Convoluted/radial/flexible whatever you want to call it is fine for low volume low velocity air but dramatically reduces the efficiency of the system as turbulence is created.

depending on material, some drain/down pipe can create static. spiral steel does not do this but is more difficult to work with.

Veneered is real walnut so looks the same, just doesn’t crack or warp like solid timber can … does! Bloody overpriced, pain in the arse table that was.

Thicker is not necessarily better, great for a bedroom but I had thick underlay in a living/dining room and the furniture ‘floated’ on the carpet. Touch the tv etc and it would rock by depressing the underlay. talked to a carpet fitter mate who told me it all depends on what you want it to do. protect the carpet - thin non compressible, Soft underfoot - thick but heavy traffic will cause the carpet to stretch and move.

I’ve just done a kitchen in solid oak worktops. To buy new would have been around £2K bought used off eBay, had to do some repair and jointing but worked out very well … cost £150.00 plus a few hours extra time

Hello and welcome. Sounds great

As above, the supplies and exhausts should encourage a healthy air flow through the building. you don’t want to drag stale air into or through ‘clean’ areas. I.e fresh air into bedrooms etc and stale out of bathrooms.

Usually a supply invoice that ties up with a test cert is needed to show you haven’t just supplied a generic cert that could be for anything. photo of the steel installed would ideally show the rolled in markings. and yes a file with relevant paperwork looks “professional”

Hello and welcome, I feel your pain! Had a plot removed from auction and two that made well over their value. Finding a suitable plot can be hard work and a long process …. I’m still looking. Damn those jammy buggers who are gifted land or family rates.

Work better with the plate mounted on the item and screw in the wall, although I can’t see and reason why you can’t do it other way a round, just be aware which way up the slot needs to be.

Do you have a record of where the steel came from and it’s section size? An SE can give you retrospective calcs but you need to prove the material is acceptable to BC

+1 on the above, I’ve seen foam lift a thick slate fireplace off its bed, a poorly fixed pvc frame is easily distorted

yes you can easily remove the springs from the handles. use 1 handle but not screwed to door to check the latch moves freely. assuming it does, try each handle, you will probably find one or both handles are notchy. if both seem smooth, remove the spring from one, re assemble and try it again, remove other handle spring if necessary

And you will need test certs or conformity letters for the steel joists or beams.

Keyhole plates on rear of coat hook block, screw into OSB. Majority of load is in shear so no problem with heavy coats

That’s one way to shift the commitment onto the general public

Good evening and welcome

No, the standing charge is for the service, not how much

3 phase smart meter is very compact. Small box does/will make tail termination a struggle

The frames shown are not thermally broken. an example would be

A solid alu frame without thermal breaks will give very poor figures

@Gus Potter nice diagrams to show what the figures mean in real terms. I sell cranes and cherry pickers and often have to give sketches to show the difference between point and distributed loads and their respective effect on thin slabs or suspended floors

That is a cool build, ?? for not building a box.
