  1. just set the stats differently so one will switch off when the flow temp starts to come up?
  2. A lintel would't be too hard to set in surely, its not structural after all...
  3. Another vote for a Jack & Jill door setup if you should decide to make the change
  4. check with local demolition and disposal firms, crushed rubble is good for this
  5. there are "semi-prescription" safety glasses too, you just order them using the SPH from your prescription. I got a pair for a couple of quid from Aliexpress
  6. cheapo ordinary socket of the right OD, and an angle grinder or file...
  7. If it's some kind of service conduit cover, are you *sure* you actually own it?
  8. yep, the original ones are DL. I'd have to trawl my history a bit (did a search just after SBS disappeared) but I seem to recall them coming from Oz but also being on Aliexpress
  9. LBS do a steel one to go with the snowdon tiles
  10. Breakers for the SBS boards are still available under other names...
  11. Sitrep 01/25 Kitchen in during the summer, tiling on the to-do list the topsoil mound in the back garden has now more or less disappeared and the rest of the garden is a bit more level. Plus the back hedge is mostly rejuvinated. We lost the big Scots Pine at the side of the lane during Storm Darragh (fell across the lane, naturally...) so that's a fair few tonnes of firewood to process for seasoning. We're still comfy and cozy, and well pleased with how the house works for us. ASHP's consumption for the year was 2996kWh and as around 2/3 of that was E7 overnight we are very pleased to heat a much larger house for less than the cost of heating the previous wee bungalow. Plenty more to do this year tho, but it's ever more home, and less work-in-progress. I gotta thank all you lovely folk in the Community, Buildhub is so much more then just a resource...
  12. so the winner is... Ender 3 V3 KE. Superb piece of kit, hasn't put a foot wrong yet.
  13. Looks good. I kept away from lead for our build as much as possible, but of all the lead replacements I used/tried, I quite enjoyed working with Leadax
  14. Ignis is 565 between studs, and CLS studs are generally well below the nominal 38mm. I had no issues. But yes, it's just a lump of rockwool so you could do whatever is required...
