  1. Yes - if it worked that way . It’s cheap let it be cheap for everyone . But it doesn’t work like that . Fission power eventually super cheap; but never cheap for us . Large scale cheap yes ; but never fully passed on to consumer ever
  2. Get solar , get batteries- stop whining ! It was ALWAYS predictable that energy prices would increase and undoubtedly still will . Look back at old threads on here ‘mocking’ pv, battery ….
  3. You are not alone . Experienced most of that inc party wall disputes . First piece of advice is (expletive deleted) your neighbor . Let the solicitor due their job and rely on facts and law . These type of people either make you or break you . You got this 👍
  4. These are not great fun to install
  5. 😊 . You can go “ as far as you can “ off the original drawings . Without being ridiculous. As mentioned if no one complains I.e neighbor ; no one cares . If you do ‘grab a bit extra ‘ just be prepared to give a reason if caught . e.g I had this . Neighbor complains house is higher than drawings . Drawings show house against ‘original wall ‘ . The original wall didn’t exist ( I had knocked it down ) - so is my new wall higher than original wall ? . Also ( as a plan B ) I claimed to the enforcement officer that I had added extra floor insulation which had increased the height slightly . As a side note . My build ‘grew’ 1 metre longer and 0.5m wider
  6. So bitumen’d along this bit . Did clear off the loose soil . But as I painted it on I created a depression as it pulled the loose stuff up . Will paint again later today . Tomorrow will stick a bit of cement in that depression though . Also bought a larger tin - ready to paint the entire width of the lane if need be . Won’t bother with anymore water tests as it’s incredibly difficult too make it leak but Mr. Rain seems very good at its job .
  7. Strangely enough my gym has constant leaks . Metal flat roof , very large . Been like that since I joined many years ago . They’ve had various contractors in over that time . But once you go up that flight of stairs on a rainy day you are nearly always greeted my the strategically placed buckets .
  8. Yeah I could just blast a sq metre of the lane with it . But I really want to know the exact area . It was a fair bit of rain , some heavy , so a good test .
  9. I must cook better quality steak than you 😊
  10. Now I cook a lot of steak and I have no issues
  11. First proper rain for weeks . Still a slight leak . So will bitumen paint a wider area of that corner outside
  12. Great website ! https://www.silicon-ark.co.uk I found https://www.silicon-ark.co.uk/PSF100A-0-5-Pressure-switch-by-multicomp?search=Pressure
  13. So I’m going to use a standard phone charger to a usb step down I.e to 3v . Wire it into a zigbee door sensor . Then wire dry contacts from reed switch to alarm panel . This should get reliable HA in event of the alarm . Its just the pressure sensor - might take a punt .
  14. The saniflo has a pressure switch . You drill a hole in the top of the saniflo , place a plastic tube it it . The saniflo then sits ontop the unit with the pressure switch in the head of the tube .
  15. Maybe this alarm box ? https://www.tritoncontrols.co.uk/alarms-and-controls/basic-alarm-easyfit.html?ppc_keyword=&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=12120096619&gbraid=0AAAAACdOt02h4JZ2Q8Pdc71YfcucXK6V4&gclid=CjwKCAjw1dLDBhBoEiwAQNRiQThOWqB0p_yPqPWb-ZbaDP_56QCHJGeU_7bjHp0DB25wdPJVVM12UBoC-98QAvD_BwE But a suitable pressure sensor switch seems to be a bit of a minefield of possibilities
