Are these the ones that like a water softener feeding them or they scale up?

A Sunamp in the clearance section? http://www.bublshop.co.uk/mobile/sunamp-3kw/p2047

The old 4 band ones were easy, at a glance.

When they're finished: You just knock up some shuttering: Drop in a trench and level up: Some "conduit": Cover it all up with concrete: Add some 20mm rail: A bit of 20mm conduit and some wheelbarrow wheels to move the galvanised frame around 'cos it's bloody heavy! Erect, red special metals primer then Hammerite. Flag brand paint I think I used. Some reject scaffold boards turned into T&G with 6mm ply strips for the tongues: Slave labour: Lay the boards out on the lawn and cut the curve. More slave labour to transport the off cuts: Lots of drilling, stainless bolts: Simples!

They're actually at Harlech House in Dublin.

I'm erring towards it being 1k so brown/black/red... ???

Thanks all! Looks like @dpmiller found the same link. But is it brown/black/ORANGE? Looks almost brown/black/brown... Some confusion between 1k & 10K... http://www.fixya.com/support/t8214626-resister_r8_hitachi_uc18yrl_charger1st answer says:"Hi Mark,R8 Should be a 1000 Ohm 1/4Watt resistorRgds Ray"A bit further down:R8 looks like a 10K 1/4 watt resistor.Then:"The values that i read:R3 = 4.7 ohm, savety 1/4 WR4 = 47 ohm, savety 1/4 WR8 = 1 k ohm, 1/8 W (seen on working PCB) R9 = 0.47 ohm, savety 1/2 Wthese resistors and Fet: 2SK2996 were defective"

Septic Tank v Sewage Treatment Plant
Onoff replied to canalsiderenovation's topic in Waste & Sewerage
Where I am an old boy around the corner in one of the last remaining "shacks" would only drink rainwater. Even that he'd leave in jars to settle and off-gas of any impurities. In his 90s when he went. His huge, rain fed concrete water tank used for washing etc had a huge tree and it's roots growing through it. -
Easily get his 60/40 split with a pair of differrent size ones and "instant gates". Zoot has the skills we know and could clad after at his leisure.

Can what I think is called grey water; bath / basin go into a soakaway? @PeterStarck , your reed bed, the purpose of that is to "clean" the water up bit more after coming out of the treatment plant? I've the space and like the idea of that. Didn't one of the companies designing them shut up shop after a guy cutting his nearly died from some nasty infection? Do I need to notify etc if installing a treatment plant? Part G maybe? -
Just to show how sliding gates can look like a pair of traditional gates: https://www.traditionalgatecompany.co.uk/index.php/wooden-gates/wooden-gates/wooden-sliding-gates Why not go "full Welsh" with some nice, understated dragon themed gates? ?

My Mum used to enthuse about the rhubarb grown by an old Dutch fella up the road. One day he told her the secret to it. Every evening he'd wander up the garden and "mark his territory" so to speak! ? It's apparently a way of adding certain trace minerals or something too when doing a home biogas reactor on top of 50/50 "brown to green". -

1953 this cess pit was apparently built I've just found out. Around then then time of the original iron water main I replaced a couple of years ago. -
Anyone got a Hitachi drill charger model UC18YRL/YFL? Resistor on board fried beyond recognition/testing. Only 4 screws on the back to take a look for me. Cheers

Arguing with SWMBO now as to how many manholes she thinks there are vs what I think! -
Speaking with the BiL and he reckons the "one handed" chainsaw like this: Is more dangerous to use than a two hander like this: Something to do with kick back? Speed wise the first is 8m/s the second 0-20m/s if that makes any difference? I can get a bare unit like the second one for about £115.

I've been searching the term "NHBC timber decking 150mm" hoping to find specifics regarding decking installation. Thinking if the builder is promoting their adherence to NHBC guidelines and they're clearly not, you might have more recourse in getting it sorted: Seems mainly to relate to balconies so far. Been finding NHBC technical documents that point to the Timber Decking & Cladding Association, like this: TDCA_Builders_Guide.pdf I wonder if the Code of Practice 0801: Raised Timber Decks to meet NHBC standards if you can lay your hands on it might help prove what a crap install you have.

It's in front of the house to one side of the plot between house and road. Just spoken to the 90 year old ex owner. Showed him the photos. Reckons there's another manhole between the 2nd and third I've found and that the one over the cess pit, which'll be number 4, is bang in the middle of it. Means I must have been standing on the edge if not over it a bit. Plank across the arse time I reckon! This all needs confirming rather than taking his word for it. Might get out in a bit with the long tape and do a bit of a survey of where things are for future reference and length too of pump hoses. I can send to the tanker company.
