What’s the real difference between internal and external cat ??

Had this happen twice on seperate rental properties... ???? Is this common ? Both tanks about 15 years old . It’s an expensive mess when it goes wrong . 2 tanks in 3 months £££££ - donations gratefully welcome

I didn’t know that !!! How ? These are poe ( not sure if that has any impact )

You can never have too many!

4 points per bed room. Multi Sensor (or 2 ) per room. ip cctv (not in bedrooms! - but maybe a covert one in the bathroom! ?) Wall mounted iPads to control HA (or use phone) etc.etc.etc. + lots of other smaller things like for TV etc.

What's this nonsense!!!

Think I’ve done all the wiring for the above ground floor . Bit of a nightmare if there’s an issue . Going to start wiring up the 50 or so cat5 cables ? ; boredom will become king ! It is indeed the Devils Corner !!

I think from memory ( need to check ) I used http://www.vacuum-panels.co.uk

Replaced that cable in the end . Still ordered 4 of those maintenance free connectors - bound to come in use at some point .

Not sure tbh . There was a cover over this which I ripped off so *assume* this is the finish ....

Here’s the far side vertical . Also steel ; no jamb to cover any screws .

Ahhhh Now this is where we differ ! . I have the ‘frameless ‘ version . No timber jamb . Will put photos up tomorrow. Tempted to just foam it on the far side ....

So you screw from behind I.e through the stud into the steel ? . Any special screws required for this ? ( presume wood screws won’t bite into the steel )

How did you fix the far vertical part of the frame ( on the right ) - doesn’t have any fixing holes at all .

Maintenance free junction boxes ordered ! thanks all ! Sparky won’t have a fit now !! ??

I think that junction box you link to will be perfect . I have plenty of space so that’s not an issue . Think I might get a few of those “ just in case “ I.e for next time !!

Ah bum ! Drill snagged one of my radial socket cables ! . Assume I don’t have to re thread an entire new cable through ? . What’s the proper way to join this ? I.e a way an electrician would be happy with ? this Ok ? Won’t have any access ; so needs to be fix and forget https://www.screwfix.com/p/debox-in-line-connector-box/8692H?tc=ST2&ds_kid=92700050366088830&ds_rl=1241687&ds_rl=1245250&ds_rl=1249401&ds_rl=1245250&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI46ebq_y35wIViZntCh2eRAhlEAQYASABEgJi-_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Got the frame roughly in . Is this enough ‘edge’ for the frame ? Allowing for plasterboard ( can use 6mm if I have to ) and skim . As no finished floor have allowed 20mm off screed floor

Marine ply on this wall not strictly necessary but .... you know ! So pocket door frame will fix next to this . Then I’ll build a ‘skinny’ stud wall in front of that - once I understand the pocket door ....

The anti slam instructions have beaten me ! . Perhaps it’s obvious when you have the door to hand . For now I shall just walk away to stop my cursing

Devolo powerline exactly allows this . One ssid and you roam between them automatically with no issues . Speed you get though seems to be down to your wiring . Some seem very fast - others relatively slow .

Devolo stuff has saved me many times . Pretty reliable. Suggest buying the latest models

Drain not in yet . It will be top left corner . So I’ll break out one of my concrete blocks then break through the beam and block . Walk on glass - to look at what though ? . I suppose I could put a flat screen tv under it . Awkward to watch in the shower but would be a talking point ! Think @Patrick was interested in buying them for a Kings ransom ....

Stud at nearest end and one at 3rd in . Probably add one more . Is this over engineered?? ?

Timber support stud in . Much thicker at that far end because a pocket door sits there . Height for tray seems about right once I board with marine ply . Assume some ‘noggins’ across the centre for more support a good idea .
