    Yep remember you said that a while back and I got a hose spray specifically. Christ knows what to do if it does leak! It was a git sliding it all in from the left with the brown / grey joint wetted up with solvent. Had to have the bottom bracket on the blue frame half on then sort of jiggle it all in.

    A few questions: Was that marine ply you used and how thick? That fibreglass looks super smooth. First time was it? Mate just did his and it "lifted" a bit in patches. Do the long, ply gutter sections taper outward so if they fill up with ice it'll "pop" out? Ice would be my only worry in those hidden sections. I'll still probably do it myself though.

    I just use CAD like the bag of a fag packet generally. I'm pretty ill disciplined when it comes to saving, naming etc. Usually works out though. I'll even print out angles to set the bevel gauge to and full size profiles to compare to sawn timber profiles I've made. I'd advise against using AutoCAD and Draftsight to work on the same drawings say via Dropbox. AutoCAD throws a hissy fit and tells you "this drawing wasn't created in AutoCAD" etc.

    What happened then, wouldn't take the weight of both of you?

    No reason why you couldn't tap off some heat to aid gentle fermentation! Or build in a demijohn holder...

    Here's hoping I've enough solvent cement on these 3 joints! Couldn't get much of a "twist" on the grey to brown. More of a load up the male, a quick smear on the female and push ' em together: Hence the excess - I tried to wipe off with some IPA.

    So if we're getting creative, if one of these people happened to have an !accident! we could term it "pest control / waste disposal"?

    Big box of CHEAP sand? Sharp? Silver? Seems desert sand has particular qualities. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/01/160104164852.htm

    Trust me, the day I run my car / boiler on water I won't say a word, I've read Ben Elton's book! How about using another less efficient heat store medium but twice the size if space isn't an issue?

    I was talking to two I guess fast response (not armed) coppers just outside Sevenoaks. I asked how far they covered. "We go as far as Thanet" said one. I said so if there's a serious shout in say Margate they might have to go there. "Yes" came the response. (40 minutes?) Jokingly I said "Not just the two of you?". "No, there's 8 of us!" At that point two of their mates pulled up!

    The police will do sweet FA over a broken padlock. I think you can even "get away" with shoplifting now if caught, if it's under a certain amount. Police stations near me now 9 to 5, closed on Bank Holidays whereas it was 24/7/365 only a few years ago. Spoke to a copper, 51, the other day, he said "I've 4 years to go, can't f***ing wait!" There's not enough police and they're hampered by liberal do gooders. Protect your own property and there's a good chance you'll be nicked because it's EASY for the authorities to do so. Only solution in my book is sort it yourself, live with it and keep quiet. Just disappear the scum. Return to the concept of an Englishman's castle and all that.

    Is that a cable coming out of the tee?

    Of course there's nothing to stop THEM reading THIS thread!

    Just some silly thinking about what goes in a Sunamp and how "clever" it really is. Right I've found 25kg of sodium acetate trihydrate for £50. What else do I need? Plate heat exchanger (£70/35kW), old mini fridge case to put it in and some Celotex to wrap it in?

    Emery paper?

    The story I could tell you about the recent police disinterest I encountered would make your hair stand on end and realise this country is screwed.

    I've got some crossbow plans if anyone wants them! So what if you get a decent picture. Your word against his, he was only looking for odd jobs etc. Police not interested round my way. TWO DAYS for CID to attend to 80 year old neighbours when burglared. Viva Tony Martin I say.

    Can't believe nobody's taken a router to a worktop and inset their toaster! How about this "invisible" one? https://www.yankodesign.com/tag/smile-cooking-toaster/

    Have graves for the f***ers ready dug I say. Get a vantage point wait for him to nick something and get him in the back of the head. B'STARDS! I bet the police couldn't give a toss either

    Rockwool batts or PIR / EPS down the sides. The floor under mine has 150mm of PIR and 25mm EPS. The walls down one long side and end have 50mm PIR in. On the long side there's an additional 50mm of EPS wedged in. Helps they're not outside walls. It's lovely and warm.....when I've enough hot water to fill it!

    I reckon it'd drop condensation.

    The Geberit wall drain arrived. So...I thought I'd get back to figuring the outside drains! Started to Kango up the old footings. Nearly at the fence and no sign of the footing turning a corner. The concrete's also full of fence wire! Wish I had a digger.

    Can I have the Sunamp salt recipe please?
  24. Onoff
    Seriously...."not finished" doesn't bother her, like "doesn't match" is going to! You will of course end up comparing after service etc and dealing with different call centres.
  25. Onoff
    The main issue surely is aesthetics? If you can live with it! We've got a Bosch oven & dishwasher, Hotpoint washing machine, Whirlpool fridge freezer, Frigidaire freezer, Sanyo microwave etc Luckily SWMBO isn't bothered if things don't match.....like the two halves of my face!
