No. SWMBO didn't want full height tiles anywhere...I did. The white, half wall is a compromise. She'll paint that a colour of her choice and match all the towels and stuff to suit.

So the bog roll dispenser needs to become a reality!

That's enough for today: Beer o'clock!

Looks like it comes under the "25% or more" rule imo for a start: https://www.planningportal.co.uk/info/200130/common_projects/18/external_walls/2

A few more fiddly bits. The 3 pocket "sills", quite pleased although all at v.slightly different angles as different depths. Tried to align with the mosaics: The window sill, it's "alright". Had to have the back of one joint at about 4mm rather than 3. And a few tiles on the return by the wc. One tile left out for the loo roll holder. SWMBO, amazingly, is quite taken with my idea for a stacking, inset loo roll holder / dispenser. She did however say to finish the rest first!

I'm pretty sure you could build a pallet shed then fill the wall (& roof) with expanding foam... Where would the vcl go? And what U value would a 4" slab of foam with 20mm timber either side have?

"Frominside" is that a wood treatment?

Welcome. Can't beat a pallet shed!

So 4 second year lads renting a house in Brighton for their second year of uni. 3 have known each other since they were tots, the 4th met the other 3 during his first year. Can't say they don't know each other. So that's NOT an HMO? I don't understand, I just pay the bills!

I wonder if there's a hybrid method feasible...EPS/XPS down low, over and below the DPC then Rockwool above.

Not if they do it themselves! Now...where's my trowel & hawk...

I've no probs wiring it up just this thread made me question whether Honeywell is wired/ported different to the Tower one in at the mo. I tell you what you can tell the quality of Honeywell compared to Tower. Streets ahead right down to the tinning on the wires and documentation. I'm a convert!

This is the one I have: Straight out of the box, not wired up and set to Auto it ports to B. Set to Man and it ports to A & B.

He says Honeywell above. I'm only asking as I've one (a Honeywell) to fit. I'm going to run it on the bench so I make bloody sure I know how it ports.

Is that a 3 way diverter valve as opposed to a mid position one? What model btw?

Same with tiling, less visible areas first...whoops!

Talking ballpark here but my external walls are an odd mixture. There's brick & block with a nom uninsulated 60mm cavity, often a mix of brick and block in the same leaf judging by what I found doing the bathroom. I think then I have a 9" block section and also a 9" brick section too. Whatever the wall construction it's all externally rendered. Not sure what's the worst but imagine one of the 9" solid walls. What nominal thickness of Rockwool should I aim for on a retro fit and what U value should I aim for? Any tables about with what U values for what wall make up? Monkey see monkey do here! Cheers

This quip from @jack deserves to be crowned champignon I think.

I simply shan't or else I'll have no fun!

Disqualified, @Big Neil had that one!

Taking serious threads like this off piste should be a criminol offence.....

So can you safely bridge the DPC with Rockwool? As in if taking any retro fit EWI down past it (the DPC) to help with cold bridging at floor level.

Some figures here:

Quorny jokes galore on here tonight!

Didn't we suggest Leyland Super Leytex? Or even the No Nonsense one.
