Onoff

Doesn't @NSS have solar control glass? Can't think of the name but seem to remember it's mega bucks!

I got rid of old half bags of play pit, building, block paving sand then some off cement, plaster etc when I blinded my sub base. If really worried mix some cement with it. Only place I deffo wouldn't use building sand personally is under a patio externally. I'd use the building sand but mix with the sharp. Rake together a bit then level it off.

Erm...don't thank me yet! ?

I understand the advice from Viessmann is to fit an air seperator to exclude air from the system as in no air no corrosion. Read that somewhere.

Switched all the way unless it's a socket under a worktop switched by a 20A DP switch above. Little sparks can grow into bfo arcs over time presuming your unplugging under load. Unless I guess you can g'tee the "appliance" will only ever be unplugged when it's switched off. As above go switched and DP, safer/easier in the event of a fault.

"The way into my parlour is down a winding stair, And I have many curious things to shew when you are there.” “Oh no, no,” said the little Fly, “to ask me is in vain, For who goes down your winding stair can ne’er come up again.”

No, my tiling!

What's the finish on the staircase? Rope on each end. Stand well back. Just get it near the edge and kick it over the side...bit of carpet over the edge to protect the rope. You can hold back 47.5 kg on your own. Hook one end over the lip lower the other end down. I've done worse/sillier.

Can you slide it in over that wall on the left? Secure the end of the staircase with a winch then see-saw it over the edge. A couple of ropes on the bottom end. You'd need a couple of mates to help though so that's out the window!

Aka wait until it rains...

I had a piece of 8mm chequer plate cut to size and galvanised by my fabricator to replace the broken, obscure sized lid on one of mine. I didn't faff having key hole slots for lifting irons or anything. Just use the edge of a spade.

I think the holes knocked in the bottom of the septic tank help! ?

Might explain my headaches with the sh!t my neighbours burn! ?

I asked a PV guru on another forum: "never seen that one before. Some times the panel clips are marked with a makers name, but even if they are, there was a lot of Chinese and other makes of roof rails on the market during the height of PV installations for which getting spare parts is nigh on impossible now. If you're lucky, you may find someone clearing out spares on eBay. It's easier just to replace the lot with Renusol or Schletter gear".

Well worth trying bicarb / vinegar: https://lentheplumber.com/blog/hairy-situation-three-steps-to-unclogging-your-drain-chemical-free/

Probably because it encompasses a number of little tricks and tips that are DIY 101 to most people who dabble. Most here learnt their skills I imagine well before the internet was a thing. Probably forgotten more than they know. All my mates and I grew up with dads (a novelty in itself nowadays ?) who just "did" DIY.

I occasionally unscrew the handset from our shower hose, (be sure to dig out and put safe the little black rubber washer), then stick the hose down the trap on full whack and at it's hottest setting. The hair trap in our Geberit wall drain can only cope with so much. SWMBO and No.2 daughter moult like Cousin It!

Well I got the steel, just got to think of uses for it...

My Israeli designed, Turkish made, Electra Elecheib induction hob will pulse on certain settings to effect a simmer. Every other setting is full power to all 4 rings. Tbh it's been marvellous. 7.3kw mind.

I'm actually thinking about infilling my gate pillars with flints! It might even start tomorrow! More questions I'm mulling, any input appreciated: - A 5:1:1/2 sand/cement/hydrated lime (as the bag above) mix is the plan - What sand, ordinary "orange" builder's sand? At least that might match the brick pillar mortar joints. Reading back on the thread there's talk of silver sand...not sure I'll get it in Wickes. - Plan is to do a couple of mixes and see what colour it dries. Say a soft sand mix and whatever "white" sand I can get tomorrow morning. - Thinking to mix in a bucket with the Aldi paddle mixer? - Is the aim to fill the depth of the recess with as much flint, front to back, or can I "get away with" a thin piece of flint with lots of mortar behind? Thinking the mortar should really encapsulate the flint rather relying on trying to stick the flint to the mortar. I'm thinking thin slivers might detach and fall out more easily? - I've still not mastered knapping! ? - Undecided on a stainless trim around each panel. Saying all that I've to first make a stainless surround for the video intercom that'll be inset and also to resin in stainless studs to mount the coach lanterns.

Use stainless steel nails?

Wood hardener? You can get it in blue pill form too... ?

How about a draught excluder let into the plant ons? Really awkward to see but you can get plastic channels you inset into a groove and draught excluder strip slides in. (My pocket door). I can't seem to find any links on the net.....not sure where I scored it from.....

I read that as a double prayer seat? If you're putting something wood in there then I'd either have it freestanding or if it's going tight against the walls make sure there's s damp proof membrane on the wooden edges and put some vents in any enclosed spaces you may construct. From here that door/frame looks bloody good. I'd maybe go with a decent , breathable, exterior wood stain to uniform the colour all over a bit.
