My bathroom is just a dummy run. Come the Lotto win it's all being bulldozed! -

Once you get the nice new light up you'll forget all about it! -

I think you should make a 1/10 scale model of your kitchen like I did: Then, change your mind on the positioning of some key elements not fully taking into account how it affects other areas and have to solve issues of your own making on the fly... ...like I did! -
@zoothorn, I don't mean any offence but I really struggle understanding some (most) of your posts with their strange abbreviations etc. I have to ask are you actually English by birth?

The fact that the lights are removable from the cable via a plug socket connection is a bonus. The cabling used on the pre wired IP6* is horrible stuff to strip. Buy a pack of 10, use 4 & have 6 spares.

How to get this excess tile adhesive off? First thought is the multi tool, blade level with the bottom of the tile, sharp bolster. That though, will cut into the tanking membrane. Do so then re tank?

Interesting how when tiling what you do on one wall can impact another so much! My "focus" was on the bath being the focal point so I have a tile horizontal about the centre line of the pocket: I knew I'd end up with a sliver under the window but figured the towel rad will take the eye off of this: However.....with hindsight..... I'm sure I'd meant to have the flush plate dead centre of 4 tiles! But then that doesn't work with the tile being centre to the bath. Tricky this! The only issue now is its a full tile to the ceiling then a sliver about 11/2". Debating whether to mask this with a mosaic line all the way around?

@JSHarris, do you rate the Salus stuff, just saw your thread mention the Salus UFH actuator. Looking for an alternative to the Honeywell 28mm mid position valve that's mega bucks. Saw this: https://www.toolstation.com/shop/p24643? @Nickfromwales, Salus in your book? Not sure where they're made...

What if you've just got a huge, allegedly bottomless pit in the garden and you've only got a rough idea where it is? -

"Whatever, I'd just connect the new light to the connector block and be done with it". Read that statement again. Would suggest keeping the connector block wouldn't it? Is there room in the new fitting to hide the connector block? Post some shots of the new light fitting pls. -
Place I've used for over 30 years. I'm fact it was the need for a piece of open mesh flooring that led me to them in the first place: http://www.pwnash.co.uk/Prod-6a.htm

Reckon I'll be returning this Lidl drill for a refund. Having to pull the trigger "just right" to get it to go. This is the replacement for the first that didn't sound right. As said above fwd sounded ok but not reverse. Just sounds like it's farting when it runs now and loads of sparks visible through the casing.

The line follows around the whole room so it'd mean cutting loads I can't recall tbh whether I stuck all the "tops" in with Sikaflex EBT or not. Hopefully just the leading edge. If so they should multi tool out fairly easily.

All three are!

Tonight's faux pas! I'm about 6mm out on the pocket height. Not yet sure how that happened until I look at the CAD and do a post mortem. Best I can do I'm thinking is hack out the 12.5mm thick Aqua Panel and replace with some 6mm thick of the same then re tank.

Finding I don't hate tiling now. It's all sort of coming together now. I'm not panicking for a start! Got half a system of cut a load first. Very little waste so far. Found out the hard way not to use bucket water from a previous mix to knock up fresh adhesive! Got away with it but a bit harder to work with.

I don't know tbh. Existing one is 28mm. It's 28mm from the boiler then to the pump, then to the AB port. A port is 28mm reducing to 22mm then teeing to the two 2-ports. The B port goes to the coil in the cylinder in 28mm. Edit: Just realised then this drawing is drawn wrong! It's deffo 28mm in / out of the cylinder as is the return after the balancing gate valve. I drew this years back from the hand drawn suppliers sketch in with the boiler bumpf. Never actually checked it matches what was there!

Why are Honeywell so much more expensive then than Tower? Like three times the price. Are the seals around the spindle better maybe as it's where it seems to be leaking on this Tower one I think rather than the compression fittings.

I've replaced micro switches on these valves in the past. Something else too...capacitors? So I think I need a V4073A1088: https://www.honeywelluk.com/products/valves/motorised-valves/V4073A-Motorised-Midposition-Diverter-Valve/ Whoa! How much??? They're pricey!
