Ferdinand

For PC Get irfanview from here. https://www.irfanview.com/ Get a window grab of the view from Streetview (using Ctrl-Printscreen for current window or Printscreen for whole screen). Or use a photo. Trim it using the cursor and CTRL-Y (crop selection) Do an Edge Detect from Image > Effects >Edge Detect menu. That gives you the edges in white on black. Invert the image (CRTL-SHIFT-N) to get black on white. Print out. And play. (Most photo packages will have a similar) Ferdinand

I would say that boiler was put on the boundary; I would say that the fence has been put on wheels.

You are the local eccentric distinctiveness to be preserved. ?

Absolutely ? I've put a question mark on the title, just for you.

... may have been well summarised in a quote on the Radio 4 programme "You and Yours" this lunchtime by a gentleman from the Swimming Pools Association about the current boom in swimming pools. "What about Hot Tubs?" "Hot tubs are the devil's own swimming pool." This was known, in almost all its features, to Hieronymous Bosch the artist - 500 years ago. This is "Tondal's Vision". (No, I don't like hot tubs very much.)

I thought loft insulation was still available free and installed in most places. Phone up the Energy Saving Trust and ask - to be sure.

Our hero has a strategy for that. He's going to do the Colditz "how to hide an escape hatch in a ceiling" trick, and draw a whole network of hairline cracks on with a pencil, so you won't notice the real one. aka Trompe l'oeil Bristol-style. It's like you don't notice weeds in my garden, as there are so many people think it *is* the garden.

It was discussed in the thread you read. Go back and read it properly ?. If you put a balloon in front of it people may think it's bigger than is actually the case. (Update: you backroll to make the surface less perfect, otherwise your brush strokes or roller texture later when eg touching up will show up against the perfect spray surface. The idea is to do it at a time that will give a very slight texture. Worth doing.)

Aha - so not official.

Thanks for the reply. Can I emphasise that the most valuable thing is not the particular ideas, but that you take an active approach to find and learn *your* ideas that give you the closest version of your ideal within what you can afford. A huge amount of it is about taking the time to find the best specifics for you. Really, one aspect of what all the comments coming back should do is be stepping stones to your own unique solution, using the things identified, but also all other things you are now going to go out and find.

Can you identify the source of that? It seems quite narrow and focused if it is supposed to be a general standard - almost as if one particular specialist charity have nobbled the regulator with the specific requirements of their user group. But it is also very generic on other things, for example in things suitable for people who have a visual disability. eg a Class 3 mobility scooter can be up to 850mm wide, which won't work well if a 750mm wide front door or porch door can be advertised as "accessible" with no qualification. TBF Class 3 scooters are rather chunky. But similar things might apply to flimsy or shiny grab rails and 100+kg people.

Gent spraying a house with my Wagner machine - which is perhaps more semi-pro than yours (new cost approx £700). Courtesy @Hecateh. This is running on very low power - it will generate a fan of paint as big as me, and goes up to 200 atmospheres iirc. https://forum.buildhub.org.uk/uploads/monthly_2018_09/DSCF1416_x264.mp4.fa93da2a2638879a4d3aa8b7e948aa0c.mp4

If you can it may be better to just drop the gubbins into the newly opened paint tin after you have stirred it for 20 minutes or however long. Opinions differ on that,

Beware water...

My one tip: only use each bucket once - any dried up paint from last time ie crunchy bits are the things that will block. My pattern is to use 5l tubs and ideally use up the whole one each time, then tip the alst bit of paint into the next tub. But the last job we did was about 3 coats on 350sqm of wall, not a bathroom ceiling. (And if you get too close the paint will bounce off).

It is quicker than spending an hour cleaning out your gummed up sprayer ?. *innocent face*

You have read the mega thread, haven’t you?

So that is te various sizes of pinhole the paint goes through.

Is this in the ensuite? Why is the shower not running along the other side of the corner? If it is butted (sorry) up against the loo, you need to think carefully about how you will clean all the different bits. Mine is butted up against a bath, and I deliberately went for a narrow bath to give me a comfortable hand width to clean between. If you mean the one in the cloaks, that should be Ok if you get your wall coverings right. F

I now have some raspberries, so they are summer fruiting ones. So time to wait a bit then be ready to prepare for next year.

This that @Conor just posted on his blog is quite a nice illustration of intermediate space on a sloping site.

Because any light blocking junk that gets put on it slides straight off ? .

I would expect your arch to answer concise followup questions without excessive extra charge. I mean - this one should be about 5-10 minutes.

Ask your architect some detailed questions. Her skill and judgement should give her an edge in commenting.
