Seconds?

That cheapo 3 channel controller you pointed me at a while back has been spot on thanks.

If ever you want to paint that wall behind all the fittings then buy a cheap roll of tin foil. Great for masking difficult to mask things like pipes, holds it's form and is easy to remove. I'm thinking maybe a matt black canvas to show everything off and polish the copper..... ?

How about mounting in a neat line on the back of that doubled up roof timber (the one with the stud & plate washer)?

Get ALL your bits, plan it loose THEN select your enclosure I would. The one I have for all the above bits on the board is clear fronted and tbh a bit oversize but it'll go in a downstairs cupboard.....eventually. Cobwebs look unsightly and slugs just find their way in (and can even cause shorts). You can always paint the box "brick" coloured. Even down to fake mortar lines! ?

I'd line a "box" with fire resistant pb. This is rough and temporary, on a loose board but you'll get the idea. Bluetooth (ceiling speakers) psu socket is permanently on. Next socket is switched on and off by the switched receiver

If you WANT mice, rats and squirrels...get one of these: F***ing useless! I've actually heard it say: "Ooh look a RAT Dad, best we get a cat!"

Are you having a ceiling in there? You could mount everything on a hinge down flap maybe? Might have to compromise on your ceiling insulation...

I may be wrong. I've also heard caceum. Something to do with acid making it taste bitter.

Something like this perhaps? https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/SMTPS401.html

The Quinetic receiver can only handle a load UP TO 5A between 10 & 24vdc. The receiver is thus not "too powerful". The receiver doesn't put anything out per se it's about what it can handle current wise. If you try and draw a load over 5A via the receiver it won't handle it (well, probably not for very long).

Grid switches on a plate.

Pier caps... We're going to make these, firstly on cost grounds and second for the fun of the maths in making the formwork: Any pointers on the mix? Sharp sand cement maybe, mesh? Maybe line the former with DPM for a smooth finish? Is there a set angle for run off on these? Cheers

To control a single set of lights you'll need to go: 230vac > CV05 > input (230vac) side of transformer > "fairy lights". So one transformer per set of lights. If using Quinetic you can get 3 gang switches even ones suitable for outside. You can also get a dual receiver, their QUR323, not a 3 channel one though sadly... or You CAN also get the QUR302 DC receiver that'll switch 24v DC at 5A. So trannie output into the DC 10/24 side. I'd stick with separate trannies (& receivers) or it's one out all out.

2 courses of facing bricks next then weld an angle on to support the first inset section and whack in a Celotex "brick" to be dug out later for the brick light. Having to keep it covered so it doesn't fill up with beech leaves!

Wish I could fix my big vintage nailer! Duo-Fast CN-350. New seal kit from the States. Fitted that. Fires one nail in and fails to return from memory. I gave up and gave to my chippy mate who drew a blank too. Fires 90mm nails too.

I don't like electric showers period. All those amps+H2O. No thanks.

A major improvement then!

To double check things? Probably fire one at each diagonal corner so my lad can work one side and me the other. Will that work? Who knows, I ain't no bricky!

Just splashed out on two of these beauties for £15 with change! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3D-Laser-Level-Self-Leveling-Point-Line-Cross-Horizontal-Vertical-With-Tripod-UK-/143368654797 (I'll just have them constantly on doing this next gate pillar). ?

Made a start on the other pillar: Used mortar gun: All pointed and cleaned off now. Dead handy to be able to shift the gate way over to the right with the extension rail. Cheap Chinese laser used to make sure its level with the other side.

You won't go far wrong using this sort of timber screw. Slow and expensive though when compared to nails. https://www.screwfix.com/p/timberfix-flange-structural-timber-screw-brown-6-3-x-100mm-50-pack/23059? I did all the new ceiling in my bathroom with them and its solid as a rock. I didn't want to use a hammer and nails as there was too much "loose" adjacent stuff like dodgy plaster etc. Didn't have a nail gun that fired nails that long either. I got these at mate rates from a company I've used for 35 years so all good. A nail gun would be better I think for skewing nails in at an angle.

Will YOU be up to the task of demolishing when it's time is up? ? What's the predicted lifespan of these walls?

Made a little extension for the gate track so I can shift the gate clear and build the second pillar. Bit of 20mm galv conduit and some Ts cut from an old I beam:

My oil boiler must have big galleries. Fitted in 98. Never had any form of service that I'm aware of until 2015 when I replaced a few bits. I keep meaning to add inhibitor. Not a bad advert for Warmflow.
