Wisely I installed one of these so I can drain the outlet pipe from macerator . Had a few times where I need to drain it . Problem is this cap leaks - it’s just a screw cap with a washer . I’ve tightened with grips but can’t really go any further . Are all end caps equal ? . Nothing I can smear round the thread that will make a water tight seal but won’t glue the cap on !!? . I did think of plumbers tape - but it’s too awkward to get to …

I’d crane that in . Have before . Otherwise it’s a heavy mofo situation -

Acro props . Cheap to buy - with some wedges so they don’t drift . I had to do this for a large concrete ceiling . Rather than hire 50 of them I bought them . Left them in situ for 3 months - SE said 1 month was enough . But you know …. -
Looks like someone dropped their nuts through the floor twice .

So clean any grit etc off then just spray the entire track ? ( not just the wheel runners ) .

Sliding doors at the rear have become very difficult to open. I assume grit etc. is causing the issue. How should I clean this to get a smooth action again?; just tip water over track to flush out grit?; wd 40? Cheers

Far too neat for my liking

Just a thermostatic mixer off the UVC. Plenty of power ; no issues ( with shower or uvc/ashp for that matter ).

Flexi’s can fail for no obvious reason . Agree some must be better than others . Now ( after experience ) I only use flexi where I have too - do a visual inspection every 12 months for any sign of decay / leak . My new kitchen I installed copper rod fittings . I feel happier about that .

Take my new robot vac . Couldn’t get it to connect to my WiFi. No idea of the issue - no error message except fail Googling … only apparently connects to 2.4gz not 5 . Mines both with band steering . So I disable 5ghz - still doesn’t work . How would you explain how to do that to someone without a lot of detail ? Google more . Apparently for reasons unknown doesn’t like a router address of 192.168.8.1 - exactly what I have . So I change that ; which naturally breaks everything else . Explaining how to do that would be very difficult if the person you are explaining it to is just following your commands . That thought gets it working ! - shame everything else is bust though due to router IP change … -

No it’s not difficult. But that depends on your knowledge and understanding of these things . People think sometimes you can write a step by step guide that you just follow . But you can’t ; as there are plenty of unknowns and what ifs . Router config , firewall , ip address setup etc. etc. There are video guides online . But again if there’s any variation in what you have to the video and you’re simply copying the steps ; then it might require a fuller understanding.
