  1. Or for the poor man's test like mine if you live in an area where pressure is crap (technical plumbing term) and you're waiting ages for a bucket to fill at tap just spend the extra 200 or so to upgrade to 32mm and be satisfied you've done all you could have...
  2. Samsung has 5 year warranty
  3. Shouldn't people check local pressure before deciding?
  4. someone here has done it im sure..search perhaps but might be hard
  5. Looks foreign to me
  6. also bonus points for anyone who can see the last common rafters running out on that picture. The extension is built half a brick longer on one wall than the other. I set out off the front wall. Did realise when marking wall plate but kept with set out off front wall incase it effected bond of tiles when setting out from gable. Complete idiots they are. Cant wait till they fit the garage door and the customer realises...
  7. I used scrap 8x2 off the cut rafters for the infill. Because the valley was built off a lay Board I set the infill 2 or 3 " out from the centre of the valley. I didn't like the gaping hole in the middle so got a thin sheet of ply and ripped it down to smooth this out. GRP valley sits on ply, lath nails into 8x2 Some use thin ply for the GRP with 2x2 noggins out outside for lath fixings
  8. The ally does look good but it's impossible to justify the price if you've got an eye on selling in future unless it's a super premium home. Think @Russell griffiths used something posh?
  9. When you sell. Can define all rights, boundaries, obligations etc etc then.
  10. Yep @Nickfromwales that's why I went 22mm copper over to manifolds then 15 or 10 from there. The garden tap is straight after stop cock and is fierce compared to my old place or neighbours. Around 20l per min
  11. Bigger pipe more flow rate not more pressure
  12. Always put them in. Worst job in the game. Boring. Ignore dormer had to alter size after it was built to the drawing.
  13. Fyi I think my pressure is somewhere around 1.5/2 bar. Neighbours in old 30s place with that 3/8 supply literally cannot run a tap upstairs if downstairs was running
  14. I put 32mm in mine as pressure round here not so good. Only had 25mm previously in old house different area. Connection price is not much dearer at all. There was someone here if I remember correctly that had a 32mm connection and the water co. Fitted the wrong box. They got a hefty discount from memory like upwards of 75%. It's almost worth having the 32 connection just in hope that they use the wrong box, then you get massive discount!
  15. Yes, has been good to me but only coming up to a year old. Seems you can end up with a dud quite often but can return as unfit for purpose. Few cons with it too but put a few thousand through it in that icy weather week before last and didn't miss a beat.
  16. Does that include deck? Which kind? Presumably can drop to 18mm on 400 c/c 304mm works better for guage on traditional build when beam filling.

    Diy

    Can't see any imperfections. Great job.
  18. One does the morning delivery, the other second class. Seriously though the naked dewalt is good value if OP already has batteries. If you adopt @nod strategy you could keep for 11 months just before warranty runs out then sell. Be suprised if it cost you 50 quid for a year.
  19. My last was Hitachi. As said I kind of wish I'd stuck with this bit had dewalt batteries and found the naked gun good value. Here's mine on bump fire 90s the other week took it to show someone.
  20. Mine is good. Pro use since the spring and less than 5 jams I reckon. Downside is quite heavy. If I'm honest I preferred my previous gas gun due to weight. However I would probably have struggled with it in cold last week. The rather hook is dog poo. I think you can get a Friday afternoon job with these.
  21. My old window guy stuck the trickles on his new place, took them off after sign off.
  22. How do you know he wouldn't have given you one back?! What's up with shaver sockets can't you get adapters or maybe even change it to a socket after sign off.
  23. Straps to fix back to internal blockwork with packers to hold level and plumb?!
  24. Minimum 30mm setback into cavity to comply with building regs as far as I understand. How deep is your frame
  25. Most have white frames internally. Grey too strong inside
