    Really pleased for you both. Top result, looks stunning.

    It'll be USB-D by the time I get around to it!

    I've stuck with MK for any sockets with USB outlets. Reassuringly expensive is the reason I guess! I'm still not sold on the idea. There was a consumer protection report out a while ago that had some nasty failures detailed. Have to save up for these : http://www.gil-lec.co.uk/mk-edge-lustrous-black-double-usb-socket-k14343lbkb

    In our "done before I found this forum else it would have been so different" kitchen, we have flat plate, matt black Volex insisted upon by SWMBO. To be fair all the fittings have a nice switch action except for the cooker switch for which I have to back the car up against! However...the terminals were a pita, very tight. I've changed most visible plug tops to decent black ones where I can so they stand out less. Less popular makes will have less range. I couldn't for instance get a neon version of the cooker switch. Then when I wanted a switched fuse outlet with the outlet in a particular place I had to an obscure make as a near match (Hamilton). I now want some USBs in there. The MKs they now do that would near match are about £60! Be aware too if you've used 25mm back boxes that some flat plate stuff won't fit.

    I'm back on good old white MK as I think their quality is back to what it was. A few years ago their terminals I'm sure were made from cottage cheese. Sollysta by Hager, Click Mode, GET (now Schneider) you won't go wrong with. I've fitted the odd bit of Varilight not too bad though had a couple of 20A grid switched disintergrate. But how about showing the missus these for a Sunday morning discussion you probably don't want! https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Main_Index/Wiring_Accessories_Menu_Index/Varilight_Freestyle/index.html

    Best not mention the knicker drawer then...

    I'd have expected a cat flap for that money!

    And if it's not making a noise? Until you open the box you won't know whether it's dead or alive...or even if there's a cat in there...

    (I did manage to sneak in a crafty Cobra...) Oh for a clean slate! At the mo this is what I'm going to have to tap into for the shower. Left to right: x2 pipes ending in flexis from the shower pump the other end of the house. Feeds the bar mixer in the upstairs ensuite. Not sure what's hot / what's cold tbh. All are hidden within the dormer ceiling: Still, made some progress: But I need really, and I've been putting it off, to move this grey, diagonal soil pipe that runs across the top of the new bathroom ceiling. (Copper left to right is hot to shower, rainfall head, cold to shower). Moving that soil wil make plumbing and electric runs so much easier and even help positioning the rainfall head as well as giving better all round access. Can I lay a swept soil bend on it's side? Figure better than an ordinary 112.5deg elbow.

    Congratulations! Must be gutting seeing others progress when you can't, but you're off the blocks now. Enjoy!

    I couldn't do this plumbing lark for a living: Bloody nerve wracking if it doesn't fit...but it did! 140mm offset. Yes, first go and minor trimming: The hardest one done at least.

    This is where somebody on here has your address and sends Mrs @joe90 the Petwalk brochure...

    Certainly don't try and get a DW625e router back in the box when you've had a couple. It's hard enough sober!
  15. Onoff
    Worth having a go at them then...nothing ventured...
  16. Onoff
    You do get the odd f***wit who didn't take the opportunity when he had it to lower the kitchen floor and put UFH in...
  17. Onoff
    Gotcha! The holes right but you're wrong! (Takes me a while...).
  18. Onoff
    A) He's planning on getting one but can't find one expensive enough to match the cat flap. B) He's got a dog!
  19. Onoff
    It's that big it contains a vet who climbs out and scans the cat for you!
  20. Onoff
    1) Where's the cat? 2) Does it have to wear a collar with a "key" on?
  21. Onoff
    Sorry I thought the skylights were too BIG. So first photo...hole in slab is massively over size? The skylight on the right of the hole consists of a really thick black frame and a piddly little window in the middle? So make the hole smaller? Drill a line of holes into the slab edge, fit studs say M16 and resin anchor them in. Shutter up in ply and recast the edge of the hole.

    Just realised that I was planning to connect this shower outlet on the mitred wall to the hot IN on the valve! Lucky I spotted that. No copper was harmed!

    Floor saw? https://www.hss.com/hire/p/floor-track-saw-petrol-350mm

    I mulled spade & Forstner bits but decided on the easy route in the end... This is why most of my drinking is at home...I'd never make the pub for closing! Even THAT went west tonight. Had to suffer WARM Cobra!
  25. Onoff
    That looks fantastic! Daughter had the first bath. It's been agreed I'm having the first s**t!
