  1. I’ve got 2 small walk on sky lights ( not the ones that have caused so much humour over the years ! ) only small 30cm square . Was going to install some kind of electric blind . This room will be an occasional bedroom ( mistress brings friends home ) so need to block out the light and “ viewing opportunities “ Electric blind looks like work and cost for a custom size . So was looking at this kind of thing … but cheaper !! photo just for attention https://www.akwil.com/Smart-Film-PDLC-Photovoltaic-Film-All-Colours-Available/4113-switchable-smart-glass-electrolytic-pdlc-film-custom-sizes-many-colour-options-white-black-grey-pink-green-blue-yellow-3423533966327.html?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw7-SvBhB6EiwAwYdCARQpam-OoUmqiii8RbiiqbVkxFaRoPEmRLTspiYprVOA2NNMvYnJsBoCojMQAvD_BwE
  2. Or just make it up as you go along like me 😊☺️👍
  3. Good luck with that . Sweetness can descend into bitterness with neighbors quite swiftly on a build .
  4. I believe in Scotland interlinked ( by whatever method ) is law . In England not so ; which imho is dumb . Though my hmos have to be .
  5. Yeah they are mains powered with battery backup . I wish ( knew ! ) I should have put a data cable through … No chance of data cables through now - still as long as it works , sparky will be moderately happy .
  6. Finally got round to purchasing I was annoyed that the aico RF ones are rf as long as you buy the additional rf module . Slightly misleading in my opinion . As I need 5 smoke and 1 heat that bumps the price a lot . So went with safe-tech . £350 inc vat . To save more cash ( after 11 yrs I decided I need to budget ) . I’ll wire them all in - stick a plug on the end . Pair / test the lot . Sparky at a later date will roll his eyes but just has to do a connection in the CU .
  7. Yep mine are TG . Some years ago but was around the 25k mark
  8. We have 2 of these similar size and weight . Company stated they would crane them in ( need to go underground so an extra complication ) . On install day they moved them by hand with a lot of manpower . I indicated how (expletive deleted)ing ridiculous it was and left them too it .
  9. One day someone will say that to me . On that day the world will end .
  10. I know ! But these are the ‘equivalents ‘ - could t find the real threaded ones

    Dimmer issues

    It’s dull . Say 25% of max . Doesn’t always do it though . I believe capacitor can be fitted at the switch . Neutral to earth ( or something like that …. )

  14. Ok ! Then you have my blessings with your build !
  15. Awesome . Do you need : decoupling mats ? Mega tile cutter ? please say yes - not far from Briz … 😊
  16. For other readers . That black square it to hide a disgusting image 😉
  17. All done and moved the 160kg fridge freezer into place .
  18. Got really (expletive deleted)ed off with this . All the videos - it’s real simple , no effort . Decided it was time for pliers - pulled the (expletive deleted)er apart . Tiny white clips came out with pipe . Ffs
  19. New filter has slots - like a Hep2o disconnect key …
  20. These end caps are meant to go over the end of the filter then according to ‘easy’ videos you just push in and pipe slides out . My end caps have a thread whilst the filter doesn’t ….
  21. Can’t get this out . Blue clip off easily enough . Depress what ring ? It’s solid plastic . Pipe won’t just pull out … removal tool required ??
  22. If only ; I could claim 11 yrs of Labour …
  23. Glass ; don’t talk to me about glass …
  24. Only on Fridays at the blue parrot
