Here you go, see how it drops to as low as 8A http://www.batt.co.uk/upload/files/4d5.pdf (I note it's reproduced with kind permission of.....Though I'm prohibited from scanning my regs book and OSG???)

Do the usual and add up your loads. 1mm should be good but be aware if you run it through more than 500mm of insulation you need to halve the current carrying capacity for any calcs. Edit: How is it all run btw?

Yeah but there's more sugar in the peach / crunch stuff! None in the natural. -

Politics dictates I won't be running the permanent feed to the wc yet! So...rigged a temporary fill/flush solution then I might think about boarding things over! -

Try Lidls natural yoghurt (they even do a low fat one) over fresh berries. The sweetness of the fruit takes away the sharp, tartness of the yoghurt. Good over their no sugar muesli (blue bag, Alpen copy) as well. -
On the subject of "reach" and hole saws you can buy these extension bars: I've only got them for the smaller arbour size (11/32" AF). Bloody handy if you want to drill steel a metre away. Bought for a job I can still remember years back and used once or twice since. Of course there's been times I've wished I've had the bars for the bigger 7/16" AF arbours! Another useful one I have is an arbour for the smaller Starretts that fits into ordinary 1/4" bit holders.

We give the kids that turkey bacon. "Fakeon" my son calls it. I had blackberries with walnuts this morning! (Getting off thread isn't it?) -
The collective makers would no doubt argue the standard is the optimum length. The cynic in me says the standard ones come up short so you have to buy the deep ones!

Shop around and you can get Starrett kits of deep cut holesaws. General purpose, plumbers, electricians sets, 9 piece, 12 piece all in their own carry case.

Half thinking that long horizontal soil comes in from the 110mm Y branch on the outside, North facing wall. It might be a "cold" spot in there? -
Not really. In most cases I use a Starrett to go through "thin" sheet steel or ali. If drilling wood you can generally at least get the pilot through and go from both sides. Top tip, Starrett pilots are fantastic as general purpose pilots on their own for use of fabbing steel work. Back on thread, it's rare I want a deep hole saw but have a few. Mainly where I haven't planned something and have access only one side. They're much deeper than normal and will breeze thru a 4"x2". Here's one I bought earlier against a standard one. Depth of cut is 51mm from top of teeth to inside face: Ref Silverline I bought a load of their 1/2" router bits for finish "planing" the edges on Contiboard. Rough cut first then route and it comes up like factory. They're fine for that. Interesting on Silverline products it's written "Guaranteed FOREVER Register Online*". Not tested it out though. EDIT: Imho Morse brand cobalt holesaws are better than Starrett. Did a load of work in st/st and didn't miss a beat. Got them from WF from memory. Trefolex or RTD etc cutting compound's a must for increasing longevity.

Fair enough. I'm back on arch topped pockets at the mo anyway. Looks like it's a goer, with mosaics for the soffit! Not sure about lighting it though. I'll get a better idea when I project my tile lines around the room.- 118 replies

I might be looking at floor to ceiling glass "wings" either side of the wet room corner if I find the wc or towels on the rail are getting wet. So CT1 to the floor and leave a gap at the top and fill with CT1?- 118 replies

I get told off by the wife / doctors even as I don't chew food. Can't bear the texture of "chewed" food. Steak, anything really - tear a chunk and swallow. People have made comparisons to a dog. I always finish my meal first and don't have an off switch especially with meat. (I don't sleep during a full moon either!) -

Granola's pretty good. I'll eat it it dry as a snack. -

So there's no "lateral" fixing to the bottom of the glass? The glass doesn't butt against say the floor tiles or in a channel between floor tiles and mosaics? And does the glass go from floor to ceiling or is there a gap at the top?- 118 replies

To be fair to the seller it does say it cuts cast iron on the packet. Just pees me off the ad doesn't say they're Silverline. Ordered a deep cut, genuine Starrett now.

Order these "PRO" hole saws and they're actually Silverline brand! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/332169159721?euid=bf18a43f38834226b365bcad1ad70afd&bu=43108661604&cp=1&sojTags=bu=bu Quite what gives the seller the right to call them PRO is beyond me. Bought one in a rush expecting I'd get 44mm of cutting depth i.e to go thru a bit of "4"x2" that comes up about 44mm thick. 44mm is the o/a length of the thing.
