the permanent tile fix. Like, forever and ever.

mine was the spacetherm stuff. This stuff in fact. https://insulationmerchant.com/products/10mm-proctor-spacetherm®-silica-aerogel-blanket-2400mm-x-280mm-0-67m?_pos=1&_sid=6a6c9b419&_ss=r

like the Gateshead flyover in Newcastle, they are demolishing the entire thing. And closer to home, the National Glass Centre in Sunderland is about to get demolished, 25 years after it was built, pretty pathetic.

i used a spray contact adhesive on my internal upright, stuck no problem.

i used https://www.stairbox.com/ for my own landing design.

my manifold has something similar to these and i found/find them useful if not vital for the setup. But obviously to retrofit would be a draindown so maybe a clip on would be better. https://www.theunderfloorheatingcompany.co.uk/product/1-isolation-valve-set-with-temperature-gauge/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22542092802&gbraid=0AAAAAD1Ow65gAx_VRbI9JILR8ijckwR5x&gclid=Cj0KCQjwr4jSBhCSARIsAOX1E-L8qu9NDV9_uDuhPT8w_ldVaAL7Rx7GMn_L-Z1GmznWEmXsUsFOWAoaAm9OEALw_wcB

Definitely not normal. If it's plasterboard then the joins should be away from any edges but that's what it looks like for me. When I first plasterboarded my front room I just stopped the board at the "easiest point" and guess what, cracked at all these places a year later. Maybe that's what's happened? For what is worth, since then I've cut my boards to keep away from any edges and it's been rock solid.

Hard to argue that it's not difficult. My own place is a refurb of a 30s semi so hardly a full build, although often I think that works be easier. I'm 4 years in and exhausted but it's just a bit by bit, what else can you do. The guys on this forum have been a godsend and it's been a real eye opener starting with practically no knowledge. Stick in there fella, it'll get better once you've got walls!

Wonderful, congratulations.

A blast from the past @Onoff, but I'm interested if this resulted in anything you regret or if you'd recommend it. I'm fitting a window this weekend and I'd thought about filling a chamber with foam so did a quick search and lo and behold, this post was found.

Contrasting opinions there, but as long as it doesn't dry out the trap I'll go for it.

Tile adhesive or traditional plasterboard adhesive? The wall is brick with cavity.

im about to run my wet underfloor in the bathroom. I was going to run it under the resin shower tray because why not, might dry it out, help with mold etc. But then its dawned on me that it might dry out the trap which is obviously no good. My trap is as low a water seal as they come, 25mm. Does anyone have any thoughts or experience with the traps drying out due to UFH? Could easily not run it near the shower tray but it seems it would have its benefits. Obviously not at the expense of the bathroom stinking 2 hours after a shower.

That's the tradesman wages for ya.
