Tbh I think it’s all BS . My council say ALL new builds must conform to the suds rules . Needless to say I found easily planning applications where it wasn’t even mentioned or if it was mentioned the “ condition “ wasn’t met . So the argument wasn’t difficult to win . Though I still had to pay for the condition to be noted as not met . 🙄
-
I guess what I’m trying to say is if it’s impossible to implement you may be able to get it ( kind of ) waived .
-
I had this issue also . It meant in effect I couldn’t do my build as 7m away from property and 2m away from boundary was impossible. So this ‘issue’ for suds was waived though noted “ did not comply “ by the council ; once I complained.

I agree - perception is the key . A tenant will moan their room isn’t 21 degrees . It’s actually 20.5 . They request I turn it up to 22 . I do nothing . Hour later ask them if that’s better - they say yes .
-
Yeah I’ll probably do that as it should ‘square ‘ it . I’d just rather the frame was all square and fixed I.e rigid .
-
Funnily enough it ain’t ( according to instructions ) . 2 hangs per main runner . Max there will be 4 main runners - so it’s no problem. The ‘wedge’ fixings into concrete work surprisingly well . I just don’t get how this is held square ( apart from the tiles ) . Still I’ll knock this shit up and we will find out when SWMBO accidentally knocks it and the entire ceiling comes down 👍
-
Struggling with this - thought it would be so easy . I just don’t get how the system works . Wire hangers . Too loose and they aren’t taking the weight of the main struct . Too tight and it hovers . No easy way to adjust ( twist and hope ! ) . Is there something better than hanger wire for a concrete ceiling ; that you can adjust the height as you go ? The main structs ( all structs ) that sit on the wall trim . They just sit there - not fixed . This ‘mesh’ isn’t going to have rigidity. The only thing stopping it swaying and moving will be the tiles . Am I doing this wrong ? ( seen on some USA video they rivet to the wall trim ) . Any advice welcome 🙄

Now there’s a question ! 🙄

I know it's not just the size that matters...

Were you at the blue parrot Friday ? -
Have changed the ufh temp ; nothing else . Will report back after a few days . Overshooting desired temp is rare . Floor coverings are non existent …
-
Pump speed is low . Have the self regulating actuators so flow and return don’t deviate much . I guess it’s the SWMBO factor - which is hard ( impossible ) to define ….
-
😁 - titles not helpful ! So with wet ufh ; what’s the relationship between the pumps speed , the ufh water temperature and the actual air temperature ( I.e the bit SWMBO complains about ) . We were running at a ufh temp of 30 degrees which Google implies is bitchingly low . Just set to 34 . Need hours to see how it affects air temp . But pump speed relevance ??? Essentially how do I balance these parameters to get the air temp I want ?

Wft a tack bloc ? . Googling showed me a semi nude female tied down over my bed . Presume you didn’t mean that ?

Or uss (expletive deleted) erprise . Sole mission to discover (expletive deleted) ups and new builds in the twat galaxy

Yeah , like your (expletive deleted)ed up bathroom saga

But you can't do (expletive deleted)ing anything else. Just the one simple benign task.... -

I'm going to order it when available. Also a Tesla sex bot. Wonder how the two would get on? -
Watch and learn how not to do it!
-
Just spoke to them. Stupid (expletive deleted) ; the trim goes the other way round. I did actually check this and assumed the trim visible width was the same as the struct width. But apparently not. (expletive deleted)ing Friday!
-
This trim is SO flimsy shit!. Also when the 'structs' come across to support the tiles how do they fit to the trim??? (expletive deleted)ing rubbish - gonna email the company now and rant .. A FRIDAY RANT!
-
Suppose once skimmed and painted - could trim over the trim ffs !
-
The plan was a suspended ceiling ; that office block look . The perimeter trim is so flimsy it bends under its own weight and deforms when a screw goes in . This why these ceilings always look crap ? At edges I pack it out as it can’t possibly bend . It still wobbles around . Im doing this in the wrong order I.e walls not plastered ; because waiting on a plasterer will hold me up . Intention was he will skim up to the trim . Then I will caulk along the edge as it’s bound to crack . Am I just being crap ? ( rhetorical question ) Thought the perimeter trim would be easy ! 😞
