Floor bounce - PosiJoist Floor Vibration checks

I think it is a trick of the camera as it looks level in the photo in this post: -
Floor bounce - PosiJoist Floor Vibration checks
readiescards replied to readiescards's topic in Floor Structures
Thanks all, I've yet to try bracing that area from underneath to see what effect it has. I did notice in a separate part of the building not all the holes in the hangers where filled with nails - so suspect this floor (fitted by same builder) likewise is missing nails - as pointed out by @PeterW Nor can I see in my various photos any sign of packers to brace joist against the wall once installed. (If I understand correctly the implication is that there should be some). I now have the 41 page pdf document of posi-joist calculations but I'm reluctant to post it publicly while this floor issue remains. I would really welcome someone with a bit of posi-joist knowledge having a quick look through it if anyone has time, just to confirm the design is acceptable. That would be really appreciated. -

@Simplysimon I've managed to find this drawing. It does not give much detail so I've asked the manufacturer to see if they can send me a PDF version of the calculations - some 40 pages! -
Just ordered some Wemos boards via AliExpress

Ditto any links to share as likewise would love to give these ago for some simple logging around the house

Wow 147mm wide @ 400mm centres looks a thousand times better than mine - (even though my span was only 4.5m) -
Brickwork damp patch after prolonged heavy rain
readiescards replied to readiescards's topic in General Construction Issues
Ta, I'm just yet to understand whether it is water seeping through the brick work or whether it is water escaping through the seep holes and draining the outside face. So am nervous of applying anything until I know. (Could do with a drone that can fly in really bad weather to see if the crown pot is filling up) -
Well that is how I read the details, making me think I better check the fine print again

I use my Three Sim in a TP-LINK Archer MR200 router where it works fine.

That limit only applies when you are out and about.

The sag I measured is static The bounce I get when someone walks around is too small to measure with my gear -

24V gate - what size cables for 25m in duct run?
readiescards replied to readiescards's topic in Electrics - Other
Darn was hoping could use 24v from the house to save digging up my duct to repair it for 240v. These automatic gates getting tedious, think I might tell my partner she'll have to open/shut them manually instead Thanks all -
Balancing
readiescards replied to Woodgnome's topic in Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR)
Took me many days to get decent set off readings as seemed very dependent on outside wind conditions. I did ask BPC what those bits were for and they answered in another thread on here. I forgot what they said as it was not applicable to me so I binned the bits -
I'm on Three paying £24/month for unlimited data. I think they say reasonable usage is acceptable so not true unlimited but last 3 months I've been near 200Gb download with no warnings or penalties. I get an acceptable speed of 8Mbs/3Mbs though my neighbour also on Three gets much better at over 30Mbs. He has an out door antenna which I've now brought but not yet installed. Get the odd 5 minute drop out but otherwise all great

24V gate - what size cables for 25m in duct run?
readiescards replied to readiescards's topic in Electrics - Other
I had assumed the entire system was 24V - but will investigate -
Following on from: I've been looking at the Nice 24V gate openers. Just wondering from these spec which says 7A at 24V is worse case - what size cables should I use for a 25 m in duct cable run? Many thanks Paul

Anyone installed Flush Casement Window by Evolution? We liked the look and feel of them but ultimately choose Internorms for the better wind resistance, for the next build (a barn conversion to holiday cottage) the Evolution Flush windows would look great and the barn is not subject to the same battering by the wind. Any one have/having Evolution Flush windows and if so what do you think of them?

Using a spinning laser level on a trippod thingy I reckon there is a 4mm sag in the middle of the room. Bit tricky to be sure as measuring with carpet and underlay in place. Took plenty of measurements. Anyone else with 4.5m posi-joists able to tell me if they likewise have any sag? Thanks Paul -
Is it going to be shoes left at the front door house ? I have thin vinyl pre-tend wood tiles over my screeded ufh with 200 PIR under that. And even then it is cold to walk on in socks only in the summer, in autumn I found myself putting the ufh on just to remove this chill even though the room was not cold. I guess I could buy some fluffy slippers like my partner though.

No down lights but a central rose might just let me poke a small camera in -

The centre of the room (which is also inline with the chimney) is the worse place - but the whole room moves and rattles as one walks across it to be honest -

From the floor plan just under 4.5m
