New build - heat and energy considerations

What's the technique, wait till she opens her mouth and shove the ear plugs in still in the bag? -

Just get some ale in, they can here someone crack a tin open from about 600 miles! A Batman esque rooftop signal that projects the image of a pie/Tunnocks tea cake into the night sky has the same calling effect. :) -
Just hoping I don't have to do it where I forgot to back butter the tiles on the floor of the wet room corner!
-
I've used the multitool diamond blade to run down the grout lines and then the chisel blade to take of the excess on the tile back / wall floor.

I was only joking.....though there are certain car parks in Sevenoaks where the attendants escort me to somewhere out of view!
-
Yeah but it's f**king embarrassing when you go to pick stuff up from fellow Buildhubbers and you park it in front of their posh house!

Bought my MK1 Focus estate off a mate as pure workhorse. Ghia spec so a bit of comfort on long runs and a not too shabby 138bhp. Roof rack on top, sorted the suspension and it did masses of work. Had to retire it due to tin worm. Got the new sills etc and it's on the to do list some time after the bathroom!

How apt! adjective showing very poor judgement; unwise. "I took a few injudicious swigs of potent cider" -

I won't join in and suggest a Sunamp could be heated by a menopausal woman. Do they have a hot air input? "Face Change Material" -

I think I've hit the manopause... -
My experience is a bit different! As much to do with "new" felt being laid over old and it rouching up forming horizontal barriers to the run off. Joins are bad too, where they have butted pieces together rather than overlapping. FA slope mind.

Might give you some comfort for the future even if it's "wrong": "It shows excellent adhesion to the substrate, high flexibility, high resistance to weathering, as well as UV resistance. It shows high resistance to standing water, thus it can be used on flat roofs without particularly good slopes". https://isomat-pu-systems.com/solutions/waterproofing-conventional-flat-roof-polyurethane-liquid-membrane/ Post up the membrane system make and the peeps on here will be lining up to read the tech spec and comment!

Is there anything in the tech spec for the liquid membrane that says about minimum falls? You might do well to have a look at Approved Document Part H based on this I found: http://www.roofconsult.co.uk/articles/bauder.htm The building regs are statutory so there's really no dispute that would require an independent surveyor imo. You can download from here: https://www.planningportal.co.uk/info/200135/approved_documents/71/part_h_-_drainage_and_waste_disposal As said if it's been done well, allows smooth run off etc maybe it'll be ok. I'd try and get BC on your side asap to add weight if you decide to delay payment. Maybe even try and work a hefty discount to offset future issues if it fails or some written g'tee from the builder for the expected life of the roof. (I feel your pain btw. Our flat roofs on the dormers have exactly this issue).

Most I think including me squidge the sink down on a thick bead of mastic, tighten the sink clamps on the underside then baby wipe the Hell out of it so it's all gone. You haven't done where the worktop butts up to the pb yet have you? -

How about a white UPVC trim strip like this to match the sink: https://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-PVCu-White-Cloaking-Profile-45-x-2500mm/p/162621 Bed it on clear silicon and baby wipe the excess off. You can also get it in woodgrain effect. -

You're making a habit of this thinking you can't, moaning like f**k about it, then coming out the other side finding you can do it and pretty damn well too! Have faith! To apply a neat mastic bead I use old empty mastic tubes and a very weak solution of Fairy liquid. I'll try and do a little video. -

Not to detract ftom zoot's thread but snapped the humerous off the elbow and broken the elbow as well. Pre existing brittle bones and circulatory issues. Fingers crossed....not that he can! -

I raised my L shaped worktop formed of two pieces on little blocks atop the cabinet carcasses. This enabled me to get the clamps on to squeeze everything together whilst the glue dried. When dry I removed the blocks and lowered the now glued worktop onto the carcasses. -

No bfo clamps like this? If it will all bend flat under pressure using clamps, I'd be trying to keep the clamps on whilst the strong glue dries with the ply plates AND biscuits in place. -

Could it be that Osmo'ing the top "sealed" it. If the underside is then open to moisture in the air could that then expand and bow the top? -
Cheers. Something like this then: Just boosted the HW tonight with both 2 ports off and that first rad on the downstairs single pipe run after the 2 port got really quite warm. Must be bypassing? Last rad on the single pipe system is stone cold.
