They are ok . But as you said thread length can be an issue . I also used metal strapping . Cant remember where I got my hangers but just looked Screwfix - do them 👍

The geberit frames are ace . You’ll see something on them and think “ what’s that for ? “ . Days later when fitting it you’ll go “ ahhhhhh , now I see “ . I’ve done 2 - no issues - you’ll be fine . You’re getting there don’t sweat it . Anyone can do plumbing it ain’t rocket science ( waits for abuse from plumbers ) 😁

To make you feel better ….. It was all SO neat when I started with just 1 red pipe …. 🙄

Stick a hose pipe in one end to test . Also ( funds permitting) you could use a geberit toilet frame ( height adjustable ! ) if you really struggle to line things up ( assuming you’ve not already bought a floor standing pan ) . I’m waiting to see your hep20 mess 😁👍👍

Yes but you are learning 😁

Solvent weld is your friend 😁😁👍😉

Or 7 ; probably nearer to 10 😎

Think of the future . Increased gas / electric costs . Over insulate for sure . Pv and battery I think an essential. wet ufh ; ASHP . Triple glaze . Of course budget may be an issue …. The journey is the destination.

I’ve had artex skimmed in the past . Can’t believe we used to ‘ like ‘ it …. Be cheaper @Onoff ; as long as you don’t do it

World ended

Can’t you just get the artex skimmed ?

Wonder if these will work on horizontal surfaces ? I.e flat roof sky lights .

Yep . I can be awake 2am thinking about time fitting / wiring / “ did that wrong “ ….

Garage is an ideal indoors yet outdoors place . Why are you not going down the battery route now ?

True . I think the relative inefficiencies ( I.e how many hours of extremely high temperatures and low ) are very small . Follow your head 😁👍

Yep. Also again in my opinion indoor space is 'valued' space i.e. sq meterage has value and use. If you have loads of unused space indoors then I think it's fine. But when you want big sofa's / arcade machines/ massive kitchen/ downstairs WC - then batteries go outdoors 😁

If you have the space then that would be cool.

The current SE battery has a built in fire extinguisher ....... Outside is better in my opinion because if there is a fire/incident better outside than in. Heat build up (especially in lofts etc. ) not an issue if outside. Also getting a 130kg battery in a loft ( or replacing it; won't be too much fun ). Most of all though outside gives space for additions/alterations at a later date.

He only has one - so more central I believe

That’s not a photo of his head

Yeah start on a Friday ! Always a good plan - then when you’re (expletive deleted)ed off with it you can 🍷

Nah . All steps at once . Some days plumbing , some days electrics , some days IT . Mix it up - same thing week after week gets boring . Also it makes your site look a right mess so people think you are busy !!

@Thorfun you doing a manifold ? With each run a seperate feed ? . Jointless ? ( messier but ‘safer ‘ )

Goodie !

Oi - lots of talk but no photos of messy pipework !
