when i've got a toilet, I'll show you the toilet. ffs I've already shown you the poo poo's entire route to the open sea LloydDobler posted:Dude, find another route for your conduit, like poke through the wall and go around. Or double up the plasterboard, or put spacers under the ceiling joists and lower it 15-25mm if you have to. You really shouldn't notch a truss. yeah ok point taken  redirect lol I'll send it around the top of the wall in the safe zone, eve though it doesnt need to be in a safe zone and snuzzle it up through the external wall without loving with the underside of the engineered truss. It's actually pretty straightforward in the end.  And tape it back up  Take your time and think I'll tidy up the rough bits as and when this tool is still wank  but  sexy. doing some odd jobs, gonna need to use fireboard here  boshed in  Plant room door delivered! Some carpentry required but very cheap.  Especially compared to the other doors. Given they now look like this:  loving cant remember but 2 or 3k this cost  just coming apart. great anyway big tidy up cos got plasterers and electricians in next week to quote/walk away  got a fair bit of wire left over

Gasmask posted:surely you get some sort of warranty on a 3k door Yeah I dunno I'll have a look. I just don't know what they could do even if they are prepared to do something? Like I think the fix is just paint it? As long as it isn't going to get worse. I suspect they'll wash their hands of me though cos I refused to pay them to fit all the hinges and door furniture and install it, doing it myself. Including drilling a hole all the way through it to fit my control wire in it. Also I guess I kept it in the carhole for like a year NotJustANumber99 fucked around with this message at 21:31 on Jul 22, 2023 |

You mention a sensor or something going through the door. You going full access control type stuff? If you have made that hole that might be a bit of a warranty issue.

domhal posted:For only double the price: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c31qtc4mcXA Thanks for posting this! I had custom French doors made for my heritage home, and this is what I wanted. Instead they beveled like an ogee into the joint faces of the rail and stile pieces and glued them. One of them already swung open in the wind and completely blew apart. However, I did not pay £6000 for them. I might try remaking them from scratch one day.

I think I've exaggerated my door price. Like that thing where you are annoyed and every time you mention it you add 500 quid. So I think the pair, front and back door were 3.5 k for the pair. Completely reasonable. But no warranty. Because I had them not deliver them fully put together. Anyway heres my new heating plan. Its already wrong and incomplete but roughly accurate. So heres normal operation  Heat pump is on, delivering heat to standard hot water tank, for provision of hot water to whatever taps. This is pressurised so probably gonna need a plumber to do it. Hot water delivered at mains pressure, as required by my shower/bath mixer units already installed. Then house brain says OH NO, need heating in house (never happen cos of all my insulation and sellotaping up) so deliver heat to UFH instead  Also we might be in a situation where either hot water system says oh no I need hot water, or someone has already lit a fire in the woodburner. Here that system will take preference in supplying heat as its essentially free.  Or maybe not the hot water, the heating system. This is probably more likely? A winter situation.  Plus we have the reverse summer situation where its too hot in the house so we can run the heat pump in reverse and pump cold water round the underfloor "heating" to provide cooling.  The option I havent demonstrated here but which I do think is doable will be in situations like the below where my smart meter is telling me that actually the power grid is overloaded and wants to pay me to take energy!  See that overnight? Having that regardless of my needs. Now I can already pump that into hot water tank. But I fancy having the ability to steal that paid for energy overnight into my heat store so I can redeploy it into underfloor heating later on. issue is I need a pump and where to place it so it always works, might need a decoupler somewhere to prevent pumps loving each other over. Also not sure the perfect three way valves exist. NotJustANumber99 fucked around with this message at 21:47 on Jul 23, 2023 |

Theres also some missing elements like there will inevitably be a straight up electric immersion heater in the hot water tank for emergencies. But the plan is to have the system be smart enough to recognise a coming issue and like the google home in the kitchen or your phone says, light a fire at 5 o'clock tonight and I won't have to turn the immersion on, this will be cheaper for you. Even more ideally the robot grass cutter/bin taker out robot has already been down to the log store and is (endearingly) bumping against the bifold doors with a backpack of logs and a smiley/burning face on it.
