Wossa matta? (A man who makes mats).

Call that taking your time? Lightweight!

Not by ME!

I'm going for no skirting.....eventually.....

I'd be ultra careful about using aluminium angle especially at the corners. Just asking to rip into someone's bare feet! It would imo need some very subtle filing of the corners. CT1 Power Grab n Bond? Be a biatch if ever you wanted to replace the angle though..... White UPVC angle stuck with "ordinary" CT1?

Looks like a silicon fillet in those pics and a bit rough too in places? Nick will be along shortly, hang in there!

So.....one old office chair base: A few minutes work with the grinder zinging off the bits I don't want and dressing the sharp edges. Then a 35mm hole drilled with a Starrett dead centre of the original top plate: The plan is to weld one to the other like this: Engraved on the (gas?) strut is something about not opening it up or exposing to heat.....bit late for that what with the grinding! Odd too as the top of the strut was originally welded to the top plate anyway. The welds are dog rough! Might make a new top plate but keen to use as much of the old to keep the upcycling thing going! As I don't need the up/down function any more I'll shorten the strut rod and thread the end for a nyloc nut. Basically just using as a bearing/smooth rotating shaft. It puts it at about the perfect height with the table top on.

United Utilities seen to be singing from the same hymn sheet as Tennants posted up if you look here: https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://www.unitedutilities.com/documents/Excavation_option_agreement.pdf&ved=0ahUKEwip4rXdtPvOAhWoL8AKHb7mBZAQFgggMAE&usg=AFQjCNHGRa0zwOSRAdOzH8UAH1V4LB3A-A

Thanks for that. Sort of what I expected tba. Does it help to "go in heavy" on the green side with any application i.e. PV, EWI, heat pumps etc. Even if you don't do it straight away? Thinking it might help if it went to appeal if the planners could be shown to be turning down this sort of thing.

Too true! Like the idiot I "know" who's ceiling height came out about 2470.....with 400 high tiles..... "He's" mulling over having a border tile or similar.

That's what you call a cock up!

Do you have a pic of the diverter arrangement?

Check the sites for your electricity/gas/water and they'll likely have something like this: https://www.thameswater.co.uk/tw/common/downloads/your-business-developer-services/new-water-supply-regulations-guidance-notes.pdf I Googled "water trench depth other services".

Some brilliant ones over on the mig welding forum made from old gas cylinders. I saw Jamie Oliver building / using this one. Would make a good cheap basis for a heat source: http://www.jamieoliver.com/jimmytandoori/to.pdf & http://www.channel4.com/programmes/jamie-and-jimmys-friday-night-feast/videos/all/s2-ep1-diy-pizza-oven/3977372594001

I think it was Triton made them originally but discontinued it for some reason. I bought it second hand but new/unused and still in the box off of Gumtree. Seemingly they bought it pretty much after their high spec bathroom was finished to be told it needed it's own 8.5kW (or is it 9kW?) supply. It has a clever relay thing in there so you can wire it off of a suitable, local shower supply whereby only shower or dryer will run at one time. They had a pumped shower, the cu was the other side of the house, loft boarded etc so decided against it because of the hassle. Tbh their bathroom was tiny anyway. I was a bit hesitant whether it would work but have run it to test on the low setting off a 32A supply on the bench. Think.....Avro Vulcan noise crossed with the downdraft of a Harrier! Not THAT bad tbh but it certainly "works".

It works by MAGIC and runs on wishful thinking. Current missus steps under it and the one in the video steps out. All remote controlled. With any luck there'll be a mute button. I wish!

Using moisture resistant, green plasterboard in the bathroom everywhere except the wet room corner which will be Aquapanel. Most surfaces will be wall tiled except for half a wall above the bath where she wants "a colour" that will be painted. Any requirement to use special plasterboard screws or will the generic black ones I've got stacks of do? Cheers

That's just being silly. Anyway I've got one of these: Seriously, I have one to go in. Test ran it at work. Big grin!

Oddly enough I've my mates old UPVC front door and frame to fit in place of my ropey old wooden back door. There's always a pikey at hand to take your old tat. Must be the Irish tinker blood in me!

Damn right I'm serious..... It's all about the journey not the destination! Just trying to figure how/where to put the LEDs.

You ever seen Artex? I can get there with a decent stick set but find MIG harder which is apparently the opposite to most people. Seriously, I think distortion would be a big issue.

I wonder..... Two st/st discs. Bottom one perforated with a hole matrix. Top one with a welded, stainless BSP boss. Would it work to sandwich a rubber gasket between them or even a large st/st "polo" and silicon the mating faces? Then a few strategically placed button headed cap screws to keep it all together.....

Sorted:

I can get laser grade stainless no problem and have it water jet or laser cut too.

Bossini, way, way out of my league price wise. I feel like the poor relation on here. If I had a pot to pi$$ in I might consider drilling holes in the lid and using that!
