As an aside to the plastering thread the mid terrace I have has 2G, upvc windows dating from the early 90s. There are no trickle vents fitted which tbh I think there should be. Is it easy retrofitting them, do you have to choose a certain size, then do you have to route a slot or will a series of drilled holes suffice? Thanks.
Ceiling heights would be fine for that. I'd still have though the 160 year old ceilings above. Pull up an upstairs floorboard and you're looking down on all the accumulated filth, mouse poo and skin cells that have slipped through the gaps in the boards and is sat atop the laths.
Thinking "clean slate" is the best way to go.
Evening,
Looking at possibly replastering the two upstairs and two downstairs walls of a 2 up 2 down mid terrace from 1865. The 4 rooms plus stairwell. That and the two downstairs ceilings that are currently lath and plaster.
I believe it's lime / horse hair plaster. Very thick but quite hollow in places so I don't think a skim over or boarding over is a goer.
Are modern materials like an opc based render followed by a multifinish plaster a no go? I'm thinking it should all be breathable.
Just starting to consider this so early days.
Routing jigs, coil formers, knife blocks, helical milling jigs, rubber feet for drainers...
I can't count the practical things we use it for, in use every day.
There's this type too:
I got my lad to print an adapter to exactly fit the Makita cordless:
For accurate "edge" drilling though he'll print guides for that particular board thickness that clip over the edge.
The Schneider si types are not time delayed but protect against transient inrush current on startup. They've solved a lot of headaches for me where the client/spec called for a 30mA RCD.
Check out Schneider Type B si RCD & RCBO types. I've always used where inverters firung up cause nuisance tripping:
