I was confused by this euphemism. Britney Spears postman ???

Wouldn't even ponder it Joe. PV and a battery for certain.

Stick a coin meter on the shower

Unless you are one of my tenants 🙁

That sounds great . But how do you work out your 1k ? . Can’t be at 5p a kWh ?? . Just interested 😁

Safety from what ? . Also can you please explain “ doing it properly “ - this is an alien term to me 🍷

@saveasteading as it’s Friday and wine time no point getting pedantic or technical 😁🙄👍

Erm . Bottom board / pb screwed to that yes . Grey or pink what ? 🙄 . Fire protection of what ? Steel beam on underground concrete fortress ??? . Remember no BC checks anything - so ……. 🤔 followed by 🙄 followed by 🤣

Given we need to reduce our dependancy on gas due to climate change and war - what do we think of electric combi's? Regardless of government initiative millions of households won't ( or can't ) be updated sufficiently to benefit from ASHP for example. With gas prices set to rocket does replacing a gas combi boiler with an electric one start to make sense???

I was going to screw horizontal 3x2 across the battens next

Glued those noggins in the steel - they ain’t going anywhere. Regarding this method with drill , timber and clamp ….. It will work but … when I properly workout how many holes I have to do and access to the steel then it’s not going to be much fun . Also ( sad to say ) my Dewalt drill died ; smoke ; splutter ; dead 😞 So had to order to new one . Realising as usual a man fails whilst trying to save pennies I also ordered a cheap mag drill . Not Dewalt ; but it’s yellow 💪

Funnily enough I ordered them from eBay and the seller never sent them !!! Dewalt scammer !!

I’m guessing my current drill bits aren’t man enough . Even trying to get a decent pilot hole is hard work .

As in that video I linked . teq drill bits . Wd40 , Jack . Give that a try tomorrow 💪💪💪🇺🇦

Yeah I ain’t going down the gun route . You should see the damage I can do with a ‘harmless’ foam gun

Did some of these ages ago with ‘ homemade ‘ coping’s . Anyway ; doing properly soon 🙄 One issue was that copings / quoins aren’t like concrete blocks they don’t soak up the cement - so don’t seem to bond well . Should I be using something different or a particular sand/cement mix ??

I think you need more practice- come and do my job 😁

Lots of nice pretty colours everywhere now - forum does look better . Emoji’s not visible in previous posts though 😐

??

Probably not . Had them lying around …

Oooooooooo ! A new toy ! ( that’s unlikely to harm me ) . I’ll try that YouTube suggestion first . Probably got maybe 20 holes to do ..

Yeah. I think I read that before. For some reason I see that as an accident waiting to happen i.e. don't trust myself....

??

Think I've got it.

Got this area aswell . I can’t drill up ; nor down ? The blue insulation I can rip out . But still need to fix timber to the steel so I can have a ceiling support . Unless I can glue timber in there ???? ( it’s a light weight suspended ceiling )
