Your never going to be able to describe this with words alone. A sketch on a bit of paper, take a picture with your phone and upload it and I'm sure plenty of folk will help.? Use the attachment paperclip icon ??

Super tidy...lots of 'face' type aspects which I like. Brick curved lintels look like eyebrows and the rooflines are nicely juxtaposed. Very nice.

The ex Labour leader? Best PM we never had...?

Similarly I like the banter with passers by. Being 10m from the West Highland Way guarantees plenty of international ramblers passing by. On a summer weekend its like Sauchiehall Street out there! Noteable ones include 5 middle aged Irish farmers who had an amazing amount of knowledge about building. a couple of young nurses from Surrey who helped me lift a wall panel into place 3 ladies from Palm Beach walking the Way, all in their nineties and all with full make up on. a dozen German scouts who stopped on a foul evening and had their dinner in the hut. After cooking noodle (spaghetti) they gave the place an amazing deep clean before offering me a dram from the whiskey they had bought from Germany...they were Ranger Scouts so around 20 years old. And none of the Americans ever, ever said they would vote Trump

Nice

Congratulations...we want pictures of the nice build before you mess it up with all your stuff??

Looks fantastic...good luck. Just an aside but my old neighbour ran a high end curtain making business, told me about a small church conversion he did. Nearly £4k he charged for that job although I think the fabric was tapestry style and expensive and there was lots of it for the big arched window.

Saw it on a Facebook add tonight https://walabot.com/diy?utm_source=FB_Nov_EU_NewLAL_5%+_Amazon&utm_medium=Facebook+ads 100 quid though, for what looks like a con...what dya science fiends say?

My old man was a plumber and told me in the 70s they used stainless steel in new builds because of a copper shortage. He didn't like it because the olives didn't bite as well and it split on the weld if frozen. He was old school though and thought plastic was the work of the ?

In which case don't wear your AC/DC t-shirt, wash your hands and wear a tank top over your waistcoat. Or you could just do the fifty quid note thing, unhelpful though it may be. It's a hard one, how to influence strangers...(expletive deleted) it, I'd just be myself...bet you are a lovely lot anyway

That's a fantastic view, is there a nice English pub nearby...idealic

Hard wired smoke alarm has gone off again by itself (no smoke or fire) this time at 3am. It's my boys flat, he has autism and the alarm caused him to kick off big style. Worked on duty couldn't get it to stop so pulled it off the ceiling. What to do now? Does it run off a transformer? Can I buy a new one and fit it? Or let the landlord do it... Tough night for everyone the damned thing is commercial and wakes up half the street.

Copper looks better if it's on *display* otherwise plastic is faster, easier and the modern stuff is bombproof. Many on here like Hepworth fittings the best. I've also used copper push fit like these, expensive but neat looking

Considering two turbines. Each with built in dumpload and it’s own immersion. Brutal simplicity Oh you boys...talking all technical. I might Google dumpload and immersion but not at the same time or I'll be arrested. Never mind the bloody multiple jets too

I reckon the answer lies not in physics but in how much the water board will charge. Guess they have the monopoly and can call the shots. How much do they want to answer your question?

Google Fulham nozzle.

B&Q have a big saw and will cut to any size you want to within half a mil. Use 25mm MDF and good screws with flush hinges and you're in DiY heaven.

If your making a hole...with a jigsaw? Then shove it out of the way and insert a half dozen stainless steel pan scourers. Think they are four for a quid in Aldi and you'll have an extra gap for insurance. As @Crofter said it doesn't get that hot in normal running.

Do you not need one of these? Oh and yes fire cement...too high a temperature for sealant and you'd have a job ramming rope in there but possible I guess. Fire cement is 4 squid from screwfix

As far as I saw it's all very simple kit...basically two bits of stainless steel tube with some sort of insulating fibre in between. Each end has a self locking joining band that snaps closed rather like an old suitcase clasp. Not sure how an untrained eye could vouch for the quality/thickness of the steel or the properties of the insulation though...

Had a look at that link and it's good prices. My flue was twice the cost of the stove!

I got mine from Mi Flues in Glasgow. The online shop is expensive but the guy at the trade counter have me the trade discount of 58%! Even then it was around £55 per item...this stuff ain't cheap

A storm collar is what you need, should've cheaper than flashing

The final shspe is a pentagon inside a hexagon, so 11 sides In the other lines it has a hexagon, a pentagon and a square so = 15

So boffins the answer is 53
