McDonalds apple pies remain scalding for ages!

I'd turn back!

Throwing it out there.....could you use a literal vacuum as insulation. One big welded tank inside another?

Made a new bottom cover for my lad's 3D printer from an old oil drum lid. Left over from when I made an incinerator: Oven baked, VHT paint:

Burn stuff, fire good.

I reckon those boards are wider than normal scaffold boards.

Tbh if I could get AutoCAD to work on Linux I'd ditch Windows.

FreeCAD can be handy. I use occasionally to simply open a drawing and save in another format. Fusion 360 is now charging to save as .DWG or . DXF. You end up using a program and thinking b'stards! 😠 A lot of people became reliant on Draftsight then they went to a paid for only platform. Expect anything popular & free to eventually go the same way.

The burden passes to whoever inherits the house. We have two years to sell M&Ds or: "If the property is still unoccupied and unfurnished after two years, 200% Council Tax will be charged. If the property is still unoccupied and unfurnished after five years, 300% Council Tax will be charged. If the property is still unoccupied and unfurnished after ten years, 400% Council Tax will be charged".

I keep meaning to try it myself. Old dog / new tricks etc.

Fusion 360 seems to be the place to start if new to it all. My lad uses it and is a dab hand. I believe it is getting more restrictive as time goes on, with features being removed. No doubt heading to a fully paid for platform! I still use AutoCAD as I'm old! 😂

3D print a custom plastic piece to recess it and look neat. You sketch it, I'll print it.

Did you have the fagging system then?

I think it's in the terms of his release, to keep the urges under control...

Sorry, you go to see her whilst you're naked?

What you really need is a fibre laser. Sorry couldn't resist.

So when you've finished with the basement captives is it straight into a bath of hydrofluoric acid?

Mine is a semi sunken bath, floor of bath level with bathroom floor, set in a marine ply surround. I insulated the two "outer" walls.

& icky...

Get a 2A one like I linked. Higher amperage won't really matter, the device will just take what it needs. Just don't go lower than 1.7A. The bigger you go A wise the bigger it will be physically. If you got clever you could likely even hide the transformer section (it's actually a PSU) in a routed out pocket underneath the shelf if you made that appear "deep".

47mm back box with PSU in that? How deep is the block on the inner leaf? You can go deeper with socket extensions. For example: https://www.edwardes.co.uk/products/appleby-sb680-2gang-25mm-extension-box-frame? This one is 79x54x33 for instance: https://www.powersuppliesonline.co.uk/gsm36b18-p1j-36w-18v-2a-power-adapter.html Might need a right angle figure of 8 plug inside etc. Put a DP switch in a switch blank. Depends how handy you are / confident with electrics but a low profile as in pretty much invisible solution is possible.

Hide a laptop type supply somewhere in the depth of the wall? @canalsiderenovationdid similar if I recall ref her door entry system? Think that was a DIN rail mounted PSU.

Just looking at the plug here on our Alexa and it's under 5.5mm diameter. The pin is I'm guessing under 2.1mm dia as well. This PSU is only 12V, 1.25A though

Ta. This is more the case with my house where it would have helped. There's one room, block built with a 2" cavity. Outside is rendered so most are sealed. Inside it's just 1" batten onto the blocks then 1/4" hardboard and woodchip paper. Behind the hardboard there's a gale blowing. Comes up through the suspended floor into the walls too.

By not page coating the blocks but having a really good, airtight, dot and dabbed, boarded wall do you not end up with it "cold" behind the plasterboard?
