I'll pop over and ask, just down the road from me.

Cordless drill and a bit of studding? ?

Pick a wall, bit of faux bois with a brush and some hooks, job done.

It'll likely be plastic coated steel for the frame. The balls plastic or maybe painted wood. That could look quite nice (imho) in stainless steel with black knobs.

I think hooks on a base plate are a good idea so the clothes hood or whatever doesn't scuff your paint etc. Seriously though is there perhaps any feature in the room you'd perhaps like to match? You could enhance standard hooks with a bespoke backplate for instance.

I could print you some of these with the hook lower down...

Only just looked at this build. Thing Tom Sharpe wrote a book about it... Best solution would be a MOAB.

Just bfo gates!

I've heard good and bad about chiropractors. I was lucky and the guy is a magician!

He said typing on an iPhone... ?

Bought our Electra Elecheib (that well known, designed in Israel, made in Turkey) induction hob in Sept 2012 (yes I fitted it then ?). Given stirling service ever since. SWMBO unfortunately uses it daily...

Bungaroosh mate. Bet you've seen more than you're fair share, nose to the wall in Brighton etc... ?

Still undecided as I am on mix I knocked up a quick frame of pallet wood, divided into 4 to represent the 4 flint panels. Dumped some sharp sand in each. Apparently I get to choose the stones for one then SWMBO and the kids one each. This is my attempt (the rectangular gap at the end nearest the camera is where the intercom sits). I might change the couple of whiter stones for blacker ones. I've read that "fist size" are ideal but without knapping them this is the best I can do. If I start knapping I'll likely end up with just loads of broken flints! Playing with the second panel: Some don't have a tail / much depth so I'll be relying on the suction of whatever mortar then CT1 when bits fall out!

Got similar fitted to the old ensuite tray. Rearrange the words: like sieve leaks a The fact that to make it work you'd have to load it with CT1 anyway just do away with it and bring the tiles down onto the tray I would.

Stainless steel "wool" pan scourers from Wilko for example. Jam in and foam in place. In my experience everything from birds to social bees and wasps will have a go at the foam potentially, I've seen it here multiple times. They just seem to sense a nice habitable cavity behind. Best is to then render over the foam.

I'm all for reinventing the wheel believe me but I did wonder why you didn't go for plastic eaves trays in the first place. If you read the instructions on some of the modern, breathable felts it specifically says about fitting 1/4" thick or so strips along the line of the trusses so the subsequent battens sit up off the felt and allow free drainage.

Ahem...I tend to visit the IoW once a year and have a roof rack...what's the plan for the ST panels once removed? ? Could bring my lad and maybe finally get him a flight with Butterfly Dave!

Presume you'll be getting a new telly? Won't that one on the wall be full of dust and soot?

@Stewpot as I understand it, with the hydrated lime I have here then that's calcium hydroxide. It will, over time turn back into calcium carbonate aka limestone?

Here's a mad thought... Time and techniques have moved ever onward. The issue with using normal cement mortar is one of shrinkage around the flints, frost action and cracking. Could I perhaps lay them in the same 4:1 mortar mix I used for the pillars then when cured just spray them with a water seal like Thompsons or Permagard?

I have seen that before thanks. It would mean changing to natural hydraulic lime and binning the hydrated I have here. I see Lawsons builders merchants near me do it. Certainly not cheap down this way! https://www.lawsons.co.uk/search?q=Hydraulic lime I'm shortly going to knock up a test of: 4 sharp 2 soft (orange builders) 1 lime (hydrated) 1 opc ...and see what that looks like. I am concerned I won't be able to get the demarcation between brickwork and flint panels neat hence back to thinking about a trim.

I quite like the complexity of this mix suggested on another forum: "When doing flint work I use 4 sharp sand, 2 soft washed(building sand), 1 lime and 1 white cement".

Dunno, back to the potential shrinkage/frost pocket worry. So many options. Got myself in a bit of a pickle, a... ...you might say!

Tack some 50x6 ply strips over that bottom OSB up the line of the trusses? If that OSB is just to hide the battens/felt, then cut pieces that sit between the truss ends rather than on them? You'd need a little batten either side flush with the truss tops then screw the infill up to them. Overall though I'd agree, OSB the lot and counterbatten. I'm in the SE too btw. Has other benefits, felt sag allows vermin in. Ask me how I know! ?
