  1. an inverter welder will be just fine at sensible current levels.
  2. comparatively, obviously
  3. no farm suppliers even? Cheap tubular field gates, and then fence boards Tek-screwed on would work well.
  4. One of the refrigerant pipes should be getting hot tho if it's pumping heat. Water pipes cold yes, but the refrigerant should be carrying the heat. It does indeed suggest that the outside unit isn't switching the whole way over. Perhaps give the valve a gentle tap while energised and see if it drives farther?
  5. Any chance it's Brexit issue? I've never worked out whether Kytun UK actually manufactured or just resold... try the other office: https://www.nwa.ie/products/kytun-dry-fix-systems/slate-dry-verge-systems/slate-verge-system-t1/
  6. And when the kitchen arrives and wifey doesn't like the colour, will that £66 feel good in your pocket?
  7. and a wee bit of string or offcut of batten anywhere it wants to be droopy.
  8. set the laser on it's side then
  9. / if it's long enough to get through the faceplate and down to the box...
  10. Inky newspaper to polish wet, washed glass is superb. Almost a reason to buy a paper...
  11. ^ this. They've tried to be neat and tidy by cutting half-tiles, but it needs a bit more to rest on that exposed upstand.
  12. Aico.
  13. Are they specifically referring to runoff from the *slope* or rather the hardstanding within the site? I'd contend that the current solution is accepted and have an Acco at the TOP to stop anything going down the slope...
  14. We went with a slate-effect interlocking clay tile. Much harder smoother surface than concrete, thinner edge, much more slatey-looking https://www.lbsproducts.com/clay-roof-tiles/slate-effect-tiles/snowdon
  15. Our inverter ASHP (with Carel control gear and inverter unit) is pre-programmed with all the settings for various different compressors. Loadsa numbers for electrical, pressure, and temperature characteristics. Not a pressure switch to be seen, everything on sensors.
  16. ^ wot they said.
  17. hang on. This is possibly for a professional qualification and you're asking a question like this on a selfbuild forum?
  18. And if your subfloor is less than perfect (and your U values allow it) go with 50mm of EPS at the bottom. It's a bit more forgiving.
  19. sucking it out of the room by the sound of it...
  20. Mightn't be mains-borne at all. the iMac's audio amplifier may well just be picking it up... Does a battery powered MW radio tick also?
  21. I mght be wrong Dave but I think road transport *is* using it. I'm not sure that all the "biodiesel" that is in your B5 or B7 and that eg McDonalds say they run their lorries on is first-gen at this stage... First generation biodiesel died a death locally about ten years back. Ther were a number of reasonably-sized plants and they were run and supported by some very smart chemists, but Customs issues and then the rise of the modern particle-filtered engines killed it off. Some hardliners still remain in the filtered frying oil (WVO) camp tho
  22. I've got our utility fitted out and the new fridgefreezer purchased. Just need to bring our current cooker down and we're sorted. The kitchen... will wait. I'd decided on a reasonably sized fridge freezer which will end up in the kitchen, and a small chest freezer as "overflow" in the utility.
  23. ATS did our posijoists through Leadons, can't fault the quality
  24. yes, but at that roofpitch how much standing-up room will you have?
  25. Is there actually enough height in that design for rooms in the attic?
