Seriously though.....I have a similar area to dig in what we call our "stairs" room i.e where the stairs are. Ideally I'd like to dig up under the stairs too but am worried as to how I'd support/suspend the stairs when I do it. Only thing I can think of is temporarily, literally suspend them from the ceiling joists above.

Wuss! Morning's work with a blunt spade! ?

Get digging! A real sense of achievement and cheaper that gym membership! ? I've only 150mm pir +25mm eps under mine. Tbh, at the time I'd just had enough digging. Knowing what I know now I'd have dug deeper and put more insulation in. Got there in the end though! The next 4 rooms and hall shouldn't be so bad as suspended floors of different depths. Maybe no digging at all in 2 and the hall, just remove the joists and dwarf walls and build back up!

I wonder if there's any significance they are still using Nicads on the ISS?

So begins the Makita battery to (Aldi) Ferrex tool adapter! (PLA, 25% fill).

Grohe; similar install dimns:

145mm from back of pipe to front of frame with an 8cm Geberit: https://catalog.geberit.co.uk/en-GB/Geberit-Duofix-frame-for-wall-hung-WC,-114-cm,-with-Sigma-concealed-cistern-8-cm/PRO_168879-111.799.00.1.html

Hang on...I've been reading elsewhere: "Dewalt and Makita have the BMS/LV cut off in the tool. Ryobi, Ridgid, Milwaukee all have a basic BMS in the battery. Makita batteries marked with a * (star) or yellow marking have over-heating and over-discharge protection. The non-star ones do not".

How about a turned trap pan? Link picked at random: https://www.replacementbathroom.co.uk/turned-trap-low-level-wc-toilet-pan-white-1192-p.asp

Fair enough. No discharge protection there then!

AC50?

Could the fan be swapped out for a more modern, quieter design? A very brief read here I think suggests a (slight?) increase in drawn power whilst retaining the same airflow. https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/avoiding-acoustic-noise-from-the-electric-motor.415377/ Guessing the shaft / key will be imperial. On those lines I assume you've had the fan cover off and looked for blade damage or it being loose? Ditto clean out the accumulated, compacted dust & fluff. Check the mesh grilles too in case they're vibrating. A chance that changing the bearings for top quality ones might help. If you rotate the shaft manually how does it feel/sound? I've just changed a 24/7 run, fuel store fan's bearings for noise/vibration issues as I might have said earlier. Midland bearings are good. "You can have top quality for £40, Japanese for £20 or Chinese for £6". ? Needless to say the 3 Chinese ones in my kid's Jeep are still going strong alongside their posh (darker blue) sibling!

I've one room done in 22mm, 400 centres and affixed with Spax screws. 4 other rooms in 18mm at 400 ctrs and affixed with angular rings. Not a peep from the 22mm room. Feels like a solid floor tbh.

Interesting, this seller is producing LED worklights adapted to fit a number of different makes of Li-ion battery: https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/ces2802/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=

Rightly so, he has a dungeon!

Anyway of testing whether the Nm is up near where stated? Maybe on a torque wrench? I can do so easily if I get one as all my kit is calibrated.

Got a link? Did that include p&p? Will it take a smaller 1/4" bit in the end of the 1/2" drive? Cheers

Mine won't work on all pallets especially like some of the close boarded ones. It's meant really just to go over the 2" width where the cross bearers are say 3 or 4x2. This type has merit: https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/roughneck-64-644-pallet-buster/? Should work on all types for instance even where the bearers, second layer down are 4x1 width ways. Note though mine articulates and the angle irons spread the load so you lift two nails at once so less chance of splitting the wood. I'll make a universal one one day with quick release pins!

& so can you:

You have a pm.

I made one of these: Fag packet sketch I did is on here somewhere.

Pallets on the ground are just inviting vermin imo. The one I did with my nephew a while back: Concrete base, sole plate to match pallet width: You can see here how the width of the pallet matches the width of the sole plate (bottom left): Using the same size pallets helps but isn't essential. Pallets can be shortened and modded such as for the door way: You just butt them up and screw through. Blocks of scrap timber dropped in between the pallet get screwed from the side and down from the top into the sole plate. Same at the top of the pallet wall for a wall plate. Cladding was waste from a lumber mill:

Would a chain or belt driven, contra rotating fan, slaved off the main motor shaft and obviously on the same axis work as a noise cancelling system? A brief Google found this: https://www.hindawi.com/journals/mpe/2018/3739067/

Our stainless sink is made by Bacofoil from one of the diy sheds ?. Not only does it sound like Rolf Harris's wobble board but it stains easily too. Told SWMBO we should buy a Franke one but I was overruled.

The light you wish to switch...is it fitted already, currently switched some other way etc? Could you "break into" a feed line by fitting another light (or dummy vent etc) thus creating an access aperture to poke the receiver in?
