    Ta. Are the fans a matched pair in terms of lpm?
  2. Onoff
    A bit of dpm and duct tape might be stronger?

    How did you trigger it: pull cord, humidistat, occupancy sensor etc?
  5. Onoff
    Identical to the one in my opening post!

    Is there an ideal size on this twinwall polycarb (Coroplast) stuff? I think I can get some 16mm for free.

    I dip into some American, DIY solar forums and if anything they tend to use banks of RV batteries. Of course a good few are talking about Tesla. They're also big into building giant, insulated tank, thermal stores heated via solar thermal. I guess many have the space. Their homebrew panels never seem that efficient a design but they are again massive!

    @Nickfromwales, sorry, should have tagged you on this question: CT1 or Sikaflex EBT or standard silicon to bed this into the worktop as it doesn't have any clips? Cheers

    ...and the time!

    Doing everything internally would have meant a clean wall for me. Would have even have had knock on benefits when it comes to re-rendering this back wall. Btw, the above is tidy compared to how it looks now!

    You're on a hiding to nothing messing with old pipe. Mine was worse in some respects being iron. So rusty as fast as I tried to repair it it sprung another leak. There are some superb (expensive) Plasson fittings that will go from copper/iron/lead to MDPE but even they failed as my pipe was so rough. Everyone on here told me to replace the pipe but I must have done £50+ on bits before I got the message. With lead, change it if only for your health!

    Refurbing...there is no mid point and no foreseeable end. This is pretty much where I am now:

    I had a chance to hide mine but didn't know enough about the subject to do so! I tbh didn't even fully grasp the concept of cold bridging. I was a slow realisation what I COULD have done ? Would have made future EWI easier and more effective. Got to a point a little while ago when I perhaps could have ripped out some of what I've done to bring the wastes inside but I decided against it.

    Looks great. I must say I love your rug!

    Isn't down and out under the thermal envelope the best? (Talking with hindsight! )

    £50 for 5L at Selco!!! At least your link offers 2.5L but the same £/L. What's the next best?
  17. Onoff
    5L sitting in the Selco basket! What white would you suggest as a top coat in the bathroom? Wipeable I suppose?
  18. Onoff
    5l should do me? https://www.selcobw.com/leyland-trade-super-leytex-matt-paint-brilliant-white-5-ltr

    Cheers. I've just gone over it all with the Mirka hand sander tbh. Figured give it a bit of a key for the paint. Though the vac has got most of the dust will any residue effect the Easi-fill taking?
  20. Onoff
    Good to know. It's supposed to be quite good. People have been comparing it to the Mirka electric one which is loadsa money! I've an Aldi opening near me soon. So I'll pass Lidl first then Aldi. That'll be more tat I can't resist!
  21. Onoff
    I'n very impressed with the Mirka hand sander you attach to a vacuum cleaner btw. Expensive at £36 but you can sand overhead and it's nigh on dustless: https://www.toolstation.com/shop/p86220? YES, I know getting a proper spread in would have meant no sanding but it's really very little.

    Tiling deffered due to car troubles. I put off doing SWMBO's clutch as I might have use of a two post lift to do it. Find out tomorrow. For the meantime she can use my Golf. Today I had to replace the n/s window regulator on that as it had eaten one of the wires that drive the mechanism. Just the rear wash wipe, exhaust & front suspension to do. I bloody hate old cars! I'd have a company car all day long and pay the tax for the convenience.
  23. Onoff
    2 beers in I'm going to have a go!
  24. Onoff
    Ta. Never used it mind. Presume you can mix up small quantities like good old Polyfilla?
  25. Onoff
    Back on thread! All nice and dry after a week. I'm really quite pleased for a first attempt. It's NOT perfect but imo pretty good. If I want to fill the odd little patch that's a bit low as in a couple of inches square, should I just mix up some multi and smear it on or use some of this I bought? Any need to pva beforehand?
