I do have a Bosch 230V one with a knackered motor someone was chucking out...wonder if it'd graft to a Makita drill?

Some small, wireless transmitters here from Wise, page 57: wise catalogue small.pdf

Thanks all. Suitably put off!

Anyone used one of these, converts an angle grinder into a small chainsaw: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Multi-Function-Electric-Saw-Bracket-Chainsaw-Chain-Kit-For-Angle-Grinder-Cool-UK/123463268898?hash=item1cbefbfa22

Sure he's not African?

Could you...replace the two gang switch with MK style gang switches...make 1 of them a Quinetic switch and the other "standard". Existing uplighters tradtionally switched. Break into the feed for the existing 2A sockets and fit a Quinetic receiver. Fit a plug in Quinetic adapter for the salt crystal light in the existing 13A socket.
-
The plug in receiver adapter is unfortunately discontinued. I wonder if the plug in bleeper (bleeps for 5 seconds?) could be adapted to latch a relay for the light.

Have a good look here. Might be a cheaper, single channel RF remote combo that they do as a kit/module or ready built: https://www.esr.co.uk/home.htm Don't miss the Velleman kit section as it's separate. Had quite a few bits of them myself and I think @Nickfromwales used them too.

A Mainslink transmitter getting it's live from the existing wall switch would do that end: https://cpc.farnell.com/rf-solutions/mainslink/remote-mains-control-system/dp/RF00336? Then feed the matching receiver with a permanent live from the 13A socket adjacent to the light you want to come on. Throw the existing switch, existing 2A circuit lights come on, Mainslink TX gets 230V at the same time. Receiver picks up and switches lamp on. Page 2: 2176070.pdf Deep pockets?

Click Smart kit? https://www.scolmore.com/products/inels/ Transmitter sited at / operated by existing 2G switch. Receiver sited at 13A socket feeding another 2A socket. Not cheap though!

Did debate this but a mate tried them and couldn't get on with them plus I thought "How hard can it be?" Probably not helped by the first time plastering having come out well. With hindsight etc!
-
I think I might have a copy of Microsoft Project 2000 kicking around come to think of it...
-
I beg to differ. If I don't wait for the 3 big ones to dry I'll upset their position trying to fit the small ones!
-
Me, make a list? Is it: Window Reveal Cut all 26 tiles Stick on or Window Reveal Cut 3 big soffit tiles Stick on Wait to dry Cut 3 small soffit tiles Stick on Wait to dry Cut 5 big left hand tiles Stick on Wait to dry Cut 5 small left hand tiles Stick on Cut 5 big right hand tiles Stick on Wait to dry Cut 5 small right hand tiles Stick on

Hang on, 3A switched outlets...not 5A? Are the "few" "3A" switched sockets on the same radial? Chuck a receiver at the front end and leave them all switched on. Then change the 13A socket (2G?) the other side of the room to a dual or dual plus one box, another receiver and 3A outlet.
-
I'm a bit lost as to what you want tbh (don't worry it's me not you I'm sure). Random thoughts... Quinetic? You could I'm sure feed one receiver from another... ...The 13A plug in receiver should work off a 3A socket just the same...take the guts out and shove in the 3A outlet? https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/QUA313.html?

He finishes on the 14th so then or that weekend. No worries. Such is the life of a jetsetting Sunamp guy! Just debating digging a channel across the floor of the stairs room to the eventual manifolds final resting place. That's going to go down a storm... Snagging list is a good shout. I'll do one later and depress myself! Presumably everyone's seen the "Alexa play Dad's favourite song!" ad when the homesick girl's at uni ? I messaged him the other day; "Alexa, cover the place in dust and lay some random pipes on the floor I can keep tripping over!" Not impressed!
-
Oh yes! It was in use but then I covered it over as a bench / working platform and to protect it. A few days hopefully and I'll have it uncovered ready for tiling

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like A Bathroom... But not from this angle:
-
If I win the Lotto tonight I'm going to have a GSHP just because I've got the land to do so! Wasn't it @Barney12 did one? Or at least laid the pipes? Seem to remember a picture of a digger in/on the edge of a bfo trench... And someone else was in about sinking a loop weighted down with bricks into their lake...?
-
This one's near me. Guessing English isn't the lads first language. Have to wonder what heating etc he'll have when it goes! https://www.gumtree.com/p/plumbing-central-heating/air-source-heat-pump/1321518960 Maybe he's renting the house!

What would the efficiency of something like this diy air source heat pump? I know a tame fridge guy who can degas / regas:

Easier for vermin to nest in the fluffy stuff isn't it? That's why I pir'd above the bathroom. Figured a nice cold (and drying) breeze across the top would be less attractive. That and I could let the cat have a run around up there everynow and again. Trouble is it's taken me so long the cat's DIED! -

Could he do 160mm of pir instead over the ceiling? -

I'm all for using up off cuts of pir. Wedge/stack like you're building a walk and foam fill all the gaps as the "mortar" between. Dampen the wall edges do the foam sticks better.
