  1. But you're taller and cleverer! https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.newscientist.com/article/mg22730375-000-fatter-than-your-siblings-it-could-be-because-youre-older/amp/
  2. Is there any way to reduce the capacity of an installed treatment plant in the future? Say there's 4 people in the house and the kids leave. Thinking some way to reduce the volume.
  3. I'm really quite impressed with the Lidl Powerfix sealant gun. It comes with accessories including nozzles and a round plastic disc / "piston head" so instead of a tube of silicon you can load the gun with "grout" or similar. I've never used powdered tile adhesive (only the tub stuff probably 30 years ago). Wondering whether I could load the gun with some Mapei cementitious grout and pump into the gaps between my Aqua Panel?

  5. Touch and go whether it arrives before I get the tiles on...

    Bathroom lighting

    Very thin stainless body so they sit really flush. I actually bought a second set for spares. Having them in 3 pockets, along the bottom of the bath and possibly in a ring around the rainfall shower head.

    My cheapo deck lights: 30mm dia: https://www.screwfix.com/p/lap-apollo-led-deck-light-kit-polished-stainless-steel-blue-0-05w-10-pack/96379 Cheap as chips. They do some 15mm ones too.
  8. If you're going to dig a big hole what with the mess and spoil of it later now's the time to do it! Just Google "uk future water shortage".
  9. You no read op pwopery!
  10. But that'll bypass the treatment plant that he wants to keep "wet".
  11. Got a picture?
  12. Yep, just bought it.
  13. I think this will fit: https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Land-Rover-Wheel-Bearing-Special-Hub-Nut-Box-Spanner-DEFENDER-DISCOVERY-606435-/130750239660?
  14. Turmeric for joint pain. I've a bfo jar my Gurkha mate's mum grew in Nepal. Mind blowing compared to the crap we buy here. His missus made me some massala chai from all her spices brought back. Best tea I've ever had. Could actually feel it coursing through my veins! Colours were brighter and everything more vivid.
  15. Ta. Just being pedantic! Nah, trying to make as neat as possible! I make it: - 17mm long socket for the diverters - 1" socket for the cartridges - 52mm socket for the central flow control. Think 46 is the biggest I have...
  16. Be a pity to render that brickwork over the bookcases!
  17. @ProDave, does your "plasterboard" behind mimic the holes in the wall board? & Did you eventually join the holes together to make removing the cartridges easier by just taking the face plate off as @CC45 I think it was said? Cheers
  18. Don't know. Guessing not all PU sealants are made equal! Until I saw the Knauf stuff in the tube I was just going to use the Mapei tile adhesive I'd bought.
  19. How much of the Aqua Panel should I leave clear around the valve? This big rectangle or less and ditto the tiles. Thinking if it goes t!ts up and I need to break a tile out and get in there!
  20. Realised where I've gone wrong. I should have done the side panels first THEN fitted the mitre board that is slightly pissed. Could do with leaning over in the direction of the arrow a tad. The main thing is they are level and don't lean back or forward. And now of course back to filling the gap. The label on the board says to use tile adhesive with a 3-5mm gap between boards. In Wickes just now I found Knauf do a gap filling PU filler specifically for Aqua Panel. Label says to put one board up, put a line of this stuff up the edge and push the next board against it. £11 a tube mind! Can't believe there's not a cheaper PU based filler out thre that would do the same job! The ingredients: Instructions: And then the tape, £6 ish for 20m. Had forgotten about this.
  21. A non starter tbh. Just realised the panel above is SIka EBT'd to the panels lining the pocket. It's not as if we'll be slamming each other up against the shower walls in the throes of soapy passion, we'll leave that sort of thing to the newly weds!
  22. I knew early on that a floor to ceiliby height of 2470mm was going to come back and bite me on the arse! Without cutting boards I sent avoid thus piddly strip about 70mm wide. Can't have the strip at the base as v.little to screw to as the soil pipe runs behind. Still, it'll be screwed on the short edges & I'll fill the joints and tank over it.
  23. The leaflet says 30m indoor, 160m outdoors - presumably line of sight. That's their lab test distances. I know with the Bluetooth speakers just fitted I only really have to go out of the bathroom with the phone and the signal gets choppy. Probably because walls, floor and ceiling are lined with foil faces pir. 1' solid walls don't help.
  24. Short video of the switch. Not fixed, just held against a random wall:
