    I've got a complete asbestos roof on the stable that's leaking, covered in moss and I guess breaking down of its own accord! Was a time at our local tip there was a big skip to put it in and you could take a trailer. Now its: No more than 5 sacks/sheets (or equivalent) per month. The asbestos must be: double bagged or wrapped in heavy duty plastic sheeting not sticking out from the packaging no more than 10 feet (3 metres) x 5 feet (1.5 metres) kept damp Wear protective gloves and a face mask and do not break or cut it. Doable over time but I'd have to store the bulk in the garden and do it over months. Lucky I've the space! Still, me rebuilding the stable, like that's going to happen in a hurry!

    Bamboo certainly does "explode":
  3. Onoff
    I'd have shelved that idea...

    I think it was Screweys had Mapei tanking kits on offer...any good as a brand? Ooh! Just found Everbuild's offering: https://www.transtools.co.uk/fixings-hardwares/sealants-and-adhesives/wet-room-system/aquaseal-wet-room-waterproof-tanking-system-4-5-square-metre-kit

    Erm... Don't tell me you've NOT got something like this knocking around: https://www.victorianplumbing.co.uk/warmup-replacement-floor-probe-for-3ie-4ie-thermostat-2015-upgrade?campaign=googlebase&gclid=CNr0r-fd99QCFcEp0wodGAQAqA As in its a 10K NTC sensor. Available at Topps Tiles, Eurocell, Trading Depot etc.

    Seems Honeywell digital room stats that have what you need in them..... https://products.ecc.emea.honeywell.com/norway/pdf/en0r8578uk07r1208.pdf Might be SMD though and loadsa money for what you're trying to do!

    I that ohms or k.ohms? If a 10K one there, in a room slightly below ambient you'd get a higher value. A cleverer person will be along shortly! EDIT: Ohms I think from zooming in? EDIT 2: I'm an IDIOT, just read you said it's ohms! So that's pretty low, does it make it a PTC thermistor? If so, no good as you want NTC,

    Would decent pvc tape last to attach it? As in would it go brittle?
  9. Onoff
    Boiler thermistor if really stuck?
  10. Onoff
    There's an RS Components in Pontypridd. Should have a selection of 10K thermistors: https://uk.rs-online.com/mobile/search.html?searchTerm=Thermistor+10k Stick your multimeter probes across the thermistor to measure it's resistance. Where are you working/easy to get to? Swansea is it?

    Needs a 12V supply though? The Cebec one is 230V.

    Think I'd rather do 22mm V grade chip and tanking with tanking tape round the edges where walls meet floor etc. But if going the other route I found this that's 1200x800x6. Cheaper than others that are 1200x600x6: https://www.crowntiles.co.uk/hardiebacker-250-ez-grid-cement-board.html?utm_source=google_shopping&gclid=CPiN_rKU99QCFRQ6GwodDugPhw

    Ive emailed Cebek's tech department to ask what happens in a power cut with the I-108 module. I'd suspect it carries on as before as the potentiometer sets the threshhold. The I-108 comes c/w probe: i-108.pdf

    Try my idiots quick taster guide PDF to DraftSight:
  16. Onoff
    Have a look here, maybe something. Nice to deal with too. (Great site btw): https://www.esr.co.uk/products/frame_control-temperature.htm The I-108 maybe though you would need to stick it in an enclosure.
  17. Onoff
    The colour matches their slates though!

    You'd be posting pictures of Faye with that caption if you knew what's good for you!
  19. Onoff
    I'd have thought so then tank TF out of the wet room area.
  20. Onoff
    Why not get some Weetabix and tile onto that, might last longer! Seriously, what about V grade "green" chipboard?

    Another comment: "£1500 is a realistic figure for the gear to slap that together. An AC/DC tig welder, cylinder of argon, reg, filler, tungstens and front end consumables will see that wither away with enough change for a pint. This is fine if you have the time to learn to use it before getting fired in to paying work and if you intend to carry on using it after the job. For a one off, pass it on to someone who has the gear and skill. Save your self a few quid by doing the cutting, prep work and a decent drawing. I'd happily quote to do it but as you can see from my location Kent isn't that local and he would need to deliver and collect." (Richard, the writer is in Herts btw).

    Lad I know, At his French place had to get a DIGGER in and install a dirty great earth PLATE. No piddly little rods!
  23. Onoff
    Are you talking a rivnut / nutsert type tool? Magic bit of kit! Used to add an earth point in a back box (original fooked):

    @MikeSharp01 - I posted your question over on the welding forum, after all I wouldn't go on there and ask about MVHR systems! The first response from one of the mods: "Easy job with the right kit, but £300 isn't going to buy it, you will need an ac tig welder, pure argon gas, filler rods, and then learn how to use it, ally is not as easy to learn as steel or stainless for most people.I knocked these four frames up on Monday, just a few hours work, for a one of job it would be best to just get some who knows how to do it." & "find a local welder and ask for a price to weld your frames certainly the cheapest route" I can point you at a fabricators in Hoo who do excellent TIG and have done so for me for 30 years btw. I do understand though the desire to DIY! Then again...this is ali welded with an EWM Phoenix MIG welding machine. Welds look good to me: http://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/threads/mig-like-tig-or-almost-anyway.74184/#post-1017595 Seems it's super controllable for pulse duration, voltage etc. I do have a Clarke 130TE mig machine. You can get 0.8mm ali wire for it. Would need a 0.9mm (1.0mm?) tip also (expansion of the wire) and a bottle of argon. All the bits are available from MachineMart for <£30. You'd be quite welcome to borrow my mig to have a play if you wanted to get the ali bits. Think its advised to pre heat ali? I am however planning taking my daily off the road shortly for major sill surgery though so it'd have to be a quick lend!

    Could you..... - Get a pallet load of Postcrete bags - Get the delivery man to stack 'em in a line just where you want them - Go beserk with a garden fork - Get the kids to give them a douse with the hose - When set peel off the plastic at your leisure
