    Sharp sand / cement mix & a bit of dye with plenty of exterior PVA or SBR, tamp well... waterseal when dry.

    Post? I'd have driven and met halfway or something. I'm only the other side of the bridge tbh.

    I have some old storage heater bricks but not sure how many: And I ain't venturing North of the Dartford Crossing this side of Chrimbo!

    Yet!

    Trust me, when you've had a slipped disc TWICE, those board lifters are magic. I've been using the 2700mm moisture resistant boards and carrying them on my own with one of these:

    A bitch when you come to rewire though unless you do the drops in conduit!
  7. Onoff
    Luckily I borrowed the one I used. It was either that or make one from Unistrut & conduit with a spare hand winch I have.

    Absolute Godsend:

    Half thinking of making the tiled panel on the bench with the LED strip inset then sticking it "up"...

    I can't decide if this is a bit of a steal for maybe a Banana Pi based (because of it's SATA) NAS or something: https://www.aria.co.uk/SuperSpecials/Other+products/2TB+HGST+UltraStar+A7K2000+7200RPM+SATA+3Gbps+3.5-inch+Hard+Drive+-+PULL+HDD+?productId=64458&utm_source=Aria+Super+Specials+Email+Subscribers&utm_campaign=83bfd8278a-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2016_12_23&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_88b2ce3cea-83bfd8278a-177222113

    I scored some free 15mm board, the blue one. Sound proof one I think. Works very well.

    Ta. Looked at them before tbh. I'm being tight with trying to use the trunking! I'd need 2m of it plus postage... I was debating putting the LED strip in (the trunking) then clear siliconing the strip in situ. Thinking heat disipation issues might lead to early failure though. I'll get back to trialling the bath I think!

    Cheers @Nickfromwales & @ProDave. Been there, done that with the flexible edge ones back in the day, the one and only time I've been involved in tiling anything. I just put the strips on years back and the wife tiled things. Going to have a crack myself this time now I'm "calmer" This evenings conundrum is the LED light strip alongside the bath. It fits absolutely perfectly in 12x8mm Tower self adhesive trunking. Just slides in a treat: The Devil's in the detail etc I don't want it that visible when your lying in the bath but rather recessed up into the soffit of the shelf in a groove. Pointing down is better than pointing back at the mosaics. Think I'll have to bring the edge down a bit to overhang. Grey is the tile, green the plasterboard and brown (hatched) the timber: I've figured I think how to run it in 20mm flexible conduit behind the bath, put the remote sensor at the foot of the bath and make it all easily replaceable!

    He got off LIGHTLY there! We've all done it though. I think it was a site down in Gravesend a few years back where a kid (16 ish) working on site with poor PPE, suffered partial amputation of one leg and serious caustic burns to the other. Seem to remember they had given him a pair of wellies.....that filled up etc
  15. Onoff
    I've sat there a few times listening to the site agent droning on. Just as everyone's falling asleep "that" slide comes up on the PowerPoint. There's a slow realisation of what they're looking at for those who've not seen it and everyone wakes up! Some of the lime injuries are pretty horrific where people have been working knee deep in concrete etc that has soaked into their "jeans" etc.

    Top Trumps! http://www.npc-se.co.th/pdf/LessonLearn/Loose_fitting_harness.pdf
  17. Onoff
    Nearly as good as the one where the bloke didn't do his safety harness up properly and "make a pouch" of his crown jewels! Always wakes people up during site inductions.

    White PVC tile trim, what's best? Closed like this Genesis one: Or open like this Dial one (Homelux is similarly open at the back): Cheers

    What pc did you get your lad in the end?
  20. Onoff
    You can install Synology DSM on an old pc.

    Don't you really need dedicated NAS drives (e.g WD red/purple) if they're going to be on 24/7? I did start a Pi based NAS project to sit under the telly in an old DVD player enclosure. Still "ongoing".....

    Upcycle.....may be my favourite word ever! @Steptoe I don't suppose you've a picture of the label on one of these TalkTalk psus? I've literally a box of many assorted wall warts. I try and mark them all with nail varnish as to what's what and store each in a freezer bag in a stacking crate but I got given that router and don't think I marked it. I've a suspicion it might in fact be the unmarked one I've been using to power the LED strip light I got to go alongside the bath... I keep every psu even if the appliance gets chucked. You never know!

    I'll have a crack tomorrow night....I mean tonight.... G' night!
  24. Onoff
    Your Virgin in then is cable?
  25. Onoff
    Yep that's the concept. It might take a bit of messing around with settings but the collective on here should be able to assist. Nothing lost to try if you can wait for the post. I've done it with two BT HomeHub 3 routers. I've now upgraded to a single Homehub 4. In theory I should be able to try it out with the TalkTalk one.
