No Valves and no dedicated flow/return pipes, just a short capped off branch for both. At least it’s all in the same room.

When are you coming? lol, give it 2 days to sort out what it pipes into - the hot and cold return on the conventional Rads central heating and the electrics - which plumbers I’ve had won’t touch.

I have all the gear.. and no idea! yes. Manifold, controller, pump etc.

Everything apart from putting the pipes in the slab. I’ll need to start a blog on it after the garden is done in the next month and then save up again to afford a plumber. i have realised that the pipes are still full of water I say water it’s probably sludge by now, 3 years later.

Tea and sympathy, OB. Hope you get it working.

Who knows? Not too bothered about heights etc, any mods will be to suit existing fittings. No BI so BRs aren't a problem. Will probably have changed my mind by the time I get an electrician. Before I get one of them I need a plumber for a couple of days to sort out my never put in service UFH.

In the past I have bought the kits off Ebay with 3m led strip, IR controller and PSU but if you switch it off at the plug you lose it when you switch back on. looking for a current kit that also remembers. Would like to use it with one of those kinetic switches.

If you use rgb led strip lights for mood lighting with an on/off switch, do any keep the colour setting and brightness you want or do you have to use the remote control every time?

Likewise 63/50 duct is on order. Hopefully it arrives today ? otherwise it may not be going under the wall and might have to go through the wall wednesday is dig and pour nope, its coming Wednesday :facepalm:

I’ve ordered 15m of 4core 1.5mm swa and 4 lights. I have some 20mm single wall flexible conduit from before so I’ve put a drawstring though that too. Hoping this covers me for upfront either way. I’ll ask for enough ‘tail’ at each end to terminate the SWA.

Thta sort of thing, yes. I wouldn’t expect someone to mix circuits on the same face plate so another switch inside is expected. I don’t expect someone to be able to fish a cable down the cavity either. I’d rather have the plaster butchered* than wreck the insulation. (*which will happen anyway, it’s how they work, it’s like a Keynesian make work scheme for other trades, the fallacy of the clumsy tradesman?)

Im not intending to DIY, . Just want to know where to take things to. To be honest I’d prefer the switch on the left (blue box) as that is the opening side of the bifolds and the green outline is where the outside lights are switched internally. So cable from sockets to blue box (switch) then cable to wherever I decide that I want lights. If I wanted an internal switch as well, would it need another cable from the blue box to the switch? (Hoping the mark up is visible) IP66 double socket. Now I’ve looked at it, it has many knockout ports.

So that would also need to be wired to an ugly outdoor switch? https://www.screwfix.com/p/bg-1g-2-way-sp-ip66-20a-switch/54649 but 4core would mean I could also have a switch inside?

Yes, this is the plastic outdoors box (off indoor power circuit) plus you can see the (one of two) existing outside lights (off indoor light circuit). can you terminate SWA to a socket box like that or will that need a different box too?

Well... I’m not too sure I want to draw too much attention to this ‘feature’ now. It’s a bit bigger than I imagined. Hence the further indecision.

Sheeeeeet, brickie starts on Wednesday (in time for a cold snap ). still no idea on lights, whether to light the thing up or not let alone how to run some cables....

Only 3 monitors?

Yes you can but there’s no point.

I think you should find something more productive to do. There’s no need for maths as it would work with a conventional setup. I just won’t be doing that either.

That’s not a denial then

Eyeball Paul?

This is obviously where efficiency lies but your solution does not scale well for larger households.

I see Salisbury have their own solution for this...

*shrugs* It’s all unknowns. I just have a strong suspicion that what we’re building in the next month will need some screening but only a couple of metres height not 4-5m.
