You'd have been better wrapping in Denso tape than painting it! Drilling the hole at a slight angle helps prevent water ingress. Sleeving properly helps prevent against say gas ingress from the cavity and so on. My old man used to work for British Gas and was always banging on about it. I managed btw to drill the 3 holes in brass back plate without breaking any brickwork out. The holes are nice and in line. 3 small Rawlplugs and stainless screws. 20 odd turns of PTFE tape and wind in until vertical, DO NOT TURN BACK! It gets real tight but it just works. @Nickfromwales know best!

10 downlights? You'll hit the problem I did, a lovely vcl punctured to Hell with holes. With hindsight I'd have counter battened the ceiling and use slimline LED fittings. Initially I left cutouts in my PIR: I cut and filled these voids with pir intending to simply lift out from above. A vcl went over the top then moisture resistant plasterboard: At this stage, a nice airtight ceiling detail, I should have counter battened and put another layer of mrpb on. (Leave btw some (known) gaps in the battens to allow for cable push rods should you decide on more lights later). I'd however foil taped the underside of the pir insert pieces and I had to pull up the pir. That left the foil in place ? So I made a template using the downlight hole as a reference and cut down through the foil and vcl. I'm using Thermahoods, aka posh flower pots. I'll end up with a detail like this. I've to seal the edge of the hood down, insulate (foam fill) around the whole lot and over the top. Then to airtight seal the cable entries from above as well as vermin proofing it all. Sound complicated? Too right! All this could have been avoided!

Air in the rads? ?

If you cant beet them...

A pic from way back when I ran the pipe:

FFS she clears a space then fills it up!!! Not that I'm any nearer to digging but that red bit of tape on the floor is over the single pipe CH pipe that crosses the stairs room: If I leave the floor under the bottom landing in situ, I'll need to be bloody careful. A 9" grinder with diamond disc would be good I reckon, but for the mess I could do an L shaped cut and not disturb the bit under the landing. Kango'ing I reckon would just mean that bit under the stairs disintegrates.

Surely you've seen Misery and what happened to James Caan?

A couple of mm apparently. DGAF anymore. Putting him on ignore.

It doesn't 'effin matter! I'd have held the door with the hinges fitted, up against the jams and marked the top and bottom of the hinge where it sits against the jam OR architrave with the point of a sharp pencil. Then used a square to project those lines onto the jam face. You sanded the door destroying the ONE straight edge you had. TWAT. You made your bed etc. Sort it out on your own.

3 days I walked around "carrying" that radiator key to marinate and bloody uncomfortable it was too! Getting it out brought tears to my eyes I can tell you!

No, it's really not. 10,000 words of undecipherable gobbledygook when a quick sketch or picture would help everyone is the norm. Have you ever stopped to think that's it's only your threads that descend into these sorts of exchanges. That marks you out as the issue.

I fitted the same here: @Nickfromwales said: Put about 25-28 turns of ptfe and turn it into the socket until snug and vertical. End of job. Don't overshoot and back turn it or you'll fack it up

There's enough dumbing down of the English language already. Slang and text speak dilutes who we are, or at least who I want to be. You should take pride in your posting and even correct any spelling mistakes when you can. Just my humble opinion. I mean seriously, your phone didn't do this. It's punctuation but not of this planet: "So innevitably -I- get annoyed at -your-"

Some people have a death wish...

Looks like it's just a screw on "shield".

Hopefully mine will be correct as I've ordered the red one! ?

Just ordered one of these for £23:

On the flat roof why not ballast trays? That's my plan but I'm not sure how they'll sit on a Desmopol type "painted on membrane" roof which is what I'm thinking about.

Your diction, grammar and weird shorthand makes your posts difficult to read and annoys the f*** out of me! ? You really should get with the proper technical terms once you know them or you'll come across as a Muppet forever. I'm not the Spelling Police but it brings the site down imo. I read "looong rad" and think "C***, not again!". Go and measure your rads and take a stab at the BTU. Or take a photo of each (showing single, double, fins etc) and post with the size and we'll do it.

Would you consider angled slots so as not to accumulate dust? Saying that I imagine you have MVHR so not a worry?

If nothing else it shows we should all strive to be better people, embrace different and and above all not mock the afflicted. MR. BIG NOSE: I wasn't going to pick my nose. I was going to thump him! MAN #2: You hear that? Blessed are the cabinet makers.

I got all excited when SWMBO cleared a corner of the stairs room. I thought she'd carry on with the other corner and under the stairs. Alas this corner is apparently for my lad's 3D printer to live. There was me thinking I'd have an empty room and could dig the floor up tomorrow!

I heard they'd all broken Lockdown to travel to a top secret location. Top of the agenda is how to separate an ASHP from a cottage door. Seems there was a transporter accident in a parallel universe and the two got mixed up.
