Hang on I could stick tacky led lights in there for added cheapness effect!

SWMBO isn't actually worried about a ledge . It's me . I think I can live with a ledge and everything fitted far tighter and better ( using less materials ). Talked myself into it.

Are you suggesting the timber frame higher up is effectively hanging off L shaped frame cramps?. So the tile backer frame is sat with a gap ( because of the cramps) in front the other frame ???

Frame cramps? - allow ME to do it perfectly?? No additional services to cover up - but a multitude of sins for sure. I'm still worried about a lumpy frame effectively 'hanging' off the timber frame. The more I think the more I worry. The upper part (timber frame of the build ) I could just screw the tile backer board straight too (with a few extra noggins) nice and easy. Still tempted by a lip/ledge to avoid 2 ton's of material falling and killing SWMBO....wait a minute......

Lol I just set it and forget it. I do run it on auto. So it will boost when a shower occurs and have it only for night time ( schedule ). Equally I haven't touched summer bypass ( I assume automatic? ) and frost protection just leave alone. My vent Axis is running very cool. I guess because it extracts the heat it cools itself aswell; this I think is normal. When you do commission it it sounds like an F16 taking off - don't be scared ?

SWMBO wanted this and I've considered the amount of pain ; financial and time wise. Needless to say I lost the battle! The wall in question is approx 7m high and 4m wide. I have to bridge different wall 'levels' i.e. not level. As you can see below ground ( stud against walled waterproof membrane ) I'm ok. As I get higher the upper house timber frame gets further away from me!! I can bridge to it - but I'm worried that's a lot of weight hanging off timber -> timber -> timber ( the frame! ). I *could* put a horrible ledge step in it just to get over the issue - but that will just collect dust and probably ( once the staircase is in ) be unreachable. Should i worry about the weight?. Gone for 12.5mm tile backboard to support the beast. (expletive deleted) @Onoff and his bits of flints glued in a box - this is where it's at ! ?

Looks like you shat in those shoes

Yeah that’s a better plan ! So cut and just make an air tight box . Won’t cause condensation or anything to occur would it ???

Don't think so. It's not as flexible as it looks... Did see this though... https://www.bpcventilation.com/75mm-90-bend

Living on site is worse!. Now I go and look at things all the time and worry about the next f up. These red mvhr pipes change from a low level ceiling to a higher level ceiling. The problem is ;that higher ceiling needs to happen as soon as possible after the lower one ( due to staircase and head height issues ). But the pipes of course need a 'run' to gradually rise to the new level. Can I cut them and fit some kind of 90/45 junction so I can change height far quicker???

Mods are slow today ( hung over ) - you’ll be just a distance memory soon ….

Not your arse ! Not again please

My seed ? In your bed ? ?

Beds not for sleeping anyway …

Expectations are high so don't (expletive deleted)ing disappoint!

Don’t need to have mvhr . The switch in it may already function on rate of change rather than absolute. I have multi sensors in each room which also measure humidity linked to my HA So I can do whatever I want , so there !

Nah

Yeah could be . it reacts really quickly to humidity I.e you have a shower and within 5 seconds it boosts automatically . It’s on ‘low’ at night ( when I hear it most of course ) - the tone does change so assume it’s reacting to humidity. I did see that you can configure low/medium/high to whatever you want - but I’m reluctant to lower it to reduce noise and it’s ability to work correctly. Originally it wasn’t planned to be in the mistresses bedroom , but you know … things change . The biggest “ I’ve got an mvhr “ thing I noticed is zero condensation in bathroom/ensuite after a shower . The air is clear of that humid mist you usually get . Air in house always feels fresh ( if I turn it off for 12 hours , go out , come back , even mistress and SWMBO notice ) . I will try sealing tape first . If that knocks 10db off I think that would be great .

That your “ mate “ ?

I agree . I’m Pocster because my real name “ massive twang “ would cause issues

Got mine ! It’s awesome ! 43” inch hdmi 2.1 tv at the end ( essential for ps5 ) - Netflix etc. Sorted ! Mistress more than happy with it

Erm - so it never gets done ! ?

Maybe . I did think of that . Might try some ‘rape’ as a test but expect to fail ….

It’s not noisy but the variable whirl of the fans is beginning to bug me ( it’s like SWMBO constantly talking ) Decibel in the cupboard 55 . Directly outside with door closed 38 So I assume the sound is leaking from gaps around the door . What’s the best way to insulate against sound along the door opening ? .Also as a 2 door cupboard the gap between each door ???

You are the hare ; I am the tortoise @Onoff is the snail moving backwards
