Onoff

If it were me...I'd over complicate things! Make a big ply board cut to the seating profile to shape the render. Rotate around a dead square central pole - use that for a parasol later if required. I've mulled doing similar for a home brew hot tub. Would need some drainage tubes down from the seat to shed standing water. A nice set of concrete steps too.

They really are prehensile... Still, it was nice of Professor X to take you in.

NFN?

Though I was dubious and spitting feathers at the cost when SWMBO bough a can, I can confirm that Cuprinol Anti Slip Decking stain does what it says on the tin. It's really, really good. We have a set of steps made from decking which tba need ripping up and burning but madam was determined to use this stain (citing the time it would take me to replace them ? ). What can I say, it works a treat.

On the back of Ian's wise words I've just ordered: Stone Grip Non-Slip Floor Treatment 900ml from Slip Doctors. £34.99 so not cheap but rather that than my £17/m2 ceramics catching me out! Also timely as my 89 year old FiL has only just broken his hip and had a partial replacement 2 weeks ago. Tbh healing well, medical team astounded and back home and walking albeit with a stick / sticks. His pre fall relative fitness helped massively I'm sure, him being super active for his age. (He is I might add on methotrexate which I believe makes bones brittle? He does take calcium supplements to compensate).

I was considering this treatment for our wet room corner. Anyone used it? https://www.slipdoctors.co.uk/products/anti-slip-floor-tile-coating?

If it's SWA just cleat to the wall or belt and braces cap it with a length of Loblite or similar but you can do that later if at all.

Means I can listen to the radio without anyone else annoying. ?

And you're coupling it with a Crapple device...

But it's DeWalt...

I'll look to extend the nom 100dia hard, grey plastic section coming off the back of the fan, looks like it'll solvent weld. Thinking then a strap boss, 45deg elbow to the 32mm dia pipe? Flexible duct onto the 100dia extension. All needs to be demountable if ever I need to change the fan. This fan was only meant anyway as a stop gap before eventual MVHR.

How to test? Just "sniff" or something more exotic like coloured smoke?

You draw it and I'll make it!

This is my fan. Couldn't really introduce anything to the inlet side...

I was wondering whether I could introduce a Y shaped junction in my (currently flexible) extractor ducting or whether if the room extractor was on it'd blow back into the cistern/pan? My main bathroom lighting is 4 down lights on a Quinetic dimmer system. Because of the dimmer module I've put the extractor fan on the separate feature, (blue) lighting circuit that's on a Quinetic switched receiver. In two minds whether to introduce an occupancy sensor for the lights/fan. The extractor fan is imo quite noisy and as I say comes on when the feature lighting is switched on. It also has a humidistat so it comes on at 65% humidity independent of the mood lighting being on. Tbh I think I'd rather just the pan fan came on as required. Was considering whether if I took the fresnel lens off an occupancy sensor and mounted it directly above the WC it'd just "look down" at someone sitting on the loo... Or just a bog standard, occupancy sensor without any mods that just triggers the pan fan when you walk in and consider what else the switch can be used for later? Still fancy a very short range/restricted beam angle jobbie.

It's been done. Have a look on Pinterest e.g. https://pin.it/baddy4dwojhajo

Thinking on the lines of some wooden worktops have sloping grooves cut to say a Belfast sink. Could you cast similar I wonder. Tbh can't see why not. An idea with legs I reckon. ?

"Used" ?

Morticians are quite keen on this sort of detail I believe.

Anyone know of a very short range PIR sensor that would only trigger when someone sits on the pan?

I was only "sitting"' contemplating this this morning. I REALLY need to get my ar$e in gear and fit a fan to my unfinished pan take off system. My youngest has, on occasion, slid an A4 sheet under the door whilst I'm in there with the word "SMELLS!" scrawled with a Sharpie. 32mm solvent weld fitting into the top of the Geberit cistern. (Not sure tba whether this will impede servicing but I can always multi-tool it flush). At the mo the take off pipe just ends in the loft:

Sought after? Presumably chassis rot can be a big issue?

That era Cortina was all about a soft and comfy rather than sporty cornering. The Focus suspension set up is renowned for being very good in even standard form. The ST170 just made it better. Light years away from the one dimensional, rear leafed set up on the Capri though I love them! You can at least feel the "it's gonna go" point with the Capri. Thinking now I might get this cross member galvanised coating if I can get it done at mate's rates.

What mark would an F reg (1967) Landover be?
