I can't C&P from the warranty document but what is *actually* says is "the Product has been installed by a competent person who is suitably qualified to carry out plumbing and electrical work"

as mentioned elsewhere this gap at ceiling level is more of an issue and addressing this will probably make more difference to the acoustics than PB...

^yep

I haven't had an airtightness test done yet. But there needs to be a number typed into your design SAP- what was it?

no smart meters in NI, and not much choice in terms of infrastructure workers. NIE Networks do cables AND meters, regardless of your supplier...

I bought a s/h dewalt cordless hedge trimmer a few months back and it's very good, just as capable as the petrol one. I've still got a petrol 4-in one for extended reach stuff tho. When I can use all the tools I have already on a cordless power unit them I'm listening...

There's a massive range of TF providers local to us, and while some of them certainly aim at the developer market, none of them do design and kit supply quite the way many of the Scottish firms do. Every job is a one-off and there are plenty of choices within each company as to what insulation and airtightness levels you might choose to aim for.

I'm not a fan of edging, I prefer just to wipe a fillet of grout around the periphery.

how close can this kind of cable run together?

We've a turntable-less Panasonic inverter combi- micro/grill/ fan oven, NNCF760. Superb bit of kit- grills and microwaves evenly, and the programs do a great job for pizza and jacket spuds. Warms up quick as an oven too...

the MIs for mine stated to keep it bagged til all building works were complete, anyway.

What did the plans show, and what is your BCO happy with?

standard trench fill for us, blocks on flat up from that, subfloors poured over blinded hardcore *inside* the blockwork. One course of block above that to FFL and TF kit nailed and strapped onto it. Pics in my build thread...

you don't like a bit of heat in your red?

Clive didn't mention any other insulation?

Yes.

AC knows no polarity

is the pin spacing not the same as an ordinary figure-8 plug?

could even go phenolic instead of PIR

who gives a feck what they look like if they save your life?

why not?

Need a trap if you've an LPG cylinder in the vicinity.

so where is it leaking then- the threads on the rad, or the compression fitting on the valve?

surely there's more lieklyhood of the switch being faulty than the lump of plastic? a pair of trim tools or butter knives should ease that bit out and let you see the contacts behind, I'd hope /or replace the bulb with an LED one and ignore the problem...

I had an old bakalite body Antex, a 15 or 17W iron and it was *so* much better then the more modern 25W one that replaced it. I have had a couple of Irodo gas irons and they're great to keep in the toolbag.
