daiking

I used to like foreigners but then I married one.

Even at £30 I’ll give it a miss https://the-loadout.com/vileda-vr101-robot-vacuum-cleaner-f5a3a8fe79fd

Thanks but it’s a one plus (18v)

not bragging or anything but my venerable Ryobi cordless has a little magnetic area on top of the base of the hand grip where the battery is inserted. Perfect for holding bits and a couple of screws.

If they are, the ones in his mouth look like they smoke 40 a day

Are they carbon steel fasteners? Try some magnetic contraption on some part of your driver.

Is this in addition to the magnetic stay? (Which, to be fair, doesn't always work)

There were 3 Aldi drywall sanders left in store near me last week. Reduced to £30

Of course, the whole point of this is not having to go anywhere near the stinky muddy stream unless I need to rescue another football that's been kicked over the fence. The Axminster drill pump looks ok for a drill pump but still needs stuff like a filter and non-return valve for the end of the suction hose otherwise I'd never be able to prime it. How do you even prime it?

If I wasn't metered I'm not sure I would be too bothered either Thanks @JSHarris but that capability is far in excess of what I am planning for. Something like a Karcher BP2 or a Clarke SPE800 looks like it would be more than adequate however my wife wants an anniversary present not a self priming garden pump.

This is moving toward not worth the expense when a 'cube' of water is only £4-5. I want something about the price of a cheap submersible pump but without the hassle of digging the ladders out to climb over the fence every time an its a bit of a stretch to the far side of the stream which is deep enough for a submersible to go in. I hadn't actually got as far as thinking about distribution, I was planning on having a water butt to fill. and distribute from there, not directly.

I won't be reporting anything, it's a small suburban house not Old Trafford. A few hundred litres a day would be great, not cubic metres, lol.

Even in this weather there is a bit of water in the stream that runs along the side of my garden. It would be a great help if I could take a little bit to help water my lawn. Ideally I'd like to just be able to deploy a hose through the fence and down the 1m+ bank into the stream and suck the water out via that rather than climbing over to deploy a submersible pump or fill buckets. Is there anything simple I could be doing? ( I have no idea about ponds and their pumps for instance)

Leave the house to fall down, buy a tent, live in the garden. You’ll thank me one day.

Thanks but too late ?

Sorry, I’m sacking off the brick lights, prick lights more like. Just routing swa to the wall and will then get some other lights, either wall or ground mounted at some point in the future. Probably LV so cable is even less of an issue. marker tape ? Lol, not buying a 500m roll for about 10m under my patio. conduit isn’t to protect the swa just to provide a space for it.

Already dead. Just that most of you are too old to realise and young people think working in an office and wearing a shirt/tie makes you middle class.

No idea what an electrician will do wall side. No old tiles here just bricks and bricks and more bricks. What type of cable could be clipped to the wall? UV stable, weather resistant, not SWA?

Planning on this, a cable run to the external side of each wall. 25mm flexible conduit, with 20mm waste pipe through the wall. Could put cable in before it’s filled.

Old 18v drill/driver is 2.3kg, new 10.8v is 1.2kg. It is overall smaller but the bit you hold is actually about the same size so still needs reasonably sized hands.

Handcuffs?

What you have described sounds like a bad thing and should have been stopped. In the case of this OP, I still don’t know what the problem is. Is there some actual harm or is it nimby jobsworth rule following because rules are an effective safety blanket? Are you condoning being a bully when you can be because the system was a coward when it should have done something?

So, if you failed to solve a big problem your resolution would be to punitively punish small problems? To make you 'feel' better? Why aren't the LPC doing more then? Other than moaning at someone (you) who can't say no? Is it your 'duty' to help?

Not at all. What I was trying to establish was whether there was genuine harm happening here or are you making it personal? What would your therapist say?

Can I just ask what the problem is here? What is making you try to enforce planning rules when you’re not a council planner?
