Has anyone installed one of these at home, and how did you find it compared to traditional towels etc. (Even more esoteric perhaps than some of the appliances we discuss.) Ferdinand

I agree, but our Itho Daalderop 3 in 1 boiling water tap wasn't massively expensive. We opted for the brushed stainless one and it cost a bit under £700 IIRC. A similar quality 2 way mixer kitchen tap would probably have cost a couple of hundred or so, so we probably paid around £400 more for the convenience of having boiling water on hand. Definitely a "nice to have" rather than an essential, but not that much more cost overall when compared with a decent kitchen tap and the cost of two or three kettles over a ten year period. You'd better watch it, or he'll post the recursive spreadsheet cost model and the C02 emission analysis ... and the database of kettle lifetimes and survey of Kettle MTBFs in a the village at a 95% confidence level to show that 2 or 3 per 10 years is accurate at the prevailing local profile of measured temperatures since 2013. ?

Welcome.

Thanks

How many pieces is this car dismantled into?

I planted up some Mixed Spicy Salad Leaves seeds on Monday evening. The packet said 7-21 days to seedlings, but this was half an hour ago. You could blow me down with a bicycle pump. Ferdinand

I did a shower last summer, and listed all the purchases here: There is no problem mixing, but you need to be sure they fit - or you have leeway to juggle. Ferdinand

I have run various service things (not gas pipe yet, though - more TV, internet and such) just by putting them into the loose gravel ballast below a path (or eg above a French Drain). Given that the gas pipe will be reinforced, I think that could work. Personally I do not particularly like the idea of having it in a slab. My gas is all plumbed in, however at the old family house we had it outside the kitchen window by the path to the front door, just hidden behind an evergreen bush on a paving slab. This was at the end of a long drive, however.

Yep - you need the garage to be above the ground, which means lowering the ground level immediately around the garage, or at least the part where the seep is occurring. TBH I would also be concerned about the two sides - though "lowering the level" may just be for say 20-30cm next to the wall, putting in some sort of channel, and maybe part filling with gravel. That is a variation on the French Drain option. Alternatively you tank it, which (put unkindly) is relying on a big waterproof plaster if done afterwards. Ferdinand

Yabadabadooooooo ..... Hoist by own hand ... Noooooooooooooooooooo !!

Did you just promise not to divorce and marry a basketball player?

For one thing, it's possibly fraud. Is the phrase "fraud by false representation"?

He already has the tiles by the look of it, so there are enough for both methods (?)

Diamond would be negated imo by the diamond pattern already on the tiles. Extra work for nowt. The smaller diamond pattern makes it look like smaller tiles laid straight. I would go with the line down the middle because this has no risk of a need to cut slivers at the skirting - which would look messy. Is it feasible to offset the loo to the centre line using a flexi connection? But you will need to watch the tiler(s), or you will come back to find them playing hopscotch ?.

I like the business rates holiday. Covers gyms ? . (Allegedly) Ferdinand

Coop Bank say they are passing it through in its entirety, I hear.

If you stay there long enough for the laminate or whatever to have depreciated to zero, then you won't have to pay for it. How long did you say the self-build project was going to be ? ?

Just for you I measured mine. Upstairs 35" to the top of the sink. Downstairs 36" to the top of the sink. Both sinks about 5" depth. If you are concerned afterwards you can just take off the kitten heels. Ferdinand

PS I wonder if staircase companies can help you?

Old thread with a few names. Companies tend to do both internal and external.

For a sink the more important distance is to the bottom of the sink, as that is where your handses are? More importantly perhaps for SWMBO, who is usually shorter, and would not appreciate needing a beer crate to stand on in the new bathroom.

Looks good. You will be raided by a slimline Banana Burglar.
