Storm. Tea cup. Is sounding like sufficient evidence to ask the planner to do something?

What have you really lost: I mean, really, really lost? Teachers all over the Internet have taken and used my resources and Debbie's (SWMBO) and used them - often. Hours and hours worth of our own work. Shrug and forget. The time'll come when you can drop it into the conversation: 'til then, head down.

From experience: yes.

Building on the content of this topic on connecting LED strip lighting drivers to the mains, a little bird whispered in my ear, loud enough for me to worry ( - overthink - Ok @Russell griffiths ? ) about where I can / should / may /may not / would / could / oughtn't to / may / am permitted to place the drivers. You know, those things that are called drivers, but are transformers really. Thinking about fire regulation, are there any rules where they may not be placed ? Of course, it makes sense to place them in an accessible place for maintenance reasons - but what about ceiling spaces where sound insulation might increase their working temperature. Can I bury one in some of the over-abundance of insulation that exists in my front wall?

Debbie! Christmas present idea. Please!

Our flat roof slopes 160 mm over 9 meters. No water stays on it for long.

Exactly.

Dog saliva is antibacterial: for a dog's withers, nothing cleans better than a good lick. Having once been nearly killed by feline oral flora, I'm pretty loath to be licked by anything on four legs.

Perish the thought Gary. Yes, of course I will. But I want to know the answer to the question before I ask it. If it takes 10 minutes to pop up on the roof and drop some dyed water and watch where the drip comes through then I'm gonna do that. I'm done with letting trades do their stuff without me taking an active interest in what they do..... ? ?? Top banana. I'll have a good with free then: so we can swop drip stories in the pub . Evalon. Off to the gym to pump iron - takes courage does that exercising next to really super fit female stick insects . Ahhhhh poor me eh?

I'll spare you the details. I'm trying to trace a tiny weeny driplet that is squeezing itself through our brand new flat roof. Yes, it's the installers responsibility. Yes, tell him to sort it. Yes. But I want to find this sodding leak point. I have traced it to one general area. By running a hose over it when the roof is dry. Now I need to identify the actual place that leaks. Is there any way of colouring water such that the colour will still show once it trickles through the roof?

Ours would be for our new house, not the little shack we've lived in since last century. So, I'll need to put the wiring for one in now. It would be brilliant if an electromagnetically intelligent BH member were to suggest where or how I could come by a wiring diagram for such a system, please?

... 'old on a minnit... You mean every time you lose power, your poor wife has to get up from her comfortable armchair seat and find that nobody's rung the doorbell? Good luck with that. I'd get marmalised ....

You lost me after the word 'Easy ... '

? No excuse for sleep here at GCN Central.

I better get this in before Nick does..... Bird is the Word, bird bird bird......

Now there's a simple answer for a simpleton like me. Thanks

? Its my damaged back thats the issue .....?

An 8 year old girl with an eye for detail, and whose mum says of her "You're going to be a proper little madam"

Moira, thats a picture. You must be very pleased. Hard work a bit of courage and determination has its rewards....

Hmmmm, so an isolator for MVHR - (which also has its own on/off switch) The SunAmp The Geberit loos the cookers the hob but not the fridge, freezer or minor stuff. Hmmmm. Can't see the logic - yet.

You have 30 minutes to answer the following question. Do not copy what @JSHarris, @Onoff or @ProDave or that other really nice Scottish boffin write. @TerryE writes with disappearing ink so its OK to look at his answer. Write your name at the top of your paper and on each page that you submit Your invigilator will collect your online answers and collate them below. Q1: Isolators isolate. Switches switch. Discuss. A good answer will make reference to the ways in which switches and isolators are similar, and the ways in which they perform different functions. An excellent answer will give good, clearly expressed examples of when an isolator should be fitted instead of a simple switch. A good answer will show how switches are sometimes Double Poled, and sometimes not, and the reasons for the differences. Top marks will be given for those answers referring to how switched fused spurs and fused isolators are used, especially those made by Scolmore. Oh bugger it, lets cut to the chase. The examiner doesn't know when he should fit an isolator, and when a mere a switched fused spur will be adequate. Ta! Ian

I'm not your mum. We do appreciate your contributions: lots of people will have read your problem, have similar ones themselves and - on the basis of your interaction here - worked out how to sort things out for themselves. Put some clothes on ( ?) and go for a walk.

I realise my suggestion is a challenging one. I am not your mother, but my advice above borders on the inappropriate. Neither Build Hub not I has a therapeutic relationship (duty of care) with you. We cannot - accurately and with authority - advise you to the extent you are asking. Asynchronous communication (written text question and answer) does not support the level of detail you require. The volume of advice you have received is vast. I realise also that you are communicating in what to you is probably an Additional Language. That makes your job of reading that advice hard. It makes the job of respondents to your posts harder too. Your written style is sometimes challenging too. Nothing is going to change if you have a few days off. Please, please, have a good rest. Come back next week. Please.

@zoothorn. Switch your computer off right now. I realise that I'm asking you something that's really difficult . Have a well-deserved long weekend off SWITCH OFF AND WALK AWAY NOW .. See you next week, eh?

If you have to ask for support about issues like that, walk away from the build. Right now. Give yourself a long weekend away from the build. Right now.
