Don’t pay your trades up till they have finished

Floors first. Then tile down to the floor with a 1mm gap. No dirty, bottom grout line etc. A old Welsh boy taught me that trick. -

You know me so well! ?

My lads bedroom has a door into the eaves. It was once a plan to do the doorway as the TARDIS and create a sci-fi themed den. Could have, would have should have... ?

Welcome. Great attitude to have a go at everything. It's about the journey not the destination! Keeps the old grey matter ticking.
-
It's a lot bigger on the inside.

Seller is an arse. A promise is exactly that. I'd arranged my weekend around going to get it. Hopefully he dies a painful death when the door falls on him in tomorrow's gales. Karma.

Tbf, to date, I've only had good experiences buying.

Well that little exchange with a seller on Gumtree has really knocked my faith in the site and people having common decency! Agreed to collect a door from the seller Sunday afternoon. I was actually going to make a +200 mile round trip as it was the exact size I needed. Gave him my phone number etc. Received a message tonight: "Just to let you know Door is now been sold Sorry" I messaged back that I thought we had a gentleman's agreement and that I wasn't impressed. "I've been let down before by people promising to turn up So whether yr impressed or not it's sold" I know how Gordon the Gopher is feeling tonight.

I've moved 18T about the same size but twice the length as the container on floor skates. Mind that was on a glass smooth warehouse floor..... (It only fell off once... ?)

If I buy a s/hand upvc, 2 panel door that needs a piece of glass for the top panel, how much smaller than the opening do I order the new piece? Cheers.

Is it a Septic Tank or just an old Cesspit?

Sounds like mine. Pics of the inside on page 3: -

The original thread had Photobucket pics in so no use now. I'll redo it sometime. Meanwhile here's the gist: https://forum.buildhub.org.uk/topic/9640-electricians-insulator-stripping-tool/page/2/?tab=comments#comment-164203

Down here was once known as Bidonville with good reason. Pretty much every dwelling was a shack. It was the done thing to put down a layer of crushed, broken glass pre any floor slab to discourage rats.

Powerline WiFi options?
Onoff replied to Jeremy Harris's topic in Networks, AV, Security & Automation
There are a few apps like Wifi Signal Strength Monitor you can get for your Android device. -
Muddy the waters is probably about right! ? Arguably on a TT you'll have done all you possibly can by fitting a 100mA td rcd upstream (& DP 30mA rcbos downstream). What alternative is there? Imo always try and fit all the RCDs of the same make so you can take it up with the supplier/maker. Makes it easier to get a replacement to swap out.
-
100%. The 100mA needs to be time delayed to counter this.
-
RCD trip times can and do vary due to the mechanical mechanism. They can get stiff / gum up. It's why they should be regularly excercised by pushing the test button.
-
Why is everything on eBay, Gumtree etc, up North, so much cheaper than down here in the South? Looking at 2nd hand upvc doors. Tredegar, Barnsley, £50 - 60. Down here triple it minimum! ?
