Sounds like my house!

Let's be honest buy a kit like this: https://www.justboom.co/product/justboom-amp-hat-kit/ ...and the collective nerd herd would have you up and running in no time.

A quick Google for "u value for different timber frame" then Images: https://www.google.com/search?q=u+value+for+different+timber+frame&safe=active&client=ms-android-samsung-ga-rev1&prmd=inv&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjon-7clajkAhVWRhUIHQ8nAgIQ_AUoAXoECBAQAQ&cshid=1567085463025&biw=360&bih=612 See the many details at the timber-frame-suppliers.co.uk links. Many ways to skin this cat.

The Bernstein has a similar, quick release button. No overshoot?

Second time I've heard of that issue! That DOESN'T happen with the Bernstein (NT2038 model) I have on the Geberit frame.

@Nickfromwales, your thoughts on RAK wall hung WCs? Turkish I think? Mate has the Geberit frame same as mine but doesn't want to pay £195 for the same Bernstein pan. Cheers

Belle. Means mixer like Hoover means vacuum cleaner. Be afraid, be very afraid! Never be tempted to stick anything in it whilst it's going round, like a shovel or you'll go with it. Mine was given to me on the usual "if you can get it going or it's going down the tip" basis. Has a Schuko mains plug / socket on I believe, which was knackered on mine. Too long ago to remember how I repaired it but I think it involved Isopon. Switch on mine is fine. My 4 leg stand has disintegrated. My drum has a few holes too. Last time I used it I had to reweld one of the paddles on. Always wash down/out properly especially if borrowed.

I wonder if it's worth cantilevering the "floor beams" out the extra 2m when you build the cabin to create a balcony. Worst case you get pulled ref the 2m rule and you have to cut it back.

Same mixer as mine I think. I bought the last 6 genuine belts a while back.

Home brew as in "DIY" not the drinky sort. Timely reminder that I've a cider kit from The Range to make sometime...luckily I've 40 500ml bottles amassed.....

Air rifle time I reckon.

I recall Nick saying that gun foaming in my horizontal soil pipe in the wall wouldn't do much to suppress noise and that Rockwool would be better. However the only sound heard is from the Geberit in wall cistern (might as well be silent) and the rimless Bernstein pan as it does it's thing and that is really quiet too. Filling noise is imperceptible pretty much. I hear more "pipe" noise oddly downstairs when the upstair en suite flushes and everything passes the end of the horizontal pipes at the branch a couple of metres from the downstairs wall hung. I guess it echos?

I think you should cast steps, or a ramp to get down into it and rather than a continuous seat, break it up with arm rest/drink holders. Maybe some lions and Christians for good measure..

That's the general idea! I think you have to pour it it one hit. If you do a mix and let it dry then lay another mix on top, the "join" won't be waterproof.

Looks like a step in the right direction...

I wondered at the difference. I've been using the Everbuild Integral Waterproofer from Toolstation for years and its really good imo. Makes you wonder as Everbuild is a Sika company. Interesting to compare the dmsafety data sheets: Then SikaProof:

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.
