In Germany it's fairly typical to have a toilet where your output is held on a shelf for you to inspect before flushing. Can be a useful diagnostic tool for various serious conditions so not exactly an horrific idea I don't have any complaints with any of my toilets, of various vintages from...

You've got someone who is committed to using as few words/punctuation as possible, asking for advice on how to make a high power capacity underground connection. Advice that they will then pass onto A N Other non-sparky to follow.. In my book, a post to avoid responding to entirely!

Kissinger, can you draw us a diagram of what you're trying to do. It seems everyone is coming away with a different impression of your task

Is all the aggro worth it to avoid push fit?

"Alexa, I'm going for a dump" "Warning; fan will generate 96dB - starting in 3.. 2.."

(I think the parquet is continuing into the kitchen and has to cross this uneven boundary..)

Long as you can be bothered with, I'd say. 60cm doesn't seem unreasonable unless the parquet blocks are large. If you end up with an obvious kick anywhere in the parquet and the adhesive you're using has some flex maybe also consider (part-)bedding the transition ones on a harder adhesive, like...

Me too, and I gave up on my microzoning. I can see how someone might want a room to be warmer than others, and I'd probably look to do that with adjusting flow rates on the manifold rather than a bucketload of thermostats and zone valves. Works well albeit accidentally for our WC; the flow rate...

I think it's a lot more work than shaping something cementitious in though, as you'll want to run quite a way to avoid having to do a considerable amount of sanding to smooth out any kick in the parquet ?

Better that they come to your properly set up workshop and be under your supervision for design&technology lessons, than you lending your stuff to her (and I'm sure she will appreciate the few hours' break to get other life admin stuff done) She probably isn't the only one in the same...

Can you fashion a bracket to allow you to raise the panel so it is held in place at an angle, and park the van so it catches a reasonable amount of sun?

Grout rake and a bag of actual grout? (it's really quick; grout is typically very soft)

Pictures of before and after? It seems like an exaggeration?

I don't disagree with that.. It's just these kids aren't even teenagers yet; scroll saws were the only powered saws at all in primary (styrofoam shapes) and using band saws in tech was at least 13+ in secondary. And that was many moons ago, in a lower H&S/blame-claim world If you choose to let...

Not sure what point is being made here, but I specifically mention a scroll saw because you don't cut your fingers off if they come into contact with a running scroll saw blade No way would I let any children, least of all my neighbour's children, anywhere near a bandsaw, but a scroll saw is...

Scroll saw may be safer than a band saw, and it works well for cutting styrofoam shapes etc One of my favourite lessons from primary school D&T was one where we made bulldozers, diggers etc with balsa wood and a syringe as the hydraulic ram, water filled and powered by a short length of rubber...

How much use does the workshop get in winter? Worth taking the time now to insulate it?

It will Quite sure sure will just call a sparkie, tell him to sort it, and pay the bill. There will be no protracted internet-driven whataboutery https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/oil-change-man-vs-woman.144861/ New appliances do not automatically consume more power than old appliances

Could have done indeed, but it didn't (side effect of how it was mixed perhaps) and you aren't going to be able to change the existing stuff to take up more volume now so best just crack on with a few handy bags of gravel and sand.. ?

Insulate it Genuinely can't understand it when someone proposes having just a couple of square metres of plasterboard between their paid-for-heated envelope and the bitterest of winters
