I'd try a bathroom / kitchen limescale remover.

It was caused by "concrete"? Yeah, right! 😉

You bolt / screw a rail on each opposing wall (I used unistrut), set dead level. You then make a tamping bar that "hangs" on the rails, with it's underside at finished slab level. Then just barrow in your screed or concrete and drag/fill/tamp to level. I did 4:1 concrete. Used Everbuild 202 integral waterproofer as an admix that also incorporates a deaerator i.e less bubbles & less tamping to get them out. I'd do it this way again in a heartbeat: I am however a bit odd. You can set your screed rails in the floor so to speak, fill/tamp to them then pull them out and fill where they were.

How wide is your garage? Set up screeding rails either side and tamp to them. Can't go wrong and more level than a level thing. If mixing concrete yourself add deaerator.

Our Starlink gen 2 died about 7am this morning we think. The LED on the router no longer lights up. It had been working since the thunder / lightning storm Monday night. Lad contacted them. "Yes, we can see a problem with your set up, we'll send you out a gen 3 kit, foc, under warranty, asap. Do whatever you want with the old kit". Can't fault the service.

Screwfix No Nonsense remover worked for me.

Why not tank the surface?

All the panels are up now. Just re-tubing where some got damaged. The installed panels covered with 99% reflective blankets to limit them heating up without any glycol in. Doing the interconnect pipes too in 15mm copper. Boss white and flax string on these joints. Even some 3D printing along the way. A hand hole saw to clear the expanding foam pocket where the tubes push in: Then a reforming tool for the bent, aluminium heatsinks:

Found a second hand cylinder at last:

Why recess the quartz at all? Search for long range / invisible wireless chargers:

I've been mulling the £400-500 Makita 18V first fix one that does 90mm nails.

I brought 63/50mm flexible conduit into the house from the garage recently. Inside that is a 16mm² SWA along with two 20mm flexible conduits for data etc. With hindsight I should have gone for 100mm especially as I'm now considering another EV charger. I was mind (still am) tight for money so the 63/50mm came off FB marketplace cheap. Ah well!

No potholes round your way?

Have a look here at 4.3.6. Gives the gist. https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Book/4.3.6.htm

Obviously give it a cursory once over but I bet it would sail through. It's pretty much a box ticking exercise anyway.

Waiting for my AliExpress solar shade "blankets" before I put the two tubed panels up. As for the pipes to connect the panels together I'm not sure 🤔 I've bought some Chinesium, corrugated solar pipes but don't know if they're man enough. The white "top hat" insert seems to be some sort of silicone rubber maybe? People elsewhere have suggested just using 15mm copper instead of the corrugated tubes?

Just download ChatGPT and take all the effort out of it.

That one installed panel is the one without the evacuated tubes fitted. It was the one where they were all smashed to hell. Still need to get new ones. So that's both rails fitted, tiles back. Was way too hot to carry on. Even the stainless of the panels were scorching to the touch / bare arm etc! My sense of symmetry is now not offended too much:

Needs to be 300mm minimum from the hob (or sink) from memory...

Giving some welly on a pair of ordinary side cutters should cut that box. If you want to use a multi tool just slit and slide over a bit of 15mm copper pipe on the cable. Can't see why it'd be a problem to slot the holes as long as you use a grommet.

I found the Geberit instructions confusing initially. Helped watching some of their YouTube videos. Dare say Grohe have the same or if not then on their website.

Being (half) silly...3D print the profile in say PETG as short strips with fixing slots in. Then glue on. You'd just import the profile above, convert to an SVG file and extrude, a doddle. Roughly a full infill, (solid), 250mm strip would weigh 34g. You could print diagonal on the bed to get a longer length but for batch printing a few at a time you'd have to work with the 256x256 bed. Out of a kilo of filament then you'd get 30 strips. 30 x 256mm is nom 7.7m. A kilo roll of PETG filament is circa a tenner on Amazon. So about £1.30/m Half the price! You could have that again as the strips wouldn't need to be full infill. Just add in the cost of your time, electric and buying a printer! 😂

I have followed this exact advice. Job's a good 'un.
