Onoff

Hudson Reed mixer valve (as per mine / Dave's) in action, short video. Mine's off a shower pump btw:

If my BiL comes with me to grab the tank you can talk to him all things diggers and dumpers. Knows his stuff.

Everyone loves the controls to one side here. Same as @ProDave's:

Just put the mixer to one side.

I've pushed the tiles up in the pic to show the detail.

So I've a broken one of these (motor burnt to a crisp): And one of these: (From Distel Electronics from memory). And I can get some of these: RPM seems about right...I won't be pushing it...

Well aware I'm throwing good money after bad here... A bit precarious taking this: There is a bit of a fall: The No Nonsense degreaser seems to shift the grime: Daddy's not so little Amish helper: Detailing is bloody awful: Waiting for it to dry:

Once you get really confident you can start designing and making your own jigs!

Delete everything after the "?"

Crude? Bang tidy "sketch" that. ?

Cheers. Seems a bit counter to the issue to scrub then hose off an already leaking roof! Can't make an omelette etc I suppose! Want to be cleaning this TONIGHT so it'll be whatever I can get, probably this: Bit concerned tbh about harm to any wee beasties as the run off from here ends up on the garden. I wonder id a good scub with some Ecover type washing up liquid and a rinse would do it?

Yes, there is some greenery because the fall is so slight. This is during a previous repair: It's not a good detail imo generally. From looking inside that 3 tile ridge piece that I can access from either hip end the whole roof, about 24'x24' was first covered in 3/4" ply on fittings sloping from the centre. The ply was covered in a layer of sanded, (not green mineral), felt. THEN, the ridge was built by nailing 4"x2" apex pieces against the ridge board. Subsequent layers of felt were laid on the flat bits and up and over the ridge. That original felt failed. Subsequent re felting has been put over the top of the old (not guilty). The tiles just come down over this newer felt. I've been putting this off for a few years now. I'd like to extend the eaves a bit to overhang more. Maybe even do a hidden gutter detail and fibreglass the roof like @Barney12 did which looks superb. I was half thinking to do away with that central ridge piece completely to give one big roof area. Or maybe making provision for, an albeit flat, PV install. Maybe with a central access hatch? This will likely be my next project!

50mm here on the original advice of @Nickfromwales. Bath, shower empty quicker and quieter. Basin is 32mm solvent weld into a reducer in a 50mm tee. Don't forget an anti siphon trap on the basin if you do this. Stops all that gurgling. Have to say my wastes flow like a dream so far. (Must check the hair trap in the wall drain... ? )

I think with any of the good, free software you have to go into it on the understanding that when the user base is big enough or the individual stored content such that they can in effect hold to ransom with threats of data loss, the developers may change the t&cs of use, sell the product on, charge for it or bring out a tiered service, restricting the basic user. Doesn't always happen but you've only to look at Photobucket, Flickr and of course Draftsight. I pay btw to be a pro user on Flickr. Got to the point I had so much on there and downloading it all would have been a pain that I paid up what I thought was a reasonable monthly fee. Imo it's that good. Photobucket was so ad laden and slow, even before the big changes to 3rd party access that I just gave up with it. Draftsight stopped working on my Linux PC and became clunky on one of the Windows ones. No such thing as a free lunch etc!

Interestingly on my Aquaseal tanking kit is says you can use Everbuild sbr if you haven't got the Aquaseal primer:

It's like pva on steroids. Looks ths same, smells different but is waterproof whereas ordinary pva isn't.

About to slap a 20kg tin of Chromapol, grey roof repair compound over my "on it's last legs" dormer roof. Area is nom 24' x 8'. Tin says I should clean with Cromar Alpha Chem Moss and Mould remover. I have none! Can I use some bleach in water?

I'd solvent weld into a boss.

Cheers for that. Dagenham yes? Do you want to PM me a mobile. Cheers.

Yes please to the tank. What capacity? What do you want for it? Cheers

In the bathroom I wire brushed the concrete floor then hoovered it before tiling.

I've been using this for ages and the exposed concrete I've done with it is really standing up well. Shed base, sliding gate post bases and track base. Also used on the bathroom floor. What I like about it is it has de-aerating properties so less tamping needed to get the air out. You just don't seem to get a lot of air bubbles as you tamp. (I didn't use it where I cast the shower base to falls, instead I went for a strong, "resinous", SRB heavy, exotic mix based on 10mm pea shingle after much research). https://www.toolstation.com/integral-liquid-waterproofer/p80460 Also use it in mortar and render as required. I think Sika make it for them.

You've used it before obviously. Something I would like to learn is Solid Works. My boy can use it but won't touch AutoCAD oddly enough whereas I love it.

Tbh I'm blind when it comes to things like decorating, whether she's had her hair done or even coloured it. I've come home before now and she's re wallpapered...I've not noticed. Just doesn't bother me. I like detail. Our lounge diner for instance. I'd have gutted it by now. As long as it's clean I'd live with looking up at the ceiling joists and dormer floor joists above that.

SWMBO just said; "Oh, that's nice!"...
