    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.

    3 x 3Ah batteries and the drill's 62Nm: https://www.travisperkins.co.uk/Makita-LXT-18V-Cordless-Combi-Drill-and-Impact-Driver-Twin-Pack-3-X-3-0Ah-Li-Ion-Batteries-DLX2131JX1/p/113834?

    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!
  14. Onoff
    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.
  16. Onoff
    Did that.
  17. Onoff
    I'll be watching closely so I can copy you! :) Will you drill the glass for the hinges or get the glass company to do it?
  18. Onoff
    All good. No leaks apparent so far!

    Any good? Both tools brushless and 5.0Ah batteries for not much more money: https://www.ffx.co.uk/tools/product/Makita-Dlx2221Bt2-5055945266788-18V-Lxt-2X5.0Ah-Li-Ion-Premium-Black-Brushless-Twin-Set?utm_campaign=fr-makita-browse-1&tmcv=101&tmcs=hy8ulbv&tmty=ba&utm_source=fr&utm_medium=email&tmti=1&tmtk=c34thsl&dm_i=1MRA,5JKE2,P767U3,LIEZE,1

    En suite shower back up and running, 14 soldered and 10 compression joints holding steady! Going to drag an old paddling pool into the bathroom to test the rainfall head which should prove the soldered joints I was worried about!
  21. Onoff
    Nah, good, innit? Beginners luck I reckon. Just got to sort the en suite shower when the new bar mounting kit comes, hopefully tomorrow and I can test all 25 soldered & 5 + compression joints.
  22. Onoff
    Practice makes etc:

    Where is the begrudgingly, face like a smacked arse, you're right as usual emoji? Did the new ones and went over the "old" like you said. Propane/lead free/Templars:

    So add 10 minutes cooling to the 22 minute charger and its still just over the 1/2 hour. Or 1hr10m with the cheaper charger from hot. Give me the faster charger any day!

    Brush less equals less moving parts so less to go wrong, then less friction so the battery will last longer than a brushed motor drill. But in terms of work done you'll be able to do more with the 62Nm drill. Torque is torque.
