Onoff

No option to redrill the tray for a bigger trap? With something like my patented double Starrett adapter? Could do 50 to 89mm no problem. Not sure if you can get a 90mm Starrett.

Well, a bit more done. I used up all my offcuts of vcl. More of a nod to reducing draughts than anything else. I gave up with attempting true air tightness what with the multiple ceiling penetrations anyway. Everything will be sealed "best as": Maybe I'll pressure test the towel rad piping tomorrow and start getting the Aqua Panels on. Gave in to the call of the mild tonight...well some generic lager anyway.

I know my Irish forebears were called bog warriors but I have no wish to join their ranks! If nothing else it seems sensible to maybe find it, define the area and maybe fence it off even.

Well thanks to @newhome's sleuthing the Tacwise 140/8mm staples work fine. The odd miss but that was trying to fire into hard ply. Only thing is they're too long a strip to fit the Lidl stapler so have to be snapped in half.

Not as confused as when SWMBO asked the teen something girl behind the bar for a Pernod & black last year on holiday. She went and asked her couple of years older colleague and so it went on. They eventually discovered a dust covered bottle estimating it was 3 years since anyone has asked for it.

In the last picture above, the brass 15 to 16 elbow is within the wall.

Not at all. We've some nicely managed lawn areas etc but the cess pool is in the deliberately left "wild" bit.

I believe HiKOKI are to launch a range of safety footwear too. You put your right foot in...

Will do. Debating a petrol strimmer / brushcutter and possibly even a small chainsaw to assist in finding the cess pit!

I need to pressure test the 16mm Pex-Al-Pex loop I've put in for the towel radiator before I board it all over. As discussed an age ago this will be fed from an eventual manifold. The pipes come around the wall then there's a 15 to 16mm compression elbow onto a bit of CHROMED pipe: This is the detail, obviously substituting chromed pipe for the copper: I was just going to bridge, with push fits and a length of pipe between the chrome tails in the first picture then expose it all to my 8bar mains pressure via my DIY gauge. Seem to recall a potential issue with Hep2O on chrome pipes as in blowing off?

I wonder if there'll be some Hitachi deals coming up where sellers offload "old" Hitachi branded stock? I remember there were some cracking deals on the old, heavy, blue AEG quality stuff when it got bought out by the Chinese and came back orange. Or maybe the Hitachi labelled stuff will command a premium?

Might be worth keeping an eye on FFX this week. They're having their "Magnificent 7" promotion. It was DeWalt yesterday, Bosch today. Guessing it'll be Makita somewhere along the line. https://www.ffx.co.uk/tools/Mag7/~/1/0

Opened a new TS catalogue, saw a full page ad for power tools called HiKOKI and thought how much they looked like Hitachi. Figured it was some low end Erbauer / Einhell type rip off until I read the text. Seems Hitachi are rebranding as HiKOKI. Have to wonder why. Apparently they will continue to support the old models in terms of spares etc and batteries will still fit. Makes more sense maybe than Makita with their G Series range that's incompatible with the LXT range.

Cheers Looks like Tacwise 140 Series is the size. T'station tomorrow then. I think you should be appointed the forum's "Chief Person Who Finds Obscure Sh!t"

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?
