Interesting about the BP issue. Suffered from high BP in the past and have to watch my diet on occasion if it goes up. Does running softened water through say a Britta filter reduce the sodium?

Thanks. This is the current set up that I threw in when I replaced the old iron water main. This whole original WC set up will eventually go in favour of a wall mount one. (New bathroom is the other side of the right hand wall). I should, if I do this, take the opportunity to continue the main in 22mm. Also need to sort why the pressure reducing valve isn't working/reading. No idea yet where I'll run the drain to. How much water comes out? Could I ditch it under the suspended floor? Ditto the over flow, where does that go to? Cheers

I'm lost...can you or can you not drink softened water? Sure on here there was a discussion that you could with no ill effects? What's thrown me is the diagram below where it says "Hard water tee for drinking water and / or an outside tap".

Have a read of these two foundation beginnings: @PeterStarck @JSHarris http://www.mayfly.eu/2013/08/part-ten-out-of-the-ground/

A while back I bought @PeterStarck's Wrekin 367/606 softener. (He has a new one in the new place that I believe doesn't require an electrical connection). I've been put off fitting it as busy with the bathroom for one but mainly because of where to put it. The house layout is a bit odd. On the NE face I've the mains coming into the small, original, cloak WC. That "end" of the house I've the: NORTH WEST - G.floor - Cloak - WC & basin - G.floor - Main bathroom - WC, bath, basin & shower - 1st Fl - Ensuite - WC, basin, shower The cold water mains goes up into the loft, up the side of the dormer, then across the top the dormer to the other end of the house where it drops down on the SW face. On the direct opposite, SW side of the house about 18m from the mains point of entry, I've the kitchen and oil boiler. So: SOUTH WEST G.floor - Boiler, Sink, Washing Machine, Dishwasher 1st Fl - Hot water cylinder, shower pump Above dormer ceiling - CWS tank and header. Do I look to site the softener local to the incoming mains, somewhere accessible for salt dosing etc then just take a "softened" mains feed over to the other side of the house? Only place I can think of is the cupboard in the new bathroom? A bit of space in there though I know SWMBO was hoping to store a linen bin in there! The lagged pipe you see is teed off the incoming mains to feed the Geberit WC in the picture.

Very organic, those sweeping lines. Not good anyway to have straight lines, all the chi flows away from the house. Feng Shui.

Playing Devil's advocate. There's an outside chance an incoming metallic service could be made live by an external influence so I'd bond the short copper bit that comes in.

Either, then you could be confident in having made a shrewd move...

OK. It looked as though it should be ocean side to me. Guessing that wasn't in keeping with the local architecture? Passed on its own architectural merit was it?

Are you by the beach?

So you used the rapid set? Assuming 'could" because you can work fast?

Sad lad you are! Don't forget the shuttle craft shed: http://fasinfun.blogspot.com/2009/09/full-size-star-trek-shuttlecraft.html?m=1

Would cream of tartar help delay the set?

A complete, 5.7m MiniMax tower used to fit on / in my Renault Laguna estate with the outriggers on the roof.

Very happy with my 152Z bought bare. Most upset though that my BHP451 drill has just gone intermittent. Hoping it's just brushes. EDIT: Hooray! BHP451 drill was just brushes. Needed a 3rd drill today so dug out my trusty old Makita 12V 6223D with its clone NiMH batteries. Surprisingly torquey if slow compared to the two 18V LXTs.

A Gurkha friend's wife makes masala chai from scratch on special occasions (like when I go over ? ). It's unreal, talk about a natural high! You can feel it coursing through your veins.

Looking at the first picture, for a cheap as chips solution you could neatly wrap/twist some st/st mig wire around the flue...if you have any.

I'm off coffee for years bar the occasional, once in a blue moon.one in meetings where that's all there is. Went off tea a while back when ill and haven't got the taste for it back. Was on various fruit teas but keep needing the loo. Plain old H2O now run through the filter. I sleep better and wake up sharper without needing that morning cup of whatever. Discussing with a mate the other day when you go cold turkey after being a tea/coffee/coke drinker. Caffeine withdrawal is a real thing!

Seriously, "lattay" or "lartay"?

I've done similar. Thermahood lip will be intumescent mastic sealed to the foil. Around the Thermahood I'll fill with expanding foam. Cable will come up in 20mm steel conduit.

You want to roll some stainless steel mesh imo, maybe 1/4" pitch. Cut edges on galv mesh will rust and run. Something like this. Not sure on the diameter you need to "wrap". A place that will cut to size would be best: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/The-Mesh-Companys-Stainless-Steel-Woven-Wire-Range-Huge-Range-Top-Prices-/151682102640

2kg ordered thanks.

We've got a jar of something in the back of a cupboard somewhere...just for guests...we dont get many.

Latte. Is it pronounced "lartay" or "lattay"?
