Yes seen those. However they're only single pole. You can only wire them one way and they have two fly leads.

Resin with a mesh sock? http://www.fixfirm.com/category/fixings-screws-nails-anchors-chemical-anchors-resin-injection-anchor-sleeves

As ever it's can I not should I!

I don't want to / can't easily change the gearing on the valve actuator. Nor do I want to over drive the motor voltage wise even if for a short period. Altering the frequency seems OTT. Thinking a cheap Chinese 1000rpm motor (s) with a 2mm dia shaft. Most have a different mounting plate to the Premotec mounting flange so I'll have to make an adaptor. This is the motor frame size: 9904-111-32-series-synchronous-motors-datasheet.pdf

In April 2016 he had EnergyTarget fit 3 extra panels taking him to 8 and a storage battery. £5K. I think it's them just quoted the £2.5K above and pushing the ASHP.

I'm going to try and get him to come down to Build It Live at Detling and talk to @AndyT.

Not in shade. At the top of a hill in fact. He has a history of getting conned!

Mate has just been touted by a company called Solaredge. He already has 8 PV panels and a Sunny Boy inverter. This bloke wants to sell him 8 optimizers and a new Solaredge inverter for £4K. This on the basis his old inverter is only 85% efficient and the new Solaredge one 95% efficient. They'll buy back his Sunny Boy for £500 so £3.5K all in. Rekons it'll make his system 25% more efficient overall. My mate then rang the crowd who did his panels then latterly storage batteries and they've said they can do the same thing for £2.5K. All sounds b@llocks to me? Made the mistake of telling the second lot he's needing a new boiler so they're now after selling him an ASHP. I suggested Sunamp?

Best idea EVER!

Well I have the beginnings of a "drive"! A 24VAC valve actuator. Has an M8 threaded portion through it. A quick hole drilled thru and will "climb" an M8 threaded rod. Only problem is it's too damn slow!
-
Just wondering if that was my problem!
-
Don't forget there's the magazine fed loo roll dispenser WE still have to start/finish...
-
Yep, that's about what I did centres wise. Did wonder if it should have been boarded first but if doing that might as well felt it!

2 maybe 4 bits of studding...chain drive...like a Bradbury car lift...but upside down

I was thinking more using a sparecordlessdrill...

Must admit I've used the corrugated bitumen panels (from Wickes) on a garage, even putting extra cross supports in and they were utter shite and then some. Washing up bowl size depressions formed between the supports and it just collapsed like wet carboard. BiL did the same with green ones on his workshop and it failed on there too.

Expensive but I used lorry siding to redo the tree house roof. £80 for this bit: And I've done f.all else since I put it on!

So.....what I need then is a rainfall shower head up on the ceiling.....that DESCENDS for cleaning at the touch of a button.....

Any sofa supplier recommendation?
Onoff replied to TerryE's topic in General Self Build & DIY Discussion
A few years back my Mum took a fancy to the neighbours new 3-piece. It was from a Welsh company SofaSofa. They had a "roadshow" in a massive, somewhat seedy hotel out near Heathrow. I was very dubious thinking "time share / hard sell" but took Mum up there and there was no hard sell or annoying pushiness. You just wandered around having a sit and if you saw something you liked there was half a dozen desks with their reps you went up to. She got a good deal from memory and it's still going strong. https://www.sofasofa.co.uk -
Cheers. What notch size trowel should I use for that? Tiles are 330x330.

Professional light design... 2470mm unfinished floor to ceiling So an inch over 8'. I want a ceiling mounted o'head shower end of! With UFH and 150mm of PIR all round it'll be toasty in there I hope anyway. I can always warm the room up with a blast from the 9kW body dryer before a shower. The wet room corner just needs light in that corner. With the current 4 downlights on that corner could do with another but the position is exactly where I want the rainfall head. All 3 pockets will be down lit so that'll take the eye of any "losses" in that corner. I've tried the bath and happy with the 3 spots in a line above. I did CAD it up with the 60 deg beam angles etc. Although cool white it's not "blinding" in the bath at all. The spots will be on a dimmer anyway. The idea is get in the bath, beer on the side, kill the spots and switch on the ambient. Beauty is in the eye of and all that!

I simply can't find any unlevel bit of floor when I lay either the 6' or 4' level at any angle. The level just doesn't rock. The screeding rails I did (Unistrut on the walls), I'd do again in a heartbeat but then none of my rooms are that big. The bit in the doorway, where the rails didn't extend to I've left a tad low. Really happy it's "level".
-
With a concrete floor, levelled with screed rails (so v.good) and 7mm thick ceramic floor tiles, how thick should I allow for floor adhesive? I want to get the door frame in. Cheers

Still mulling over this rainfall shower head. I WANT it flush to the ceiling. Current thinking is to buy a cheap as chips, Chinese, stainless steel circular one. THEN have a st/st plate laser cut and put x4 15mm dia, 12V deck lights at the corners.
