I've only had one beer so...The Ferrex multitool splits easy enough to expose the battery connections to tap off of:Pic of the pcb out of interest:

A brief read here suggests you can get asset plans from one of their providers: https://www.scottishwater.co.uk/en/Business-and-Developers/Connecting-to-Our-Network/Pre-Development-Information/Asset-Plans £33 did I see?

Being honest.....it's a bit long! Unwieldy?It does stand up on it's own though:Not sure if I'll get it wired up tonight though. Call of the mild, beer o'clock etc...

I found a random spring and 4 screws. Seems like it might work. White probably not the best colour, it'll attract dirt like a DeWalt! This is PLA btw. Got some grey ABS now to try as well. You're supposed to cannibalize a Ferrex battery to get female connectors as I think I've mentioned but I'll likely just Stanley out where the 5 slots are and take two chunky wires soldered to the Ferrex tool.

I went into this knowing nothing other than I wanted a rainfall head as well as a handset riser. The mitred corner with the handset riser came later as did the decision to go no tray. The intent has always been to put a screen or pair of folding doors on the vertical mosaic strips that are strong points if it becomes an issue. The Union Jack tiled area is 1.3 x 1.3m, the first bits of pink tape. The reality is the water splashes a bit another tile over so to about 1.7m - the second bit of pink tape. To be safe 2m x 2m would be a good area in my opinion. So the seat of the wc gets a few splashes. After a shower we'll just kick the towel around the floor. We like it and it's manageable, all the time that is we're able to bend after our shower and squeegee the floor that is!

My bathroom floor was very out of level , cracked and broken which is primarily why I dug it up. The bathroom was a poor extension on the original property with window and door positions changed and blocked up over the years. Even had render over wallpapered walls! The basic cavity walls of the extension are generally ok if a bit rubble filled. The ceiling joists thus ceiling sloped by around 6" to get the fall on what was originally a flat roof (since brought in under a hip). Plus it was out of square. There was always a bit of a "ramp" through the door into the bathroom through the original doorway in the circa 350 - 400mm solid walls. It was only when I knocked a new doorway thru (actually this was the very original doorway) that I found the bathroom floor, at worst was 60mm higher than the adjacent, original rooms. There was no turning back after that so I started digging! Insulation AND UFH was a no brainer. I think someone on here calculated I shifted about 7 tonne by hand.

No.1 son was stationed on the stairs to relay "when" to SWMBO downstairs as she's a bit deaf and I was fed up shouting myself hoarse. We had the cloak wc as backup should the triple whammy approach have been necessary!

Son re did the bit that goes onto the Ferrex tool but "right" side up. Much better. Cut down on the supports underneath to speed things up which might have been a mistake as it's a bit stringy and rough here and there but then you won't see this area. (White PLA really is crap to photograph): (Broke a little bit off one of the slot edges when clipping to the tool as I misaligned it). As I've no intention of ever buying a Ferrex charger or battery, the plan is to drill through the tangs in the tool base and solder heavy duty wires on. Lad is just printing the Makita battery connector for me. Can't help thinking this would be better in ABS. Going to buy some ABS Pro I think.

??? There were moments when I didn't think it was going to go though! SWMBO fed the whole 6m of the snake through the blockage to start with, think she should have stopped when she hit the "wall" and started rotating then. Tbh there wasn't that much resistance. Anyway, nothing happening so I got the cordless on it. Still nothing. Think in the process I've killed this brand new Silverline snake only delivered this evening. (That's a strip down I'm not looking forward to). Put the other half litre of the cleaner down and still nothing. I was hand rodding like a good 'un and nothing was moving. Poured a couple of buckets of hot with bleach down and still nowt. I remembered school physics lessons with the vacuum pumps that ran off of the bench taps. So with me in the upstairs ensuite, No1 son on the stairs and SWMBO in the main downstairs bathroom we went for a synchronised flush. OMFG! Things started vibrating in the loft as the turd slug started shifting, the AAV was clattering like a demented Kango. Then the whoosh we'd been longing for and the sound of sweet running water down the pipe. Celebrating with some crumpets and a pint of Levy. Thanks to all who chipped in as ever.

Vertical black stack outside is empty as in it "tapped" hollow. You can anyway feel its empty just by wobbling it. I removed the screw on cap and the push fit plug. Clean as a whistle and I could see right along the horizontal waste to the downstairs bathroom wc. Now the weird bit: Up in the loft I started tap, tapping on the pipe with an off cut of 15mm copper. It sounds hollow from where it exits at the eaves back to about halfway along the horizontal pipe. From the half way point back to the two grey branch arrangement sounds solid and "full". I put a straight edge on the pipe and there's maybe a very slight dip in the middle. I meant to but never finished, cut ever decreasing height supports thus theres only one like this cut and glued to a ceiling joist: 500ml of that cleaner @jamiehamysuggested but I think the blockage is too far down. Just awaiting Amazon for the drilly, twisty unblocker thing.

Just been using that to try and unblock the loo here.

A lightweight distro on CD wouldn't read / install quicker? Puppy is circa 200MB. Tiny Core is 15MB

I swear you lot just want to see me covered in No2! ?

I like that idea, a bit worried though the extra weight might push out that fitting or cap on the lower branch. Plus if it doesn't "go", I've got more water in there to wait for it to shift.
