I'm sure SWMBO will appreciate it.

I know a chap put one of together for about £370. Everything from Amazon or AliExpress but much of it printed using 3 rolls of PLA: https://docs.v1e.com/lowrider/ 1m X 2.4m working area. Costs: Controller 100 stepper motors 30 belts and pulleys 20 3D printed parts 60 (3 rolls of PLA) 25mm pipe 30 (less if you use galv conduit) wiring 20 router 50 nuts bolts and bits 30? wood bits 30

You'll get the gist of it having a read here, though based on the 16th, it is in fact superceded by the 18th! The basics generally remain the same. https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Book/4.3.6.htm Don't forget the option of singles in trunking.

Mental... SWMBO's idea is on the lines of.....get rid of the existing old blue, 1980s, 800mm tray. Then get a new 1200mm tray, this "as they're only about £40". Keep the existing white tiles. Move the stud wall to the right about 400mm. Add tiles to the extended shower area and below the existing to meet the new, lower tray. This means we can utilise the 1200mm sliding shower door we bought years back for the downstairs bathroom and never used. All this whilst there's still a rain leak coming in through the ceiling. My plan, do the roof, gut the bathroom and redo in wall panels. Told her I'm not interested doing it half arsed. As mad as her ****ING mother was!

Cheap as chips in fact...

Trust me, there'll be a queue to take any steel and probably roofing sheets off your hands! 😉

Sevenoaks/confirmation/acceptable...not words that usually go together. I'm mulling an application to SDC myself. Had the architect down and a fee proposal.

I wonder if houses in Chicago would fare any better on the natural ventilation front?

Don't forget to tie the mesh together where it meets or "they" might get through the "sag".

I'd go for the 600mm X 10m, holes are "squarer".

I'm making a stainless camera bracket for a mate at the moment. All cut, just got to weld it up. Goes on the corner of the house, sticks out far enough to see past the drain pipe: M3 stainless rivnuts:

I reckon they've a 50 year plan. Flood us with craptonics. Control our power distribution. Come the Big Overvoltage & Hack of 2073 EVERYTHING goes bang / catches fire and stops. Of course the electric fire engines won't work... 😉

I'm thinking directional intake and extract on simple wind vanes. So it intakes on the prevailing side, exits on the lee.

I suppose you'd term this "PWV", Prevailing Wind Ventilation: https://sustainabilityworkshop.venturewell.org/node/1028.html Not so great if nextdoor smokes strong weed, likes bonfires or has an open cesspool...

Guessing the Passiv Haus Trust aren't going to argue against it! 😂

How much did you pay?

Yes, there was a bit on the news yesterday about these people: https://www.biohm.co.uk/mycelium

Mycelium?

The old ensuite won't be gutted any time soon so I need a quick fix, cheap 😉, shower door to go between these two tiled faces. Nom 790mm. Something like this. Are they all much of a muchness? https://www.elegantshowers.co.uk/clearance/elegant-760mm-frameless-pivot-6mm-glass-reversible-cubicle-door-978.html Cheers

Given the trend for that "clean look" would you care to do the math on "that" as a source of insulation?

Men In Sheds etc?

There's always a smart ar5e! 🤣

Top left corner of the pallets, you can see the one of the M10 bolts and the 50x50 square, M10 galv washer used to secure the corner together. Before putting the next level of pallets on, you slip in "uprights" the same width as the existing pallet uprights. Gave them sticking up and screw to them through the top and bottom pallet.

Yes, I'm lucky to have lots of them about that length. Only thing is my ones are black. They were used to secure cable drums together. If I didn't have these I'd buy the cheapest, zinc plated studding.

Bet that's a first ever sentence on any forum, anywhere! 😂
