Adding panels myself? (Inverter & cables already installed!)
joe90 replied to glock339's topic in Photovoltaics (PV)
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 -
You have to start the flooring from that side really, tucking the first ones under the end panels, yes herringbone can be tricky to get right (but looks good). https://www.factory-direct-flooring.co.uk/advice-centre/how-to-lay-herringbone-flooring?gclid=Cj0KCQiA67CrBhC1ARIsACKAa8RzHQp3M_P9FKKj4_nHJNJBlj8FpXALzR_8bYU67-ar8K0QlLNbzIAaAmNxEALw_wcB

I maybe wrong but I cant see any supports fir that pipe., if not hot water in it may make it sag over time, if you do the “ply” thing I suggested earlier this will also support the pipe 👍 2 birds with one stone and all that 🤷♂️

No, you are learning, as @markc says, we have seen worse. On a practical level this is a bathroom so not liable to see lots of people at the same time so loading will be minimal. If it does worry you then sister it or like I posted above purely fir peace of mind.

Waste pipes are too big to be notched into joists ( normal size ), if at all holes should be in the middle of the joist, the top of a joist is in compression and the bottom in tension so both top and bottom are most important to strength.

Which is why i would use bath panels rather than tiles nowadays!!!, however i have used that protector in the past to good effect.

You need grout protector , I use this with a no 1 paint brush, tedious but very effective https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000IU40JY?tag=track-ect-uk-120267-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1&ascsubtag=ecSEP1swhjlpo1d511

My suggestion above will mitigate that .

Largest outbuilding possible with planning permission?
joe90 replied to optimystery's topic in Planning Permission
Frankly any type of building is possible (as long as meets planning rules locally,) your biggest problem IMO is finding a property that you like/can afford with the space to put that/those buildings. Then you can decide what extra building fits your needs! -
You have already done that with shit coloured cabinets!!!
-
Just around the notch ( about 300mm total length will do)

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder (or not 🙄). Looks shit me.
-
So it’s over the recommended depth of cut, however I would offer this solution., 1/2” ply, glued and screwed both sides of the joist. excuse the CAD (crayon assisted drawing).
-
Or rust! 🤷♂️
-
Hooray, success!!, I managed to source a minature relay. Although the Reed was probably within spec I didn’t like the arc within it, a failure in the future I recon, this is my “test bed”, will wire it in situ tomorrow ( if it warms up a bit 🤷♂️)

Obvious leak problem, but tricky to resolve
joe90 replied to saveasteading's topic in General Plumbing
Oh yes, even wiring in a classic car 😱( ask me how I know!). might this fit to join the pipe https://www.screwfix.com/p/flomasta-outlet-hose-connector-17mm/37103 -
Wood Burning Stove with short flue???
joe90 replied to JUan Carlos's topic in General Self Build & DIY Discussion
NO, @crispy_wafer has a pumice liner, yours must be just brickwork. I recently lined a neighbours brick chimney and installed a bird proof top and his woodburner is miles better (and safer). It’s not that hard to do (if you don’t mind heights 🤷♂️). just one example pulled from the internet https://flexibleflueliners.com/product/125mm-316-316-flexible-flue-liner/?attribute_length=6+metres- 6 replies

Yes they are a nightmare (usually fitted to sink prior to installation, try this, I am sure you can make a joiner with one of these bits or similar https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/186143700881?hash=item2b57077791:g:AkMAAOSwDblik -
Largest outbuilding possible with planning permission?
joe90 replied to optimystery's topic in Planning Permission
Ok not in your position (retired) but my place has a wood shop (posh shed) 4m x 6m, single garage (no room for double), potting shed 3 x 2m and garden shed 2 x 4m, all within PD and no BR.
