Willis heater UFH. Heaters in parallel or series?
dpmiller replied to Russdl's topic in Underfloor Heating
just set the stats differently so one will switch off when the flow temp starts to come up? -
Rendering over timber section in block wall
dpmiller replied to Mr Blobby's topic in Plastering & Rendering
A lintel would't be too hard to set in surely, its not structural after all... -
check with local demolition and disposal firms, crushed rubble is good for this

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

How can I get the replacement pavement slabs made?
dpmiller replied to windowproblem2025's topic in Driveways
If it's some kind of service conduit cover, are you *sure* you actually own it? -
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

LBS do a steel one to go with the snowdon tiles

Breakers for the SBS boards are still available under other names...

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...

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

Installing wood burner in timber frame.
dpmiller replied to junglejim's topic in Stoves, Fires & Fireplaces
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... -
Installing wood burner in timber frame.
dpmiller replied to junglejim's topic in Stoves, Fires & Fireplaces
my situation might have been a wee bit different as we used a Schiedel Swift Air chimneyblock system, but I left fitting the air feed until I was fitting the stove and a short length of aluminium flexypipe links stove to the pipe coming into the house. -
How to seal around the stove to insulation pass through?
dpmiller replied to Andehh's topic in Stoves, Fires & Fireplaces
I think most of the Merchants can probably order from Schiedel. We ordered all our chimney stuff through NG Bells in Ballywalter as they were handy. no real hassle to install, just needed to cut a hole in the OSB then it sat neatly between the studs. -
clamp-on/ self piercing fitting would work well here

how long is the capiliary/ what size is the thermophial? One of these is the normal modern style, if you can find a way to mount it inside the housing. They notmally clamp onto the end of the thermopocket in the boiler https://www.amazon.co.uk/Codice-Thermostat-Control-IMIT-TLSC-542791/dp/B01N6ILC6T/ref=sr_1_6?nsdOptOutParam=true

MF ceiling grid - hanger distance from walls
dpmiller replied to Thorfun's topic in General Construction Issues
I'd opine that a masonry bit won't drill accurately enough that you'll see a difference between 4.8 and 5mm. And certainly with the blocks we get round here, you *will* need hammer... -
what happens if you quickly open the stove door on a windy night/ before the chimney heats? A wee bit of pressure in the room will assist ensuring the smoke goes the right direction at times like this.
