Something like that is on the cards.

Limited time/capacity with the battery saw. The neighbour took the tree down to that level but it had cracked one gravel board and pushed two posts over. He's offered in writing to pay to put the damage right as it's his tree so fair enough. I just hacked the stump to try and get a panel in as they have a small dog. The fence panel won't actually go in is the posts are pushed over. Reckon it'll be posts out and two new ones.

Made a start with the 36V Einhell/Makita Frankenchainsaw! Stump is going to have to come right out I think as it apparently keeps sprouting. It could be getting an oil drum incinerator over it and some barbecue charcoal!

Other than "orange" can anyone take a stab at what colour fence treatment might match these panels that came from Selco: Chestnut, light brown?

Too tight to buy a label maker?

Some makes make connecting a power flush easier:

I deadened the concealed cistern noise using acoustic tiles. The poo pipe itself is encased in expanding foam then overboarded with 12.5mm Aquapanel and tiles. Seem to recall @Nickfromwalessaying that's not the best idea (expanding foam), for sound deadening. Works for me. Can't hear a thing going down the pipe.

What about having Corten steel on the floor? Nice and thin.

Surely for the cost of the electricity you'd have used a pad saw? 😂 -

You haven't done that?

Just get a cordless hairdryer. Simples!

What's that dog's hind leg then?

I meant a bead of mastic as in silicone out of a tube. Do it properly, as in take the glued on beading off internally or hack the reveals off to expose the damn great gaps. Your experience sounds similar to mine! I reckon the old wooden windows were less leaky! 😂
-
Sorry, didn't mean to foam/silicone the gap where the sill meets the window! This is a good shot, one of mine before it went in. See the hole in the bottom of the window? Any water in the frame comes out there and runs off the sill. However...your gap looks excessive, like the sill isn't tight to the frame. I run a bead of silicone between the sill upstanding on the right and back of the window frame and screw the sill up into the frame.

Whilst "double glazing" was seen as the panacea to all cold evils, installers were often just scammers keen to maximise profit. New windows would be deliberately undersized to to allow quick fitting with no hassle. The subsequent gaps were often not filled but covered with trim. Sills were "glued" on with mastic etc. The TV series White Gold was closer to the truth than you can imagine. Those gaps...fill them as best as you can. I'd mask the window with tape and where you can, inject Illbrück FM330 using a proper applicator gun. When set, cut off level with the window using a sharp craft knife. Keep the windows shut whilst it's setting. Then add mastic beads all around. A Fugi Cramer tool set will help with the mastic beads. Unless you want to hack back the reveals inside and see just what atrocious gaps they've left and really do it properly. I kid you not I have 1" gaps around mine.

Any little gauze filters that are blocked?

It could be an entire season of Abandoned Engineering! "Who built this and why didn't they finish it?"
