You missed out.....or don't want a child. If they don't split up they almost always get pregnant during the build

Only if I get a happy finish

I much likey. Sort it out please.

So could these units charge a PCM58 Sunamp?

I would echo just about all of what Alex has written.

Yes and for every one you delete I'll post 2 more. I should be getting the contact sheet back from the photographer later in the week who did a shoot of the house for a magazine. Let me have your wife's contact details and I'll send direct! ?

Christ on a bike, its a 50 minute round trip to the nearest supermarket and you drank the place dry in less than 30

All my copper (inc the ends into the manifolds) are on munsen rings. I.e. https://www.screwfix.com/p/brass-munsen-ring-22mm-5-pack/3444J?tc=DB1&ds_kid=92700020952479607&gclsrc=aw.ds&ds_rl=1241687&ds_rl=1245250&ds_rl=1249404&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIoPPfvcuN5QIVBrDtCh22cQBwEAQYDyABEgKljvD_BwE definitely the strongest of all fixings and they enable full lagging.

Just like @AliG there was no way I was having switch acne in my shiny new kitchen. Rather than hiding them at the back of a cupboard I created a panel inside a tall cupboard (at the top). This does compromise a bit of shelf space but makes them very accessible for when there is the need for isolation after someone’s got their head stuck in the dishwasher ?.

Here we go, more of @Nickfromwales welsh wizardry

As long as the 15mm/10mm pipes coming out of the manifolds are also clipped it will be fine. I’ll try and find a photo of mine.

You need a P3 respirator or an equivalent to the 3M 6001 filters. Animals must be kept away until the product is completed dry, at least 24 hours. Personally I would not let my pet near it for 2-3 days but I’m very sensitive to the subject after loosing a dog to poisoning by a farmer using illegal pesticides (another story for another day).

Hi Guys (Long post, sorry) I’m currently helping out a good friend who’s recently bought a new property (built in the mid 80’s). This property was subject to a RICS homebuyers survey, more on that in a minute. Anyway she she called me at the weekend to say she’d spotted a damp patch in one of the bedrooms. So up in the loft I go (no boarding, perilous ?) and take a look. I immediately noticed a sagging section of roofing felt, through the gap I could see daylight! OK, I thought hole in the roof, it happens (a few trees around and it’s been stormy). So then I peeled back the deep cross layered loft insulation to find that clearly from the state of the ceiling timber and plasterboard that this was far from a new leak. So up the ladders I go to look at the roof, I could not see a single damaged tile (concrete tiled roof). So scratching my head I grabbed a garden cane, went back into the loft and poked it through the hole I could see from the inside. Off back outside there was the cane clearly poking through the gap between two tiles up close to the next row up. More head scratching, then from looking at the roof from the gable end it dawned on me what the problem was; almost no lap! So later the same day it starts piddling it down; back up into the loft I go and witness the water running down the roofing felt and through the hole (now bigger, from my poking around). So today I got my roofing mate round. He agreed with my synopsis but then pointed out several visible dips/valley’s and kicked tiles on the back section of roof. The roof trusses are all sound so the only conclusion we could come up with is that the entire roof is probably leaking (due to the lack of lap) and the roofing felt has been keeping the rain out. The visible dips are either where the tiles have slipped the batten or that the battens have simply rotted and sagged. Another visual clue is that from inside the loft you can clearly see the fasciae and soffits. This is possible because the roofing felt doesn’t go all the way to the bottom. There re ridge trays visible but the felt stops short of them. It appears that the water runs down the felt into the soffit area and through the ventilation strips which runs the entire length of the very new uPVC facias and soffits. I would imagine the old ones were rotted to hell! Net result. Strip and re-roof which will even need more tiles as the increased lap will result in needing more. Estimate (mates rates): £10k. My friend is rightly very upset. Ive added some photos below but they’re not overly clear as the sun was in front of me making the pics hard to take. One point to to note is that these concrete tiles are of a completely flat design and thus just like a slate rely on a lap to be weather proof. So what’s people’s views on a likely claim against the surveyor? Yes a homebuyers report is visual and not invasive but it didn’t take me long to suss the problem by visual inspection alone.

The answer will in part depend on the make/model of your MVHR unit. As an example I have an Airflow Androit unit. The "boost" is controlled by a volt free normally open circuit. Thus a "bell press" type switch will activate the boost. As I mentioned above I linked mine to my lighting system. A second button in my bathrooms is programmed as a bell press and activates a relay which closes the circuit.

Salcombe is one of the those places that’s become the reserve of the rich and second home owners. House prices are eye watering. I don’t know that particular property but even a fairly average 4 bed detached with a sea view will cost you a couple of million. In the summer you can smell the money walking around the town and harbour. In the winter it’s deserted!

Why not paint them to match your ceiling? Abrade lightly with 400g wet and dry and then coat with a mat acrylic in a colour and sheen that matches.

Which foods make ? float less?

Hi all I'm guessing this might be a question for our resident Welsh plumber @Nickfromwales A friend has just moved into a new house. It has a Geberit concealed cistern but the flush is rather "slugish". The push button is rather stiff (its as though you're pushing against air pressure) and to be frank the ooooomph action is rather lacking resulting in just one too many "floaters" the cover plate looks like this: From the joys of Google it looks like its one of these units (and certainly is a visual match)....... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Geberit-Concealed-Cistern-Pneumatic-109-720-00-1/dp/B00B9J1XIO Can anyone tell me where best to start before I start randomly swapping parts? Thanks in advance.

My 2p’s worth.........avoid Ecohaus, I wish now I had gone with Aspect. They have a good reputation. Foolishly I decided on price and it cost me dearly.

I am SO with you there. Why is it so hateful?

Very nice, great colour too! ?

I'm not sure what the perfect answer is but in the past I've always sat the window to the inside edge of the outer leaf so 150mm cill is fine. As you say then cavity closers all round. I've seen a good few new builds where they scrimp on the cavity closer on the inside cill, just stuffing with rock wool (if you're lucky!) and slapping a timber cill down.

Yes, at the back along with "Cluckingham Palace" (for the chooks), "Batmoral" (for the bats) and a "recycling center" (AKA ....how to get planning for a large shed!)
