@Sensus, I do remember a post by @Jeremy Harris a year or so ago explaining exactly the process you outline above. This may be the post - about that good old friend interstital condensation. There are some others too..... Here's the search I did on the matter

e-commerce isn't zero overhead(ed) though....... Once set up it's very flexible - scalable - adaptable.

One of those long T shaped thingys with a yoke on the end of it. They are coming fit the container box for it sometime soon. Thats not what concerns me ... The hole will fill with water, and thus sludge. (fine bits of glacial till - sandy clay). Wont be long before the tap becomes unusable, unless I do summat about it. I think I'm just going to have to connect the hole to the land drain. What I could do with is a tame, obedient pet mole: I'm sick of digging up our frontage. I understand @Construction Channel trains them ......

We all focus on the job in hand - "Get [...] done". That's where the profit lies. Urgency.

Two extremely sensible gorillas from UU turned up yesterday: muscles come out of their ears - I would not like to have tangled with either of them. In tow - a brand new Volvo digger in a proper smart digger trailer: I drooled. They listened patiently to me drooling "Loada Crap is 'em Voulez Vous diggas mert, load a crap" Using a Mark I shovel - I kid you not - they dug a neat hole in the time it took me to bring them a cuppa. In the time it took me to supervise the site labourer (SWMBO) they'd fitted the stop tap. In the time it took SWMBO to bollock me up hill and down dale (I'd jumped on the Gabions and knocked them out of line by a mm or two) they'd gone. What a neat, professional job. The shovel strikes again! Our ground is full of nasty glacial till stone. Hard as nails those lads, hard as nails. Thank God.

A really interesting post. Thanks. Could you expand on the issue of VCLs and (lack of?) integrity over time. Are you hinting that there is an issue with all VCLs, or perhaps that over time VCLs get punctured or fail in some way and so their performance is degraded?

? Well I like it. So there! Take that Southern Softie....

I couldn't work out whether those pipes (inlet , outlet) were inside the heated envelope if so, then maybe no need to lag, perhaps?

Ooooooffff! ? Get a Wire Crew to do it. Made my eyes water.

Welcome: and with an offer like that, you are especially welcome. Ian

Just been to Hartley Hire and HSS. The response was polite, but one of astonishment that anyone should dare to ask

?

Thanks be to the Almighty for that...... (spell chekers aint what they used to be)

I found a valuable consignment (for the build) dumped on my verge this afternoon. The driver had arrived, off loaded and gone. A few days ago, and again yesterday and this morning, I called the company from which I purchased the goods to ask if I could be told when the delivery was to take place. Fat lot of good that did. What would have happened had that consigment been nicked?

Quantity Surveying is about risk reduction. In the context of house building, the smaller the budget, the greater the need A quick search on this discussion group shows the following.... a wet evening's quiet reading by the fire side. As usual, everyone else says it better than I can.

I would like ours to be installed at about 900 mm. Hope thats Ok?

He'll have been tired, that's why.

You ask for encouragement ... Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. The Road Not Taken, Robert Frost And if poetry isn't for you, then think of the time you will have to wonder ~ what if I had given it a go? All these years of 'What if' Most here have given it a try. Not all of it pleasant either. But everyone we meet even for a brief chat realises that self building adds something extra to your life. Something more than just the house. In my case, wrinkles.

Morning! Well, you've already covered three themes that occur here regularly. One of us already, then Welcome. Ian

@Onoff, thanks for the attachment, it is very helpful.

That sounds really smart Dave ~ Photo please!

We are about to buy our consumer unit(s)- which CU should I choose? And why? I have a pair of ruined hands so ease of access is important. Beyond that, we will be fitting RCBOS throughout. I look at Cus in Catalogues- and havent get a clue about what is good, bad or indifferent about them.

At last. The Internet used to share information: rather than the opposite.

And thats why I'd prefer to use cable with red and black strands. How would I know if the retification is done in the LEDs themselves (... more expensive I bet?)

? Thanks Its also the case that the "thingamajig" that takes a/c and makes it DC sometimes also called a driver isn't it? Why?
