Onoff

This could be our winner. Trying to sell it that the rips to the left of the window, adjacent to the mosaic will be offset by the mosaic which will draw your eye. Also there'll be a blind on that section above the window.

What and miss all this?

The heated towel rail looks like it will take the eye of that area under the window. Need to rethink as madam had decided the rips up the rhs of the window will annoy her! Thinking the basin will hide any small rips to the right of the towel rail if I revert to that. Basin...how to model? Idiot nephew saw the model and said "Doll's house, have you turned?". Daren't tell him I had 18 Action Men and one Barbie!

It doesn't say it's maintenance free: http://www.carpentier.be/en/products/hotwood-ash-timber-cladding/

Where there's muck there's brass! "They" have to make money from somewhere. Think how local councils have householders sorting rubbish into streams and and many cases fine you if you don't. (Speed cameras, parking fines, late tax returns etc. All a tax on "living"). This is interesting: https://www.letsrecycle.com/news/latest-news/batteries-sector-set-for-shakeup-after-portable-ruling/ & https://www.letsrecycle.com/news/latest-news/battery-collection-costs-expected-to-shoot-up/

With cheap labour here I guess these things are readily recyclable. Is there no way of you popping the seals on the batteries you have and regenerating them somehow? Even if I'm means storing them upright thereafter.

There's legislation came in in 2009 which pretty much prevents Joe Public buying second hand batteries like this. The cynic in me says it prevents you doing anything "off grid" on the cheap. No different to how "they" reduced the FiT rates when they realised the amount of cash they could lose! It's all about provable, documented waste streams & waste transfer tickets now. Saying that the "mixed" loads I see still going off site suggest otherwise unless they get sorted elsewhere! Things like batteries and waste oil, anti freeze etc are going to attract more attention than a bit of old timber and Unistrut though! I'd try a battery recycler like this: http://www.g-pbatt.co.uk/industrial.html Maybe play on your SHC connections? I think even they have to prove where a customer's waste went now in that it was properly disposed of.

You might try a used forklift truck place like here: https://phl.co.uk/about

Most of that area under the window will be covered by the heated towel rail which might help take the eye off things!

So that line of rips up the rhs of the window and at cill level is "acceptable"?

AEI USED TO do what you want: https://www.flameport.com/electric_museum/sockets_13A_BS1363/aei_socket_with_fused_outlet.cs4 I'd go surface dual pattress box carefully positioned over the old one. You can get them different depths: https://www.ukelectricalsupplies.com/Click-Dual-29mm-Surface-Pattress-Box.htm?utm_source=google&utm_medium=shop&utm_campaign=feed&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIt8jgovKv2AIVab7tCh1WgAB9EAQYAiABEgJF3PD_BwE Then a 1G socket and separate switch. EDIT: It will be proud off the wall!!! Or bite the bullet and let in a dual back box.

Erm...two cables could just mean it's a a spur feeding a spur!

Can't think off the top of my head but how about a surface mount dual box positioned over the 1G existing?

Ta. To the rescue as per usual! You mean like this? (There's an art to this, can't just start blindly slapping tiles on! )

Nor me. It gets worse when I tile the stub wall, I get another line of small tiles: Half debating more vertical mosaics in that corner? I wonder if stretcher bond all over rather than stacked would work better and get me round the problem corners?

Not what you're after but similar to what I did all those years back: http://cpc.farnell.com/unbranded/sg194-metal-plate-only/wall-plate-2g-cutouts-usb/dp/AV16630?CMP=KNC-GUK-CPC-GEN-SHOPPING-UNBRANDED-AV16630&gross_price=true&mckv=skeuL1FSh_dc|pcrid|224635168920|kword||match||plid||pid|AV16630|&gclid=EAIaIQobChMItanQsKav2AIV6rDtCh25cABbEAQYBSABEgIjo_D_BwE Found these "hotel" media plates, their other media plates are interesting: https://www.nexxia.co.uk/product-category/audio-wall-plates/hotel-media-wall-plates?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI2uyx46av2AIVYbvtCh0ptAV7EAAYAyAAEgIHQ_D_BwE

A candle is about 13 Lumens according to Wikipedia.....

This is 1:10 scale. Hula Hoop probably good at 1:5? Can't stop, off to get print more tiles!

Yellow insulating tape!

As delicate as it sounds would heavy duty tin foil work?

This is actually HELPING me never having done it before! The plan for the wet room corner, nom 1200x1200, was to have a vertical strip of mosaics to define the wet room corner and break the big grey tiled walls up. I'd also anticipated I might later need to add glass wings to protect the wc / towel rail from shower spray. Thus I put vertical studs behind these strip lines. Happy enough with this wall where the wc is going though I'll end up with some slim bits to the left of the wc. Thought it important to put the tiles symmetrical to the wc centre line. This wall will have pockets above the wc and in the wet room area. The shower controls will likely be to the right of the mosaics: This wall though, a few issues. As an aside this wall will have no pockets or shower components: Slivers up the right hand side and under the window. If I lost the mosaic strip and shunted the tiles to the right of the strip right, that would help but I can't really lose the vertical mosaic on the wc wall. I was thinking of cheating and trimming all 4 sides of the window in mosaics. It could change again if I mitre the corner! Going to sleep on it.

Back in the day with the first house I attempted that; 5-pin DIN, phono, co-ax and 9-pin D. Only the aerial ever got connected! Excuse crap photo from yesteryear!

Got further than I thought with the tiling and got the mirror on the wall!

Something I'm not understanding...surely the plates should be aluminium or something heat conductive?
