I disagree. Unless you mean as a template. Lots can go wrong so thinking each stage through is important. Access, tools , workwear. Mostly, what might go wrong once x piece is taken out or over a weekend.

It didn't seem to be a personal issue fortunately. They would want this concluded promptly too, having seen your determination. I've dealt with umbrage. Not prepared to back down and accept they were mistaken / my interpretation was valid. To the extent once of finding a different reason why it was acceptable. Probably a £20k decision Determination is my method. And research. Research and determination And being right. Etc Well done @Mr Punter.Punter. I'd love to hear how the vat goes.

Here's an offcut from a 6 x 2. As is my wont I rescued this from the waste pile and asked why it wasn't kept for noggins. Because of the big split. So I'll ask for the opinion of anyone who is interested. My decision won't change. @ab12 you first?

It of course helps flow if it slopes gown to the outlet but it is tricky to do znc can look untidy. In drizzle the water barely dribbles off a small roof and may even stream back towards the wall, so a clear projection is needed. In a storm, the parabola could be quite a long and flat one. In your drawing above I'd like to see a deeper gutter that is higher so that the water always lands inside. The cheap outlets are a round hole in the bottom. The water flows in like a wier, ie only a few mm deep. The classy ones have a curved outlet, almost a hopper, and flow is very much faster. The price reflects the science and performance, but the dear ones are also sturdier. Btw for a high gutter, I don't allow leaf catchers in the outlet because they need clearing. I catch the leaves at the bottom.

I'm interested. The regs show ever bigger areas where permeability is poor. On sand they don't seem to acknowledge that the water won't reach the end. So in our case we used perforated pipes heading different directions to spread it.... phase 2 and 3 extensions to the zone, the drawings and calcs got us the approval, but are 'yet' to go in.

Normally perhaps but it shouldn't be. It is hydraulics. The manufacturers publish flow rates. The number, position and quality of outlets makes a huge difference. As does shoddy fitting that isn't level. The rainfall data is in the building regs but it is wise to allow for the recent increase in continental type downpours. I ask myself what if... There is an exceptional storm The gutter is dirty There is a blockage Where does the water go harmkessly? Ask away.

Hang on. I know what you mean. But if you are using energy to get rid of energy that isn't an efficient multiplying of energy in/ energy out. Is that still the normal terminology for chill-stores etc? Presumably this was solar gain heat but it wasn't so hot outside.

Yes that would be, but slinky types are actually getting heat from summer warming and not the earth's warmth... so solar really. Is your sand glacial esker? The only ground I've known where soakaways had to be designed to run more slowly. (Except chalk which can be a problem)

Explain please why it is wet? I can think of pressure relief valve on a hot tank, but would tundish that if necessary. We have not designed ours plant room at all, so this is timely.

If only we could store that for next winter. Actually it us the one thing that is useful about slinky ground source. Warm the earth for later. Where you live, above 22C is getting too hot for most people. I was travelling in 32C yesterday and ok with it. We get used to it.

And AI might not find that crucial information. I guess the likeliest problem would be that trawling could as equally find outdated or false information, as factual. Yesterday planning a complex journey, AI told me to change trains to platform 1, (stairs and a bridge) instead of platform 3 which was 5m away. But fortunately we asked a person. A useful lesson. Somewhere there was a totally wrong bit of info it found. Now to find what material and colour of carpet she wants, given the reduced choice when considering open textures. AI response: "Your wife will ' know it when she sees it', and this may involve visits and repeat visits, to many retailers". Well yes, but thick carpet over underlay will reduce the effect dramatically.

Unless you are dozing it, use the term dismantle and it may help.

Exactly the same logic. They are generally in compression from the floor above, or just supporting cupboards, but the strength thing is the same: there is plenty if hollowing the regulations.

We all use inches on conversation for convenience. But these dims don't exist. The sizes are sold as advertised in mm. I phone the B M and ask for 20 lengths of 4.8m of 6x2. They don't ask if I mean 145 x 45. For heavy structural timber it will come in sawn finish. When dressed to avoid splinters it reduces in size but not a lot. There was a time when most timbers went through a bending machine which translated approximately to strength. Then this was samples, then by sight of grain and knots. Now we just sort of trust it. But C16 and C24 are visibly different. I would think that an average timber selected at random then tested for deflection and to failure, would exceed the rated strength by a distance because of various factors of safety which combine. And then we allow safety factors in the design loading.

Tiles will be best overall in cost/performance terms.
