Right ! Here’s a best bit of mine

To (expletive deleted)ing neat for me . Of course you are only showing us the best bits .

WiFi calling or get an external area for cellular and feed it into your house and a booster ( these are expensive )

I asked for one at my local hss hire shop - they told me to (expletive deleted) off

It was strange for me for other reasons: Every raspberry pi "didn't exist" i.e. couldn't list their IP's nor could I ping them ( everything else existed though ). I haven't rebooted any pi's before or after the event. Blu Iris must of been running as it was triggering lighting which means the ip camera must be working and indeed homeseer z wave was working to turn the light on. So it was like everything is working but you can't access anything. Don't like these situation especially when magic fixes them. Have ordered a portable HDMI screen so at least if it happens again I can plug that into the HA pc as it's headless. If that ever goes down ( it hasn't; but windows always decides to do an update at some point ) then we have no lights, no heating, no audio etc. etc. SWMBO approval factor then drops rapidly!!

MAC address is assigned an IP address . Some things are dchp so get allocated ; others static . All very strange that *everything* failed . I’ll put it down to a hub bug … 🙄

Nope

Maybe . But like you I could ping everything ….

Just IP

None

Checked that - nothing

Really strange thing happened today . Bear in mind I hadn’t been in IT mode today …. Firstly my chrome remote login to my HA server wouldn’t work I.e wasn’t online . I rebooted HA even though it’s headless but no joy . Tried logging into ip cameras . Browser just hangs - no error . So reboot hub ; reboot mesh network . Still no joy . Reboot netgear poe switches . Still nothing ! Can browse web pages no issue I.e wan - but nothing local . Tried WiFi just to hub ( no mesh ) same issue . Completely stumped ! No idea what else to check / do . 20 minutes later ( through no effort of my own ) all started working !! 🙄🙄🙄

The title of this thread is mis leading - I had to delete my original post .

7 years in - no end in sight

I think the hardest stage was the bit between the start and the end .

You’ll be no fun at the Xmas party !

You can do most the plumbing and electrics - save a fortune . I’ve written a book “ electrics & plumbing on a self build for numb nuts “ . It’s a great read - covers everything you need .its been endorsed and sponsored by this forum . PayPal me 100 quid and I’ll send you a copy .

You doing any of the work yourself ? My wife was ‘sceptical’ until after 5 yrs I got planning and then dug a 1100 tonne hole . “ Now you have to do it !” , she said - so I did 👍👍👍

Just needs a hand rail 👍

Needs to be a macerator though

Do what seems easiest ….

Yep I just did 1 hot , 1 cold manifold

Just checked mine for you . No washers ; but plenty of tape .

My futile opinion… not sure about that washers function . Put tape on it . You’ll soon find out when you pressure it up … Edit : looks like you’ve got the same manifolds I have . Don’t remember a rubber washer ….

Not sure BCO would like that!
