I reckon they just can't be ar$ed using Compriband. Window fitters are notorious for this sort of thing. Whatever's quickest!

Sounds b@llocks to me. I'd insist Compriband is fitted however rough the Durisol is. It'll stick to the window & take up the bulk of the gap and you can foam the edges if necessary afterwards. I've used both on two successive retrofit DG windows (foam on the first, Compriband on the secoond) and the Compriband is far superior to foam imo.

If only I'd picked an easily led one, we could have been living in a caravan on site now for the last ** years!

F**cking hope not! I thought that's what flexible adhesive was for on a concrete floor. Isn't decoupling mat a must if your tiling say a ply topped floor?

I'll gladly swap my 7.72Mbps down / 0.83Mbps up for some heating oil!

I can feel a mini project coming on...

Laminate here. If it were my choice it would have been reclaimed scaffold boards and/or cast concrete.

Just come across this which seems quite handy: Pipe Sizes and Dimensions Chart

It's only the vertical section after the two 135o bends that is outside and the two (slopes) to the drain. The higher horizontal sections are within the hip roof. The blue "L" bit of pipe on the sketch comes from the existing upstairs ensuite - currently white push fit at 41mm (bought I guess as 1 1/2") outside dia. I can look to replace that in solvent weld easy enough. What I haven't shown, though you can see it in the photos on the last post, is the upstairs ensuite basin waste that comes, in 35mm outside dia, (bought I guess as 1 1/4") push fit, from under the 9"x 6" supporting the dormer walls. For now that has to stay in plastic so I need to go from that into the tee of the 50mm solvent weld but guessing I need a rubber "bung" of some sort.

I do mine with the cordless angle grinder,. That's a prettier result though!

Back up in the loft..... Amongst other things I need to get rid of the mass of bodged sink & basin waste pipes. Before anyone suggests it I will not be taking them into the newly re-routed grey soil via solvent weld bosses! Thinking on these lines in 50mm solvent weld: Slight concern where it comes down the wall and meets the bath waste at the tee. That "MIN" dimn might in fact be zero with the fittings butting up to each other. Does it look OK?

I had one where you made an alginate mould of whatever you wanted to copy then poured plaster of Paris into it.

Tell me about it...

Steady on! I'm going to start small with a coffee table! Been looking on eBay at getting some resin...not sure what!

I think you should make a lava stone one:

Keep 'em connected. Just 'cos an electrical installation is done to a previous edition doesn't mean it's inherently unsafe. A lot to be said for bonding imo. Do you have a separate "main earth terminal" near the consumer unit screwed to the back board with various green and yellow "circuit protective conductors" terminating. Something like this. We're going down a whole new rabbit hole here btw!

SE England? SWMBO's said she'll look after it for £18K!

The yellow/green wires are to do with equipotential bonding. It relates to the likely fact your electrical installation is of a particular age. Under current regulations the bonding requirements have lessened IF certain other criteria are met. (You might remember earlier I mentioned as to whether that kitchen double socket was part of a ring main and whether it had RCD protection). The only person who can tell you what's what on this is a man on the ground in the form of a bona fide electrician coming in to do an EICR - Electrical Inspection Condition Report. We're pissing in the dark trying to judge from crap photos to some extent. Is the wire from the incoming stop cock thicker than the others?

Buy it. It is the mutt's nuts. It's the one I bought for work. Smoother than a fresh jar of Skippy as Bruno Mars would say. So quiet you can have a normal conversation whilst welding.

Nom: Oil 2K Leccy 1K Poll Tax 2.5K So about £5.5K + mortage +water+..... :)

FFS the other water jet place want £198 inc VAT. Bit of a difference to £60. They can FO!

Gut feel is that the mice might be getting into the cavity somewhere then coming inside thru that bfo hole as it looks well sealed outside. Always unpleasant. That will need blocking up with a carefully bolstered lump of brick NOT FOAM! You could even break up a glass bottle when you mix your mortar up to fit the brick. Mind your fingers! (A lot of the old places down here have an over site of broken glass before a weak floor slab went down). Mice can get thru a hole the diameter of a pencil. Those pipes thru the close fitting holes in the cupboard back panel probably did you a favour! Is the floor there concrete? Are the rest of the floors concrete or suspended timber floors? Have a bloody good clean up / disinfect. Block the hole up then take stock.
