There's a lot to be said for the Solartwin- style system. Freeze-tolerant but can be setup to drain back, boil-on-stagnation tolerant too.

thought so. External walls are battened out also so they'll need it too. Ho-hum.

Yup, studs up as part of TF kit.

chasing some thoughts on this please @PeterW @nod?

presuming it's not an electronic switch of some kind (Hall or somesuch) I'd say your reed switch is failing. You could try "cleaning" the contacts by applying a higher-current load, or trying them in a DC circuit.

what about a couple of clamp-on hinges?

... which is why checking with the BCO is best value.

it's a cavity closer, so corners, eaves, and horizontally at FF level IIRC. Check with your BCO.

try Kerrs in Kilrea if you haven't already.

No such stipulation here in NI, and our site is in an AONB with the outflow passing by local streams into an ASSI

what size/ shape is the current chamber? How many PE do you need as a replacement? We went for a Solido Smart but I don't know how anything could be £2k cheaper...

KISS would be a neon and stuff'em!

Yup. super for tacking onto OSB, more challenging aiming onto a rafter or such. A £4.99 cheapie is doing that job for me.

If screed before PB is the consensus, how does one approach the scenario where screed depth is greater than the thickness of an internal stud's soleplate? The PB ends need something to be screwed into etc, so do we cut short sections of timber and place between the studs or is there some other cunning plan?

I've forks on my TB125. A couple of hundred kilos up to the first lift is realistic, as the forks weigh a fair bit themselves. The range of angles the fork head can work within limits options a bit too. Twenty block on a pallet onto the scaff? yup. A dozen PV panels on a pallet out the side door of a Sprinter? yup. A full pallet of insulation rolls, on the bed of a BM's wagon? nope. I'd note also that a maxibag of materials is OK off the boom on this size of machine too. My smallest digging bucket has two teeth on and is very handy for hanging a bag off...

Oh... and did I say the roof is FINISHED? Well, apart from two wee trimmings of ridge tile. But they don't count.

just wondering if the collective have any thoughts on the implied meaning of the term "masonry" per the OP.

It looks a bit like a plastic version of a LEMO plug. personally I'd be looking at a snips-and-heatshrink solution.

does a constructional hearth need to be a poured slab, or could it be built up from the subfloor in block? Thinking about thermal block in particular, as it's rising through the floor insulation.

noisy square sadly.

Lekky on. Just after meter guy left left (colour me unimpressed, their fancy polarity sensing device was a Martindale plug), the commando socket fell off in my hand. I didn't want to risk that happening again so replaced it with the split con submain. Just in case, y'know. [grins] And I ran up the MVHR.I tried to a couple of weeks back after finishing the ductwork, but sadly Vent Axia control boards don't play well with inverters and lose their magic smoke in a tantrum; so one PCB later... Yup, it works.

If you had dinner planned and cooked she wouldn't have a chance to eat out. (speaking as the one who actually does do the cooking in our household...)

might be a bit different ref. transfer of sound.

My mate tells a tale of digging a field not too far from us here to bury multiple mesh panels for a guy trying to get electrostatic spraying to work, waay back in the day.
