  1. Latzel Dammstoffe. there are a few threads/posts on here about them. others have had success with them as well.
  2. still can. saves a fortune!
  3. Elite installations are great guys. they installed our doors and windows and couldn't be happier with their work. really nice to have on site as well. they didn't do our taping though as we did the whole house ourselves so i can't comment as to their ability with that!
  4. I had the Hikoki. Misfired like crazy. Took it in for repair and was told there’s nothing wrong with it, they just do that. Got my money back and bought a Paslode. It’s not missed a beat.
  5. looked in to this this morning and it's too late for me as i've already run the speaker cable for passive speakers. i might've considered it at first fix stage but i would probably have run speaker cable as well so as to not be limited to Loxone speakers. although the 1.5mm cable in the tree cable could also be used for audio i guess.
  6. i'm wondering if i could 3D print some that fit through the cutout hole?
  7. btw, don't suppose you can share the plans for the acoustic boxes? dimensions, materials etc? did you make it up as you went along or follow some plans obtained from the web?
  8. thanks. I'll look in to these tomorrow. I ran a cable to either side at the end of the double beds so I think that a stereo pair would be quite nice in that location.
  9. not looked at them tbh. I might do some reading tomorrow on the subject if I get bored at work.
  10. yeah, exactly, 2.5mm flex is not exactly going to break the bank!
  11. thanks. I'm looking at B&W speakers as well as my brother-in-law works for them and I'm trying to get a deal! for 1st floor speakers I can get access from the loft and add MDF backboxes but for the ground floor I'll need to cut a big square in the ceiling to add MDF backboxes and then patch up the repair. a pain but I didn't think of this early enough in the build when I was running the speaker cable. interesting that you're only running a single speaker in the bedroom, I'm struggling to come to terms with running only a single speaker and not a stereo-in-a-single-speaker in the bathrooms! it's just too many channels and too high a cost to justify stereo in the bathrooms. but I think in the bedroom it's worth it. I have a Unifi network so hopefully I won't have any issues with the audio server over that and I might simply run a 2.5mm cable from the PSUB to the network cabinet for reduced cost but I'll have a think about it.
  12. our lot just angled the banks back to a suitable angle. not sure how much science was involved in the angle but we didn't have any bank collapses. they did put plastic sheeting over it though to reduce the risk of rain causing soil slippage.
  13. hey @Kelvin! i'm starting to think about adding my audioserver to my setup. Can i ask what in-ceiling speakers you used? And also what PSU are you using to power the audioserver and stereo extensions? and a generic question to any knowledgable Loxone folk about Tree turbo. The audioserver datasheet says that Tree Turbo and Tree are not compatible. so i presume that the AudioServer doesn't connect to the miniserver by tree but accesses it via the network? the datasheet also says to use 1.5mm cable for the power for the audioserver/Tree turbo. but running the power and 24V through a cable size calculator it looks like 1mm would suffice. i have an audioserver and 4 stereo extensions but will probably add another couple of extensions to make it 6 in total. i can easily have a spare power outlet from my Powersupply and backup unit so that would be able to supply 240W of power but my audioserver will be in my network rack which will result in about a 5m length of wire from PSUB to the audioserver so i'm thinking about getting a standalone PSU just for the audio server and adding it to the DIN rail in the network cab as over 5m i'd need a 2.5mm cable. still doable though!
  14. i think we'll have plenty other options, don't worry.
  15. Our BCO said it was between us and our insurance company.
