  1. Mayday, mayday, ravers in the UK...
  2. Tropical fish tank's another 70's fave.....
  3. I used something similar... 😉
  4. I used a combination. Tile backer boards for the wet room corner and behind the loo, then mrpb everywhere else. Helps they're both 12.5mm thick. It was all tanked: The someone made a hash of the tiling, letting down what would have otherwise been a fantastic job 😤:
  5. Buffalo board. We get it from here. They do 10'x5' sheets from memory. Cut edges will eventually let water in so need sealing. There is a branch in Lanarkshire. https://www.lathamtimber.co.uk/products/advanced-technical-panels/atp
  6. Ignore me, first post suggested it! Think there's been a few motorised sliders on GD in the past.
  7. Sliding glass roof? No need to worry about windage at least.
  8. Same here. I made the mistake of buying a stand-alone, clamp on track from Lidl. At only 1m long it's no good on an 8'x4' board!
  9. It's not a bad shout to have fridge/freezers on their own dedicated rcbo. At least if something else causes a trip you shouldn't come back from holiday to a defrosted freezer! I ran a dedicated trunking to a double socket for this though it's currently still on the kitchen ring.
  10. More like a full sack!
  11. Erm...no you don't, at least not the Quintetic ones I have here. There's no going up into the ceiling / loft and having to re-pair the switch to it's receiver.
  12. I put silver foil tape on a black waste: (Yes I know, pi$$ poor tiling!)
  13. Stick copper tape on the plastic pipe or on plastic pipe protectors?
  14. You been at the mescaline again?
  15. Indeed I felt like Jennifer Lopez in Anaconda! Worst bit was getting it up through the hole I drilled in the concrete, had to drag it up with an electric engine hoist. Tbh I often feel like Jennifer Lopez...
  16. Not this stuff, proper DNO stuff and smoothbore. I think I paid a tenner for this:
  17. This is a 2.5mm2 SWA and 2 20mm conduits all inside another circa 60dia conduit.
  18. The Solex Agitator is what we need.
  19. ...alright, I know it's not microwave technology.
  20. Icarus from Die Another Day brought to life!
  21. Wanna bet? My lad's not too bad now but the girl, even the bog roll gets wet if not covered in hair dye! Fairer sex my ar$e, needs to learn to use the squeegee and clear the wall drain occasionally!
  22. Our furry b'stard sleeps with us. Sometimes I'm up 4 or 5 times to let him in/out of the sliding bedroom door. Ignore him long enough and he will scratch it open but hasn't learnt to shut it behind him. Sometimes he brings us presents.
  23. https://news.sky.com/story/two-year-old-boy-died-as-a-result-of-mould-infested-flat-unfit-for-human-habitation-12747927
  24. I'm possibly doing AutoCAD a disservice in terms of how "pretty" a render it can now do. I learnt on AutoCAD 2000/2000i so am most familiar with that. I dabble with 2010 now and then but it's not mine. What I find fascinating of late is that if I draw say any complicated, large assembly, I can export as a STL file. My lad takes it through Fusion/Cura and in theory could then 3D print it. As a boon he can produce very nice, real looking renders which are great selling tools. I keep meaning to draw my house and see what that turns out like once prettied up.
