    Go to our tip and anything that looks half reasonable gets "put to one side" with a helpful "Ere, I'll take that for you mate!" Behind the metal bin is a bench with a vice on it even. Taking a load of scrap metal down there which included quite a lot of 3, 4 & 5 core rubber flex and I was directed to put the cable in an out of the way, unmarked skip behind the huge metal bin.

    Pretty sure this lack of "gumption" with me at the mo is weight / diet related. First house, about 4 stone ago, I never stopped! For the last 3 days just had a handful of walnuts and an apple for breakfast just before 5am then nothing until 3pm except copious quantities of water and a couple of teas. Did x4 2L bottles of water up and down on the roof. The best bit of that in this heat because your so hydrated you can just enjoy the heat. No word of a lie it's been fine though too busy to think about grub. Get home around half three 'ish and had a beetroot and more nuts. Normal dinner and half a glass of red, no ale. I'd urge anyone to try the walnuts & apple thing. 16st 11lbs last Sunday 16st 7lbs yesterday. 15st is the goal! Last night got an Indian takeaway but only had half of it and stuck the rest in the fridge. Half a Kingfisher in lieu of the red. Managed one evening to make a tentative re-start on sorting the side of the house where I laid the new water main and soil pipes. Feel pretty good this morning. Often used to get a g'teed Sat morning headache from junk food overload during the week. Might go and figure some levels!

    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":

    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!
  9. Onoff
    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,
  10. Onoff
    Would decent pvc tape last to attach it? As in would it go brittle?
  11. Onoff
    Boiler thermistor if really stuck?
  12. 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.
  14. Onoff
    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:

    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.
  19. 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!
  21. Onoff
    I'd have thought so then tank TF out of the wet room area.
  22. 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!
  25. 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):
