One question though . As I’m in a highly insulated house I.e lots of pir insulation an external 4g/5g Ariel might be good - this just standard coaxial ??

Don’t have a phone line - haven’t used one in 20 years - hate you have to pay ‘line rental ‘ for something you don’t use

Ah right! So for that night hawk type thing you would need a data sim of around £29 a month - not much of a saving really Though I see 3 do a 5g home modem for £29 a month unlimited data . Tempted by this . No upfront costs , no install . Also means later can swap/ upgrade to 5g ( my postcode currently only supports 4g )

I see 5g unlimited sim only deals for around £18per month . So need to factor that in . 5g will eventually replace Wi-Fi and indeed some ISPs say even wired connections ....

Lol Bloody spell check - really annoying me today . My soul is dammed but my soil samples were ok ? Theres also a website ( name escapes me ) where you enter your postcode and it tells you the expected ground structure . Was spot on for us —solid virgin rock - hard as f

Agree with a lot of the above . Though I do my own soul samples and sent them to a lab rather than a contractor - saved a few K just on that .

Nearing the point where I need to get this installed . Been wondering though if this sort of thing might be better https://www.amazon.co.uk/NETGEAR-MR1100-100EUS-Nighthawk-Downloading-Streaming/dp/B079H2LX8X/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=nighthawk&qid=1582376186&sr=8-3 Anyone use this type of thing as a permanent internet connection ? Though you have the relatively high initial cost would work out cheaper in the long term than a £30/£40 a month ‘wired’ ISP ( plus maybe additional install cost ) .

Doing bath upstand today . Sure looks like a grave .... ?

Yeah ; spell check must of had “ pc compliant “ mode activated . Glad it didn’t get posted

Bloody spell check was meant to be “ well gay “

Well jay !

I do have a reply but think it might get deleted you &&£77&£&)£ ! ?

Well it certainly looks like what I want ! But if the threads too long ( as it shortens to generate the fall ) I assume if I cut it I’ll burr one end and make it unusable?!?!?

Can’t seem to find what I think I need . Ok you’ve got a channel that you can bolt too - but I don’t see adjustable length threads with 110mm pipe clamps . I’m probably not looking at the right thing ?

Need to look into this unistruct a bit more . Have a fall ?

I’ve seen these before . I can’t lift my blocks because they’re under ufh and screed over them - so I have to fix from underneath

What do you mean exactly ? . You shuttered under the b & b and then poured concrete over the pipe ??

Not sure how to support it though . Metal straps screwed to the beams ? Prefer something more solid so the pipe can’t move ...

Chamber already outside and in place .

Although part of my "bathroom starts" thread - I think I needed to post this separately . So!. My 'internal drain' runs the width of the build below my beam and block. I intend to drop pipe work down from above then into the drain ( green shows proposed drain, purple connections from WC, sink, shower etc. etc). Is it as simple as this?. Just make sure they are connected as high as possible into the drainage pipework? - is that it?? Intended to glue everything and use only solid pipe. Will have to somehow have that long internal drain pipe supported.

Ok . Best ask them exactly . I took photos at every stage so I could always prove I did it . Wether I did it well or not is another question . I guess someone on here with a self build mortgage can answer better ...

Not sure with re sale . My architect ‘checked’ - not that he’s an expert either . If you are requiring a self build mortgage then I guess they would want some kind of ‘sign off ‘ for that . But then as it’s a ‘self build’ they might want sign off for practically everything e.g foundations , roof etc etc ...

Tbh it’s not that hard but is a lot of work . As mentioned waterproofing ( or managing water ingress ) is your biggest concern . I went with an internal membrane going into an internal perimeter drain then out to a pump . As ‘extras’ I put a land drain around the basement also thick polythene sheet externally - though admittedly these have or will fail .

Lol By the time I get to actually burn any wood I imagine stoves will be banned ? . Then I’ll just have to stick some red glow leds in there for effect ...

???? This timber has been stacked since I cleared the plot !! . So been ‘seasoning’ for best part of 6 years . ???
