That's it, rub it in!

My nephew most likely...

As if to prove a point... Nephew had a length of 15mm pkastic pipe inside his house. On the mains. Capped off with a compression isolation valve. Meant for a future outside tap. It blew off in the week. Even the insert came out!

They should listen and stop slagging you off all the time.

Get in it and try.

I've put 15mm pipe in galv conduit before. Coming down in the corner of a wall. As a nod to mechanical protection:

Once read a book called "A Bomb In The Brain". Think the guy was a war correspondent or something. He had one in the middle of a war zone! Seem to recall it suggesting some folk have the odd artery that's in simple terms built like a vein and can't always handle the pressure. https://www.amazon.com/Bomb-Brain-Science-Surgery-Survival/dp/0380708981

My old man had a stroke at 40. Recovered fully and went on to lead a long life. Died a couple of weeks ago aged 93. All the best on your recovery.

Abnormal service is resumed! 👍 I wish now I'd run a separate return from the basin hots. Could have had a bronze pump and "instant" hot, triggered maybe by occupancy switches.

Are you alright mate? That's two posts in a row, concise, informative and free from smut.

You lay one slab section but incorporate bars sticking out that are part of that slab. You cover the sticky out sections with say Denso tape. Cast your next section. Allows the slabs to move laterally but not up and down. In the gap you can either leave the shuttering or remove and fill with tar, an SBR laden mortar mix, mastic atop foam backer rods etc.

As a bit of an aside someone on another forum kindly found these for me. Mine I think is the first type:

Dead animal.

Wonk I believe was the phrase used...

However sh!t his plumbing looks (and the way he cuts holes in boards), his tiling will be dead level and put mine to shame. Only let down by pi$$ colured grout!

The only good thing to come from Essex is the road back here. (This from a man who only just found out his forebears are from Latchingdon!) Anyway you can't eat white stilettos and fake tan. Or can you... 👅?

Still picking runners here:

Et un bung?

We have a small compost bin in the far corner of the kitchen, by the door, for compostables. Then what we call the "fox jug". Choice scraps go in there and are put out every evening for the fox/badger. Not sure pizza crusts, out of date sweets and leftover icing are really that good for them... Empty them, wash and scrub in the sink with a bit of bleach and Fairy, job done.

Harrowing and then some.

Look for a free garden shed, that's your tea room / changing area. Or build one from pallets.

Poor woman, just read up on her cancer journey

Think one of my mate's places is in Normandy, his first French place. It was basically a stone build animal shed with a high front and very low back wall he raised. His other place is further south...begins with C... I'm seeing him this week for a beer hopefully as he's over he on family business. Welcome anyway.

I actually started this project a year ago when I bought a few 20V Parkside hot air guns on a whim. I must add I've no Parkside batteries or chargers. I favour Makita tools but baulk at the prices sometimes. Instead I go with other 18/20V kit and use Makita batteries. I / my lad CAD up the adapters and he 3D prints them. I've not tallied up the wins/losses but reckon I've passed the 50% success rate. The Makita batteries on the 36V Einhell garden stuff a definite win. I've converted some really old 18V NiCad tools and that's had mixed results. This week I couldn't resist the Parkside cordless nibbler for £49.99. The tools themselves are imho actually "alright". The dark green plastic looks like it would pass the drop test and the black rubber sections are nicely done. Little things like the inability to even put a sticker on straight is just annoying. You can find suspect solder joints in these cheap tools and with the cordless grinders for instance it's well worth repacking the drive gear with extra grease. It prompted me to ressurect the adapter design. This is where I am as of yesterday. Test piece done, the part that fits into the Parkside tool. I've used spring finger battery terminals recovered from duff Makita batteries. Fits like a glove. Next step is to graft on the Makita bit and sort the wiring, copper strips as the + & - positions are opposite ways on the two brands: I'm not interested in a print that looks rough, it has to look the part on top of working.

What looks like filter material is actually removable support structure that gets binned, so no!
