FuerteStu

Update.. Ordered from these guys, after a week I got a call saying they don't have it and they would refund. Ordered instead from 'plumbing supplies delivered' and after 2 weeks it's arrived and they've sent the T12 instead of T12F so the threads are the wrong way round and it's useless. (I paid for a delivery upgrade to get it fast too) I've come to the conclusion that all plumbing suppliers are utterly useless and it looks like I'm throwing away the 40mm pipework and AAV already fitted under the sink and doing it in 32mm. After a month of messing around 🤣🤣😭😭

This potentially opens up a whole new potential field of bio-mechanics to counteract climate change.. Surface area to volume, large trees are inefficient compared to other structures that could take up the same spaces. Just a thought

Would the low profile ones be suitable in this scenario? I've seen some almost as thin as plasterboard.

Still on gas here on the Norfolk/Suffolk border. When it stayed below -5c all day we burned through £7 of gas in 24 hours. Probably higher than it could have been because SWMBO likes it at 23c at all times My one redeeming relief came in watching the snow melt on all the other bungalow roofs around me, but my loft conversion flat warm roof kept it's white later until it rained last night. Expensive times, could have been more so

I bullseyed a copper pipe that was less that 5mm deep in the floor screed while fixing a footplate to close up a doorway after joining up shower/toilet separates. Managed to do it at 9pm one night, all hell broke loose, including the stopcock handle breaking off when I tried to isolate. One thing with renovations, if it can go wrong, it usually will at the worst time possible!

I've seen plastic conduit lengths and potatoes used to make a gazebo in a back garden party once. Was actually incredibly effective

Very possible! Just concerned about the amount of thread on the 1.75" side..

Got an 1.5" basin sink waste into 1.75" trap. Was thinking such a simple adapter would be easy to find, but alas I'm only finding the wrong sizes, or reverse threads (female to male instead of male to female etc) I've already got 1.75"pipe and AAV coming up under the sink.. Would it just be better to get another trap and reduce it there? Or can anyone find something like the macalpine T16 that's actually the right size?

How much would the same surface area of brickwork weigh? .... At some point a structural engineer would have signed off if the designs? No?

With old (and possibly rusty) Allen key grub screws, a flat head screwdriver about the same size and a few gentle taps with a hammer force it in so it can be undone

I always remember the saying of an old chippy I used to work with.. "jobs only as good as your pencil is sharp" The more precise the mark, the better the finish.

Governments usually start 400+ consultations a year, 300+ bills and less than 50 acts end up getting past. This is yet another case of "i'll believe it when I see it" because even if it scrapes through, the other chamber would water it down so they could build bigger more swimming pools but we can't add an inch onto our sheds.

It's a bit like lego, except none of it is compatible, the instructions are in Chinese, it keeps costing you money even when youre not building, and when you finish you'll spend your time staring at pieces of it.

Wall template?

Thanks, I did template having the 2nd step similar to the first but it just didn't look right from the sides. Felt better with it being set back and square.
