Just for that you can't have a ride on my scissor lift!

In Kent the majority are quite svelte when young in order to attract the males. Then they start salad dodging & let themselves go...

Ahem...

Pretty sure adders eat smaller snakes including their own. We see in order of frequency slow worms, grass snakes then adders. I've seen a couple of whoppers (adders) down here at least 2' long and that's not a fisherman's tale Guaranteed if I lift the compost tarp there'll be a hiss and an invariably large grass snake. Luckily we don't live along Regents Canal or in Wales: https://www.froglife.org/info-advice/amphibians-and-reptiles/aesculapian-snake/

Neither. It's razor sharp and wavy:

I hadn't thought of adding sounds to it...thanks! https://youtu.be/ay7FwOKNp6M

Bacho make one which I've got. Don't find it that accurate tbh.

Yep same area. Small world. Hugely impressive seeing the snakes swimming looking for frogs. Slow worms are indeed legless lizards. We get some big ones about 18" long. If you look carefully you can see "bumps", the remnants of legs. They have vestigal pelvic and shoulder blades too. They crap over you too and shed part of their tail if you (or the cat) grab it. Always makes me laugh the best way to check if it's an adder is to check if it has a vertical pupil (V,' vertical = viper). The adder is also known as the Northern Viper. Like I'm going to get that close! We just tell the kids to come and get us if they see any sort of "snake".

The adders ate them all!

My neighbour came over with this one. He wasn't sure if it was an adder as we get them too. Adder Bank Shaw off Wrotham hill?

Reared up at me like a cobra it did! OK maybe not quite but he was feisty:

Tbh the hot wire cutter I dabbled with seemed to cut the foil layers either side OK along with the PIR itself.

Thinking... Turn on the shower valve for the rainfall head. Flow to the head operates a 15mm flow switch, one of these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/332534595956? The flow switch is used to trigger the scissor lift mechanism to lower the rainfall head AND brings on a ring of LEDs around the head.

Some sellers seem a bit crafty saying solid copper "over spline" for strength. The spline being plastic I think.

Kin'Ell? Don't they make cheap power tools? Seriously I feel your pain. Out of interest, one for @PeterStarck, what's cutting icynene like "health" wise, itchy, streaming eyes, coughing? Does it smell like board type PIR and de-gas over time?

Love the general finish plus the symmetry through the doors looking at the bed and stove with the ridge line.

That's a Surrey flange imo. The lower pipe will be the hot feed to to shower pump. I think. There's little mesh filters on my shower pump. Also in the bar mixer valve.

Because of all the habitual voyeurs? EDIT: That's odd, must be my writing style but it seems to fit the Parklife music. You weren't drinking the same Polish beer that I was last night? "SWMBO informs me she doesn't add "blue" stuff to the cistern but sometimes bleach. She CLEANS the bowls and adds blue stuff there. I was informed of this with the hint that I might try cleaning the loos occasionally. Amazing, I always thought a fairy did it! All the peopleSo many peopleThey all go hand in handHand in hand through their parklife"

Suitably admonished!

That's cheap CCA - copper clad aluminium. I'd go for pure copper.

Cheers. But...I won't be buying one! SWMBO informs me she doesn't add "blue" stuff to the cistern but sometimes bleach. She CLEANS the bowls and adds blue stuff there. I was informed of this with the hint that I moight try cleaning the loos occasionally. Amazing, I always thought a fairy did it! So I'm thinking a tube (not 20mm conduit of course) coming up from a boss: That pokes thru the timber and comes out thru the tile somehow where there's a little removable cap. I'd probably have something spun out of 316 stainless (rather than a Cobra cap):

Quite impressed with the Parkside sabre saw blade from Lidl. The long bi-metal one went through the 6mm Goldscrews with relative ease and didn't destroy the blade! A quick multi tool run across the front guided by a screwed on batten and out the piece comes: How do you add those tablets(?) to the cistern on a Geberit? Seems a huge faff to have to take off and do it through the flush plate! I was thinking I could add a "dosing" tube from the pocket shelf into the top of the cistern. Much like I've done with the odour take off pipe:

Waiting for 110mm soil fitting to re-jig things in the loft so I can do the shower feeds. Thought I'd do the 3rd pocket. To the left of the one with the glue bottles on. Directly above the Geberit wc frame, the studs either side are at about 505mm between faces. The Aqua Panel (on 9mm ply) has to be lowered along the cut line (scissors) and the timber the calculator and tape are sitting on lowered & reinstated. That timber is affixed with x2 6x100 screws either end and Gorilla glue. It WON'T I'm sure come out without a fight. This came about as we'd not decided on the tile layout or even how many pockets or where. A bit of pb one side and Aqua Panel off cut the other, I need to pack either side out by nom 40mm. I've some lengths of 140x20 softwood found stored in the garage roof space which I'm going to use as packing on some battens. Must be over 20 years old. As dry as a bone but no apparent rot and straight as a die. I didn't really want to but will give these a coat of clear wood preserver before the "box" I make from them goes in.

Please do. Pretty sure you were going to look for me one time.

@Nickfromwales will be along shortly!
