Onoff

I've managed, as an aside, to track down the maker of my yellow, broken one above...in Taiwan. Sent pics asking if they can supply the missing part or send me a drawing so I can make it myself. Nothing lost etc.

Is it this: http://www.salclear.com/contents/en-uk/d37.html ?

Just ordered one. Blame the Doom Bar!

Really? I might get one.

My 50mm bath waste was part recessed into the 150mm PIR then came up at an angle into the slab. All made good with gun foam before the slab went down:

Wasn't EVERY detail considered and DRAWN out for you by your architect / SE? Like the wall sections etc? I thought I was the King of Plagiarism and making it up as you go along but you're doing it on a whole house scale! (NOT having a dig btw).

How about 600 rather than 300mm of EPS and I just say I'll float it away if it needs to be moved!

Seems to say here that if it's more than 20m from the house I'd be limited to 10sq.m in size as we're AONB. But there's existing, longstanding buildings already here like the garage and stable block? https://www.planningportal.co.uk/info/200130/common_projects/43/outbuildings The stable block then is maybe what I should be looking at knocking down and rebuilding. It already is shown on Land Registry etc. Twice the grief to clear the site though and asbestos!

You beat me to it! I just brightened the screen, zoomed in and saw it lying loose.

Htf does that steel work, wrong way up surely?

Can I come round and pick those random bits of foam off? Driving me nuts

What about some big, visible lifting eyes so you could Chinook it if the need ever arose?

Not interested in "ready made". Too impersonal. Logistics of getting it to the space would be a nightmare too.

Our back door is our main door used tbh. The front door though central to the house front elevation is rarely used. Where we park on the drive to one side of the plot it's easier to walk around the back. The whole layout is carp tbh. You have to walk across the dining room to get to the rest of the house, and yep there's a "wear" line!

Just a big, chill out / rumpus room for the kids and their friends. Pool table, sofas, telly, a MAME arcade machine etc in there. I ran a tape over the area and tbh 6m x 5m would get lost in that corner. Thinking of DIY wall panels like @Construction Channel is doing. 145mm deep "stud walls" infilled with insulation, then more insulation across the inside to mitigate the bridging through the studs.

For a 5m x 6m shed then raising it off the ground for said "cat access" would obviously raise it's profile something I was looking to minimise by putting the hard-core and EPS layers "in the ground" so to speak. This all might be moot anyway as just reading about permitted development in an AONB, If considering as a "shed" then it seems 15m2 is the limit normally without it being an AONB then 3m to a flat room or 4m to pitched etc. I want a big FO garden room! With a green roof it'd blend in anyway in the grand scope of things

Totally off the wall here and driven in part by the price of 300mm of EPS but what U-value I wonder would laid GLASS BOTTLES give like they did here: http://www.sparklingadventures.com/index.php?id=1585 There'd be nothing that'd burrow through that without getting cut to pieces. Mind, it'd take some supping / raids on the local bottle bank for 30m2!

A possibly expensive option but I wondered about putting steel "mesh" sheets down on the sand blinding layer when I did my bathroom floor before the 25mm EPS went down. I might have done but couldn't be ar$ed forming it over the concrete I'd cast at the edges where I tidied up the footings. Could have / should have / would have etc.....

I've got stacks of old greenhouse glass I'd lay down as a first layer before any hardcore I think. I'd put plenty of broken glass in the hard core too.

Wheres the best place for nom 30m2 of 300 thick EPS suitable to go under said passive shed? Cheers

And LONG before any tiling commences..... Just realised/remembered that I need to pack the fronts of this stud wall to account for the soil pipe being set about a 1/4" proud (I can't move the soil): The offending soil pipe: How it sits proud: I'll need to pack over the Geberit frame too. Was going to screw/glue the ply like this to the joists and Sika to the (blue) frame where there is no timber to screw thru: The wall will be tanked as it's primarily a wet room corner. Can't really stretch to marine ply so was going to nip out in the morning and get some of this 9mm ply from Wickes and glue / pin on, The fact that I'll be tanking it will it be OK do you reckon? http://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-Non-Structural-Hardwood-Plywood-9-x-1220-x-2440mm/p/110111

No disrespect to anyone here but most experience will be with your own individual inverter. Why not post the OP question over on TEF: https://talk.electricianforum.co.uk You'll get @binky come along and give his honest opinion as someone who fits loads hence has wide experience of different makes. He is to PV what Nick is here to plumbing.

EPDM?

Well from the outside looking in..... I wish I was starting with a clean slate, from the ground up etc.

This is looking like the replacement at the mo. Says +/-0.3mm accuracy: http://www.clasohlson.com/uk/Cotech-Cross-Line-Laser-Level/40-8704?gclid=CIzD1Iu-o9MCFYQy0wodRL4C2Q#moreinfo
