Though @saveasteading . Access is tricky . I can’t fix half gutter brackets in the middle . Span is 3m - walls too high . Some metal ‘bar’ spanning that gap that the actual gutter hangs on ?? or hire scaffolding ffs !

It’s probably the best plan tbh . So a half round running outlet off the gutter end . Various 30/45 degree turns to get over the wall ; then it just dumps into the horizontal metal half gutter . That it ??

So black down pipe and fittings going into a Lindab gutter running horizontal across the wall to the water butt . That what you’re suggesting ? . Will a half square gutter not overflow ? ( as opposed to an entire pipe ) . Opened up that sewer access - all good for the overflow to run into . This little “ automated watering system “ going to cost me £500 at this rate 🙄

So tank and as I said presume should be mdpe overflow as buried into a hole in that thingy .

I checked that access chamber thing - it’s not an access chamber is it . Anyway for reasons I can’t recall I put it in sometime ago . So the overflow could run into this . Did think about taking the copings off and chasing a trench in the wall to embed the pipe ; but as that is far too much work poo poo’d the idea . I think my only real option is a black plastic pipe right at the top of the wall just below coping level running horizontal.

IT’s got to run horizontal though . Chat advised me against putting a butt in that below ground section as the overflow from that puts more pressure on my sump

Getting more complicated Can’t have transducers more than 1 metre from screen . So transducers will need an esp32 to send data via WiFi for other esp32 with tft to pick up 🙄

I think if I do that it will look autistic rather than artistic ! Another issue . If I do stick a water butt to the left the overflow can’t just go over the soil so I should put into the main drain ?? Theres a small access chamber nearby ( photo tomorrow ) so overflow say mdpe buried in ground and drill into side of sewer chamber ??

I usually do . But esp32 for embedded stuff ; no power off issues I.e memory card corruption . Even smaller and lower powered . Oh and cheap , real cheap .

Come on guys ! Esp32 ( especially s3 ) is awesome ness !

Bit stuck as to best route here . Want to tap off the roof guttering in the top right . SWMBO not keen on a visible pipe . I can run on the wall or on the copings ( look shit ? ) , or straight down to a water butt . Any other suggestions ? . Best place is yellow/ green route as tank can be out the way . But it creates a visible pipe .

Ummmm , sorry , missing the engineering ‘thing’ here

Decided building a house and fixing leaks is a bit boring after 10 years . Like HA but hate shite like yaml . esp32 through visual studio with platform io and C !! Awesome ! Proper stuff !! So 1st ‘work’ is a water level monitor in the automated watering system tank. Tft display with animating water and percentage full ( got chat to write the code lol ) . Controlled via Alexa ; but default run time can be overridden via a http request by speech . Lvgl for the rendering etc . Ultrasonic transducers to measure water depth Awaiting parts to arrive . So (expletive deleted)ing cool … Come on you other nerdy types - you must be on this also !

(expletive deleted)ing rubbish this website

Ok , ok . You wonderful people … keep on topic otherwise you’ll feel my tip !

One hot , one cold . Choices , choices ….

Right ! As acting mod - can we please keep on topic 🤠

I know the feeling big boy 😉

I think it would probably just be the mistresses bedroom

Maybe a floor unit? . Usually cheaper . Still got to create a vent hole through the wall either way

I’d like it on record @Nickfromwales whom started this degrading dirty talk . Yet has he been banned for a month like I suffered ? , no . I think a month in the wilderness will be good for him . @Onoff suck on that fella !

Yeah I read that . I have tinnitus so noise probably not an issue . Split system better ? ( not just cost ) . That’s not just plug ‘n play though is it ?

You’re such a dirty (expletive deleted)er ! . I can’t double use the glory hole for air con can I !

Yeah - knew I’d end up here eventually . So I’m looking on just 1 bedroom for now . I believe a mono block system ? . Plug into a socket , 6cm hole through wall ( 2 hole system better I believe ) ; job done ? That simple ? , any advice or recommendations?? ta !
