  1. Also recommend paying someone. I had similar - all 200mm concrete with a lot of reinforcement a good guy can do quite a few holes in a half day. For mine he bolted the drill to the wall - maybe he could have used a stand for the drill but a few were quite high. A bonus is that the cores are super smooth and with a bit of varnish make a nice ornament. Will post up from my phone 🙂 I've some decent extra long 20mm bits for small hole requirements and they actually work better than expected as long as rebar is not in the way
  2. TV Wall - maybe consider a TV set into a fabric covered wood frame. You can more easily increase size if you need to and can also have speakers set behind the fabric so can provide a nice looking solution with some flexibility
  3. I have an invertech which has been running fine but this eve the water is 23 with setpoint 45. Unit is running but not heating water. It is set for both got water and heating. Not aware of any time limits on heating the water. Any suggestions of what to check as thought would start heating water as a priority. Thanks
  4. well no dust but plenty of water coming through the table when cutting - it's cold out neighbours can close the windows
  5. Thanks all - in the end I found a Rubi table saw for a bargain locally so have that - did a test and even with the blade left in it it cuts cleanly through the 20mm tiles 🙂 Only issue is the amount of noise this is going to make, my neighbours probably thought I'd finished making a racket!
  6. I've laid all the full tiles on my terrace (on pedestals) and now about to attack the edges - the tiles are 20mm porcelain 600x600. About 30 tiles to cut. I'd like to get a non or very minimally chipped top edge - what should I use for this? I understand the cutting disc is really important and I need a wet cutter. Would a simple table like this https://www.toolstation.com/vitrex-power-pro-750w-wet-tile-cutter/p82003?store=LQ&utm_source=googleshopping&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=googleshoppingfeed With a decent blade like this https://pureadhesion.co.uk/rubi-porcelain-tile-diamond-rim-machine-blade-cpc-180mm-30955/ be up to the job? Or do I need a big machine like this https://tools4trade.co.uk/products/excel-1250mm-wet-tile-cutter-bridge-saw-240v-1200w?variant=42311376273605&currency=GBP&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&srsltid=AfmBOoo12F815X3zguW7QZLU7TscCY51PE_vmPOLbFPYaUAjtbeUW5wJGE4 which maybe I should rent? I guess a blade that comes down into the tile face may mean a cleaner cut? cheers for info
  7. I had similar but it was the LED bulbs used in a bedroom ceiling. Thought it was my automation boxes causing a small leakage current but was fixed by changing the bulbs - I guess some bulbs have a "feature" that does nothing with any very low level current? Maybe a quicker thing to check?
  8. Well, maybe. The aim is to KISS 🙂 The ASHP / Buffer config is a setpoint of 34 degrees (thought was 32 as per original post) with a 3 degree differential. Meaning the UFH should be getting water in the range 31 to 37 degrees. I'll take the setpoint down to 30 and see how we get on. My concern with going lower is really just the time for the UFH to start having an impact. The room stats are all in the plant room so have remote probes in vented wall mounts Balancing - using self-balancing actuators so think this should be OK unless there is some other balancing you have in mind.
  9. OK so seems the simpler model does not allow external temp probe - which I need. Issue is the larger one does not fit a standard back box - which I need. So....still looking for a low temp differential (0.1 or 0.2 degrees) simple timer that allows an external temp probe and fits a regular UK single back box - let me know if you have any....am continuing to Google of course but nothing yet
  10. yes will try that also. I see the same co does a simpler version which looks like a good replacement for my Wunda which has 0.2 degree differential vs Wunda 0.5. Will get one to test on 26 quid
  11. Hi - UFH has been in and working great. Only issue is that the UFH is in liquid screed (50-75mm thick) and the Wunda stats only have a 0.5 min temp differential meaning if I set 22 degrees UFH will come on at 21.5 and stay on until 22.5. SAs we're running low temp ~32 degrees by the time the UFH comes on and we notice a difference it could be 3hrs later by which time it is much below 21.5. And of course the stat will stop UFH flow at 22.5 and then there is a lot of heat still in the slab so we overshoot desired temp. This is of course not a big deal in the scheme of things but I am wondering if I could swap out some of the stats for more sensitive controllers - I called Wunda and they say the ones I have can't be adjusted to be more sensitive (I already read the manual but hoped there may be a trick as the temp reading is per 0.1 degree granularity). I have 1-0 of these but at least hey are all in the plant room so swapping one out to test is quite easy. Other aspects to consider ASHP and wired temp probes in walls within a vented panel. I do have a home automation system running (Hubitat/Zwave) which I could possibly start to use to support this and maybe could have saved money by not having the stats/temp probes in the first place but I like the idea of the UFH being modular and just left to do its own thing without extra integrations. Thanks for any suggestions.
  12. Our dog is quite excited by ham at Christmas + my daughter will need locking away from it 🙂
  13. Thanks for the additional valuable comments 🙂 Yes @Pocster one day the room will exist, complete with lovely contents, maybe if in time also an iberico leg for crimbo - iris recognition, if you're too drink maybe you'll get blocked 🙂
