  1. Thanks. So reading back there's no joint tapes at rooflight upstands, where it meets a wall etc? (Like you would use if tanking a wet room). It relies on the inherent flexibility of the paint? But the joints between boards have matting laid down first. ?
  2. @MJNewton how's the Desmopol standing up?
  3. Presumably you'll be going to Fistival again this year?
  4. I've put in two new build windows, two replacement windows and 3 doors, all upvc. The windows were new and the doors all secondhand. Limited experience then but I'd go for Compriband or Illbrück equivalent tape every time over foam. If I had to use foam then Illbrück FM330 over anything else. I'd really urge you to watch White Gold about how not to fit "double glazing". It's on Netflix.
  5. Plus the ribs he had removed.
  6. You forgot self cleaning 🤮
  7. Why do you always have to make it about you?
  8. You like a gadget, buy a volt stick: https://www.screwfix.com/p/fluke-ac-non-contact-voltage-detector-pen-1000v-ac/85949
  9. I think Flexi Tap Tales would have been a better thread title.
  10. The 100mA RCD at the house end, feeding the swa to the garden room needs to be time delayed to allow for selectivity. I've done this on a TT system but also incorporated a switched fused for overcurrent protection. I took one of these: https://www.internet-electrical.co.uk/switchgear/switchfuses/lewden-single-phase-switchfuse/lewden-fs6380100-white-metal-single-phase-switch-fuse-with-63a-80a-100a-fuses-for-domestic-installations-ip40-100a?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI59qb_Lq5hAMVuJlQBh0q-wetEAQYASABEgKcr_D_BwE The swapped out the DP isolator for one of these: https://www.ledbulbs.co.uk/products/lewden-100a-100ma-2p-2-module-rccb-100-100-2sa?variant=39691026628666&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI2IPbuLu5hAMVl5tQBh2QSgQOEAQYAiABEgJUV_D_BwE The SWA goes from their to the new consumer unit in the outbuilding.
  11. I may go just to depress myself watching the monied elite.
  12. Measure the OD of the pipe with a Vernier and report back.
  13. Should do. Maybe use flexible plaster filler that comes in a tube instead of Easifill.
  14. A proper bodger just cuts the foam level and paints it: Wallpaper over the foam if you want to do it properly... 😉
  15. Can't see what's wrong with foam! 😉
  16. Finger plates!
  17. Sikaflex EBT I've used.
  18. You might be better with a Forstner drill.
  19. I've successfully stuck eps to brick and concrete with Soudal Low Expansion Foam.
  20. Didn't @Jeremy Harris stick black upvc fascia on with Soudal Low Expansion foam?
  21. Same here. Left the CT1 for I think 36hrs until putting any weight on it". My tiling doesn't look too bad from this angle...
  22. Not sure what you mean. This worked for me:
