Onoff

Seem to recall -19 a few years back in't valley. Let's see what tonight brings aside from snow from 18.00 to 23.00 Add snowmobile to the project list ( I've got the plans)!

Figured this might be helpful as a question in its own right. Geberit frame is in with 9mm ply over the full face of the frame followed by 12mm Aqua Panel then tiles. There's a bit of a bow to due my poor tiling. I have the silicone spray ready to lube the flush & poo pipes up. I have Forever White as the final, "replaceable" bead where pan meets wall. What should I stick the pan to the wall with? Sika EBT, CT1 etc. This to gap fill / even out and spread the load a bit I'm thinking. The back of the pan will probably be 2.5mm off the tile face either side and touching in the centre. Any other tips for fitting these, first one I've done! Cheers

Siliconed in with some Dow Corning 785+. Got Forever White to do the "grouting". Will have a fair few leftover, part used tubes of various (decent quality) silicones etc left over I reckon. Don't reckon they'll still be in date by the time I start the en suite!

Tbh I'd leave it a bit longer before tiling...

We should have a leader board / section for the lowest ambient temperature. I'm never going to win but did have to pour half my cup of tea over the gate lock this morning!

Frost hollow? Got that here. Sun doesn't get high enough for long enough to melt the snow. Like that micro climate in Z For Zacariah! You'd need orange balls to play the course next to me at the mo. I could do with a thermal camera I reckon to pinpoint all my loss points.

December 8th I had 300gal of oil left. As of today down to about 175gal so about 125gal/570L used for CH and DHW. Feels like I'm using a lot. Backed up like tonight by a 3kW fan heater in the lounge.

Again looks better in real life: Been messing around with the angle of the LED strip to light the mosaics. Hoping to fit the end panel on the bath once and for all next. I'll white silicone the joints around the removeable panels then grout the rest. Tbh......could I just white silicone all the joints instead of grout at least on the long side and end and just grout the top?

Believed in Ireland to bring prosperity to the house I believe?

She rarely gets 5 minutes to herself what with sorting kids and elderly parents. Maybe when the bathroom's done she can lock herself away with the Veet.

Tbh I should have probably let HER do the tiling!

Revamp those old 18V cordless tools to take Parkside Lidl 20V Li-ion ones: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3005395

Could be the answer to my prayers a generic Makita battery adapter. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2156290 Thinking I could take the top off of the "no name" 18V tool batteries and bolt the 2-piece adapter to that.

Mine too. 100A incomer. 25mm concentric. Good for about 120A.

I was half eyeing up the Balco one from Aldi: https://www.aldi.co.uk/balco-3d-printer/p/086887240233900 £299 is a bit more than I'd like to pay. I'm also assuming there's clones of the Balco available cheaper on eBay etc. Tempted to go the route @Temp has and order the same one on the basis he'll know all the issues with it. Aldi filament reels btw online at £12.99, 1.75mm, 1kg, PLA

Can I ask what program you model in? In fact what are the stages in all this. Never heard of Cura or the "slicer". Ta.

Haven't looked tbh. On 2010 here.

Anyone suggest a good piece of free software to convert an AutoCAD model to an STL? Cheers.

Not exactly the Replicator is it. 8.5hrs...even SWMBO could make the tea in that time! Do you have to be keeping an eye on it during that time? Does it smell also? Interesting ref the hollow/solid thing, never knew. I can see me buying one I think.

SWMBO, by her own volition, has stated my grouting is "smoother" than hers. Couldn't bring herself to say better! She's asked whether her's could be "filed" or otherwise smoothed out. Can you add grout to grout?

The 2000th reply? There's no prize btw!

Only got 6 conduits for the SELV stuff. Originally planned 4 up the side and 2 on the end. Don't really want to squeeze 2 leads up one etc. I need to say "No more!" and step away.

No more plinth lights. Agreed with SWMBO none at the end. Tbh the LED strip should compliment the 5 (if set on blue). Maybe solder that all up / fit tomorrow. Going to sit and eat a pomelo and wait for the snow!

In the Guardian the other day (bought by mistake) there was a bit about 30 odd Dakotas will be flying out of Duxford to celebrate D-Day. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jan/28/parachutists-to-fill-skies-over-normandy-on-75th-anniversary-of-d-day

Indicative only but how much to make one off battery adapter (the blue bit) similar to this?
