HALL of SHAME PHOTo`s

So just a tad more than the 75mm depth you were expecting then ? still a good amount of thermal mass now!!

Just worried that it's going to turn into crazy paving all because the builder is an idiot! Said he adjusted it all to suit Lafarge recommendations .... Strange only spoke to Lafarge two days before pour and the sub base , concrete DPC and jablite had been in for some week or two? Me thinks he is a gibbon who cannot measure or calculate such things as ; BOD (bottom of dig ) = FFL - (75 + 150+100+25+150) Gyvlon, jablite, conc, blinding sand , type 1

As for thermal mass it's similar to that of a paper bag and it's inertia could be likened to a carrier bag in a hurricane

Lmao. I did see

I just hate trv's on towel rads

Yep agree. Not like it's ever going to heat the 45m3 room with uninsulated flat roof and cold damp concrete floor.... Be wiser to have thermostat on the 25no g10 halogen down lighters !!

Found this under the floor of a house we were 1st fixing, this was a live, in-use gas pipe
This isn't a wind up, its genuine
It must have took longer to solder in position than it would have to go to the merchants (1/2 mile away) and get the right fittings

Just in case anyones short sighted, yes it is a one pence piece

That's shocking 🙁

As I was re-installing the bath the tenant said the basin water doesn't go down fast.....

I was like......."No s*** sherlock!!"

What you take the bath out for Kyle another smart person with taps at the back

Bath was leaking. It wasn't butted to the wall. It was installed against a batten that had a row of tiles on top. This scenario always ends in tears.

Bath is now against the wall and hopefully won't leak again. Ill be back to sort that basin pipe no doubt!!

That a flue ?

 

[Kyle87]

Is that a flue and a soil pipe dog legging around it???

Yep!!

Awful isn't it!!

What you doing on a 20ft yacht looking at flues?

Fitting a radiator in the crows next of course!

I want to know where you get those soil pipe fittings from?

I didn't get them from anywhere!! :lol:

Don`t forget the TRV whilst your up there buddy :dizzy2:

Little treat from today, notice the small roof and guttering over boiler to prevent it getting wet from leaks around flue flashing, condensate into sink, piped up to boiler in plastic all bar the last foot or so, 14mbar w.p (its a 637), couldn't take pic of flue as it was dark out, but its directly in front of a (granted non openable) window!

 

[Barry98]

That's a DIY job I hope

 

[Roger Welton]

Fairly certain it is, cust seemed to know far too much about the gas run, etc.

You've gotta appreciate the ingenuity.

You gotta condemn it!
