  1. But you have to connect these up for them to work; you know that by now yes??? ( though you got away with a cold bathroom for another year! )
  2. Or they used my special "DeWalt Squirrel Saw" as suggested by @Mr Punter
  3. This is important
  4. I see . Thought maybe it could measure the flow rate in the pipe over a period of time . Other than that install cctv in bathroom and set a ‘trigger’ zone over the pan . As a bonus get some nice footage
  5. I’m none the wiser . Is a big job bigger than a proper job ?
  6. Can it not differentiate between a big flush and little flush ??
  7. Tbh I looked at a way of boosting the mvhr when a ? is done . I have a manifold of manifolds so everything has its own pipework for water feed . Therefore in theory a “ flow sensor “ on the the toilet cistern pipework could trigger the mvhr boost . But I have a million much more fun / destructive HA things to implement at the moment.
  8. I reckon that can be made....
  9. A man that takes a problem and claims there is no problem is a woman. A man that takes a problem and complicates it so it's a problem for another man is a CHAMPION! The said 2nd man needs to man up .
  10. My ufh screed cracked months later across the doorways . I have used ditra matting - just so I sleep better at night ??
  11. Depends on door styles/handles etc. etc. But around 1k each inc vat ( new build so I get that back ).
  12. Also I used 'lite' weight concrete posts. Cost a bit more but much easier if you are doing it on your own.
  13. I had a slightly similar issue. I wanted concrete fence posts but all my ground had been dug out and would be back filled ( underground house ). I was worried the 'earth' wouldn't be solid enough. So I shuttered the length I needed and plenty of depth. I then placed chucks of PIR insulation where each post would go ( with some allowance for play! ). From memory I wedged / screwed them in situ to the osb / scaff board shuttering. Then got a lorry load of concrete pumped in along the shuttered trench. Not sure if that's the best way to do it!. Once concrete cured fixing the posts was easy ( more work trying to get the PIR out ). Concrete posts have been up 4 years now - not one has moved. Hope my explanation is clear.
  14. With Duren during all the Covid stuff I think my wait was around 3 or 4 months ?
  15. I’ll ask again to the gods that be ; can we please have a “ ffs “ emoji . I need to post that 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times at least
  16. Look at local planning applications and see which architect names keep coming up . As for cost of architect I did double or quits on a successful application. This was my 3rd architect and once passed I owed him 15k . I pre agreed to pay him 1k a month in cash ? If not your forever home just design / build with selling in mind . Don’t need everything in it .
  17. Water always gets where you don’t want it . I can’t understand why the tiler thinks a gap ( no matter how small ) is ok in a wet area . It may be possible to grout that - certainly try before silicone on a small area .
  18. Yes on both points ! look great and cost a packet . Great to install - fab quality on everything
  19. Got other walls to do . Why spend £1000’s just to get 6 strawberries
  20. Maybe . I can then (expletive deleted)ing hang her
  21. This is a SWMBO thing so minimal cost is essential!!
