Separately, it's also getting to the age where the wet timing belt deteriorates - if it hasn't yet had a belt change, this might be another upcoming expense. :(

The problem isn't necessarily the limit of the loft zone system - what's important is the state and size of the ceiling joists, that the system will be layed upon. I have DIY installed a new hatch, lighting and a Loft Zone system. I liked it, as it was light weight to handle and easy to...

Then forget about boarding for the moment, your first task is to get proper access to the loft - a large hatch with a pull down ladder. If you want to make a usable storage space, this should probably be the first priority - there's no point having a beautifully floored storage area , if you...

It's a Rangemaster, but the image has been reversed...

You're meant to put the seat down before sitting on the toilet! :rolleyes:;)

Alternative solutions - change the plug. Some plugs are quite a bit slimmer than others; the slimmest I have is around 17mm. Although I can't find dimensions, these from RS are pretty thin... https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/mains-plugs/0854403?searchId=d6aa74fb-6dd0-40f0-ad53-7a08994443ab&gb=s If...

I'm sure others will have differing opinions and sorry if this sounds terse, but adding RCD/RCBO protection to simply protect a lighting circuit, in case of a leak, seems a little odd. The great benefit of these safety devices, is adding a level of protection from electric shock and aiding the...

Not impressed. Sit down wees are far more civilised :rolleyes:

"Black hole" vents are good for bedrooms. Due to the convoluted air path, you get ventilation, but less noise and draughts. A "hit and miss" grill on the inside, can also be used to completely block the vent in bad weather...

I'm sure it'll be fine... Take 20 Fenchurch street as an example! :cool: :LOL:

Silly question, but have you tried searching for "freestanding carports"? Examples here... https://thecanopyshop.co.uk/product-category/freestanding-carports/ Even if you have, the images will give you an idea of the minimal amount of structure involved.

A very nice idea, to use the IR camera :) Although take care of how you interpret the results. As glass is reflective to IR, you're not really seeing the right window as 1 degree cooler. You are seeing that the right window has higher emissivity than than the left one - i.e. it is less...

That's what I meant, if two lots of the right side were ordered/manufactured instead of a left and right side. But you would have thought that someone would have noticed :unsure:

That was my uninformed guess - could someone have ordered duplicate units for either side of the apex, not realising they should have ordered a mirror image set? But still the coating should have been on the inside, so a manufacturing mistake?

I'll wait for the experts comments, but could it be a coating failure / UV breakdown?
