If the fall works now, why does it need to be increased? 05 seems to be redundant. 02 requires turdal U turns so needs improvement. Rainwater can be simplified by combining the runs.

We have an electric pole on ours. The larger proportion of a tall tree. Anybody know if we should get anything? Thinking about it, the farmer probably accepted a lump sum.

Looks OK to me. I'd be inclined to staple the wrinkles back, then tape wherever it feels the right thing. If you can make any wrinkles lap downward then they won't hold any water. It will look much better and that is probably the only issue. I've found huge differences in the quality of aluminium tape. The cheap stuff is a pain to handle and is weak. For 50% more from a proper BM it is certainly worth it. The same applies to black tape: the official brands are very sticky but in a controllable way.

All designers should spend a day putting it into wall or roof framing. I wonder if the TF companies that fit it are simply much better at doing it, I'd think they could readily have found the method that we one-timers haven't. The reality is gaps and expanding foam, then shiny tape over the gaps, and it won't be questioned. Bottom line though is the theoretical insulating property and skinnying down of the studs.

Quite so, but you can expose the existing pipe on your side and join into it. The levels will probably be fine to use, working backwards to the house.

The arguments against drainage through a building are. 1. if there is ever a problem then it is more difficult to resolve. 2. houses move up and down seasonally and could damage a pipe. 3. in a refurb there might be more work. 1. If built properly thee shouldn't be any problem. If there are rodding points anything is sortable 2, with plastic pipes they bend , not like old clay or iron pipes.

He isn't a designer and is used to seeing very poor workmanship where 1:80 flattens out in places to a still legitimate (presumably) 1:100. But do check the numbers. You can hold your ground on this, just build it well.

Exactly the sort of thing I had in mind, thanks. Unfortunately it has a working height of 4.5m, meaning platform of 2.7m and it isn't enough. We had best choose good light fittings to minimise the moving of scaffold tower in and out of the kitchen /lounge.

That man is a magician and illusionist, but I cropped out his cloak and wand. close your eyes, count to 10, say izzy wizzy, and the pigeon/bunny reverses.

There is something to be said for getting drains outside by the shortest route, but you could combine some probably. I can't work out what the bottom two are for... one seems to be an existing drain but also relaid new. Same for the top one. Inlet chambers aren't expensive but so many might be ugly.

before any further thoughts could you advise on the roof verge detail? ie if you built 150mm or so out from the walls, does that fly past gutters and roof covering? similarly at the bottom, are there any obstructions such as manholes? And what distance is the nearest wall to a boundary. roughly if it over 2m, otherwise exactly in case it affects fire regs or any access you have.

It's usually possible to use pipes in periscope form where the airspace is facing ground.. Takes some thinking through. But it is only the high face and a small length of each side.

More on this. There are still old oil tanks available but most people appear to think they have a value so its not worth waiting. I should have bought some a year ago but I guess some people who were unaware of the value of harvesting are now thinking the same now it is obvious. So I may switch to getting a group of IBCs and linking them. Shame about the cost though. I used some years ago as water retention. the planners thought it was cheating I think, as they wanted to spend more of our client's money. It simply involved a rwp into the top of one and tank connectors at the bottoms to link to the next tank.. Or better would be as overflows near the top so the first one fills and is useful. Pumps. Google has been listening to conversations as I got an ad for an excellent looking battery pump by Bosch. It links to a normal garden hose for immediate use. Expensive though. Cheaper are available. though clunkier. I may put an additional tank at the highest point of the garden and occasionally pump up to it. Then gravity can water the garden by perforated hose. I may also fit an old fashioned "village" pump.

That's enough, I'm out of this. You can feel that you have won in some way if it make you feel better. It's been interesting though to read that such extreme views are, or appear to be genuine. Presses the unfollow topic button........

I didn't think it was reactive but that the heat will kill a river apart from algae etc. Around the Dungeness maelstrom were hundreds of seagulls after fish that are attracted to the warm water. This is a dormant station so presumably was on tick over. There are tales of Mediterranean creatures being found on south coast beaches bug I've no idea if there is any link.
