Cheers. I'll leave it at this for now. I'll do a bit of a survey showing boundaries and the road etc and put it to the collective here for comment. Thanks again.

This is what happens when you lend your tools and your mate uses all the consumables! Anyone point me at a decent source for staples for this staple gun: Looked at the Tacwise ones in the S'fix catalogue but no exact sizes given. I've been having no luck searching "staple size equivalents" online. Cheers

I think I discussed this way back. Jeremy, @JSHarris, suggested it might have an "open" bottom. I presume then the "liquid" just permeates (and pollutes) the soil and the solids eventually back up. A rodding and hosing seemed to clear it but I'm not confident long term. I don't even know where the access manhole for it is. I'll maybe start another thread but does your plant require a power supply? Are there any that don't need power? Cheers

Hmm... Just been lifting manhole covers in the undergrowth and rodding the clay soil run to the "cess pit". Have noted a whiff of sewage of late. Trouble is I've only a rough idea of where the cess pit is / what area it covers. "Over there" is my best guess. SWMBO seems to consider it a bottomless pit that never needs emptying! Might be the next big job, some form of proper treatment plant...pun intended. Unexpected ££££

Just waiting for the foam to go off:

I did exactly that. Managed to get a meter length down the duct & over the 25mm MDPE: Traditional build mind:

It's crap on leaking hydraulics!

How about a plastic "spider"? Could you cut out of flexible plastic and maybe mount the camera on it using a stuffing gland? The spiders "legs" will spring back and forth as required.

Just read through it. So have you not got 150mm vertical epdm coming up everywhere at the base?

Erm...the pics etc are on your other thread I take it?

Zinc?

Nowadays I'd be affixing a temporary batten cut at the appropriate angle and running the grinder along with a stone disc or diamond blade in for that perfect slot!

Back on topic I remember the first time I attempted apply flashing to a polycarbonate roof where it abutted a pebble dashed wall. All the gear and no idea! I seem to recall I cut a wobbly slot with a Kango 100/115mm grinder...which killed it. I then attempted to fit that self adhesive flashing and feed the edge into the slot which I then siliconed in. Not pretty!

I thought that was your chat up line?

Same bloke did your roof?

Absolutely nothing wrong with chasing horizontally between sockets. Not just the shortest route but saves on cable. Come down (or up) vertical to the first, go horizontal between a line of sockets then back up / down from the last one. Position first & last so it misses the cupboard fixing points. Not sure what the issue is you mean.

Talking to a Gurkha friend. His house in Nepal was destroyed in the earthquake so he's rebuilding. A 1000sq foot building and a 500sq foot one as regs there wouldn't allow 1500sq foot as one building. Single storey buildings. Involves lots of rebar now and subject to official inspections. Total cost £25K A good brickie in the village is about £7 or 8 a day but you'll pay double that in town!

Ta.Tbh this is a very draughty corner. The bathroom being a two wall extension , where the mixer is on is a brick cavity that "joins" the solid wall in the corner to the left. I don't think wall starters were used or even now how / if it was keyed in. Cut nails probably! I was even thinking about doing the vcl right into the corner AND across the face of the ply mitre piece. Maybe I'd be better though leaving that triangular void a bit air leaky from the corner to vent it a bit? Can't be a lot gets through all that pir & foam though? There'll only be one pipe penetration where the handset feed is and of course a big hole in the vcl for the mixer.

Bump. Anyone any thoughts on which way to go with this? Cheers

Easier to see on the model but I strongly suspect I might need wings, doors etc similar. Tbh my whole wet room corner gives more than a nod to Nick's photo. Trialling the rainfall head the other day and I reckon I could be getting the towels on the rail under the window wet and possibly even the loo. Difficult to tell. I'd always half anticipated the need and the plan was to have (short?) fixed "wings" CT1'd to the floor coming off of the mosaic lines. Curved would be really nice but £££ I suspect.

NEVER!

Why not?

Thrifty! One little bit to infill when the foam "wasp's nest" goes off (long story). Then foil (baking) over the plain foam bits, vcl, Aqua Panel...I guess.
