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.

"A total of 18 separate roof planes in all! Why oh why did I let the architect talk me into this design? " I feel your pain...

looks like you buy and fit two separate latches- the ordinary one and the privacy one?

yup. Dunno if Nick thinks it's a plan, but if you're trying to limit the offset to left?

yup. perzactly

no, I was thinking of *with* the Geberit long elbow but without the reducer and Clive's brown elbow, using a bent pan connector to convert it to 4" and turn it towards the wall at the same time.

90deg pan connector instead of the adaptor and elbow?

missing the (now rare) very useful Footprints.

singles look like really good value.

Daft thing is that because of the length of the "tails", isolation and protection at the meter box is mandatory. Yup a 16A socket is now fitted, although I did cram a small RCD garage CU in there as well for a degree of protection as I couldn't stomach zero overload and 100mA type S only... Suffice it that the submain could end up with a commando plug on. But only until they revisit to do the permanent connection (at which time they'll apparently want to re-do the earth test, do polarities etc. Apparently.) But at least the earth tested out well. I'd originally got 68ohms on my 50v tester , and on a subsequent retest 51. NIE's full-loop live test from the Head vs neutral came out at 97ohms.

Slowly being revealed and no, the electric isn't on. Blokey arrived to fit meter and made reference to a new edict from management that permanent supply is only allowable after second fix is complete for the whole house, and can I fit a commando socket in the meter box instead? Grr. And the reason? Apparently it's to negate the possibility of someone working inside a live CU. Not much of a spark then, I said...

NXT panels?

a sheet of polycarbonate on the inside?

"In modern competitions the combatants are required to wear soft shoes and stuff their trouser legs with straw for padding " poofs indeed.

they're just planks. Given the number of cuts, holes, and grinder marks in some of ours, rot is the least of your worries...

Cfs can be slow, yes.

Our cable was run in on Wednesday so it's "live to cutout". Meter to be fitted on Tuesday. 35mm concentric really looks tiddly...
