Just clad with timber to match the house?
-
@oranjeboom dug down every floor in his bungalow and built back up. Check out this and his other threads:
-
The Everbuild 202 has a de-aerator in it so less air to tamp out. Also makes the mix just "better".
-
The 25mm EPS goes atop the Type 2 and under the DPM to yes protect the DPM from puncturing. Also EPS is damp proof. I mixed it myself. 4:1 ballast/cement mixed with Everbuild 202 Integral Waterproofer to the tub ratio. The A142 mesh hold it all together. Meant to add fibres but kept losing them!

Advice on connecting cores of SWA cable inside junction box
Onoff replied to Tim Shand's topic in Electrics - Other
A ring spanner of the size to match the locknut can be easier than an open ender especially when the gland is close to a screw boss. (Slip over the cable end with the power off/isolated). Worst case you get someone to hold the gland side with a spanner and you knock the locknut round / tight with a sharp, flat bladed screwdriver and a hammer. The steel screwdriver tip digs into the brass etc. Last report that really, ideally space your glands so you can get a spanner on. -

Düsseldorf would be amazing I bet considering Florian Schneider and Ralf Hütter formed the band there. I might go.

We have met already!

Radioactivity for me. A glass of something potent then just lose myself in it. Computer Love another favourite. Huge regret never having seen them live ðŸ˜

How does your garden grow?

Pun intended but aren't there links between Neff & Bosch? As in they're the same company? I'd expect parts crossover.

Gave up on trying to fix the old Electra Elecheib induction hob and bought a Bosch. No problem there. The old hob was fed from a length of 4mm² butyl. The new Bosch can be fed from one or two phases. It comes with a length of this cable: So they are suggesting to use this length of cable for single phase operation and just wire the cables in parallel. However....up top in the terminal box are two brass links. Doing nothing, just sat in a "made for it" plastic slot. They look to be about 4mm². There is however no reference to them in the manual? I can see no reason why I can't use the original 4mm² cable and then use the links in the terminal box to link 2+3 and 4+5. I can't fathom why they include the links but don't mention them?

Pressurise inside then sprinkle talcum powder up top?
-
Right...new plan! Fill the basement with water and pressurise it. Then stand up top and see where it comes out. Or cannabis smoke and get a friendly sniffer dog to pop round...
-
Running between wall and gate post, getting into hollow post through the fixing holes?
-
Is it a hollow post? Top sealed? Any holes?
-
Did you ever have any temporary services like water, drainage or electric penetrating the "roof" that were cut off.
-
Is there a gate post? Bolted to the wall I assume rather than into the ground.
