Hang the speaker with a gripple hanger or something to take the weight -
Page 25 on-site guide for anyone else

Yes itâs 150mm

Thatâs when an adjustable bevel comes in handy

Building regs specific to batteries, solar PV?
TonyT replied to Drellingore's topic in Energy Storage
Thatâs maybe due to that battery chemistry. house batteries like pylontech donât suffer from thermal runaway -
On new builds maybe. Not a rewire that you donât have to notify anyone about

Fixing kitchen wall units to thick dot and dab on masonry
TonyT replied to Moonshine's topic in Kitchen Units & Worktops
Is the wall already dabbed? -
Solar PV but no immersion heater - dual tank options
TonyT replied to Chris X's topic in Boilers & Hot Water Tanks
check with you boiler instructions as some boiler can only accept pre heated water on the inlet to a certain temperature, -
It has to take the weight of a proportion of the roof and transfer this load/weight elsewhere. I think if you posted some before and after floor plans with no personal information and a brief the forum may be able to advise you on how to move forward. some idea of type of finishing, ie low medium high specification, what other works may be required, pluming electrical altering heating system, ground works, drainage etc all the best

Itâs a better unit as it allows cables to be glanded into the enclosure. Plus 1 for that product

You buy an oversize lintel and cut it down to the required length

I think the design is part of the problem, the client making certain decisions bringing in a third party adds to the confusion, appreciate thatâs not what you may not want to hear. Didnât the SE info say it needed pad stones, so you can understand his reluctance if itâs then sitting on blocks not to the design.. How are you asking the SE, are you going through the Architect or direct to the SE. is the architect instructing the SE or working independent from the architect?
-
Sounds a confusing relationship to determine clear ownership of the problem.
-
Split concentric does not have an earth all around the conductors so itâs no safer than say a 16mm t&E submain, which would be easier to terminate.( the t&E that is) then itâs 50mm to consider etc, Swa all the way for me. Easy to gland and terminate

So after your meter where you have an isolator it needs to be one of these or similar to let you have your own fuse to protect the cable to the next part of the installation. https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/CGMSF100.html?source=adwords&ad_position=&ad_id=&placement=&kw=&network=x&matchtype=&ad_type=pla&product_id=CGMSF100&product_partition_id=&campaign=shopping_switchgear_distribution&version=finalurl_v3&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIutK11syJ_wIVG-ztCh2ICQ-dEAQYASABEgInvvD_BwE Iâm not a fan of split concentric, generally we used to use them for block of flats when there were risers ti accommodate the extra gear.

Itâs not the builders job to check the SE design to see if itâs right, afraid we donât know how the architect, SE, project manager have been appointed to understand this relationship.

Total Control heating tariff phaseout
TonyT replied to Crofter's topic in General Self Build & DIY Discussion
Maybe they will call it something else wasnt this the original E10, then there was E7 probablt best to contact SSE direct -
I might be reading it wrong, but itâs not greedy to get paid for all the work you do, if the client messes up, changes their mind which affects the design, procurement and build of a project. If the design team mess up and itâs not noticed, itâs not the builders fault. thatâs the joys of the building game, when it goes wrong everyone trying to apportion blame to everyone else and then add in procurement delays, client changes, general apathy and clients then deciding to move the end date forward 2 months without discussion all with builder/trades having to rejig workloads. Thats why good builders are always busy cause they are managing some of this workload the make their own teams work easier.

Will you have a double timber at the bottom? Otherwise your bottom edge of plasterboard wonât be supported?
-
Is there another floor above or a loft void to access plumbing and electrical?
-
Meter tails can be longer than 3m but you need to add your own protective device. Ie a fuse. probably best to make a nice looking box with door paint accordingly since youâve already had the property rewired

Make sure they allow for building control liaison and fees in their price. Checking things like travel distance for fire exits, fire alarms etc. also make sure all certification is included before payment.
