  1. are there soakers under that flashing ? it will leak without them.
  2. the only dishwaser to look at is the fisher paykel double draw. game changer. another vote for hob on island, neff do a very nice hob and separate pop up extractor. £££££ but worth it, we wouldnt be without them now.
  3. strip off more tiles to get the layboards down, then jacks off of them to ridge. klober dry valleys are excellent if you cant get hold of valley tiles.
  4. get half a dozen cockerels.
  5. its amazing these planning officer morons are able to keep their jobs and pension. In a sane world they would be stripped of both.
  6. you could save double that with the agile tariff and some timeclock programming/automation. We have home assistant control the ASHP, EDDI for tank boost, electric towel rads, battery. Octopus tell you each day at around 4pm what the next day rates are so you can work out cheapest slots to use. The savings are quite amazing, especially with the paid to use sessions where you get £££ for using as much as you can.
  7. ive been experimenting on this very issue as we have quite a few in the garden. tried block paving sealer, porcelain sealer and linseed oil. after 4 months its a tossup between block paving sealer and linseed oil with linseed oil seeming to last longer.
  8. just make sure not too much water is left in the trench, BCO dont like too much as it weakens the conc.
  9. https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/133932680?iid=276577545350
  10. a normal plate wacker will be fine unless you plan on parking 40 ton artics in the living room!
  11. The only issue you may have is the filter getting blocked up with dust/flies etc. I was amazed just how filthy our intake filter was after just a month, it was black. Zehnder recomened 120 days but im changing them 30-60.
  12. sectional tracks will sit behind the reveal and hang from the ceiling so doesnt matter if the rafters are not level, they will level the straps.
  13. if you have budget, id go for electric underfloor in bathrooms so you can use it in the summer when you dont want the rest of the heating on. As i mentioned earlier with karndean its not cold anyway, ceramic tiles are different of course.
  14. any builder who needs a welfare cabin would be off the shortlist immediately. They are there to work.
  15. pull off the 3 way solenoid, set system to dhw and not which direction the solenoid turns. manually turn the valve to DHW position and refit solenoid so when it returns to heating its turning the right way.
  16. why would it ? It's not in direct contact with soil so as long as cavity remains dry (tray) wil be fine. stick to scribbling.
  17. have a look at https://www.intelligentchargingsystems.co.uk/products/5106632-5-12-kwh-home-battery-storage-system#product-specicifations £2kish
  18. looks cheap, a powerwall 3 is £7k. I have the powerwall 2 and its great. It's not an in roof system though so will not look very good hanging out the roof. Some properties it doesnt matter but some it does to be aware.
  19. bottom up blind and a stanly knife ? https://www.orderblinds.co.uk/dept/perfect-fit-bottom-up_d01359.htm
  20. who's decision to use reclaimed instead of new ?
  21. sit them on marmox blocks. they are structural.
  22. looks to be a type of ludlow, take it to your nearest merchant they will tell you. https://www.roofingsuperstore.co.uk/product/marley-ludlow-major-interlocking-concrete-roof-tile.html
  23. turn it over
