I've had a few reasonable successes at various ways for a doorbell sound to pause or interrupt any audio playing on the whole house audio system. But none work exactly how I wish. SO! Is this type of thing possible? 3 Raspberry pi's with amps provide the audio input - but just one set of speakers for output. It would be nice that some of the input's can be 'mixed' and some are muted. For example If rasp1 is the doorbell audio that could be mixed and be audible with say rasp2 i.e. doorbell audio and music simultaneously . But if rasp3 plays ( this is a voice announcement ) I would want it to silence rasp2 i.e. so just the announcement is made no audio from rasp2. I can see various cheap ebay/amazon type mixers but not sure if I can 'configure' which inputs can be mixed/muted. Anyone understand what I am asking???

Just what you said to me last night

I need diy sos to come to my build . We would see plenty of real tears then .

Get a little closer . Yes that’s it .

Yes I know - it’s nothing to do with what you’re thinking . I use that title in the sense there’s no ‘best’ way to tile in certain circumstances- just go for it . Next week going to tile the entire ground level floor . Floor tiles ( already laid ) in bathroom and ensuite are different . So for those rooms the general rule of lining up a whole tile at the entrance makes sense . But to do an entire floor with other doorways ( same tile into those rooms ) - makes avoiding ‘skinny’ or tricky cuts impossible. My wobbly assumption is to do the whole/centred tile but off the front door - so everything is relevant to that .....

Don’t remember seeing you in the line out at the end . You know the bit where everyone pretends to cry . Then Nick Knowles looks at the camera and says something touching , then I say to the tv F off .

eBay price

Can I have his number please , I have some work for him .

Trades that rip you off certainly “ play tricks” on you . My building site is like diy sos . I’m Nick “ tiny knob “ Knowles , Billy , the others I can’t remember all rolled into one !!

Agreed . But it must crack ! . They then probably mist coat it , wait 10 mins , then paint it . I know they are pushed for time even with 300 guys onsite - but it must cause issues .

@BartW I went for it and bought the eBay mat . Not laid any yet but seems the same as the ditra though perhaps the plastic feels cheaper . Fleece is the same . For me that’s a saving of around 600 quid .

SWMBO had a repeat on ( fancies Nick Knowles I think ) Anyway , they skimmed an entire room “ ready for painting tomorrow “ ? I can see they have dryers in the room - but surely that almost guarantees the plaster cracking ? . You want natural slow drying yes ?? . So assuming it doesn’t crack and is bone dry next day how do they do it ? Just wondering !!

“ Nasty Nick from Wales “ that’s what they say ...

You mean a home delivery ? Not a young man lured into your trap ...

You missed out if I was doing it

Yep It’s a right pain . Also all trades seem pretty much flat out . I booked my plasterer 3 months ago ! I’m reluctant to just use anyone so am chasing up a recommendation.

I didn’t . I assume it doesn’t need to be waterproof as outside the tray . I would recommend a decoupling Mat . Then you use flexible tile adhesive on that and flexible grout .

In my experience pot luck A builder who looked into checkatrade said it was a joke . my advice - simply get a recommendation from someone you know for a trade you need . I’ve done this a few times now and though sometimes less than perfect it’s usually pretty good workmanship

@Onoff perhaps ... if you can find them you could hire the Pocster-Team “ I love it when a plan f ups “ ” shut it fool ! - just paint the wall “

Optimistic !!

You need to re read my cracked spray paint thread again for an adrenaline rush !!

TeaBag ...

In 2021 a crack diy unit was sent to prison by planning committee for a crime they didn't commit. This man promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Bristol underground. Today, still wanted by the government, he survives as a soldier of screw ups. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find him, maybe you can hire the Pocster-Team.

I ‘s the master mo fo bruv’s !

Watery emulsion again ( just for luck ); applied with roller . Hot today . Touch dry in 10 mins . So 30 mins later go for Mat vinyl with roller . Not looking too bad at all ! . Hard to judge properly as drying out - tomorrow will be the true test of my method
