Gone West

I was told, if using screws, use partially threaded screws with solid stem at the top.

I've only ever seen physical templates which were easy to check. I wouldn't want to rely on a drawing.

When I fitted our undermounted sinks, I used G clips to fix them. http://www.gclip.co.uk/Home.html All that should have been taken care of when it was templated. If there is to be an upstand then minor gaps are covered.

It's an achievement having two in agreement.

Where does it all end??

Over the years we've had several of the Harvey block salt softeners and a Monarch and they all seemed to work without problems. The last one I had to buy for the new build was a Crown, but that was nine years ago. https://scalefreehome.com/harvey-vs-monarch-water-softener-uk/

I don't remember him doing that, but I do remember he had a Genvex MVHR with a built in A2A heat pump which did heating and cooling through the ventilation.

I would have thought that unless there are no other sources of suitable timber around, your cladding won't particularly attract them. I have two wasps nests in the garden this year in old vole tunnels underground. They are a nuisance, and I keep away from that area as much as possible, but we haven't been stung yet!

We had cedar cladding on our last place and the wasps chewed it, but didn't do any damage. Where we are now they chew any unpainted wood in the garden, but as there's so much around it will take forever to do any damage.

When we fitted our kitchen in 2016, the plinths came with sealing strips to fit to the bottom of the plinths.

I always use a hacksaw and file for things like that. More forgiving.

What is it that makes you believe the second SE rather than the first SE.
