Onoff

I need to resurrect this idea. Got down to 16 in the bathroom the other day. This is just now (yes I still need to touch the ceiling up where I fitted the fan): Is there no way of having a buffer tank with expansion tank that doesn't need an annual G3 inspection?

@vfrdave, it's in the 1st class post this morning so you should get it tomorrow. Let's hope it works! Protect your floor before you try this. Drop of lube I would on the spindle. Tbh I'd probably go one or two drops of 3 in 1or similar but no more, above all avoid staining your tiles. Not sure if these will drill dry? I've only ever used them to drill bricks and kept them cool/lubed with water from a plant sprayer. In your case maybe take off and dip in water occasionally. Guess you'll want to avoid water behind the tiles...

1350mm wet room former instead of a tray? Only 850 the other way though... https://www.tradewetrooms.com/tough-x-1350x850x22mm-wetroom-shower-tray/#wetrooom-drain

I remember nearly 40 years ago being prompted to "just jump down" onto a lower roof whilst doing a survey as a 16 year apprentice. The bloke with me knew they were doing a flood test on the roof, I didn't and it was as still as a mill pond.....

Wasn't that the couple where he was German and they had a German system and their installers come over to fit it?

Epic project this. All bought?

The Extradition Act 2003? ?

Could you water jet in such a way as retain the natural finish on the outside? Flamed granite is a rougher finish, v.nice imo but obviously another process after cutting.

Is there any mileage in investigating on site water jet cutting? Hugely slow I imagine though...

Bragging rights? ? You'll need the £600 flush plate to go with it.

A few on here have them. @JSHarris for a start, @Barney12 also I think. Some pics of Jeremy's panels in this thread for instance.

For example: INS045-13_(Veritas_R8+_Install).pdf Pick the model you want then we'll see if we can get the diagram so you can have a think / plan.

Random pic off the web. Note how the black, tapered washer fits. The red fibre washer compresses the black one without turning it. Hand tight only as above:

Only been there the once but I'd have to live further south in Australia. Like in New Zealand!

Bloody Hell that's a steal! I'd not looked at the actual links before. So the Tx can run off say a 9V battery as it's 5-12vdc? Turn it on with the NC contacts in the relay when mains is lost and it'll start transmitting. The house end...a 12V wall wart to power it? The pcb relay powering something this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2PCS-SFM-27-DC-3-24V-90DB-Intermittent-Beep-Alarm-Electronic-Buzzer-Sounder-FJ/143366277288?epid=0&hash=item21614bc8a8:g:GNUAAOSwSwNbTblp All very cheap and doable at this rate.

I've drilled it out to 10.2mm (M12 tapping drill). It's a tad off centric but spins nice on a 10mm drill as the video clip shows: Video: Will try and get in the post Monday.

Would you be better user thicker OSB vertically to take both your fascia and 25mm battens? Is the gap between the vertical 130mm pir and the roof 150mm pir, filled in the sketch by 12.5mm osb, not a cold bridge? Nice detailing imo aside from the questions. I might nick it for my garden room / dormer redo if it gets the OK here! ?

If you want to get technical there is a hose to Speedfit type connector: https://www.travisperkins.co.uk/push-fit-fittings/jg-speedfit-hose-connector-15mm-x-12inch/p/853987 Honestly I've used the copper pipe/jubilee trick on loads of repairs to extend 1/2" garden hoses. You can also dip the hose in boiling water to soften it. I'd say freezing up might be your biggest problem?

It was a banger in a Corana bottle when I was a kid. Boy did we get a sweat on trying to screw the lid on quick!

I'd cast a little base and job done. Build a Tardis sized enclosure from pallets etc. (Turdis?). You can go from garden hose to 15mm copper temporarily with a hot air gun to soften the hose and jubilee clip to feed your cistern, basin etc. @newhome has a great picture from memory of a wc sitting in the middle of her floor slab after the temporary enclosure was removed.

Yep, I tried an injection kit myself from Wickes in the early 90s. Came with a pump and then little plugs from memory. It didn't work. Think the wallpaper continued to lift thereafter.

Are there any cheap Chinese, direct equivalents for these TX & RX modules?

I always struggle understanding those little RF modules as in how to interface them to something "real" like a relay so I've always avoided them. I thought that nutsvolts circuit link really useful. Have you the link again please for those modules you bought?

I know there's loads of fraudsters about and the bit about sticking the probes into lead paint was funny but it came across a bit as saying "it's not damp it's because of the salts in the substrates". There must be cases of damp that just happen too to be "salty" and presumably you'd see higher conductivity than a "dry" salty substrate? I'll hold my hands up to in the past to repairing "breathable" lime plastered walls with a modern, pva laden mix! ? This through ignorance more than anything else. Blocked air bricks was the culprit for underfloor damp on my 1865 first place, a 2 up 2 down terrace. When I did the bathroom just, the inside concrete floor was level with the outside path along the house and the inside floor was itself 6cm higher than the adjacent room floors. The bottom of the cavity was rubble filled too. I took the path up that was bridging the dpc and everything rapidly dried out.
