When it comes to the drain do not make it a complete oval office to clean. That is my only real advice on anything really is that anything which has a high operational work cost is an absolute bastard you will regret.

Might as well get something Draytek or Ubiquiti at this point for it. In wall access points and then mesh the together. Guest, Regular and a 2.4 for those super special IOT things which cry if it switches frequencies: Looking at you Ubiquiti doorbell.

Oh, and make sure you put in a doorbell transformer into the consumer unit. You can put it on the downstairs lightning ring if you like to embrace your inner cheap new build developer, but something that will accept a decent doorbell or change would be good in the future, tuck some cat 6 there too

By mesh I mean it needs a dedicated Ethernet Backhaus but same SSIDs on them, other than the one closest to that aforementioned lovely doorbell.

Possibly so people can't just rip your doorbell off and plug into your network?

Not thought of that, but still it is a pain. It is pretty easy for me to do because for some reason my developer when they put in the standard doorbell they used Cat 6 cabling and then had three wires for live and three neutral.

There is a POE adaptor for the new one.

As for access point stuff, no point, just in the year 2023 I have seen some poo poo network stuff put in

I can only imagine that someone brought that round for a BBQ one day and they left it there. I have only had bud light once but never again.

Interesting story about poo poo lager, I was going for a bit of a long walk and eventually got to a pub that only did fosters but it was cold and fancied a cold pint.

A poo poo lager on a hot as gently caress day when you are thirsty does hit the spot, I don’t know if it is because it is pretty much water or not but since then always done this.

Why in the gently caress do you need a programmable shower? For the record, as there is a remote possibility, I am not looking to kink shame.

The neighbours on the corner love me. Wally is in a bit of a state, been waiting for a new hip for like 18 months now. The electrician the quote I showed you earlier is from a lad they recommended. She took him to the circus when he was a nipper. The main problem I have is to keep a straight face when she tells me the story again for the 95th time.

Don't really interact with t'other neighbours much. which probably means they hate me.

heres the as mentioned electrician quote



So plan is to do all the other work myself for less and then just ask him for the 90quid sign off

I can’t see an SPD there, though going by the length of time this has gone on it isn’t surprising it hasn’t been put in there as the regulations only came in September last year.

Live in a new build myself, everything goes up through vents that are in a vented tile in the roof which all the various extractor fans are connected to.

Have two internal waste pipes.

Still annoying as I would prefer underfloor heating over radiators and at some point will look into some form of cooling here as we still put in heat reclaiming combi boilers.

No idea on the passive house stuff but this is meant to be pretty airtight and would be EPC A if it wasn’t for the fact that the solar panels are limited because for some reason they only have four compared to the 6 those that face away from the road (even if facing the same direction)

Anyway, so far it’s looking like it will be quite nice when L house is done

I stayed at my school into 6th form for my A-levels and it was like this for sure, but a friend of mine left and went to a dedicated technical college to do a BTEC for those years instead, and it was much more like a community college than just more school.

The general ambience of a college is a lot different than it is for sixth form as well. Colleges obviously do not have a bunch of secondary school age people walking around. Also back in my day colleges were not affected by section 28 so that was different too.

You might also go further afar and accommodation isn’t really a thing either

I really badly want, 30 years from now, a thread where a new owner starts getting into the guts of the L and just slowly loses their drat minds for our entertainment.

"So today I got into the ceiling crawlspace and got wrapped up in miles of copper. I was stuck up there for 18 hours, I think I'm lucky to be alive. I traced what I believe to be a lighting circuit to...an ice cream tub."

Most people might get a little box full of bits of papers with warranty of cooker, lights fans etc. Whoever buys this needs to get a hard book binded print-out of this thread

So I'm gonna need an access point in the bathroom so I can use my phone on the shitter?

You don’t need it in the bathroom just near it. Wi-Fi can go down quite well so ceiling mounted stuff is pretty decent. I have one that is equidistant between the en-suite and main bathroom and below it down a floor is the WC. Gets full bars or rather -51 dbc looking at it.

If it wasn’t for my doorbell needing Wi-Fi I would get away with two in this house unfortunately because it’s a new build it needs an access point pretty close. At some point I will upgrade it to a PoE Ubiquiti one.

It’s the classic legacy systems so crap need to start again and use this newfangled agile framework, but we have to use something like SAFe because governance, oh and buy over build, but can’t be any of that open source stuff we need SaaS for better service management.

It sounds like they have the answer in putting you in the classic system manually and closing your old account but sounds like it is too much of a bitch to do it.

I’m in a new build (square shape not L shaped) and after about 4 months it stopped the random creaking of stuff. No major cracks, nothing some flexible sealant and paint couldn’t solve.
