First I've realised that you've no proper CH! So what you've open fires and electric heaters? Guessing a back boiler and buffer tank?

Me, plan??? Looking at it now. Seriously there's always been an interim plan to tap off the existing antiquated system.

Not yet connected up!

Bear with me as this might sound a bit mental! Current downstairs heating is a 50 year old 3/4" nominal bore system. New bathroom refurb has x1 UFH loop in the floor and a second loop purely for a towel rad. I don't really want to connect a manifold to the old single pipe system and get it and the new loops crudded up. Now for the mad bit... Thinking that as I've a spare copper cylinder I could divert the single pipe CH through the coil of the cylinder. Then fill the cylinder and pump that via a manifold around my two loops. I've an in slab stat I could use to control the pump. Thus I'd keep old and new systems separate. An aside is that the room where the "buffer" cylinder would be sited would get some heat from the cylinder as there's no heating there at the mo aside from the single pipe across the floor that I'd look to tap off of to feed the cylinder. Thinking it'd also maybe put less strain on the oil boiler. So stat calls for heat and pump simply circulates some hot through the loop (s). But would it be too hot as there's no blending? ??? Cheers

So to cut this tile...smooth diamond disc or maybe a multi tool blade? Wet (plant sprayer?) or dry? Cheers

I wouldn't pay £20K for this, too many mistakes of which I'll catalogue later in all their gory detail. Still, good practice for when I do the main bathroom! (Kidding! There is the en suite to do though).

It's got 3 horizontal lines of the stuff Tbh I'm thinking I could file it against a clamped timber.

@Nickfromwales......HEEEEEELP! This removeable bath end panel is trying me. Don't know where I went "out" but to get it to look near right I need to take a sliver off the tile up to the blue line: Trouble is that tile is stuck to the ply with CT1 Grab 'n Bond. Was thinking to maybe clamp a timber on and run the diamond disc along it? Cheers

SWMBO's another weird one who wants all the wcs the same? Guessing once she's perfected her cleaning technique on one it makes sense...

You can see where I chipped off the render at the sides to get the width: Then the drawing I gave to the guy who fab'd the window: Wedging and foaming: As ever, helped at every step of the way by the good folk on here! Homemade wedges were invaluable. Rather than expanding foam I'd use Compriband next time as I did on the second window I did.

I dug out whatever to get to the outside of the wood frame and measured there.

Do you have a radon gas issue locally? Just wondering if you'll have to consider a specific DPM?

As far been said many times in here...You only pay for insulation ONCE! As in put enough in & do it right and it'll serve you well and as fuel costs double, triple, quadruple the impact will affect you less.

3 to cut! Got to wait for the Grab 'n Bonded one above to go off: 37 x13 the one in the very corner: Then once I've the cabling soldered to the LED strip and heatshrunk, this one in the pocket.

Are you relying on the pond to fill up naturally?

Looks like my lad's uni rental garden. Throw in some cracked manhole covers and it could be. Cheeky f***ers have in the lease the boys are supposed to keep it in good order!

Astroturf?

Yep direct from Germany. Was a lot cheaper when I bought it!

I'll hopefully be fitting a Berstein wc to Geberit frame shortly. One of these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RIMLESS-WALL-HUNG-WALL-MOUNTED-TOILET-NT2038-Ceramic-Soft-close-duroplast-seat/282355252671?

If slate then that'll likely extend out into the house and garden. Think I'd dig a small hole outside to see how soon I hit slate or whatever.

Can't you bring the <100m "cheap" length to the garage then feed another cu in the house from there with all the circuits that might trip and require resetting in the house / plant room and thus more easily accessible? Say the garage door supply trips that'll screw your wheelchair user.

On the main house rather than the garage I assume? Just thinking the cu would be better in the house than garage if that's the case...

You having PV?

You get air spaced and foam filled. Especially important to dip the air spaced types in silicon grease like my F plug fitting link or water can get in.
