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. For example: https://www.printables.com/model/529829-17-mm-steckschlussel-mit-antrieb-fur-eine-14-ratsc https://makerworld.com/en/models/45841#profileId-47643

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!" 😂

If you cut that flush it'll leave a hole with a potentially sharp edge. You do not want a fox, small dog etc putting it's paw down it and breaking it's leg. It needs filling properly afterwards.

Just don't online gamble! https://news.sky.com/story/money-consumer-personal-finance-latest-13040934 No problem if you take cash out and drink to excess, smoke, give it to your dealer though! 😄

Did you manage to just get a short bit in the end?

Look at the photos throughout this thread. "Bracing" is generally achieved by the little diagonals at the top. Either let in to the horizontal / vertical members with a joint detail (mortice & tenon, through housing etc) and / or screwed / bolted through. I'd use dog tooth washers btw if "clamping" braces on.

They're these: Hilarious that the LAP instructions say to use rubber grommets. LAP btw are a Kingfisher (they own Screwfix), own brand.

I've never fitted grommets to that type. Just knock out and file down any sharp edges.

Filling up nicely with beech nuts about now I guess? 😂 Did you char the cladding yourself, looks lovely. Folk here will be able to advise on DIY air tests ref the passivhaus bit.

Best best is a light going over with a cup brush in a grinder. The vacuum and vacuum again.

Apparently Springfield had a better ring to it than Concrete.

So a typical evening for you then?
