"Concludes at 5pm"....I'd be way finished by then! Not the most flattering pic you could have found!

Julia Kendell from DIY SOS..... I wonder what she's wearing on a scorcher of a day like this...

If you want steep then check out Baldwin St in Dunedin (NZ). World's steepest street I think. I've been up it in a 4WD and it just felt like it was going to tip back! Going back down wasn't too pleasant either: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baldwin_Street

No I think it's a CATRY switch. Chinese in origin: http://www.globalcompaniess.com/info18_shenzhen-catry-electric-co-ltd-126579.html

Rocket switch? Like these?

Tell me about it! Add in Site of Special Scientific Interest.....

It's close smooth to the touch and you can touch a fingernail to it and see the reflection. Really is a thing if beauty. I read up a little bit about it. Something I think said not good in kitchens as it doesn't do well with grease spots? Different types too, one you can wipe with a wet cloth, another with a soapy wet cloth. Whatever it's hugely impressive, like one huge piece of marble.

Tbh I thought Peter's Venetian plaster was MARBLE.

Yep, you just want to touch and wonder at it! See it and you'll want it. I've touched Peter's...

So..... @Nickfromwales reckons a 32mm pipe / tank connector from my Geberit cistern to any DIY "pan extract" system. But where to put it? Either side is thick rib. In the top of the "box"? (The M16 washer serving as a nom 32mm dia thingy in the photo). Cheers

Virtually had a new washing machine (Hotpoint) yesterday all under the service contract. It had that many parts! Well pleased we kept that up. Still, if the missus will insist on buying shoite!

So what happens now you leave it all pressured as a "soak" test? Is there a gauge somewhere so you can see if it drops? EDIT: Just read Terry's post asking the same thing!

Just realised why ALL our felt is rotten along the bottom and in turn the tops of the wodden facias thanks to this. Lack of double row/double cover/starter course!

Is the roof / hip angle slightly different to the original maybe?

The whole place is that tidy believe me!

Nice one. They're keen coming out your way! They could easily meet with an "accident" on those narrow lanes..... EDIT: Tbh their own house is probably a draughty shithole and they want a warm up in nice surroundings!

Christ! There'll be squirrels getting in! Still got to decide what to connect it to in the loft in the absence of any MVHR.

I'll throw in the wife's recipe for lemon ice cream! Negotiations #Not The Nine O'clock News style!

Oh yeah, and my dormer leaks in all 4 corners and elsewhere. Swap you?

Next question..... I need, very shortly to drill a hole in the top (?) of the cistern and run a pipe up into the loft. This, for an "odour" take off pipe alluded to elsewhere. Easiest for me would be a bit of 20mm flexible conduit and an M20 stuffing gland siliconed in. Sound about right?

Does that include pages on the old forum? I'm feeling your pain btw with all your grief. People's definitions of "quality" vary so much and I'm sure to many trades it's just a job. I'm guessing though you've at least a nice warm, draught free shell within where you can fix it all!

That's a very...bouncy...video... Anyway, back on track: Despite my best efforts some of the timber faces that the Aquapanel will go on are a little low. I can slip in a (yellow) 1mm shim here and there. I could set the plane and glue 1mm thick strips of timber on to get a continuous pack. I'm thinking it'd be better just to put the board on with lines of Sikaflex on the timber but don't screw to the low areas until the Sikaflex has gone off. That way it will have dried as a continuous pack?

Let's be honest with a bit of imagination..... First take a photo of the cat's posterior. Print, cut out and trim to fit in one of these: Then go mad with some diamante and craft glue.....or 100s and 1000s..... Endless related possibilities! Lots of "being turned on jokes" too..... Seriously though with Freestyle if you get bored you can change the "image". You could have it to match the wall and be "invisible", photos of loved ones, pics of the build, whatever floats your boat. https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/tcl/search?query=Freestyle&Submit=Search EDIT: Decent enough make Varilight imo.

Here you go, quality and stylish: https://www.decswitch.com/switches-and-sockets/swarovski-crystal-switches-and-sockets.html Not sure in what world.....parts of Essex maybe?
