Flitch beams are generally only supportive in one direction. Bifolds will have a torsion load.

I think that's a bit harsh, especially as we have several professionals on Build Hub.

What does this architectural symbol mean?
Adrian Walker replied to Tony L's topic in Surveyors & Architects
It’s similar to a machine surface symbol. -
I presume that you have photographic proof of the construction by the builder?

Agree with your comments. This cable, as the name suggests, is for an EV charger of less than 20 metres, for voltage drop reasons. It was designed so that an EV charger only needs one entry point for data and power.

The Doncaster EV-Ultra cable contains four twisted pairs, more than enough for clamps and data

Air monitoring thingamajig
Adrian Walker replied to Russell griffiths's topic in General Self Build & DIY Discussion
It’s CO2 that you need to measure and monitor -
Or use Doncaster EV Ultra that has CAT5e inside https://www.yesss.co.uk/ev-ultra-cat5e-cable-4mm2-3-core-data-pvc-steel-wire-armour-black-0 They do a 6mm2 and a 10mm2 version.

Helical piles instead of relaying garage foundations?
Adrian Walker replied to SilverShadow's topic in Foundations
Yes, helical piles are a solution. They are often used to underpin, but you do need SE advice. -
Yes, I used CEMEX Evolution self leaving concrete on a project, worked very well.

I prefer something home grown raspberry pi, pi pico etc

Copper Sulphate will damage zinc, so definitely a no no from me. There are Lichen Removal Agrents available as it’s a known problem.

How far is too far - extension to accommodation unit
Adrian Walker replied to Grian's topic in Electrics - Other
You will get a small voltage drop, but nothing to be worried about. Max load for both is/might be more of an issue.
