Just measured my DTD152, nom 135mm. -

There was a glass out of shot for the Cobras! Tbh I'd think swigging from 600ml bottle a bit uncouth! -
You should always try and future proof. I've put in 25mm galv conduit in the wall to my cooker. It's just got the 6mm T&E in there at the mo:

I believe some (Bosch?) induction hobs are intelligent in that that they limit the draw to circa 13A so you can plug them into a normal socket but you can have all 4 "rings" going at once.

I have another two loos I'll have you know! Both working as well! -
My 7.*kW induction hob is run on a 30A (yes 30) breaker in clipped direct 6mm T&E then a bit of HO5 4mm butyl for the last meter. I always worry about the Christmas Dinner Effect with diversity considering modern eating habits. On ours, rather than one pot there'll be a chilli on one, pancakes in another and French fries on the third. Saying that it sort of pulses to "simmer" things so I imagine they all switch on / off at random keeping the overall draw down. Maybe I'll chuck a clamp meter on one day.

Boring old rectangular ones mine are. Nick dissuaded me from doing them arched! -
Pull the old T&E out and pull thru 3 singles?

You could apply diversity... The allowance here according to the OSG for a cooking appliance is 10A + 30% of the full load in excess of 10A of the connected appliance. (Add 5A if the cooker switch has a socket outlet on it). So full load...7kW at 230V is 30.43A (@240V, 29.1A). 30% of 20.43A (30.43-10) is 6.129A. Add the 10A. Gives you 16.129A Not sure how your 4mm is run? That'll dictate the Reference Method. 4mm T&E is good for between 17.5 and 37A depending on how the cable is run. Enclosed in conduit in an insulated wall for instance is 26A. Edit: Corrected

I bet an Elizabethan Dovecote hasn't got a magazine loading loo roll holder! (Mind you, nor have I yet...) -
Gloves and a mask but I did it topless which wasn't the best idea tbh with the blow back! Running out of blasting medium now. Been advised to look for J-Blast Supafine. Need somewhere close I can buy 25kg without getting stung for hefty p&p!

Read the first paragraph! It's going WAY over to the right near the window. Just showed it there as it's the only place I've a representation of tiles! Don't delete any photos - I'm shamelessly copying you! -
Decided to have a play with the Aldi compressor + Lidl sand blasting gun:

I've a "used once to try" circular bought from Makro for peanuts many moons ago, £9.99 rings a bell. It was so live and springy I just never touched it again. Maybe press that into service...though it was for a "one day" table saw project. -

I need to cut this Aqua Panel into long strips, smallish rectangles etc. Scoring and breaking is a no no. Even outside I don't fancy using a grinding disc because of the dust. The ideal would be a circular saw with appropriate blade. In the absence of that thinking these jig saw blades @Nickfromwales put me on to. Used them so far only to cut out for the flush box. https://www.toolstation.com/shop/Power+Tool+Accessories/d80/Sabre+%26+Jigsaw+Blades/sd2581/Tungsten+Carbide+Grit+Jigsaw+Blades/p67688 Against a fence I guess and have at it! -
I presume this builder may well be reading the posts here?

I hear you! To think it was 3 years to the day pretty much my bathroom looked like this: -

Isn't it Google who have just patented a listening tech that listens to conversations, picks up on keywords etc and "whispers" adverts etc in the background at a near subconscious level? -

It's 3 actually, one over the wall hung wc. Slight faux pas there as I brought the wc boxing in a bit high for this tile layout! Just dawned on me actually that SWMBO possibly wants the pockets done in mosaics. So is that just the rear of the pocket or the sides too? I'll have to ask her but she does dither! Other than multi tooling out that bit where the lhs Cobra is sitting I might just go with a two tile high pocket rather than 3. Make that FOUR pockets as there's the bfo one alongside the bath! -

There will be two pockets, just the one on the right will be a bit shallower: -

I'll at least have a nice usable pocket depth on the left : Got to decide whether to have the 3-way valve central to one tile or on the centre of two (not that it's going on the mitred bit): As the hose outlet is coming out centre of a tile it might pay I think to go with the second option and line up the centre control with the hose outlet. It'd put the centre control at about 1m from the floor which "feels" alright (along with thinking ahead ). -
Your ears burning were they?
