This is what we use: I don't know the market well enough to recommend or warn about anything else. But if you stick to the - fewest possible moving parts - rule you won't go far wrong. Please do your Due Diligence - many others here have different systems and find them excellent. Protect the pipe by putting a (couple of?) concrete window lintels (£20) over the pipe where the tractor is like to chug. But unless the pipe is very shallow at that point, I should think (guess) you won't need to worry. 900mm will do I think. The farmer will not want to over-compact the field.

Potentially, you've got £5000 + worth of expense: tank £3k, drainage field £2k, piping and laying (?+). That said, the report cited above isn't that bad. Essentially it says " Ask me to come back when you've cleared the blockage - and get me to suggest a drainage field, and - if someone had recently pooped in this system, I'd be able to tell you more. " Beware of charlatans in this sector. Tank: anything with as few moving parts as possible - an air-blower will do (and does for many of us). Loads of other posts about the issue on BH. Size: the tank size rules are based on what a house can accommodate, as opposed to what you actually need. The soak-away (drainage field) - might need moving to a different site. I'm sucking my teeth here hoping thats not necessary.

Milngarvie ? Bearsden?

In haste.... Read up on the General Binding Rules

We've got some electricians in at the moment and while they will move stuff for themselves, they also charge for moving furniture. I think you will end up paying more to have electricians to do work which isn't as technically demanding.

What do you mean? Silly? It's German what more you need...

A cool morning will do - when there's little sunlight - because that can 'get-in-the-way'.

Here's too much information An interesting thing to say.....

I have no experience of this particular camera. What i can say is that it took me a while to understand the images produced (Bosch GTC ) . You might see a cool spot: OK. But is that spot cool enough to make any difference to the overall 'picture' ?. Put another way, is it worth making any effort to remediate the difference? That means looking at whether the camera you buy allows you to choose the temperature range - and to (re)set the graduation of temperatures shown in the image. Will the camera allow you to search for a wide range of temperature difference - or merely a narrow temperature difference? Yes, I submitted to the tempation of scanning the results of a fart - there is a marked temperature difference. Dog farts are the hottest overall. Hamsters fart continuously.

Welcome. Tell us a bit about yourself - what do you most enjoy doing in the context of building for example ..... ?

Or fund Local Authorities properly.

Not a 'given' @Pocster . Not in my case.

Not only a self-builder: but also brave. Hats off well done. Got any goss' about Our Kev and 'is little proclivities - we'll keep it a secret? Honest PS I'll ask it first ------ How The Hell Did You Get Those Stairs signed off ?

The one thing we are not is expert. We encourage everyone to do their own Due Diligence. It would seem from the images that the (lack of ) difference in height between the Inspection Chamber (IC) cover and FFL has a lot to do with the problem. It looks certain that that design is guaranteed to cause problems

Learn patience.

You are in excellent company. The only member here with enough money is @Pocster Talk nicely to him and he'll put a HobNob in the post for you. That should save you a bit.

Pete, that wasn't a joke........

Wimmin. "There you are darlin' ... " says @peteypops with a big (this means Brownie Points) smile and flourish "Errr...." ( she hoists a storm warning - with a matching smile natch) "WhatAboutThe [.....] sweetheart ?" " But you didn't ask for one of those " Foot tapping starts ...... "Well I'd have thought that was obvious ...... "

Well done Sir! Top of the Class. Diplomat of The Year Award. I found that on our house build, everyone, but everyone tries really hard not to talk about anything that smells or could smell if things go wrong.

A reputable Estate Agent will answer that question. And if you ask three of them, and they all agree.....

I asked a similar question in relation to our house. The most sensible reply was (among a wide range of others) treat the area as if it exceeds the threshold anyway. Followed by " In a fire, would you like to be stuck up there just because you'd saved a few quid ?" We don't have to think too far back to what Value Engineering can do in relation to fires and survivability

I never could remember the difference between malapropism and spoonerism. Mangle will have to do for me. Still @SteamyTea and @Pocster will doubtless soon pile in with their take(s) on the matter of how we can make a hash of poor newbie @Fulltopuk's innocence. For me, there are just too many permutations .... I mean just imagine how a proper Lancastrian could mangle the screen name

Welcome. That'll be you and a few hundred other then '...asking more questions than I can answer ....'

@nod has forgotten more about rendering than all of us put together will ever know. But that hasn't stopped me trying to find out about rendering because it's a really interesting thing to do (or in my case mess up). I still know close to SodAll, but I can research Tinternet This guy is really good at explaining the process

Excellent. Interesting design. "... 20 years+ ..." An excellent lesson there for many. Persistence has its rewards.
