    you need a brave thickness of it I think tho? Well we've a floor. It's solid enough to walk on, hot enough to get the whole house to 17c, and there's water p*ssing down all the windows and doors... @SteamyTea wanna have a go at how much energy 10m3 of gypsum has goiing spare as it cures?

    generally the modern willis is a soldered-up unit, it's rare to see one that has a seperate shell and element.

    this side of the Pond and no, not expensive. Not terribly high spec either tho...

    The BCO isn't coming back, won't be measuring it, and the builder won't be fixing it. But you will live with a cold room unless you work out what should've been done and check what was done. If the room was warm, none of this would matter; but you've got a problem and you're currently trying to diagnose it.

    "roughly sure" isn't good enough.

    @Conor yes they were, and we were pretty set on hemihydrate from the beginning. The latest cement-based one for CES is apparently very good tho, I'm told.

    how did the builder insulate the sloped ceilings?
  8. dpmiller
    yes, there's a slip layer down. Still fearful of a breach tho...

    Screed day! the two lads were on site at 0750 waiting for me to open up. They left shortly after 1pm, with 10 cube down at about 65mm average. Thankfully, nothing floated away during the process...

    take the cover off that stat and see which wires are connected. I'm guess in the two you can see are for it's thermistor sensor and it hasn't yet actually been wired to anything else...

    It's the brand of Appliances Direct AFAIK. I bought one of their cooker hoods and it was very impressive on test. Not fitted yet mind..

    if so why would a new pump fix it?

    https://www.grantuk.com/professional/spares/oil-boilers/control-panel-spares/temperature-control-pcb-with-sensor-mpcbs54e/ looks like the pcbs56 doesn't have the sensor sockets but this does?

    Date set for the screed pour- next Thursday (17th). Got the final loop down on the floor tonight, so that gives me a chance to go over the edge insulation, joints etc prior. Total loop length? 666 metres. Really. And no, not deliberately....

    not sure what's currently happening what with COVID etc, but some of the NI-based frame companies will travel over to erect a kit. You might try Leadon, Kilbroney, Kudos, Kingspan. Some of the other companies aim more at the volume market and are less likely to be interested, but any and all may be happy to put a kit on a lorry and send it over, with an allowance for local sourcing of insulation etc.

    try pushing a damp string up a hose filled with peanut butter @SteamyTea they're steerable for good reason...

    local concrete guy sends one of his trucks out with mortar each morning to top-up tubs he has out on sites. Whatever is left when the truck comes back is tipped for some of the small businesses to descend upon, vulture-like...

    If you've got a diverter, do you really need to think about this even?
