Awesome, a horror house renovation (hopefully not too much horror? ) based in the UK.

I'm insanely jealous of what you've done to that house. I live in a semi from 1911 and I recognise so many small things.

The lake of concrete is quite unsettling.

Building an upside down model of the house in a pit and topping it with glass like an old 3D engine doing reflective surfaces.

That is an impressive misunderstanding. I've been filing as self employed for three years and I live in constant fear of messing it up.

Its the one thread that I don't have to translate as I read. Mudding. Dywall. GFCI.

I cannot believe how many ways that builder hosed you. It's like death from a thousand cuts. You're doing a great job though.

Those things are becoming a weird standard, almost like euroboxes.

How often are you actually going to use 16a inside? I'd run one right next to the consumer unit and build a 16a extension rather than messing with your ring mains. I'm not a full 18th edition electrician but I do BS7909 stuff at work and none of this sounds great.

Glad you decided to go that route. Tapping off the cooker would have probably involved going into a small single breaker shed-style consumer unit to break at 16a anyway. Three phase to residential in the UK is a massive, massive loving hassle almost 100% of the time and everyone you speak to will give a huge sigh before answering your enquiry. It's also impossible a lot of the time if you're on a new housing estate or in a very old street, bit like ancient phone lines and DSL speed. Farms and rural areas have it easier and the friction is often reduced because someone else near you has already had it run in for a big welder or lathe in an outbuilding.

Excellent. Only remaining advice is if you're going to make up a 16a cable get the PCE plugs/sockets from CPC because they're lovely to work with rather than random cheap ones that involve a long screwdriver in past the contacts.

it's outsider art now.

I doubt it'll help but it isn't just you. I know several people having extensions / garden work done and they're all weeks or months behind with huge back order times on materials and all the contractors being insanely busy. Some kind of COVID home improvement madness coupled with supply chain issues.

Jaded Burnout posted:Oh also, it's 2021 on a CPU 4x as powerful as my 2002 gaming PC, why does it lag horribly when I drag the viewport on a 2D vector program? I bet this'll come down to Inkscape using GL to accelerate things and MacOS being MacOS. Good luck.

Jaded Burnout posted:Based on discussions it looks like it comes down to them *not* using acceleration and also using GTK3. I'm not qualified to weigh in on the perf stuff so I'm going to see if I can improve the interface and tool behaviour. Good luck
