MVHR - flies!
dpmiller replied to readiescards's topic in Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR)
well if you've tried adding bits of foam and stuff, it'll definitely be your fault. -

Is it not more conventional to bring soil pipes up to floor level for the wastes to drop into?

this a 2-wire 240 uninsulated, and there's nothing at the base of the poles on our land.

Dragging this one back up... We'll be on a pole transformer via an overhead, so definitely only TT. NIE's favoured position for the meter box makes for tails well in excess of 3m. What's the neatest way of protecting those tails suitably? Switchfuse then 100mA -S RCD? Or does someone know where you can get an 80A/100mA type S RCBO? And as it's in the box with the DNO's stuff, the housing can be plastic rather than AMD3?

your body is @37 tho? -
Sewage treatment plants
dpmiller replied to Kerron Allen's topic in General Self Build & DIY Discussion
worth checking what you've got below ground, the "upright" designs might cause more of a problem if you've stone not too far down? -
China, not Germany.

dpmiller replied to joe90's topic in Bathrooms, Ensuites & Wetrooms
Umm, self-regulating perhaps, but still getting to 65c. Might be a touch warmer than you really want? With Jeremy's option you get to choose how burny they are. -
13m distance from CU to cooker = poor design?
dpmiller replied to epsilonGreedy's topic in Consumer Units, RCDs, MCBOs
No, not you, the competent person engaged to design the scheme. -
Felt tipped pen limbo.
dpmiller replied to epsilonGreedy's topic in General Self Build & DIY Discussion
NI runs a separate system (that isn't searchable online) and our solicitor has alluded to about a year wait to receive docs back complete. -

Our solicitor likewise. And the new computerised LR system here is a bit of a nightmare apparently as the lines all "kinda" get superimposed. -

16mm tends to be cheaper than 15mm. And if required, you can get fittings to go 16-15 and 16-BSP.

Bath Surround / Boxing In, and concealed pipework
dpmiller replied to Onoff's topic in Bathrooms, Ensuites & Wetrooms
that's what speed controls and dampers are for, never mind the duct losses. -
do you have UFH pipes?

so it's unbranded i-pipe then?

Found a cheap structural warranty
dpmiller replied to Adamantium's topic in New House & Structural Warranties
there's always https://professionalconsultantscertificate.com/ too. They'll do anything from ongoing inspection to retrospective certification with a wide range of costings. -
master socket in our current house was in the front door hallway. I ran a cat5e from there up to my favoured place for a master (in the attic, as that's where the "office" pc is and is central for wifi coverage). Standard old single master downstairs, the incoming line goes up to the attic on one twisted pair and the filtered signal comes back down another, with no interference. BT guy that did the fibre "upgrade" was happy with that...
-
Pretty sure there's an internal IDC connector in those too so you can run your filtered extensions into the back of the backbox

Dunno. Tadpoles are hatched about three weeks and don't have legs yet, but boy wonder and I spotted at least three of the small frogs (but long legged they were), elsewhere.

A little bird tells me to expect a positive outcome on Planning in the next week or so. Getting exciting now. Does anybody want some tadpoles btw? We appear to have hundreds of the wee buggers as well as tiny (thumbnail-sized) froggies hopping around the place.

There is a move towards CO2 as a refrigerant in other applications too, cars amongst others.
