Perimeter insulation - flooring butted up to or laid over?
Oz07 replied to Dunc's topic in General Construction Issues
You may as well go with bottom drawing. No need for floor finish to go any further than the line of your finished wall and looks like your wall is in from the timber frame? -
Temporary power to the building from our existing supply.

Whats the insurance or safety implications of the 240v lead being run through your site? Could you use one of the big daddy transformers instead or does that not improve the amount of power taken down 1 110v lead? -
Advice please: cutting metal down pipe.... without

There was some lindlab on a house I looked at the other week and I was distinctly unimpressed. Is this stuff expensive? It didn't look bad but it didn't strike me as looking any better than pvc. Perhaps the guy used a rubbish range -
Are most here doing their own ufh install then? What about manifold connections and pressurising?

They did choose to decomission all their nuclear before Ukraine kicked off proper.

Ground floor shower tray support over insulation
Oz07 replied to Dunc's topic in Bathrooms, Ensuites & Wetrooms
No because the screed would spread the weight of the point load. The only way I could see something like this working is ommitting the insulation below the tray and say 300mm all round, then insulating to the same thickness less 25mm, then replacing this section of insulation with ply. It sounds messy and likely to cause problems, maybe it could work? I am sure others will be on with more tried and tested methods -

Oz07 replied to Dunc's topic in Bathrooms, Ensuites & Wetrooms
Be interested to see the answer here. Id be worried about the shower tray rocking on the insulation. Like if you put all your weight on one corner surely it would dip? -
Did you get a good deal on the ply? They must more of less give it away when removing hoarding on big sites?

Soil stack to male stub - double femal connector OK?
Oz07 replied to Dunc's topic in Waste & Sewerage
Id be steering well clear of solvent weld where passing thru a floor slap just put the pipe in and stop worrying -

I got one off ebay or amazon about £70 shows co2, temp and humidity. You do get a bit obsessed by it and have to pack it away after awhile -
As i say some interesting things you could do but you'd need a bespoke joiners place. Which you could find online. But it won't be one of the big names listed above

I'm not saying we should stop looking after these people. Just that they shouldn't get to vote. After all turkeys don't vote for Christmas.

Stop indulging OPs worries we are here to reassure and dispel stress. We've all been in the trenches -
I've used pear stairs quite a few years ago. They were good then but it was a while ago. As for ply a joiners workshop will make you stairs out of it if you want. I'd be interested to see the finished result it could be really nice if you had the right kind of ply with decent layers.

They will get to vote then. Scroungers in my view is any working aged adult who is a consistent net drain on society. Including those with anxiety and other spurious disability claims.
-
The problem is everyone just votes themselves the money. Recent immigrants will never vote for less immigration, pensioners will never vote against the triple lock, scroungers will never vote for the 2 child benefit cap. The way I see pensioners could still be net contributors to the state. And those that aren't should accept that their 40 or 50 year period of contributing and voting is over. Anyway im taking this off topic sorry.

I set mine up at both ends of the hall. Marked pencil lines halfway down the hall on the 2 side walls. Measure between both pencil lines. In theory the gap should be the same but I was suprised how much it differed. Read the manual and it was in spec

We should remove universal suffrage and only allow votes based on whether you are a net contributor to society. 16 year olds now. Too young to buy fags or have a drink but get a say in how the country is run. What next primary school pupils.

Oz07 replied to Dunc's topic in Waste & Sewerage
I don't understand what is being asked here. Are you asking if the force of the waste will squeeze itself between the pipe and the fitting then down to the rubber?! Ive forgot how neurotic you can be when doing a project. You get paralysed by decisions and worries like this. It won't be a problem. -
You'd be suprised how far they can be out and still be in spec. I tested mine in a big sports hall, one end and the other then checked the difference between the two marks. From memory it was something like maybe 18mm and checked the book and was in spec. Although 18 does sound a lot maybe it was 8 ?!
-
It obviously the way you come across or you might be intimidating them with your knowledge being more than they have. I'd suggest trying to find plumbers who advertise themselves as the dogs bollocks. Maybe even one of these heat geek types. You're more likely to find one on your wavelength then with a bit of passion for the trade.

They only find the joints if it leaks surely? Just make a good job you should be fine.

Finishing up boarding whilst plastering - bad idea?
Oz07 replied to boxrick's topic in Plastering & Rendering
dust wont be a problem have you seen the dust they create when mixing gear. Is he on price though as might have the ump if not 100% ready to go at. Don't slow them down
