You’ll need a poe switch though some recorders do provide it . You can’t go wrong with hikvision cameras . I’ve got 4 that have been recording continually to my Nas for a year now - no issues

We used IQglass . We liked the product ( but not the price ? ) . They have an amazing showroom to visit . Also our allocated project manager f’up things . He left the company sometime after . I complained about the issues he had caused . To give IQglass credit they did ( still are ) resolving them . So tbh I’m in 2 minds to recommend them . But felt I should be honest ?

As a mod in training I am recommending this thread now be locked . ??

Do they makes. xXXL version ?

You didn’t complain before

My penis usually hangs in the pan next door

I have an rk door and did indeed give a brick solid support under it . Must admit I’d be unhappy about brackets under it - I think our door weighed in at 150kg + . No way of getting a nice chunk of steel under there ? . Or ( maybe a stupid suggestion ) shuttering and pouring concrete to run under it ?

The doors great . I was sent 4 soft close runners ( all different ) and 7 set of varying instructions. 1 set of instructions ( the correct one ! ) and 1 correct soft close runner would of helped substantially! . Eclisse didn’t seem interested in my plight “ we have lots of variations just use the instructions “ . They didn’t know which instructions were correct for me . I gave up in the end ; ignored all instructions and just experimented making up the frame on the floor . Not really what you expect for a premium product . The instructions btw are all quite similar but have variations here and there .

Necrophiliacs are the new norm

Get on with it then ? . Post photos . Good luck - see you on the otherside

Fair enough. Just wasn't sure how much play you have with a copper pipe. Whilst with hep2o you can pull/push to some extent ( even if clipped nearby ) with no issue. But I'm not a copper man! ?

I tried to work this out also . Thought I’d had planned it correctly . But if it’s a bit tight and the shower controls are just 5mm too far back it’s an issue . Just allow for the possibility of moving the entire unit forwards or backwards . Not sure how that works with copper , but with Hep2o there’s enough give in the pipe to allow it . Thinking about it - it’s not possible with copper pipe is it ????

Well May be true . But I think that’s quite rare .

Copper is dead I’m afraid . Why go to all the hassle when hep2o makes it easy . Anyway @Onoff what’s the point of all the effort to do copper which no one will ever see when you can’t tile ? ??

I think though you need to take into account the value it adds to the property. What I mean is there’s probably little point adding a basement to a house thats market value is 400k . But if your build has a value of 1 million it might be worth it . Guess it’s an extreme version of never spend more than 10% of the value of the property on the kitchen . What added equity does a basement add ? . *Always* assume you will sell the property one day . Find a good estate agent and see what the ceiling price is in the area . Is it an affluent area ? . Good schools nearby ? ( hence larger properties preferred ) . So many factors to consider . A basement living is like a freebie as planning usually has little to object too .

Hep2o all the way . Fittings allow for rotation and require no skill . Once fitted leave exposed then pressure up and leave for a week ( at least that’s what I did ) then check every few hours for the slightest of weeps

This is really important but imho difficult because an extra mm here or there on the tile or adhesive will cause you issues . My advice is if you can access it from the rear make the fittings on a piece of ply or similar so you can move it forwards/backwards a bit ( not to strain the pipe fixings ) . If access from the rear isn’t possible ( not a euphemism ? ) make it so that you can get packers in there behind the screws if you need to move it forward .

Mines about 70% of the total build ?

Doing your own basement is *massively* cheaper ….

A wise man once said to me “ WTF are you doing?! “ He was right . WTF am I doing . Wisdom indeed

Or you could do everything like me ( yr 8 at the moment) but save literally 100’s of K .

This requires some effort ! . Less than half done ?

This is of course true . @Peg n Bru do you plan doing any of the work yourself ? . It will take much longer ?? ; but your labour costs are zero .

Yep
