Hi, I may be over thinking this (as I'm prone to do!) but I'd appreciate some advise on the best way to deal with laying a concrete base for a 2.4m x 2.8m shed that is currently sitting on ground with a drop of about 15cm over the 2.8m length. I've included some photos to make it easier to see...

Sure no problem https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xEyJC3A7vWvTFYIfDpXszlZvcTZYYp0N/view?usp=drivesdk and https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AscxnAdLQM1P4HdYxeEKT0JW8T5Ejyda/view?usp=drivesdk

Hi @bobo29 not sure if you are still registered, I know this is old thread but wondered how you did this in the end. I've same thing to do. I've recently repaired / strengthened all the 100 x 100 posts with concrete spurs. The posts are 3m apart. Rails are not notched in to posts. Would like to...

Hi, @JohnD, sorry I mixed and matched bolts and screws. I've edited now to only use screws which is the option I want to go with. Sorry for confussion.

Hi, I've 11 three hole 100mm 1200mm concrete repair spurs to fit in my own garden (won't need to go to the gym for a bit!). As ever over thinking the job. I've had the spurs and post mix delivered but didn't like the cost of the coach screws so left those. I like the idea of SS Screws but unless...

Hi @trojanhawrs I'm using NEST 3rd Gen. I really wish there was an option to control the minimum requested flow temperature on NEST but there isn't :(. Hi @Mister Banks if you know how to then yes I would also consider setting / controlling the upper output of the boiler but OpenTherm basically...

Hi @JonathanM thanks for the reply. I did toy with the idea of adding an intermediate opentherm gateway device to add more intelligence to the control of the boiler, but TBH I just don't want the added complication. Extending the cycle timeout is a crude fix but I'm hoping it is one that can be...

Hi, My Ideal Logic² Max Heat 15kW boiler has been in and working since December last year. You may find posts of mine around that time about setting it up in Priority Domestic Hot Water mode in conjunction with Open Therm. I've lived with the fact that the boiler cycles a lot when the room set...

Hi Chris, yes I did. I uploaded circuit diagrams to the urbanplumbers yt channel. Basically you use a combination of OT for CH and SL2 live overrides for 80degree DHW. No connection on SL1. All working great apart from short cycling on CH when room set temperature is reached because boiler...

Sure, here is the inside. I've only flipped the washer as not sure I had one the right size.

Mission accomplished. Getting the descale treatment. Old fashioned washer type. Thanks again.

Thank you - I learned another new word 'indice'. I went round a few of the other taps to try to see if one was loose and yes the 'indie' unscrews. Have the handle off now, I guess it will be grips and protection to unscrew the other bit?

Hi, Please can someone help with how I dismantle this tap to replace washer. I've tried gentle prying of the end cap and it hasn't budged and there are no flats on the bit that I presume covers the tap part. Don't want to go in heavy handed. Thanks.

Hi, it looks like the Ideal 7 day wireless stat is compatible with your boiler. Here are the install manual - https://idealheating.com/uploads/documents/RF_Electronic_Programmable_Room_Thermostat_Installation_Guide.pdf This might be the neatest / simplest solution. Your boiler supports...

Hi Phil, I'm not sure if you ever found a solution to your problem but I found your thread when searching for Ideal System boilers that have separate control for CH and DHW. Most / all the Ideal boilers have an SL1 and SL2, but if you look at the wiring diagrams (not sure if accurate) some just...
