joist but we formed the corners on site and our structural engineer, excellent service, was Steven Evans (http://www.evans-structures.co.uk/).

Thanks chaps look at both options.

Have to fit the waste to our daughters shower tray. The waste instructions, and its construction, want the rubber seal below the tray but the tray is not smooth. It is some sort of synthetic material and full of bubbles. Any thoughts on what I can use to fill the holes and then grind flat or is there a simpler solution? Once this goes in there will be no access except from above the tray so it needs to be right first time.

Yep - Easi-Fill every time, great stuff use it for all sorts - including repair of ornate plaster cornicing, sands perfectly. Don't let it go too far out of date, it goes hard VERY fast when it gets old, and I always use the 60 minute stuff anyway - the 20 minute stuff is a bit quick for me, I cannot throw it on fast enough, but you can re-coat in 30 minutes.

hello and welcome to THE forum for people like us!

I didn't weigh it in, my friend, a registered waste carrier took it in for me, I have the ticket somewhere, I can have a look.

It seems not to matter, I cleared out a shed here at millstone manor a few weeks back and and found I had £230 worth of scrap metal which took down to the guy in town, you will know the one opposite TESCO.

That's a millionth or do you mean % in which case 100 millionth of the capacity, which feels like a better share given there are 60 million of us on this island (and its ancillary territories).

So are you saying NO to open source anything AND central connection anything.

People like US - you, me and most of the other forum members - spending the kids inheritance so they can inherit bricks and mortar, although in our case mostly timber and fiber cement!

Given that ASHP install can be done DIY with some electrical work that may bring in the professionals in a few days it is much the most cost effective way forward. GSHP needs professional help in a range of places so as you have shown the costs are around a third for ASHP. If that were all though the choice would be easy. If you are in close proximity to neighbors then ASHP might be a noise problem - there are other rules. https://www.planningportal.co.uk/info/200130/common_projects/27/heat_pumps/2 We had gas connected to our build and run through the slab, but we will now disconnect it as we are going ASHP for heating and probably Sunamp for DHW.

Although in Motor Drive applications like ASHPs the Inverter is preceded by a rectifier to create the DC from your mains supply and the pair of these two devices is often referred to as an AC drive, and sometimes - possibly most times, as an inverter, which rather misses the vital role of the rectifier!

They can wait and then backdate any rating to whenever they they started to contact you and before if they are feeling like it and think they have good grounds.

Why on earth would you want your stem lubricating?.

JFDI here, you have the environment on your side. You can get David Attenborough, Greta Thunberg and Joe Biden on your defence team if it ever comes to court. ( I would have added Boris to your team as well but he is very expensive and frankly not very reliable.)

MVP - remember the first iPod! Share options are available - perhaps!

@SteamyTea posts do that sometimes but you would struggle to argue with the basic analysis even if it has roamed a bit from the thread - interesting all the same.

Yes I just got 10pks of 4.8m batten £400! That is about 30% than I paid for the last lot.

+1 to that in a sense. In reality there is no real timescale for full variable tariffs, second by second, and it cannot come in until our big electricity consumer devices can be controlled / control themselves to work with it. IE Turn off / down and on against the instantaneous price of the juice. A crude version of these tariffs are called Time Of Use (TOU) tariffs and you can read a bit of the speculation around them here: https://energysavingtrust.org.uk/time-use-tariffs-all-you-need-know/ where they say a household could save £5 (Yes Five) a year without changing lifestyle. Good old Octopus Energy have got quite close 30 minute slots, updated daily - so you do the operation planning of the washing machine, dishwasher, water heater etc and, according to their blurb, you can actually get paid for using electricity at some points in the day - do your bit to keep the grid balanced.

Although it feels odd I think it may work as long as the PV and the pod point are the same side of the meter. If you think about it how else would the PV feed the fridge the podpoint is just a 7Kw Fridge. Jeremy Harris explained the technical stuff a couple of years back. But I cannot find the link right now.

And don't forget that you may want access to repair your wall at some point in the future so if you are happy with 800mm then they should be. (Assuming the whole 800mm is on your land.

Thanks @Nod basically what I thought.
