External mitres I usually look at corner and set saw to around 46/47 deg if looks a sharp corner. A joint always better if open at back rather than front. I also glue externals with mitre bond before fixing to wall. With internals again just cut a 45 on the piece you want scoring then remove the end grain. Perfect scribe no profile tool needed

Oh hand saw!? Fair play bit think you'll struggle can't you borrow a chop saw
-
What's up is your saw good quality and sharp blade?
-
@joe90 why don't you move it with front bucket probably fit more in than that dumper!

New Build - Left at Foundation Stage - Problems?
Oz07 replied to Mostly Chilled's topic in Foundations
Nothing to worry about. Best stage to leave it tbf -
As long as the heating system can be swapped to ashp in future it's a no brainer isn't it?

Part R / TV Aerial or Coax (in this day and age?)
Oz07 replied to Tony K's topic in Electrics - Other
Why 3 separate coax @ProDave? I did coax and 1 cat6 in current place but don't know if cat 6 will ever get used. Check out @pocster devils corner thread -
Manifold system versus hot return system
Oz07 replied to Russell griffiths's topic in General Plumbing
What will be your hot water source? My layman's experience is a good chunk of the delay on hot water is waiting for a combi to fire up. If you're on a tank this is cut down -
I know what you're saying but how else do you keep everything on bends? That one basin could go into back of w/c drain connector, your w/c could also potentially boss into that Stacy removing 2 connections
-
Basins could go off 90deg branch into upper third of drain if easier.
-
If you bring it up on a rest bend with a y branch horizontally. You can put the farthest one on a 45 bend at bottom of rest bend and keep the drain in a straight line then

I've had pipe that is half the weight of other pipe and sent it back so be careful. Think you're ok with any main manufacturer but be careful of independents selling super cheap gear compare it to decent stuff

Cable fixings, ceiling new regs.
Oz07 replied to Russell griffiths's topic in Regulations, Training & Qualifications
Exposed surfaces does this mean wires below a plasterboard ceiling as you often see in communal areas of flats from retrofit wiring bits and pieces etc? -
Cable fixings, ceiling new regs.
Oz07 replied to Russell griffiths's topic in Regulations, Training & Qualifications
I wouldn't imagine this applies in domestic ceiling void environments. Check with an up to date sparky by all means but it wouldn't be keeping me awake at night. -
Mines still coming did ask me if I want to cancel as around 50% of her other clients have. I'm happy for her to come as long as she is.
-
They come already primed all round. You lot actually paint them underneath also?!

I've since learnt they don't actually supply skirts in hdf it is just a higher density version of mdf. Try asking in a merchant the density of their mdf profiles look at you like you've got the corona. No I don't paint the bottoms does anyone?! The external mitres tend to blow at the bottom. Even when well glued and painted. Perhaps I've been a bit over enthusiastic with mop but I know others who've had same problem
-
I should know this being a chippy but every day is a school day. I've used the Green MDF sheets in bathrooms before knocking cupboards up but i'm not there 12months later to see if it was any good. Last house had MDF skirts which started to blow at the corners after my frequent mopping in kitchen. Went back to pine in current place knotted, primed, undercoated and top coated and hey presto still got knots and marks coming through. Is this HDF any better or am I just being sold the dream? most the online merchants seem to sell their skirting as HDF which they say is more resistant to moisture. I can get the skirting I want locally for around £1.40 in MDF, online in HDF I am looking at double the cost. Happy to pay if it really is worth it but would like to hear from anyone with experience first.

I had that problem with suppliers wanting to design a system with too many different zones. Your not going to get massive temp differences in a well insulated house

Btw I'm having one fitted in current place as just want to see how good this air quality benefit is -
MVHR is Largely Bogus
Oz07 replied to DavidHughes's topic in Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR)
You can't really knock @DavidHughes the assessment looks pretty thorough. Think we just need to accept the argument that in most cases it will cost you more than it saves. As previously discussed it's what you get for that cost and of the benefits are worth it to you. Be an interesting thread for @Russell griffiths to follow!
