know anything about Garo? http://www.meteorelectrical.com/distribution-control/consumer-units-accessories-1/garo-10-amp-30ma-1-module-rcbo-type-b.html

which side is the wall, and which is the centre of the span?

Well this info came from our PC who was chasing the case up, I'd be pretty sure that as a planning professional he's going to get a straighter answer than if I was to call up. No, all bases were definitely covered in the application- have a read the D&A statement...

A little bird tells me there are twenty-five cases in front of us in Planning. Sounds like another couple of months?

^ I'll add to that if you do have MR16s that have failed on an AC supply, chances are that replacing the PSU with a DC one and then *reversing* any that still don't light in their sockets could well be a money saver, as I've never seen an internal rectifier fail completely, just in one direction...

run it for a while, the brushes might need to bed in.

I fitted a switch backplate as a nightlight in the youngster's room. Not that MK one, can't remember the brand but it's a white LED rather than a neon and works just fine with either a CFL or LED in the circuit.

Now I know I posted them in my intro thread but for completeness- plans https://forum.buildhub.org.uk/ipb/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=5724

Yup, I've 5l of Gallup XL sitting in the garage already. I'd like to say we'll wait for regrowth before applying it but it all depends on how impatient digger man is.

About 500m as the crow flies to the back wall of the estate, Neil. The Mountstewart Road is the north-eastern boundary of the estate.

You reckon Dave? They're not in active growth and that's the advice I was given. Hey ho, the digger will be sorting them anyway. Oh I've just noticed the link to the planning file I posted previously is poo. If anyone wants a look, go to http://epicpublic.planningni.gov.uk/publicaccess/ and then reference LA06/2017/1336/F

A nice crisp spring morning, so down to the site goes I. Sheep are gone, and so is the grass. But they haven't touched the rushes so time to break out the strimmer w/ brush blade. That should make them more receptive to the forthcoming chemical treatment. After clearing about a third of the site my arms were rather pumped up so enough strimming for the day. The site is looking much more expansive now tho that it's flattening out. Next job then was to get the water on. Temporary joint made and an outside tap hung on a post (yes, double check valve), drive up to the road, find which Toby is ours and turn it on. Drive back down lane, turn on tap, and wait... / what *is* the volume of 650m of 32mm MDPE??? we have water! Still a bit aerated even after running for fifteen minutes, but we have clean water and it's at good flow and pressure. Happy with that.

that's insurance for you...

@JSHarris car rain detectors are optical, using the water droplet to refract a light beam (visible orange light in some early units) back to a receiver. If the screen is dry the light beam just passes out through the glass. here's a standalone using the same tech http://rainsensors.com/

Lidl do a set of Ti coated in a blue steel box that are superb.

if you went with Stelrad Vita Eco rads their fittings are in the middle and take Eurocones IIRC.

Heard a distinctive rustling in the attic a couple of nights back so set the traps with a fresh blob of PB on each, found a result this morning.

I must admit I'm drawn to a hide-a hose setup for our upstairs and rather like the idea of sweep inlets for the kitchen and maybe beside the fireplace.

hopefully not the towel. Everybody needs to know where their towel is.

must be a hand towel, it's not folded. also: no kids in that house else it's be in a crumpled heap anyway...

how many Ah do you really need?

At three years you'd probably be OK but best look closely at them for signs of overheating- the UPS supplied with our Immunostainers (a nice Riello) isn't worked hard, but I've replaced four sets of batteries this year in 6yo systems, the individual 12v AGMs in the bank/box had been hot enough to meld together...

Nick, the Smiths/ Dimplex style fancoils have an NO stat which inhibits the fan until the HE is warm. After that point control can be either external or internal.

Moving on slowly... Spent a couple of hours on the site today walking round, looking, thinking. Tramping through loadsa sheep crap- the vendor has put some animals on it to lose the long grass for us, and it's made quite a difference even in only a week. Drainage looks good. There's been some pretty heavy rain the past while (noticeable field runoff on roads in the locality) And while the site is surface soft with some standing water in the low spots, the field drain is trickling away happily. I've pulled up the water main and the phone cable. There's an uncompleted joint in the water line on the other side of the long lane so I'll need to pop a coupler on and bury it but then we should have water. The phone will probably need splicing into the line coming down to the bungalow next door in the same spot. And the electric? Even better than anticipated. On inspection, the poles and overhead crossing the site are the 240v to the next farm, and both it and the underground to the bungalow are fed by an overhead from the transformer, over the neighbour's lane. Now where's those croc clips...

in this scenario surely you wouldn't need the motor valve on the return and just run the UFH pump off the thermostats?
