Didn't like the zinc/butyl stuff, but Leadax is superb stuff, very nice to work with...

I've just realised that the saw I was thinking of has a welded arbor, Clive, can you send hours over too?

and yet still we don't know where and how much insulation will be (was?) fitted. Have you now decided that this poured slab is the finished floor? Why? So regardless of what bricks and blocks are currently in place, your FFL can be ANYWHERE between where it is now and maybe 400mm higher. We don't know. You don't know. Your builder does. Is he correct? You don't know, we don't know.

1. please use whole words. 2. explain what the steps between old and new will be like. thanks!

I checked our filters after about four months.. . Intake on the left. Loads of tiny tiny flies, and I fear the brown tint is caused by the amount of slurry dispensed locally. Loads of horses nearby too. The exhaust side is all concrete dist off the (unsealed) subfloor.

Mine'll go on a standard arbour so yes, spindle size critical.

...closer to home Dave, I've a carbide crust holesaw in the car, and it's somewhere between 35 and 40m IIRC. I'll check it in the morning...

^ big splatter shield, but what size is the actual LCD panel?

^ same as @Thedreamer here.

Our door and window firm recommended upgrading the opening from the architect's 950mm to 1000mm, They apparently always recommend this rather than anything narrower where possible, to ensure an acceptable clear opening.

Local mortgage consultant did the rounds for us and put us smoothly into a remortgage deal with Virgin, and again last month into another 2-yr deal. Again with Virgin, and no hoops to jump through. Didn't really look into the selfbuild side of things too closely but you could do worse than give NiMortgages a call.

Good way to burn out a mains drill that, Clive.

can't see servicing being an issue really. CO2 is Everywhere. Pubs, fire extinguishers etc. Just needs a new set of gauges...

@MatthewB1993 we were in a similar position. We bought the land outright off savings, and remortgaged the current spot for enough to (hopefully) get us habitable. We'll then sell and then regroup for completion. That's the plan anyway...

location would be useful? Many of the Irish and NI companies will travel to GB to erect, even.

@joe90If you can get one with a suitable diameter sensor, a capilliary stat is likely to have tighter control I'd think. or there's this: https://www.advancedwater.co.uk/prod-217-255-1621.html

Just remember that every isolator and connection is a prospective fault where high current consumers are concerned. I'd prefer to be able to see an isolator rather than waiting for the smoke coming out of the cupboard...

which leaves a big air pocket above the side tapping. They're normally fitted the other way up round these parts...

how will you bleed the air out of the Willis?

but regardless of differental across each loop surely you're still at the whim of the TMV to set the flow supply temp. I've specced two manifolds for ours- one for towel rails and rads with a Reliance mixer like @ProDave has, bit the UFH looms utilise one with a capillary sensed blender (and bypass circuit) like @JSHarris shows. It's got a low temp head on too, many capillary heads don't go down low enough for UFH purposes.

I think ours are 10kg/m2?

^ mine's the green version of that'un.

got a cracking daylight green chinesium rotary. came with receiver, target etc. Very bright, very handy.

...which is why UPVC profiles have gutters and drains.

Looks very similar to Lidl's offering, in which case it's a better, beefier pump that the clarke/sealey/SIPs at twice the price. IMHO. That pump will however be running flat out to keep up with a grit gun...
