No. Here's why.... https://youtube.com/c/PeterMillard https://youtube.com/c/FreebirdInteriors Hours and hours of video support not to mention interesting informed opinion.

Geberit do loads of floor-fastened pans. They don't make it easy to order them or to sort out what fits with what. So ring them (in the UK) : the tech / help people are very good indeed. Order from reuter.de, much cheaper (or were when we ordered two) Need help with the German - PM me. Ian

I wouldn't bother but, apart from laziness, can't tell you why I think that. Oh, I know, our chippie says if you don't need to cut something, don't. Very nice man, very very nice man.

Tell us please what's immediately above stair No. 1. I ask because if it's a corridor maybe that can be nudged : if its a room, then maybe a cuboid shape can be built into the room to accomodate the stairway height clearance. We put a bed on top of such a 'bodge'. Kids loved it. If on the other hand it's a load of plumbing or a window, then ..... ? PS reading Dave's reply, I think I may have misunderstood .... apologies if I have. I cant see why stair 3 is an issue ... it seems like there's plenty of clearance. Cheap glasses?

When I tried to find some online, I couldn't at a sensible price - Lancashire BMs simply don't sell them ( "No call for em mate" : " So my request doesn't count then?" ) Ended up with the Tupperware versions and wish I'd spent the money on the metal ones, even tho' they're stoopid prices.

No. I get a discount on some items with two local BMs. As I have come to understand it, there is a commonly held misconception among self builders that they should be able to negociate lower prices because of the volume of money they spend. Mostly ( with the exception of a few serial masochists) self builders are not repeat customers. @BotusBuild : were you to regularly order £1000 of drainage stuf, I'm sure you'd get a discount.

If the data (not programs) on the iPad is iportant to you, then transfer that first - I suggest to a cloud-based account so you can download it later. Then deep (sometimes called Hard, or Factory) reset.

Sounds like the problem is on the iPad. Restart, or Soft Reset or Reset (in that order) it to factory settings. Here are the detailed instructions Uninstall as many programs as you can before doing the deep (factory) level Reset.

Perhaps a bit late, but is this a help? And this is the pricing structure we used.

Four years in and I'm still thinking , no, worrying about that. Not doing what you might reasonably be expected to - how do you know what you don't know? Ask and read here. It will repay the effort, Regards, Ian

A week, reading this forum. Welcome and good luck

Pat On The Back time.

Right so far. Long may it last. Welcome. Ian

If my experience is anything to go by, I think so. No stones got jammed in ours. Stones of a certain size 'stick' to it (you can brush them off later) , but thats all.

Highly UNlikely. They haven't the time or resource. But neighbours, axe grinders, bored local weasels, curtain twitchers might. And they could rattle the bush telegraph that wakes a somnolent planner. Who has to react.

Hmmm, so that Mr Epsilon's question about the humble strap proves anything but boring. I knew it !

'Cladding it' with some sort of housing - while allowing ample air circulation? @zoothorn, could you photograph the offending bit of equipment : might help us help you (?) The thing is, if someone like @SteamyTea says you need your calclations for us to help you, you really do need them. Might you be able to ask for them?

@Dave, @Oz07ok at the date of the OP....

I have a moderate amount of experience with Durisol. Reading this will answer some of your questions. Good luck with your project Ian PS: just a quick thought - order the right number Dursiol of blocks, and re-order a few weeks in advance if you think you might run short. Its not like popping down to the BM for another few blocks of whatever.

I've re-read this whole thread @zoothorn. I'm left wondering whether you might be (figuratively) using sticky tape to block the holes on a cullendar? Expensive sticky tape. Might you need to think about other ways out of the problem?

Cheap is not a good idea with adjustable spanners. Since you mention Amazon, this selection, not the cheapest or most expensive, might well suit. I suggest this range because the jaw action is more precise. You are less likely to slip because the jaws tend to fit more precisely and so have less play.

Save yer pennies. Screw it. @Russell griffiths uses his principally on his fishing trips.

Erm, isolate the shower supply: I suspect you have thought of that, but just in case you haven't......

Right. Wot's next then? Noo smart meter?

Already done that Dave...
