  1. Only other place I've found so far, pricier though! https://www.cisternfittings.co.uk/macdee-compact--side-entry--inlet-float-valve-dvc100-8264-p.asp
  2. Have you thought of stilts?
  3. I think it's a Macdee DVC100...now discontinued...I think. EDIT: So if you can find one...buy it!
  4. Cr@p photo there Dave! Is it one of these: http://www.toiletspares.co.uk/compact-inlet-valve.html
  5. Could you double board it using 11mm?
  6. I'd make the battens out of what you've got. As for going thru them just make sure you tread on where the roof joists are. You can always draw a say red marker line on the "white" felt. Can't beat traditional Creosote imo. If you want them in a pretty colour then a penetrating one like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Barrettine-Premier-Wood-Preserver-8-Colours-5L/352016420383?var=621535329384&hash=item51f5d04e1f:g:OjgAAOSwWxNY2ma1 Lots of the shed & fence stuff just sits on top.
  7. Too late now but I'd have put a pit in if only a shallow one.
  8. Sorry, what other classics are there?
  9. Just remember with a garage.....it's very little effort to incorporate UFH pipes in the slab. For future habitable space or just more comfortable working on your classic Ford!
  10. I'm thinking of making a scale model of the bathroom...
  11. Whilst I'm NOT an Erbauer fan by any means they do I believe make multipurpose blades compatible with the Evolution range of saws. I noted tonight on a Screwfix flyer cheap blades: https://www.screwfix.com/search?search=erbauer+multipurpose I might grab a 185 & 255mm for my two Evolution saws here.
  12. Any use? https://www.fixmyroof.co.uk/videos-and-guides/pitched-roof/slate-a-roof/
  13. Cheers all. Noted I can get away with a 2 rather than 3m long one too. Present run is a bit round the houses! I'll lay the new one in a bit of trunking to protect from the witch and her broom!
  14. Nah, only does it occasionally. Best change it now before we get snowed in though.
  15. Did you call Peter? If not do you want me to make an enquiry?
  16. My capillary fire valve on the oil boiler keeps tripping. Teddington appears to be the make. No problems sourcing them but do I need a 65 or 90 degree one? It's mounted just above the burner on a bracket. No markings on the valve outside it's that old:
  17. When I used to have a lot of ppc done back in the day, (Syntha Pulvin was the name of choice) they would always supply tins of touch up paint and touch up "sticks".
  18. Sorry! Nothing screw wise so far.
  19. It'll fill up over time anyway with frozen peas, crisp crumbs, Hama beads and hair clips!
  20. Gotcha! Sorry, didn't read your response properly.
  21. Maybe add some rusty farm machinery, some deep furrows, a couple of brightly coloured skips and a smattering of abandoned vehicles to the existing model. A tumbledown greenhouse, caravan(s) and maybe a broken swing for good measure. All just for eyesore value. It'll make the new one look positively uncluttered.
  22. I think it was @PeterStarck told me that once everything was sealed up, all they had heating wise for the whole house was a 2 or 3kW fan heater switched on "occasionally" whilst working in there throughout a nasty winter. With NO heating on when I visited, it without doubt felt the warmest house I'd ever been in. A testament to these heavily insulated, air tight builds when done well.
  23. Isn't grout less flexible though than silicone? I'd assumed if under the flooring there was a mat, then there would be some "give" and treading near the edge would crack grout?
  24. Special tool? Nah, don't bother. On a long run like that an EMPTY silicone tube is what you want. Put a drop of Fairy in a jug with some water. Cut the end off the silicone tube SQUARE. None of that 45deg b@llocks. Flatten the end a bit and dip the in the soapy water. Go along your silicone and it leaves a lovely neat filet. Excess collects in the empty tube. Periodically re-dip in the water: Maybe I'll do a video! Taught to me by a Moldovan commercial glazing fitter.
