That would be a mega nightmare ! It was originally solvent welded . Tested . Seemed all good - then the leak some time later . Hence the white tiger seal . I can run a tap continuously and zero leak . I suspect when there’s more water the splashing causes the issue e.g emptying a bowl of water when perhaps washing machine is emptying . Pump’s busy then ; the water flow is greater . So I suspect a tiny gap on the top of the boss . Can get my phone camera in there to look . Nothing obvious - no damp spot anywhere . I could do a nasty cheat 🙄 . You can see the plastic wall membrane which leads to the perimeter drain … So a simple ‘canopy’ to redirect the occasional drip to that would solve it . But I don’t do bodges ! We ALL know that ! 👍

This has leaked before . Used tiger seal ( bought white deliberately so I can see it ) . Been fine for many months . The white waste is grey water pumped up . I can hear the water hit the back of the main drain pipe so I assume it’s splashing up and finding a slight gap in the seal . The problem with the tiger seal is it’s a tube in a caulk gun - I really need to get over the top of the boss strap and apply something . Anything similar but perhaps applied with a brush ? . I’ll be doing it blind I.e can’t see top of boss strap . ta

The stupidly over priced parts arrived ! Strangely enough they are a few mm different to my attempted effort . So the waterless trap , rubber washer , fitting itself all just a tad smaller than the bits I tried to get - so not compatible . I assume this is deliberate to stop people like me ! Anyway - will attempt my double trap thing tomorrow.

Done that a few times

Vat claim and sign off
Pocster replied to nod's topic in Self Build VAT, Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL), S106 & Tax
I just stuck the lot in 1 spreadsheet for hmrc. I have other receipts in their not showing vat directly ( like B&q ) which they never questioned. -

One of the receipts doesn't show VAT but says printed on it all prices include VAT - surely that's sufficient? Even gone back to my bank to dig up credit card payment to the supplier from 5 years ago. -
Vat claim and sign off

Having some issues ! gdpr and stuff causing issues ! One receipt lists all items and payments from a vat registered company but the handwritten invoice doesn’t say vat - just total value of sale . The company don’t have any record of the sale due to gdpr and can’t re-write the invoice to show vat as to potential fraud . Any ideas how to persuade them ?? -
Is that 6kwh or 6KwH ?

My final architect told me it’s 50% planning and 50% ‘politics ‘ . It’s a game I think . Initially with your 1st application you are naive and think it’s all followed to the letter . Once you suss it ain’t then you start to play the game also . It’s not especially difficult in my experience to ‘trick’ the lpa into a corner where they have no choice but to support your application officially; yet behind the scenes they don’t .
-
I was being sarcastic . I recorded it - it’s aggressive and defiant not posturing. Lpa didn’t like it when I told them I had recordings 😊 He retired ; 3 yrs later ( and more applications and hassle of course ) it passed . Total of 5 yrs to get planning . I play the long game 🤣

Customisation is available.

Or how a planning officer tells you he will make sure you never get planning until the day he retires They allowed to make vague threats ? Or told to stop putting in planning applications - you will never get this ! Sounds a bit hostile , yeah ? Just as well I recorded this and other conversations…. You think they might be pressured to “ make this one go away “ ? . Picked the wrong person for a fight 💪👍😊

That’s the delux model ! No returns , no refunds - you know that !

During my build I had 3 different architects / planners for planning applications etc . All 3 said the same . My first ‘architect ‘ use to work in the councils planning department - said it was common knowledge to get the applicant to pull the application rather than it’s refused ( perhaps the planning officer refusing it gets a rap on the knuckles if he rejects too many ? ) . As a side note this planner had to leave the council because he was taking backhanders to pass applications - his pass rate was very high . I even got the call a few times … Perhaps it’s all ran legit now … 🙄

I sell inflatables for sure 😉
-
Planners also call you up telling you it will be refused , but ; if you pull the application now it won’t then get listed as refused . Why ? . Because the planning department get penalties for rejecting too many applications. This way their ‘pass’ rate looks really high ….

100% . Dead long time . Alive short time . If you can afford it and want it - do it . You can then regret it later 😉

Think I’ll make a quick call to Hmrc to make sure they fail your claim . -
CCTV not working after internet provider change
Pocster replied to Dan1983's topic in Networks, AV, Security & Automation
Are you certain nvr is connecting to your new hub ? . Because the hub says no ; yet nvr screen has a valid ip ( supposedly ) but isn’t ! Reboot nvr - make sure it connects to your new WiFi .
