Thats the bedroom?

If its built in then no carpet under

Happy its not only me who is struggling to spot whatever it is ... sink does look low tho

The pulsing is usually power limitation, many hobs can be plugged into 13Amp socket or hard wired onto 30amp supply. Some need a link/switch changing over. some hobs also go into auto power limiting if mains voltage is low.

We import and sell Cherry Pickers (Access Platforms) and mini cranes plus Railway Plant and we have been mentally busy, plus as imported goods are getting cheaper its just going to get busier for us. We cant get machines and plant trailers fast enough to supply the demand.

Does anyone know where this thread is going? apart from down the pan. Thinking of ongoing threads - whatever happened to the cold house/condensation/imbalanced radiators/wet climate thingy ... cant remember what it was now.

@Rob99 yes it was a standard yellow hose, no brand name just something to to replace the elastic thing.

In comparison, i then bought an Ebay hose and reel and 3 years later its still brilliant.

Not sure of the brand but it wasn't a cheap one - i am a great believer in buying quality tools and equipment. I realised the physics of making something very flexible and able to extend and contract that much will never be robust and/or able to withstand 2-3 bar of water pressure. When the trigger is used you can see the hose expand and stretch ... very difficult to remain waterproof as soon became evident with the multiple punctures/leaks

Absolute rubbish, mine lasted less than two weeks

Insulating the attic floor wont do much unless you also insulate the entrance etc. but as above, why do you want to make a cold attic?

Macerated waste will still have solids that a grey water pump is unlikely to cope with .... blockage clearing wont be pleasant

@ashthekid In that case i would go for a site weld assuming the cranked beam is already in place, if not the steel supplier will sort the connection detail.

Beautiful place but You are never going to get that air-tight or enough insulation to make ASHP work

Fitting kitchens in DOT and Dab rooms is a pain especially in old places with uneven walls behind. Ive ended up cutting a strip out of the D&D plasterboard and installing a batten to fix the top cabinets to.

Or ... We only employ apprentice plasters and they can make an ok job of dot and dab but unlikely they can get an acceptable finish on a full wet wall.

Go around the outside unless absolutely necessary due to required falls and termination levels preventing the extended runs

In that case it isn't a simple restraint fixing. You need to know the total loads imposed on the beam, Is the vertical leg of the cranked beam designed for the cantilever loads of the new beam and all loads? Is the cranked beam top fixing designed for the additional cantilevered load? Personally i would make the two side masonry columns structural and support the loads, and only fix for restraint.

Is the beam just to span an opening with load above? and sitting on side supports like a lintel? or will the beam be transferring load to the upright column/cranked beam?

screws? i thought they were BB gun pellets

Unless the project is high value then you are unlikely to get Arch`s competing for the project and willing to put time and effort into concept for free. You could approach one or two and agree a cost for concept if you decide not to go with them.

+1 on Peter`s answer

Local installers should have practical experience with what works best in the area, i had a place in direct line to the transmitter mast and TV was crap ... local guy broke the Arial in half and TV was perfect after.

I would give it a go, i reckon you will find it difficult to use due to over speed ... and it probably wont last very long running at silly rpm

If you are going with ply and want to have the edges visible you need a good quality Birch Ply, also known as Baltic Birch. This has 13 ply build up (18mm) with virtually no voids. Or you could use compact ply which is similar but more resin in it - this is the board you often see used in fast food places where the edges are visible. It is very tough, doesn't splinter etc.
