Onoff

I don't think decking would be any good as a driveway surface.

Believe it or not it all works, like via a remote key fob! Of course there's peripheral bits to finish off... Need to come up with a plan for doing the sloping bit of the drive now. How deep a sub base, sub base of what, how to edge by the road, sleepers on edge up the sides maybe? Then block pave, concrete, tarmac etc etc?

Would these give more length? https://www.screwfix.com/p/tesla-brass-compression-adapting-flexible-tap-connectors-15mm-x-1-2-2-pack/2665r

One was the dead spit of you funnily enough...

Let's be honest the bloke was lucky to get out. Probably said he'd forgotten the fan when he was shown into the red room.

Didn't he realise you do only fans?

The mortar collar in your second picture was a very common method. Looking closer at your first picture it appears there's some small bits of stone / aggregate left and the rest has broken away? If you don't want to remove / re-do, then if that's just mortar at the bottom I'd vacuum /scrub/clean it as best as and re-mortar any gaps after wetting with SBR. Then I'd paint with this, maybe even form a little brim at the bottom with tightly wrapped dpc and pour in so it self levels which is one of it's properties. More flexible than a mortar collar I'd reckon. https://www.wickes.co.uk/Gorilla-Black-Waterproof-Coat+Seal---473ml/p/263581

Your correct I think but I've no idea what that existing, leaky "adapter" is that connects the grey 110mm to the clay elbow. Have you a Vernier caliper to give some ideas of diameter? I wonder if this "4VFC2P" would work, as in get rid of the old adapter then fit this with a good slug of CT1 or similar: https://www.drainfast.co.uk/products/underground/drainage/110mm/4110mm-dsocket-clay-plastic-adaptor

A squirt of penetrating oil I'm sure would help whatever, a few days before unscrewing.

Is is external? I had to deal with this. A nice bathroom with new tiles sat straight on top of an old clay elbow: I made a ply template first to drill and neaten the ragged hole in the tile and substrate: Then used a Floplast, finned adapter Screwfix stock number 15330 I think) that went down inside the clay pipe. Found it better oddly that a McAlpine one. Principle is the same for yours. You just need the 110m to finned adapter: I finished off with a really neat bead of BT1 after the last picture. That and actually screwed the pan down properly! For yours maybe this: https://www.wickes.co.uk/FloPlast-110mm-Black-Universal-Pipe-Connector/p/158824

Quite happy to print you one and post it to try. How long would you like it? How do you want to turn it, via a ratchet or bigger spanner / adjustable etc? Any restriction on the overall "socket" diameter? A thicker wall makes it stronger.

Knauf Aqua Panel says to use a specific gun adhesive between boards...

3D print a long 17mm socket.

Well his horse certainly wishes he'd never looked in the tent!

Overflow pipe...

Put some vaseline over the key slots, you got any?

Save for round the walk on glazing?

You don't have to use gun injected resin. Might be awkward getting the nozzle down (and bending it) through that 6cm gap. There's options. Drill a hole through the joist, into the wall. Clean out the hole with a puffer. Push in glass resin capsules or the newer, "ketchup sachet" type. Whizz a piece of studding in with a drill. That breaks the glass & mixes the resin or chews up & mixes the sachet. I didn't realise it was 3 ducts. Think I'd ask an SE ref plate thickness, bolt size and spacing etc.

That's why I was suggesting nuts and bolts. You'll fit the nuts and washers down the 6cm gap.

I'd put a 7" deep steel plate either side of the joist. Nuts and bolts to attach to the joist. Big hole for the duct in each plate. Use a bfo hole saw in the plate hole as a guide to go through the joist. Could resin anchor into the adjacent wall as well.

Yep, ignore the small stuff and it escalates.

I live next to a 33 hectare, ex golf course. Been taken over by a wildlife trust and they are "re-wilding". Various cattle breeds on there at the moment including longhorns. There's talk of iron age pigs in the future. It's been well fenced with galvanised kissing gates. I don't think you'd get a wheelchair or mobility scooter through them. Tbh, nor should it be a requirement. It could be very dangerous. Plus there are no real paths. You are allowed to walk over the area, with dogs on a lead. There's a few small timber fence sections based on telegraph pole diameter wooden posts. Hasn't stopped the lowlifes, often en mass turning up, breaking the fences down and tearing the place up on dirt bikes, quads and 4x4s. The police are generally simply not interested and or haven't the resources. A couple of them were rocking up and revving up next to the closest house. Just long enough to let the house owner phone the police. Then they'd race off before the police got there. In the village next to me kids race around on little 2-strokes with no number plates, helmets etc. often 2 or 3 up on the bike. They go to the shops etc then tear through the estate. Police presence? 😂 A mate has a footpath across his land. Caught two lads on dirt bikes and had words. They were most indignant at his attitude saying "But mate, they're electric!"

You might find, if you could get a bfo pair of Stilsons on those uprights, they might twist right out. You could try with everything in place. All the fittings should loosen with an Allen key tapped with a hammer. Maybe a squirt of WD40 esque stuff on the grub screws a couple of days before. Maybe have a wheelchair bound or otherwise disabled friend there, a copy of your correspondence & the relevant paperwork showing the install is illegal / discriminatory and someone to film it. When it's nice and accessible to all the little scrotes on their dirt bikes and the police simply aren't interested, you can think "I did that!" 😂
