  1. Would have been just after The Falklands yes! :)
  2. Reminds me of a pub I'd drink in as a youngster. Close boarded outside wall with a shrinkage gap between every board. Massive overhang on the dimly lit bar. If you were lucky you'd get "nuzzled" by the giant Alsatian hiding in the shadows as you ordered a round. Broke my heart when they did the place and knocked the two bars into one.
  3. At it's simplest the QU WP2 is a 2-gang IP67 switch so one gang for the LED strip and the other for the vanity lights maybe? Same 1-gang picture for the 2-gang for some reason! https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/tcl/search?query=quinetic+ip67&Submit=Search (I reckon you could plastic prime and dust with a paint to suit the decor. Wish though they did an IP67 dimmer switch range!) The QU R323 is a 2-channel 6A receiver - cheaper than two separate receivers. https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/QUR323.html
  4. Liking the idea of an LED lit trim either side of the mitre. Need to be able to replace the strip and make watertight against the tiles either side. Any ideas?
  5. I see da light! Mesh & parge coat maybe?

    Pics don't do them justice really: Look a bit "starry" here but they're really not. I just like Aurora stuff anyway so am probably biased.
  7. Moot point. The assumption is it get finished in that time...
  8. LED strips I might have been impressed...
  9. Whatever...mojo lost again.
  10. You could design your own fancy vent cover and give a .dxf to a laser or water jet cutting place.
  11. In theory you could slit Celotex to get the curve and fill with low expansion foam. THEN cover with bendy pb. Sort of thing I'd do just to see if I could...

  13. Erm...the mitre IS exactly one tile wide.
  14. Like this. A bit misleading as there'll not be rips in the photo up the lhs mosaic. The mosaics will start after two tiles from the mitre:
  15. Ain't gonna happen. Will look fugly as. Aka I'll learn by my mistakes!
  16. Very rough plan is: - Tile saw set up and test - Rubi cutter set up - Correx the floor - Prime 4 tiles high - Spread right to left window and wc walls - Butter tiles vertically - Push tile on - Spacers - Do 4 rows, drilling for shower outlet and cutting around flush plate and 3-way valve - Stop - BEER
  17. I didn't even know you could do this do thanks. I assume there's a charge? (I want to convert out hip ends to gables but the previous owner already had their 50% increase or whatever it is 30 years ago. I started to read up on permitted development and it talks about "not if it increases the volume by X").
  18. The thing with the (optional) gauge coming out of it. You can turn off at the stop cock, unscrew and clean the gauze / mesh filter thing.
  19. Crud in the pressure reducing valve? Does fiddling with that make any difference? Have you got a pressure gauge on it to see? Think that's our issue here. Job for the next week or so to sort that. Right behind the downstairs cloak wc.....kids with bad aim etc!

    Yes, E5 8W in the ceiling and a 4.5W in the cupboard on a door switch. I wanted cool white and expected SWMBO to kick off and want warm white but she loves them as do I. Easy to fit and loop in/out spring loaded terminals. The eldest lad reckons they're a bit bright for him when he's lying in the bath. When I fit the Quinetic dimmer he can dim them down! Got mine here: https://www.ledbulbs.co.uk/enlite-e8-8w-fixed-dimmable-fire-rated-led-downlight-cool-white
  21. Received with thanks. Went to sleep last night reading about the Norwegian Powerhouse building standard. Going to read every page! Cheers.

    Feature lighting or main downlights? I've gone Aurora Enlite for the downlights and cheap seats (LAP) for the pocket lights but bought a second kit for spares and made sure it's all accessible for replacing. The LED strip alongside the bath is an eBay special.
  23. Thanks. Tbh getting consistent lines either side of the mitre is my biggest worry. I think as a focal point that is the make or break whether this looks a good job. I'm going to knock up another angle and extend the "Cheapchecker" under the window tonight. If I then go a course at a time I can do the whole of the wc and window walls encompassing the wet room corner and pockets. - MUST NOT FORGET TO PRIME WALLS - MUST NOT FORGET TO PRIME WALLS - MUST NOT FORGET TO PRIME WALLS
  24. You could get the aluminium vents powdercoated as one option. If you replace them with "whatever" and have concerns over reaction between the two then tape the rear of the vent so it doesn't come into contact with the screen.
