Onoff

You mean with real WATER? And what, flush into a bucket? @Nickfromwales, to test & without the wc pan on, could I: Insert the flush pipe then run a "U" shaped piece of say 55mm twin wall duct from that into the poo pipe/soil run? Cheers. Before I do that I need to sort the feed out. Couldn't have got it more wrong drilling up into the loft for that 32mm stench take off: Was going to go up where the blue spray foam is showing behind the cut away Celotex. Re-routing it now. Going to go through where is says "752" and up the other side thru the "1255" marked noggin:

I just figured if I'm drawing in "smell", if that bit is sealed I'll only be drawing in from the empty flush pipe down to the pan and via the flush plate. Otherwise I'd be drawing in from the cavity where the frame sits too. That it's drawing in from the flush plate can't be a bad thing as that's right above where the smell's coming from anyway! Tidying up / adding foam. I'll admit I actually used a bit of CARDBOARD up against the frame on the right so the foam didn't encroach. Should all flush off nice and neat. Measurements in green marker from ceiling and walls to ctr of studs so I'll know what's there when it's all covered up. One annoyance I've noted. There's two M8 coach bolts that affix the frame either side. The bottom left, roughly in line with the bottom of the cistern (red 'X') passes right through one of the M10 stud holes. If I put the nut on the screw won't go in, If I put the screw in the nut won't go on! Tbh the screw isn't biting anyway. Thinking to put the screw in then nut up tight against it. That M8 fixing would then be at least captive and in shear??? And lastly, not done one of these before. What do I need to do in the cistern before boarding? Only two hose connections to make isn't it?

Ta. It was this thread I was thinking of where there was talk of sealing things up:

Welcome, it's good 'ere! I've a couple of 1800s terraced cottages. All slate damp courses, suspended timber ground floors, lath & plaster, lime mortar and airbricks! You sometimes have to be sensitive to all that applying "modern" techniques. But this is THE place to ask.

Rev the 32mm take off I'm routing up into the loft in solvent weld..... The "L" shaped bit I've got my hand on, should I be "siliconing" that on as well as the 6 screws. As in to make it as sealed as possible for extracting the wc "fumes"? Lucky I went into the loft as I found this: Mains into the house used to be from the left and this 15mm run was just to the cloak. I moved the incoming mains bringing it up in the cloak so mains feed is right to left now through this pipe / valve . Nothing backing off and a bit of Jet Blue Plus won't sort.

I was going to ask if Meg Ryan had joined our ranks!

Daughter's got two friends down for the weekend so it's a hiding place! None of it's screwed on of course!

You want Correx type sheets. Antinox & Proplex are other names to look at. And there's plenty of copies. Fit with a Stanley / big scissors and duct tape the joins. Something like this: https://intersiteuk.com/products/black-fluted-temporary-protection-board-2500-x-1200mm-x-2mm?utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=googlepla

So I took the plunge and whacked a 44mm hole throgh the top of the cistern to take a 32mm solvent weld fitting. This for the future take off. All nutted up with CT1 as out of Sika: Next a bit more ply: And another bit: And the Aquapanel:

Um....pretty sure I did. I'll check it's not clogged first as it DID work.

The alligators? Only half in jest I have rellies who live literally next to the Everglades. Each house has a jetty into the lake and there's gators in there. The idiots actually go water skiing.

Park one of these in the garden. Other brands are available: Be honest, how likely's a fire?

This lot in the States are just a distributor for the latch ref "LLABRND" http://www.hooverfence.com/catalog/hardware/lokk-latch-round.htm THE BEST GATE LATCH GOING "ROUND" The popular Lokk-Latch® general-purpose pedestrian gate latch is now available in a version to fit round-posted fences and gates. Best of all, it fits to gate gaps of up to 2", making it ideal for installing to existing gates. Fits 1-3/8" and 1-5/8" gate frames, fits 1-7/8", 2", 2-3/8" and 2-7/8" gate posts. The Lokk-Latch® "Round" is a gravity latch that's stylishly designed to fit most diameters of round post gates and fences. It's ideal for chain link, including gates around houses, tennis courts and farms. Like the regular Lokk-Latch®, the "Round" version takes a radical new approach to the gravity latch principal and combines the benefits of key-lockability and reliable latching action with sleek design and 100% rust-free components. The "External Access Kit" allows the main latch to be operated from outside the fence (but note that locking the Push-Button does not lock the main latch inside the fence). The molded, post-hugging housing imparts a strong, integrated design. Comes with Manufacturer's Limited Lifetime Warranty. I emailed them. They don't know of a UK agent but are happy to quote a shipping cost. Found the same part on this (dubious?) link: https://www.biggiuk.com/dd-lokklatch-for-round-posts-with-external-access-kit-28789-p.asp WTF is the crossed out 2697.30 all about?

I've read they do this is Australia quite often due to their bush fires: http://www.aussiepumps.com.au/pumps-cleaning-equipment-news/swimming-pool-fire-pump.html

Swimming pool? Obviously swim in it then use the water in an emergency.

Just mount it on some stainless steel saddle washers then.

Don't think so. Any decent size and if the ground dries out it'll just "give" outward with straight sides. Different with a pond. Might even find that ground pressure is such it'll just squeeze the EPS walls inward over time.

Hmmm...my PRedV, that packed up a while back. Just reads at max / bends the needle all the time. Pressure does drop when you turn something on but shoots back up. Can't seem to adjust it anymore either. Need to clean it first I guess.

If only I were closer, I'd have taken a bin bag's worth! I too have probably one jumbo bags worth of the stuff in odd chunks. Sawing it's bad enough, I can't imagine the irritation all round if chipped. I always find it smells too.

Nice to be enriching so many sad lives! Seriously though, the ply gets Sika bonded & screwed to the studs and blue frame. Over this will go the green VCL (this will cover the whole wall). Aquapanel gets put on behind the wc, just screwed to the timber. Then tiled. I can't then see that the wall mount wc will shift about and transfer to the board tiles but... Hence the reason about enlarging the holes. I guess giving them all another 1/4" on the diameter wouldn't hurt. One more thing, noise. I know encasing the horizontal soil pipe in expanding foam isn't doing much and that Rockwool would be possibly better but thinking for in the big deep cavity behind the Geberit frame. This was an old doorway before. Loose fill with something? Polystyrene packing chips?

A lad I know just built one for his kids. Dug by hand & beer starting last October he's just finished it ready for the Summer hols. It is I think only 2.5 x 3.5 x 1m deep (small garden). Reckons it cost him £1500 all in. Only downside is it's costing about £100 a month to heat so he's looking at a home brew solar thermal system. Hollow block construction with rebar then concrete down in the blocks. Uses a preformed liner that they make to suit what you've built.

How about..... Diamond shaped pockets with a glass shelf in the middle?

You just don't want this to end!

I've gone with 105, 50 and 17mm dia Starretts. Nothing's too tight but wondering if I should enlarge these a tad? Used the Aquapanel as a template so a bit rough. Came out alright considering I've had a couple. Looks better in the pics tbh. Not going to chance the circular saw though! Maybe enlarge the stud holes at least:
