  1. I have to sometimes unscrew the hose from the mixer then let it run "full blast". On occasions I have to do this then stick my thumb over the outlet and let it run/out thumb over it/repeat...then it'll come hot.
  2. This thread on similar lines:
  3. @ash132, whereabouts are you?
  4. I thought it'd make a change from the usual beer bottle, can or glass...
  5. Photos don't do the lights justice. For £4.99 for the 10, IP6* I'm well happy. Need to twist each fitting when finally in so the 3 LEDs in each are all orientated the same way ref the spread.

    Flint work

    Loved this build from the start. The traditional solidity coupled with modern wall techniques. The flint makes it though. Just gets better. I'm going to copy this if my numbers come up Saturday!
  7. At least the two corner pockets are level! 3rd pocket tomorrow hopefully. Going to loosely put the blue lights in to see how they look. This bearing in mind they're (cheap) deck lights not proper downlights. Pita having two different pocket depths. Not much in it but going to position from the back face of the pocket so that hopefully the light arcs will look symmetrical either side of the mitre.
  8. Take away pizza (vegetarian hot), & two large bottles of Tiger. Just sat down and Thunderbirds Are Go is on the telly from 1966 followed by The Day After Tomorrow. That's my Friday evening sorted! ?
  9. Using up the PIR offcuts recently that have sat in the stable and shed for ages and I've not suffered from the streaming eyes. Maybe it's "de-gassed" over time?
  10. This thread I started?
  11. I have one of these bought for the thick stuff: https://www.screwfix.com/p/bahco-insulation-saw-22-560mm-/7498K? But tbh I mainly use one of these. Makes sawdust but deadly accurate: https://www.celotex.co.uk/products/insulation-saw For trimming gun foam I use an old bread knife.
  12. Fair enough! I'd still be cautious of being an early adopter of stuff. I had Cable & Wireless cable years ago and the phone would frequently be out of service. Failed one day in an emergency situation and I went back to BT. Imo the guy who looked over the fence will have just been a salesman, on commission just interested in drumming up business.
  13. Agreed, a couple of other points to consider...
  14. Some worrying comments about them in FB: (Not that I'm on or ever will be in FB just to note). https://m.facebook.com/TrueSpeedInternetService/reviews?locale2=en_GB + https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2018/01/truespeed-attempt-best-bt-200mbps-guaranteed-broadband-speed.html
  15. How wide out of interest is the garage door? Something else on my wish list!
  16. 1st pic doesn't do it for me. Like the 3rd pic though.
  17. Too late...I'd drink it not sell it...
  18. Yep, ran out last night so need to revisit to achieve the max 200mm ctrs Knauf recommend.
  19. Not sure I like Aqua Panel... For small, intricate bits like these pockets it's dusty, a bit like working with /cutting PIR. Makes you cough. Reminds me of dusty, crushed glass. Thin strips seem to want to crack. (Big pieces are fine to fit). Two out of three pockets done at least and EBT'd & screwed in place. I rushed the deeper one on the left last night and have a bit of a bulge in the right hand side. The mosaic will need a sliver off to fit. On the shallow pocket on the right hand side the wall behind the pocket tapers. There's a finger thickness gap one side between the back of the Aqua Panel and face of the PIR, tapering to nothing on the right hand side.
  20. I have a load here... ...bought a few years ago... ...yet to fit oddly enough...
  21. I had a bit of an email exchange with Prof Alex Seifalian a while back when I had some ideas on using cell proteins as bio inks for 3D printing scaleable organ scaffolds etc rather than re-seeding cadaver parts. (The US researchers I contacted were a bit more aloof). https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/science/2016/dec/12/leading-uk-university-launches-inquiry-into-links-with-work-of-controversial-surgeon-paolo-macchiarini More to the point I'm booking SWMBO in for some pointy ears!
  22. Wouldn't be without our annual service contract for our Hotpoint WMD960 washing machine. It's crap!
  23. Just watching a thing on tissue engineering where they were 3D printing ears. So...if the kid was say a Star Trek fan...could they get pointy ones?
  24. Your contactor could weld itself on one day of course... The 24vdc psu will likely just pack up eventually with no ill effect.
