  1. You show us yours working and we'll show you ours
  2. My PRV is known as Silent-But-Deadly in our house.
  3. Legislation does not allow the installation of a septic tank any more. You'll have to have a treatment plant of some sort, sometimes called a digester. In haste : search for ( here and elsewhere on Tinternet) 'digester' , 'Approved Document H', 'off mains drainage ', and finally 'General Binding Rules' A local landowner ( of the field next to us) got as far as building a shepherds hut and putting it on his field, but when he did his Due Diligence about renting it, he found the foul drainage issue too costly, and so the hut now sits in his workshop yard. His point was that renters expect flushing toilets and efficient showers. A Chuck-It-Bucket doesn't cut it ( his words, not mine - sorry - its Friday 😑)
  4. Free stuff , live stuff @Square Feet
  5. I'm guessing ( guessing because I don't know what KFK fascia brackets are ) I solved a similar 'tightness' issue by re-seating the brackets so that the gutter could be mounted in the same way that their (Lindab) extensive video support suggests. Is the tightness caused (in part) by the gutter being fitted under the already tiled roof? I had to take a row of roofing tiles off to give us some more room to work.
  6. Yer man from Brizzl 'll be along sometime soon 😑
  7. Thanks very much . It would be great if more people used video to describe what they are doing.
  8. @Pocster , if you weren't constantly looking for the Promised Land, it would come to you. Simples
  9. That wuz crool, but funny. That wuz crool, but insightful
  10. Temporary structure.... ?
  11. Thanks @Tony L for drawing attention to the erroneous information from Gemini. I use the same AI source a great deal. The answers to my questions are often simply wrong. But it's correct often enough to keep my custom. Annoying, but useful because simple acceptance of the answers given is not an option.
  12. You might consider asking for evidence of her Professional Indemnity Insurance...... maybe things have got past that stage - just a thought
  13. Here's a simple practical guide - ( which we followed) Water Testing a Pipeline ( downloaded October 2026)
  14. There's a lot to be said for relative poverty. In my case having to use my brain rather than my (empty) wallet was and remains a valuable resource. Uncomfortable but valuable.
