I sent my “I deserve a discount” email . No reply yet . Don’t ask don’t get . My gut feeling is they will offer me 15% discount . God shines on the cheeky ?

No one see Reggie in China last night ? They move fast on everything! . As said a few decades ago fields now the world centre for technology......

Yeah so it’s really a bulk discount or frequent buyer discount.

Sure . But what difference does it make selling a £1000 item with 15% discount to “trade” and selling it to me ? . The seller gets the same amount regardless don’t they ?

Oh I know that . Some suppliers do some don’t . It really was about discount to trade and not to me .

I want to make a purchase - the seller won’t drop the vat even though it’s a self build . They will offer a 15% trade discount if bought via a company account - which I don’t have . What difference does it make to the seller ? I.e sell to trade 15% discount or sell to me 15% discount . Price would be the same ; what’s the benefit to the seller ? Naturally I want 15% discount even including Vat . cheers

I think some glazing over that would look incredible!

Splendid news ! A few cm saved !!

So you are saying I attach board direct to pocket door frame? - Is that what you mean ? hence no stud required?

Ok. My timber frame is all up and I'm looking at a pocket door (I think that's around 75mm thick) ; then of course you have the stud + plasterboard on top of that. It's all a bit tight - I'm trying to fit the pocket door in an ensuite and obviously eat into the ensuites width. My question is can I just use 'chunkier' timber but set it the wrong way round? i.e. so it reduces the width? Or indeed any other suggestion that allows me to build the thinest possible wall (not load bearing) . The wall will just be tiled and is predominantly inside a shower enclosure. I assume there's something out there for exactly this problem. Cheers

Yeah that looks like it's reached it's life end. I don't know . You feck around and put a nice new bathroom in and within 6 months you'll have a nice wet patch on the ceiling all because you didn't sort the roof out. Tut tut !?

God is watching me!

No point swearing it will get splatted out so .... I’ll be careful with what I say as I know the mods can edit the comments

The cruel ness of you lot is killing me ! ???

Ouch @SteamyTea you are on fire today ? . You just wait until next week when my glazing is in !!!

Yeah it’s something like that . I reset it and configured it then tested it with a few poe things . Worked like a charm - nice bit of kit. Better than buying a ‘modern’ new one for like 700 quid or more !

Yes I think this makes life simpler . Stranded to sensors - solid to any face plate points . Bought ages ago a 2nd hand mega poe router off eBay - 48 ports I think - for like 50 quid !!!

So should I just go stranded everywhere ? For everything???? Except any faceplate Ethernet connections which can be solid core .

Used to make fire long before fax machines

What’s a fax machine?

A big glass required! ? fixes everything!!

Yeah ; the thread title is wrong it should be “ Cat cable solid / stranded “ - that’s the issue I think ! . Your comment though is much appreciated...

So ! After some ? - purely to lubricate the thought process . I could do this - seems like a lot of fuss to make a ‘stand’ just to hold a solid cable connector - which can be accessed through the ceiling hole in the event of an issue .

Ok ! I guess my real issue is ... I run a solid cable to say a sensor in a ceiling . Then keystone to a stranded patch to device . But that means really the solid termination point should really be a faceplate - so fixed and unmovable . What if at a later date there’s an issue at that point ? . No loft access . Tiny hole for device in ceiling so can’t access solid cable faceplate . I could do solid just to Wall faceplates and stranded to sensors . But in reality there won’t be any wall accessible faceplates !

Might need a new tool! I do love the hyper, death defying, end of the world, save the universe music!!
