Yes, only way to get a perfect edge is with a router and guide or clamped straight edge. Circular saw and fine (many) teeth second best and sanded with block. You must cut it face down if using a circular saw.

No sorry but supplied by the LVT supplier as recommended.

Will it come apart? Have you tried? It’s obviously a thread device hence the winding handle on top, if it’s like a similar trailer leg it will unscrew completely and drop down so you can see what it’s like (if you can get the chassis high enough.) then you need to get the handle assembly out of that square tube, I can see any fixings on your photo 🤷‍♂️ just looked at the diagram above, if you can get part no 2 off, the jack assembly should fall out.

Can you not find the details of this from public records or the previous owner ?

If the rest works fine surely worth spending a bit getting it working properly?

Yes I discovered this a little while ago. The one I posted about above copes with the small load I want at 240v AC so should work 🤞

It’s a very narrow lane, very little traffic and only a few neighbours, but yes I agree reversing in was my original idea but visitors tend to drive in anyway 🤷‍♂️.

No mention of it in the (Chinese translation) instructions, my last gate had a light terminal but only working whilst the gates were opening/closing.

I could do but better if the lights are only on when the gates are open and ready to reverse out, (forgot to mention I have to reverse out) driving in at night I have my headlights on. 👍 I have order that r/s one 🤞

Ah, think I have found one. https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/magnetic-proximity-switches/6138195 Worth a punt !!!

BT are advertising replacing “wired” phones with wifi driven ones, I only use a mobile and have Wi-Fi calling 🤷‍♂️

Not quite, the existing Reed relay is actuated by a magnet on the gate, (one each end fir open and close “stop” the motor. I want to put an additional Reed next to the existing one ( the stop open one) to control the 240 volt led driver for the led lamps. This will illuminate the lights when the gates are open, if I attach to the motor they will only be on when the gate is moving. I need just the “reed” bit but one that copes with 240 volt AC and about 0.5 amps. I can buy reeds from Amazon etc but fir low voltage/current only. I am reluctant to load the existing electronics In case I blow anything and can’t replace/repair it.

For any electronics experts out there, I have just installed electric gates and want to provide lights (led strips) to the gate pillars as we have no street lights here. The travel stops for the motor is by magnet-Reed relays and I wanted to add a Reed relay on the “open” magnet so the lights come on when the gates are in the open position. I am struggling to find a reed relay (operated by an external magnet) that switched 240 volt at above 0.5 amps ( 75 watt ish led driver.) any suggestions please.

Loads of boats are made of GRP and last a very long time 🤷‍♂️

I doubt it, just a brick chimney “hole”. There should be a cowl over that pipe like yours in the foreground. Have you a cowl on that chimney of yours? Might be worth getting one out there when the work is being done (make sure it’s stainless steel tho).

Very commendable, just shows what can be done, I have my doubts about the longevity of tapes 🤷‍♂️

That ridge tile allows ventilation into an unused chimney but stop rain entering (well in theory!!). All that mortar needs to come off and be renewed.yours is the better half but as it’s shared “his” damp will migrate to yours. Frankly I think you are on a hiding to nothing trying to get him to do anything so get a quote for the work to both sides just so you solve your problem. Actually the main cost is scaffold and getting up there, the additional cost of doing his as well is minimal (IMO).

My point was solar farms suffer the same logarithmic decline but still are a part of the overall green generation.

True but the same goes fir all solar farms, and the amount of green generation is still going up. As has been said before inter seasonal storage is the holy grail. Interesting he has no batteries !!

No.

If that was generated at the treatment plant you need a hot water distribution system, shame it could not generate electricity (if only to run itself).

Explain for those of us that are thick!!,!

Interesting about the solar/metal roofing, yes stupid huge. I wonder how a “normal” size build could achieve 4 times generation above usage, then again “normal” size would use a lot less I guess. Along comes @SteamyTea With his slide rule……..

Makes a lot of sense, using existing warm water and heat pumps.

Oh yes I am (adverts on so surfing the forum) huge ini, I am waiting to see what the “solar film” actually is?
