  1. ^ 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.
  2. Aico.
  3. 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...
  4. 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
  5. 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.
  6. ^ wot they said.
  7. hang on. This is possibly for a professional qualification and you're asking a question like this on a selfbuild forum?
  8. 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.
  9. sucking it out of the room by the sound of it...
  10. 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?
  11. 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
  12. 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.
  13. ATS did our posijoists through Leadons, can't fault the quality
  14. yes, but at that roofpitch how much standing-up room will you have?
  15. Is there actually enough height in that design for rooms in the attic?
  16. the concrete part of our shared lane was apparently 35N with fibres and no mesh, it's showing no damage after ten years of farm traffic.
  17. Oh yes. And you don't quite realise just how much real estate is taken up by panels, trays, and flashing.
  18. Does this help @Conor?
  19. we used 6x1 treated rather than multiple battens
  20. Both immersions could well have failed...
  21. Not liking the look of that insulation
  22. That's a nice advert you've got there....
  23. but then they're in the house, not in the frame...
  24. relies on the pump punning continuously I'd guess. It's one thing water expanding as it cools, but a small fixed pocket of water freezing might be something else...
  25. Unpossible. Stupid hateful noisy things don't ya know?
