The unit should cope with the normal variations on the 230V supply. Any abnormal variation isn't down to the unit but the incoming supply itself. They're likely all similar brand to brand.

Check out @lizzie's install photos of recessed, plastered in LED strip on these two pages:

I wonder if theres any recourse back to the electricity supplier? They have statutory obligations under the ESQCR 2002 (Electricity Supply Quality Continuity Regulations).

Or something here? https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/PVC-Soft-Rubber-Shower-Seal-Fits-Track-Channel-Bifold-Folding-Glass-Door-/281295881657?

This? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Flexible-Shower-Seal-Folding-Channel/dp/B07BGBY7PQ/ref=asc_df_B07BGBY7PQ/?

That'd be on a Kindle then would it?

Fair enough, the ones that are though? With more brown outs expected in the UK etc. I'm telling you it's all a Chinese ploy to sell more units, first take over the utilities, then engineer power disruptions! ? Edit: Sorry, read MVHR as ASHP for some bizarre reason. I meant MVHR.

Should you lot with ASHPs not be considering fitting SPDs (surge protection devices) from the off to protect all that delicate, expensive electronic gubbins? What's is going to cost, £70? Hager Guide to Surge Protection.pdf I've a couple of dead fax machines here that suggest I should! ?

Basicslly DG fitters of old were on a price so it was bish, bash, bosh as quick as. Surveyors would under measure so the window fell in with no drama. Fitters just covered the huge gaps with trim. No foam or Compriband. (Check out White Gold on Netflix ? ). Have a look at what I did wrt my bathroom DG window. Nov 9 onwards. Miles better than it was but I wish I had removed the window and brought it further in. No draught now but the air space can still feel cold near the window.

This is a good tool if ever you're in Lidl: http://offers.kd2.org/en/mt/lidl/peGjj/ It'll take standard tubes as well as grout. Using mine recently for pointing with 4:1 mortar. All the parts are interchangeable with the Roughneck mortar gun from TS. Same factory clearly just the TS aluminium body is longer.

Router with dust extraction. Make a jig too.

1 - I hate cutting celotex, the dust goes every where and it would have to be done outside this time around because the house is not occupied. Surely if the house isn't occupied that's better for cutting it inside?

Erm...a lot of it isn't a case of should you do something but can you do something just for the technical challenge and satisfaction.

I'll be ripping the joists out in my lounge /diner and building back up to finish at a 100mm slab. The dining room is a suspended timber floor. The lounge is some mish mash make up of a concrete slab with joists on top. More digging! I think @oranjeboom dug his whole ground floor down deeper.

@Jeremy Harris could probably tell you the heat loss % to ground for different materials. It can be quite sobering and an education.

50mm will "work" but you'll just suffer more heat loss through the floor. I've 150mm of pir on top of 25mm eps. Some have 300mm of eps!

Going to re title the thread "rust removal" as it's getting away from electrolysis now. It's cold out there, frost on the car one morning but I'm really pleased with the results so far for minimal effort of 9kg of citric acid in a bath full of water! No heating etc since the initial 3 hot buckets. I will take the jet wash to it one night to hopefully deal with any stubborn paint:

The vids I've watch they cast the slab upside down in a shallow box with smooth faces. All internal corners are caulked to give radiussed edges. Mesh laid in halfway thru the pour.

+1 Did similar with the wet room corner mix. 10mm pea shingle and heavy on the sbr PLUS added fibres.

In my mates T&Cs he actually wrote "remove all materials deleterious or superfluous to the fix". My firm supplied him as our subbie with bespoke steel parts and fixings usually with a 10% contingency. He'd take all the leftovers off site and store in his container. Next job came along where we had forgotten to supply something he likely had it in his container. Saved him time coming back to us through official routes. Not saying that other deleterious and superfluous stuff accidentally made it's way off site on occasion...

G'teed someone would have taken that pir off your hands if you'd have advertised on Freecycle etc.

I think @jamiehamy & @Tennentslager both used EDPM for their complete roofs without issue. Check out their posts.

It's not your regular mix for this. Something like: https://concretelab.co.uk/products/gfrc-concrete-worktop-premix-kit

Thanks. I should add that his set up is more like in the photo below where the white line is the wall with the stub of the existing waste projecting: He's a bit of an, "everything's against me / I've had a Hell of a time / I've had to buy more bits" panicker tbh. I'm about to give him these bits as they're already cut and ready to go. OK to go with this rather than x2 45s?
