Onoff

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!

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.

@ash132, whereabouts are you?

I thought it'd make a change from the usual beer bottle, can or glass...

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.

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!

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.

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! ?

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?
