Personal Information

  • About Me
    40 years in IT, then made redundant, which has helped enormously in building. Helped with building renovations and extensions, but it was always a dream to build our own energy efficient house. Well, here we are having started (properly) in late 2020, and very proud of what we have achieved (so far!)

  1. I was thinking 2 x 45's, but then how to get that waste in is the issue, which I haven't figured out a solution yet apart from cut and glue (NO!)
  2. No, just through that brown "cap" in the right hand end
  3. Both those frames are seeding an idea
  4. The oak just wanted to join in 😀
  5. We had 75mm crusher run for our temporary access (still there 😀). We've had upto 32 ton lorries over it and its stood up well. I would use it for a slab foundation - probably will use it for the garage, with a 50 - 75mm sand layer and DPM before slab is poured
  6. Apply online for EE to supply you with fibre broadband. They seem to have a better "way in" to Openreach, maybe something to do with the historical BT(EE) / Openreach relationship, that seems to loosen the red tape. My advice is do not engage with OR directly.
  7. Love that? How much? Do they do a single pitch roof?
  8. The after shot. @Nickfromwales, your wish is my command regarding the waste pipe. Tomorrow's jobbie 🤣
  9. Correct. The issue is the vertical pipe as it is impinges on where the frame is by about 90mm, so has move to the left. There is another waste pipe that comes in bottom right. I think my plan is the simplest way round this and should also cut out some of the noise of falling stuff from above 😀
  10. That must have taken some serious prompts into ChatGPT. Impressive
  11. The red lines are bends and junctions, the yellow are bits of pipe. The white waste pipe will likely go into the pipe between the Y junction and the lower 45 bend
  12. Update: (or "Christ, the f*&K up gets worse") We ordered a wall hung toilet. Having cut a hole in the skimmed plasterboard I was reminded that there was another pipe (behind that insulation in the picture) in the way of mounting the Grohe frame. Feck it. So, tomorrow, I pick up another bunch of bends and create the latest water flume (not open to the public for rides!!) to re-route that downpipe, from the cloakroom above, towards the corner (to the left) so the frame will fit in to allow the wall hung toilet to empty into the visible socket on the right in the picture. Also, the brown pipe will be replaced by a Y junction, and so the white waste pipe and black boss will also have to be refitted. Time for a🍺
  13. Wrap it round that support post? DOOR _______<______ | ▪︎ (post) |______>______
