Onoff

Went with Crown in the end over the Wickes acrylic primer: First coat, applied with two sizes of synthetic brush then rollered:

Yep. Price is about right but you can get tubes for around a fiver. I use it for everything. I dip wire ends in before I put crimps on if something is going in an external enclosure. I then dip the crimp in, say a 1/4" blade type. Loads of mates now use on their motorbike connections. Good on car battery terminals for stopping crud building up. Dip your coax cable ends in before fitting F connectors onto satellite dish LNBs etc. I found it suggested here first: http://www.satcure.co.uk/tech/silicone.htm

Other option would have been an IP6X junction box. Fed from loft is it? A neat option is feed through the back of a wall mount jb then bottom entry to the light fitting. Silicon the back of the jb where it meets the wall. I like the IP6X Amphenol / Bucaneer style connectors like those, good for 16A some of those. What I do is go belt and braces & pack the inside of the connector with silicone grease at work. They last indefinitely. How does the white cable come out of "wherever"? Watch for chaffing. I'd have used black too. I'd have added some nylon P clips and used stainless screws tidy things up / stop things flapping in the wind.

That's actually a proper IP6X one. Undoubtedly let down by a bad gland install. Top entry is the work of the Devil. Bottom or rear entry every time if you can. Appreciate difficult against a fence post.

Edit

Does nobody on here give a flying f*** about copyright? Ripped off from the dodgy PDF is it?

Ignore the IMDB Jaws link at the end of my post!

Define long? Try having one with dementia. Seems like they live for ever. I think 7 years was quoted to me. Poxy disease.

That I come in every night to the apricot, honey and vegetable tagine that SWMBO dished up tonight...

I don't believe so but you could make your own big system using carriers e.g. 222-500. They're primarily for DIN rail mounting but I've screwed them into the raised plastic bosses of enclosures before

No rattling with this Wago jb! Should satisfy any neat freaks...

1) It's the wrong way up. 2) By Christ that must be one big cat!

An automated loft ladder...that'd be a step up...

We want pictures!

You haven't been here long, he's got a serious aversion to leaks.

Is there really going to be that much difference in quality between Dulux and Leyland? Is it paying for a name with in the case of Dulux? Or do I really splash out and go for the Diamond stuff? Tbh seems daft if I'm changing to oak veneered later!

If you really want to see DIY solar thermal working for people who think outside the box head across the pond to here: https://simplysolar.supporttopics.com/ Yes, they get more Sun. They also seem to go for size to compensate for lower efficiency of the designs.

Managed to catch it and get a rad roller on it:

Typical, found the rollers during the ads.

Couldn't find the rollers!

I used 2.7s as for some daft reason I decided to go with a nom 2470mm floor to ceiling height! Meant wasting nearly 300mm. Idiot, I should have dropped the new joists lower. Could have avoided those rips by the ceiling, took forever.

Watching Wild Bill...

Sod it! Cupboard door off. Never painted a panelled door in my life. Wickes instructions: Going to be one of these as a first coat over the bare edges and factory white (primed?) faces rather than a primer first: The acrylic primer sounds good? Only place to paint it is in the actual bathroom so I've spread out an 8x5m tarp as best as to protect things: Need to be done by 9 to watch Wild Bill on ITV! ?

I have to take it off imo as they're the doors to/in a wet room and I want to paint the bottom edge. Don't want to get the hinges messy either.

Thanks. Are these figures pre painting? I'm going to btw, take the door off and paint it on trestle.
