  1. If you're on BT and you have neighbours who are too, you should be able to get on line with a device by connecting to I think "BT With Fon" or something like that this bypassing your possibly conflicting system. You have to input your username and password. Just look for the one with most bars. Or just change your router channel via your browser: http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/14094/~/how-do-i-change-the-wi-fi-channel-on-my-bt-hub%3F My money's on it being a Crapple issue! ?
  2. No sorry, that gravy train has stopped running. That was random in that I bought a welder for £69.99 I think it was and as a thank you they offered me a £10 voucher if I recommended a friend who placed an order. Think I had about £130 in vouchers in the end. I just bought more stuff! I know the compressor ended up only costing me just £29.99. A downside to this is that on a particular, small value, 4 item order, only two items turned up. I ended up being blacklisted by Hermes I think it is with every delivery requiring our physical presence to receive goods. Never did get to the bottom of it.
  3. This one? Still online: https://www.aldi.co.uk/chrome-spiral-kitchen-mixer-tap/p/095669298097300
  4. I had 3 BT Home Hub 3s die on me. The Home Hub 4 had been far better and lasted touch wood.
  5. Snubber? Maplin used to be the easiest place to get them. Something like this. https://cpc.farnell.com/ampohm-wound-products/fe-sp-hdr23-100-100/contact-suppressor-0-1uf-100r/dp/FT00715 Or a ferrite bead over the cable: https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Split-Ferrite-Ferrit-for-Cable-6-9mm-Gray-Mains-Filter-Emi-RF-Filter-Clamp-Grey/171851671264?
  6. What's that accent, South African?
  7. Your insulation isn't continuous between wall and floor. I think that will give potential cold bridging issues. Cleverer people will confirm.

    Flint walls are very common and in keeping here, churches etc. These panels though will have special, sentimental significance. The wife inherited, if that's the correct word, her late cousins geological collection of fossils and rocks. I've about 5 crates of flint he'd collected seeing some significance in each piece.

    Thanks. I've a vague recollection of my Bricky tool being 10mm. Something in the back of my mind says it starts off at 12mm and when the brick goes on it squashes down to 10.....

    Is 10mm enough of a mortar thickness between my column bricks? Just knocking up a jig.
  11. Ta. Any precautions with this stuff. Doesn't exactly look benign according to the safety data sheet! A little concerned too as to the effects on wildlife if it runs off onto the garden: 75448.pdf
  12. Just gone to make this up. Are those ratios correct? If it's 20g to 100ml then isn't it 200g/1000ml, 1000g/5000ml. Cheers
  13. I imagine if you pay close attention to the junction where the multipanel comes down on the tray then using mrpb behind will be fine. I think the multipanel vertical joins are pretty foolproof but the bottom edge seal people on here don't rate and do something else instead. There's a specific thread/comment on that somewhere on here. @ProDave and @JSHarris know the score.
  14. The print quality on this diagram 3 in the Wrekin manual is dire. I can't read what it says ref the check valve. As best as I can decipher it says: "Check valve <something> required if <something> part of <something> and bypass valve". I suppose I could email Wrekin.
  15. Us too. The badgers have just started excavating the lawn at night to get at them.
  16. I Aqua Panelled then tanked the whole lot using the Aqua Seal kit. Tile adhesive went on no problem. Seems to have stuck. Believe me, we're giving the wet room corner a serious bashing.
  17. I'm thinking 15mm might not actually be big enough! Just roughly measured the waste run and it's about 6m up out of the cupboard, across the loft to the eaves. Thereafter, where it'll go I don't know. Thinking a larger bore drain pipe down to a drain. As it's draining hard elements could you get a "stalactite" issue at the exit pipe?
  18. Well it powers up... Guess take it into the garden and get the hose connected then run through the commission & start up and see what happens? Wondering if I could reuse the 15mm in the wall (goes up into the loft) as the drain? Then feed the WC off the new 22mm pipe?
  19. The requirements for the drain are min 1/2" dia, use 3/4" pipe if the total length exceeds 6m. Elsewhere it says "not more than 6m". Does say to keep the distance of the incoming main and drainage "to a minimum". However...I can it seems take the drain line UP as in into the loft maybe? Just playing with positioning it: To the right: Might make getting the linen bit out awkward: Maybe this way? I've got a 15mm copper coming down in the wall. Looking to do 22mm, one pipe down and one back up. I can either rip the back wall out and redo or run new 22mms up inside the stud wall and have the bypass valves in there:
  20. The switch next to the bath is going to sound louder and more "tinny" I guess as it's echoing off of the tiles. This is the switch fitted to the pb as you walk into the bathroom: VID_20190728_143620273.mp4 VID_20190728_143620273.mp4
  21. Some pull cords are louder. Depends on the substrate and surrounding wall finishes with these switches.
  22. Isn't it corvids that are themselves corvoid?
  23. Old thread on the subject: It would appear they do do a wider choice of finishes but maybe not in the UK:
  24. Apologies ref the video quality. This is an IP6* rated one by my bath: This (again a video, click to play) is just a switch held against the wall:
