    Too late. It's my impulsive nature.....

    They can FO if they think I'm paying a fiver then £25 for delivery for a tube! It's nearly £12 on eBay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Polypipe-GFC100-Gap-Filling-Cement-/252744423830?hash=item3ad8bdd996:g:UiUAAOSw0fhXjjVZ So.....would a wrap or two of good quality PVC leccy tape "melt" into any gap? Just a thought! EDIT: Went with the eBay one.

    Wait till you see the slop in the grey fitting (if the video ever uploads). Maybe I'm being over cautious?

    @Nickfromwales says above that it'll be OK but it just "feels" different to me compared to the grey Hepworth fittings even though both are pvc-u though to different BS EN numbers. The grey tbh and from memory grey 110mm pipe generally seems more "brittle" a la Airfix type plastic. The fit is what's worrying me now. I don't need to tell YOU about plastic pipe issues I'm sure! There I was happily going the push fit route when someone dared me to go solvent weld..... Be a bitch to get that brown soil out now though!

    Ta. Not going to say "Are you sure?" but can't find anything in the Osma site to confirm this. The pipe is pvc-u to BS EN 13476-2. The Hepworth grey is pvc-u to BS EN 1329. So I put a smear of this on an unabraded, unclean bit of the soil pipe: Left for a while and it certainly seemed to have "eaten" into the surface a bit: The brown soil seems maybe a little looser in a couple of the grey Heoworth females of one type in the pics above but not so loose in two of another Hepworth component (not shown). I'll try and video what I mean. Just load with adhesive?

    Faux pas on my part? Will brown soil pipe solvent weld to this grey Hepworth stuff? Cheers

    Loving this thread. There'll be few copying it I'm sure. Ref the crossovers, if you're handy with a bender you can do your own: (I'm just tight! )

    Cheers. So if not fussed I put a 335, 6 or 7 on and it sits proud of the tiles?

    So I'm planning this Geberit wall drain: Actually the shorter version, their 457.538.00.1 shown below. Towards the end of the above video they show simply putting on the "ready to fit set" which I assume is either the 154.335, 336 or 337 below. I'm at a loss then what the 154.338, 339 or 340 is for. Any ideas? Unless I'm missing something the video doesn't show these?

    I totally forgot you were down that way! Dug by hand have you? Gives a certain satisfaction I found and cheaper than the gym! The photo is on the lines of what I'll do when I knock through the lounge / diner. I want level ceiling, floors and walls running through and at the mo absolutely nothing's in line/level from one room to the other. A scary thought I had.....if you remove a concrete floor (s) like we have then DID the original concrete floor provide a certain lateral "stiction" holding the walls in place? It's not like traditional houses have ring beams. Be interested how you go about the EWI assuming you've traditional footings that "step out" from the external wall line.

    What would the "old school" method have been for a curved wall, vertical laths then plaster?

    No, not really for reasons above but it often is.

    Been looking at the Geberit in wall shower drain from Insani24 and that's gone up a fair but since I last looked.....mind that was probably a year ago.....

    .....didn't realise you could get a "flush" flush plate"! This is the one I have bought for my UP200 cistern!

    There's this I found: http://vcut.co.uk/services/flexiboard/ Looks like you could end up with a series of facets so would need to skim it?

    The stuff I've seen us only about 6mm thick with grooves on the reverse. I presume you put two layers on?

    My Italian sliding gate motor has yet to cause any issues. Had it about six years now. The gates all in and slides lovely. Of course when I actually get around to fitting the motor I may have issues. Tbh it's a pita to keep getting out and opening the gate manually but the wife and kids are used to it now. I did at least get the rack on after this, set the motor and pinion to height / proper engagement.....trimmed the st/st studs.....must have gotten sidetracked!

    Wondering if I could just drill a 20mm hole in the top somewhere and fit a M20 gland and length of flexible 20mm conduit (parts I've already got) running up to the loft? Then a small passive IR detector/occupancy sensor that kicks in an inline fan when you're on / near the wc. What's a test for this, light a plastic drinking straw, hold down the pan and see if the smoke gets sucked up?

    From the bottom up mine is: Compacted <40mm hardcore Sharp sand blind 25mm EPS DPM 150mm PIR (100+50) Polypipe tray with UFH A142 mesh 100mm Concrete Tiles Calcs, values.....not a clue, all based on rule of thumb, anecdotal evidence & plagiarism!
