  1. 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 😭
  2. Good year for figs here. Was going to show you my plums but it's too hot.
  3. Pun intended but aren't there links between Neff & Bosch? As in they're the same company? I'd expect parts crossover.
  4. 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?
  5. Wipe clean and hides a multitude of sins, what's not to like!
  6. Clad with uPVC?
  7. I dug my bathroom floor down and from the bottom up put back: -Compacted 40mm max dia graded hardcore ("Type 2" near enough). Whacked direct into the clay. -Sharp sand blind -25mm EPS -DPM -150mm PIR (100+50) -Polypipe tray with UFH -A142 mesh -100mm wet concrete laid to screed rails -Tiles
  8. You wouldn't want to drop the mic if he's behind you...
  9. Pressurise inside then sprinkle talcum powder up top?
  10. 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...
  11. Running between wall and gate post, getting into hollow post through the fixing holes?
  12. Is it a hollow post? Top sealed? Any holes?
  13. Did you ever have any temporary services like water, drainage or electric penetrating the "roof" that were cut off.
  14. Is there a gate post? Bolted to the wall I assume rather than into the ground.
  15. Water could be running down the side of that embedded bit.
  16. Pitched 😂
  17. Shame on you then 😂 It's about the journey not the destination!
  18. Ideal job for a 3D printer.
  19. Plenty of videos on using them on YouTube. You are in a minority not using them tbh.
  20. Well...first you remove the wire insulation to the depth indicated on the back of WAGO... 😉
  21. It's available from various places but why? https://quickbit.co.uk/16mm-5-core-swa-cable-per-metre/ Better to run 4-core 16mm² and a separate CPC (earth) if exporting but again why, just rod the outbuilding. Whatever, run it in a duct.
  22. Just squeeze it straight with a pair of pliers.

    Bangs !!!

    uPVC guttering, soffits and fascias are notorious for creaking... ?
  24. I've got to dig a 24m trench at the moment. Mulling buying a Chinese digger.
  25. What about... https://www.maxam.co.uk/maintain-your-property/seek-n-seal/
