Solder? It's a non starter: It'll end up like this: I found there were bad bits and REALLY bad bits. I bought the proper, best make, MDPE to iron adapters but it was just too far gone. No g'tee the bit you're looking at isn't the worst bit. If you "bury" that under footings etc you are asking for trouble. Sorry, I know it's a bitch of a problem. Mine was under a concrete path alongside the house that had to come up but that was on my land etc.

Don't pi$$ about, replace the pipe. I had exactly the same issue. Tried fixing one leak in the iron - that failed, replaced one bit in MDPE and couldn't get a decent joint to the remaining iron. Then another leak etc. Spent a small fortune on fittings too (you don't need the kebab ) :

Using a few odd spanners around the bathroom I wanted to keep them together before they go back in their respective leccy, plumbing bags etc. I took small comfort in upcycling this:

Let me take my time thinking of a response...

That seemed to work and goes on the same colour as in the Geberit video! Seemed "smeary" enough too. Holding the membrane up with a bit of duct tape to keep it out of the way. Maybe a mm over but I can live with that. So in theory, once dry, the membrane folds out and gets similarly "smeared" over/on.

I'd have done it for £1M and in half the time...

I'll make a lockable guide that I'll slide up the (dead vertical) 100 x 100 steel post so I can't go wrong. I'll also make a "Bricky" esque thing so all my mortar joints are equal and there's very little if any waste or stuff going down inside the pillar.

Ta. When I used the tile adhesive to fill the Aqua Panel joints I just poured some water in a bucket and mixed by hand with a trowel. Seemed to go OK. Would "whisking" it with the paddle mixer make it go "creamier"?

Did you volunteer?

Love the understatement! Any pics?

How do you install, tractor pto?

How about a nice cantilevered shed with NO SUPPORTS? Glass box overlooking the stream. All very GD!

I've got a very small trowel...

So I'm at about the 3m 50s stage in the video. Feels to me that whatever they're trowelling on is more of a sticky, plaster like "creamy" product than the Mapei tile adhesive I've just used?

I half considered running a couple of lines of Fischer FIS V 360S resin down the channel and levelling off.

Google "shed on slope". Lots of ideas there under Images.

This bit, my exotic SBR, pea shingle mix was laid April 1 2018. That's yesterday in my book!

Ta. No, no slc here. Does the concrete channel need priming with anything before the tile adhesive gets smeared in?

The Geberit wall drain... Falls are good but I'd like to make good a shallow "channel" where the angle former sat. Maybe 2mm deep. The blue membrane folds out and gets stuck down to the concrete. It's worked out good tbh. Would a smear of tile adhesive suffice?

I'll remember that. My one often cruds up with limescale and overflows.

So do you need non return valves on the mains in to the header to stop the rainwater back feeding into the mains?

So the 20mm high trannie will sit in his 25mm space? How warm does the trannie get? Are there any manufacturer's instructions as to clearances?

Sounds good. Don't suppose you have a picture of something like that?

I've gotten as far as building the gate that slides in and out albeit by hand at the moment. I've trialled the motor and rack & pinion drive but have not fitted it yet permanently as I'm remotely siting the control board. I want to take advantage of the periodic deals Travis Perkins offer on bricks for the pillars. Shown mocked up in blocks here. As the pillars will be part set in the banks either side is there a frost proof rating to look for? Ideally I'd like to get away with having a dpc in the column or if I must then get the footing bricks to match those above. Thinking maybe do the whole thing in an engineering brick?
