  1. Given up on mainstream european and refuse to give Miele their markup. Five year warranty on Samsung...
  2. round these parts, thin cement board is the norm for developer soffits. https://www.roofingsuperstore.co.uk/product/non-asbestos-undercloaking-strips-1200-x150-pack-of-10.html https://www.samuelkirk.co.uk/non-asbestos-soffit-strip-2400-x-200-x-6mm-15271-p.asp https://www.resistant.co.uk/products/multi-pro/
  3. Is the house block/block or timberframe?
  4. Thing with the buttons looks like a NVR, is there a contactor hidden somewhere?
  5. Yep. I was in a rush/ couldn't risk a wait for Direct Chinesium so got the RS Pro equivalent. https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/inverter-drives/1223411/
  6. VFDs are so cheap and handy now. Had to get one in a rush for a farmer customer recently and just ordered a basic ownbrand one off RS.(Potato packing conveyor) Less than a quarter of the size of the original one, and up and running in no time.
  7. Clive, I'll PM you the SE's notes for our conversion- don't want to put them online in case of copyright issues
  8. yep, we had coax systems still in use until maybe 5 years ago- car paint systems aren't always upgraded too often.
  9. Isolate the slab in the pantry and have it uninsulated to ground, or loop the mans water feed through it.
  10. but it's energised the whole time it's actuated... in saying that, there could be a bit of PTC involved
  11. Local BCO doesn't even require *normal* rest bends never mind extended. Bog-standard 90 at the base, round these parts...
  12. ...unless there's a draught or a big magnet...
  13. doesn't the aluminium in barrier pipe make it detectable?
  14. Howdens are offering this from selected branches now too
  15. I had an SE design something similar for the attic in our current house. Sistered joists and rafters, plus plywood gussets at the ridge. That let me remove the central ^.
  16. socket set plus PZ3 bit, nice long ratchet for loadsa torques?
  17. what head is on the screws and what have you using to try and undo them?
  18. sounds like shorted turns on the rotor. How much contact cleaner did you douse it in? you might have filled the gaps in the comm with conductive dust...
  19. Why not actually try to remove the current step? There's no screw too big or tight to remove again...
  20. Dunno about mainland GB but a boiler service is like £50 here inc. a new jet. If it runs, I don't see how anything more could be needed...
  21. whatever is cheap and in stock.
  22. the design doesn't recognise things like joist direction and obstacles to routing. I'd wonder if the two l/h bedrooms might benefit from two duct runs each based on the length of run I'm intrigued by the supply vent in the stairwell finally perhaps the vents in the kitchen/dining/living end might need to be farther over to the right? Where will the cooker be?
  23. My take on it is that I own the site, I'm working in isolation, I'm travelling in isolation, and there is no infection risk in driving in your own car. There's much more risk through two families both out in their cookie-cutter back gardens at the same time. Infact, if I was to be stopped by an officer of the law I'd actually be put at risk speaking to him...
  24. So, ignoring the TV-shopping aspect... Is that what this is? https://h2o-e3.thanedirect.co.uk/
