Masquerading as one of your HMOs? Is there a BuildHub discount?

What does the window look out into, a light well, the captives exercise yard, where the dodgy crane is going etc?

No more attention once this is over. If he was a bird he'd be a prick tease getting all the boys at it! ?

Not a box as such, they are just covers/edging with a door that frames an opening into a cavity. Something like this. You'll still need a bracket or stud in there to mount your DIN rail, then your psu etc. Needs to be kept clear of insulation too:

It is probably not want you want at all but you can get access panels like this: https://www.screwfix.com/p/manthorpe-access-panel-white-243-x-193-x-16mm/20924? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Manthorpe-GL100-Plastic-Access-Inspection/dp/B00TYNQTPY/ref=sr_1_2? This type is "decoratable": https://www.amazon.co.uk/Secret-Access-Panel-Door-300mm/dp/B00I9ZSDFW None are really invisible per se. Maybe make a feature of it, cover with a picture of your dogs etc! ? You could.....maybe mount a 2 gang faceplate, spray painted black or whatever next to the lock as access to the cavity. Just cut the back out of a dry lining box. Whatever, the connections to that psu need to be secure and it needs to remain accessible.

What Tony's getting at is with the plug in type, you would potentially take the plug-in adapter and cut the plug off on the right hand side. (Whilst it's unplugged!) You would then pare back the end of the black cable by stripping it and exposing the two inner cores. With a test meter you'd next identify the polarity as in which wire is + and which -. Suitably make off the ends by say tinning with solder or putting on some ferrules (neither strictly necessary but good practice). You'd then need to connect to your sensor unit and plug in / switch on. Of course you'd need to hide the cable. That could be in surface trunking at it's simplest/ugliest. Any decent cavities adjacent to the area that you could get power to? Up in the ceiling and down etc? It's all in the planning...or not! ?

Huh? You mean it's not going in a control cabinet of some sort with wires running to the sensor? A photo of the area might assist with any adjacent plug socket etc.

Discovered a word today that I'd not heard before; "twunt". No bearing on this thread, just putting it out there.

Or this, nice and cheap: https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/din-rail-power-supplies/1368308/ You might want a bit of DIN rail to mount it. Shout if need a short length.

You lie! It took less than a page!

At least it'd be warmer than here.

We can only strive to do better and be accepting that we tried our best.

I know a bloke covered something like that up with some old angle iron.

What's the elastic band for?

The grout ain't piss coloured though...

Are they like Coopers of Stortford?

Case in point, I've slept before with a bobble hat on when it's been that cold here. Similarly I've slept with ear plugs in when No.1 son was going through his hear it through walls "F***ING KILL IT DOMINIC!" gaming phase. Mind you I've slept in a trench I've dug myself.....

You can't have it all ways! You're either too cold or too hot...like effin Goldilocks! ? The ideal is that you're not freezing cold when you sleep thus you have it come on periodically through the night if you want to maintain a stable temperature. The greater your heat losses through the fabric the more often it will come on. Cut down on your losses it'll come on less. Alternatively accept it'll be cold throughout the night, and when you get up for piss, chuck on another blanket but have the heat come on a bit before you get up to take the chill off at least. Appreciate you'd like it "quiet" when it does come on.

If your house is that cold at night then you might actually want the heat to come in for a bit surely? The house heats up and it loses heat simple as that. How long it takes to lose it is dictated by the level of insulation, the decrement delay of the structure and the air tightness. In your case piss poor for the most part like my house. If you go to bed and the house is warm, then the heating goes off, it'll likely be bloody cold again before you wake up.

First get a sponsor then skip over telling people how much it cost on the video! ?

Not used it but a few reviews mention sealing felt seams: https://www.screwfix.com/p/geocel-trade-mate-roofers-seal-black-310ml/32561?

Me, heed? ? I made my own screed rails bolted to the walls. Came out as flat as a pancake. The piss poor tiling is down to me, not an uneven floor! Tbf the floor is better than the walls...

If Bob is still trading at Rensa in Walsall try him for louvres etc. Super helpful for one offs. Might have something off the shelf. Really nice guy & not expensive: https://www.ukccm.co.uk/WMCCM/Home.aspx?tabindex=1&tabid=2020

Did I need it? Tiles straight on the A142 reinforced concrete. Too late now...
