If you can turn the push down plug bit it can be unscrewed to change the push bit. A suction cup might pull it up if it's strong enough?

I I think these are the type of screws for hangers etc. https://www.tcfixings.co.uk/product/simpson-tx20-csa-connector-screws-50mm-x-35mm/17499?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=17347847741&gbraid=0AAAAADfLLCp7Mywl_VK9JlivX3AWSyoTk&gclid=Cj0KCQjwk5nVBhDiARIsAHNGqadLNGLJMo6ttMmHRe1au_g_ycT8PQaa09USMbr3oTc-UsjKuZZcrDoaAqAKEALw_wcB Normal screws are not suitable, these have a shoulder to fit the hole.

Trapezoidal / profile roof questions
MPH243 replied to Alan Ambrose's topic in Roofing, Tiling & Slating
I have fitted some and doing some on a small shed tomorrow. Eaves depth 50mm ish to suit gutter. I try to cut the flashing as little as possible as it's the first area to rust and bending is difficult to make good. How complex is the roof? I have only used the foam fillers they do let a bit of ventilation through but stop most of the insects. Never seen the z profile used for ridge unless maybe more commercial / Industrial buildings. Roofing is normally 0.7mm as it's stiffer when walking on. (If flat enough, it's still a slide when wet) I have bought from Cladco they are good quality and never had a problem, but we are close enough to collect small orders as well. -
Anyone know of a 50mm thick solid wood fibre board?

Have you tried Mike Wye, I don't know how much delivery would be as they are in Devon. -
This puts any of our challenges into perspective

I agree kudos to the people involved in all the props going into the building. I don't think I would want to be in there, but I guess the risk of injury/death from collapsing is huge as surrounding buildings could go as well. -
After just using a tape measure it does makes sense for smaller numbers but anything over 1m you measure the easiest way to read the numbers.

I have the Q450 the sensors are all in the unit, 1 each side of the heat exchanger on both supply and extract. Mine is the same 100% bypass, I can't connect to mine to show the figures but was the same as yours earlier. I think it's probably the fan warming the air. The bypass takes it over the top of the heat exchanger to miss it. I think if you look this afternoon it goes into reverse and closes the bypass when outside is warmer than the house.

What did you do that for🤣. Is it a excuse to sit down for a beer.

What battery drill should I buy? The choice is bewildering.
MPH243 replied to jimseng's topic in Tools & Equipment
I have Makita 18v Lxt but the guys I mainly work for are DeWalt, there is not much difference between them. Get a couple of 4 or 5ah batteries and a make sure it's a fast charger what ever you go for. My Dad has a cheap angle grinder and garden 6 inch chainsaw and blower all work well for occasional use. I also have a Makita Lxt lawnmower, strimmer and hedge cutter so it's worth thinking about when you have finished what garden tools as batteries tools are so much easier and you have the batteries. -
Time for some new Makita goodies- any good deals on?
MPH243 replied to Crofter's topic in Tools & Equipment
Get the Dc18rc quick charger, it is half the time to charge. If you are doing something that drains batteries you will be kicking yourself. (Guess how I know). -
I like the walnut and that it came from your tree. It is also very different colour from nearly all the other stairs you see now.

@SteamyTea Might be warm but a bit breezy for you 98mph on scilly isles and 89mph at Culdrose. I hope everything stays ok for you.

Insulating a shed for laundry room?
MPH243 replied to flanagaj's topic in General Self Build & DIY Discussion
Yes you can, you could use plywood/osb inside to give fixing for hanging things, and then remove them to move the frame and reassemble. -
Do you have solid metal ducting between mvhr and silencer or foam like this https://www.epicair.co.uk/products/Ubbink-aerfoam-150mm-2m-pipe-insulated-duct?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=20379623923&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20375261885&gbraid=0AAAAAD8qV0kJRL43zBaZRBZ16PVsqJvqB&gclid=Cj0KCQjwrojHBhDdARIsAJdEJ_cB4QtbWmQTL0iscIrgurD10fWtrsWbSvCQmMconP2pdEfZATfGfoAaAn-MEALw_wcB If metal the foam might help quiet the noise. Also you could mount the mvhr on rubber washers.

Identify the Swedish screw (and where can I source it?)

Well done Only the up stands and the new leaks from the water butt, so 200 pages are possible.
-
New water leak thread coming soon.🤣 How many pages will that get, at least the old ones sorted.

@craig is the best help with doors. I can see the door is the right way round now. You also can't get to the screw I was on about because of the reveal. (It was late) Hopefully you will get it sorted.
-
I think your door has been fitted the wrong way round, are the beads outside? (i might be wrong but the handle screws are outside). Also to adjust the door the middle white bit will leaver off when shut with a flat screwdriver it is very flexible plastic, the screw with the hex on has a allen head on the end to adjust. The two tiny allen screws are needed to be loosened to adjust the up/down screws that are coved by round caps top and bottom, these also are the hinge pins. Hopefully this makes sense, i don't fancy going out and taking pictures as its dark and raining. But i can tomorrow if you need me too.

@SteamyTea I think he meant the nails are more likely to split timber as you have more control of a screw. How about using cladding screws they are quite expensive you don't need a nail gun and only 1 or 2 boxes for what you need. https://www.toolstation.com/tongue-tite-plus-stainless-steel-tg-screw/p36869

Your best chance will be a local sawmill, if they can't they will know probably know someone that will. It is a quite unusual profile so getting a exact match will be the issue but should be close.

I like @Onoff idea they are pricing just under £50 a m3 plus hose extensions( that's what came back on Google). They can bring the tube through the house with hopefully little damage? It would be worth a call for a guide price as no labourers or digger required. You will still need a grab lorry to get rid of the soil.
