Not sure if anyone fancies this - it's about 110cm wide and 2m high. The top section comes apart.

So does having a smart meter mean you have to have a tracker tariff? or can you still stick on whatever company's version of the standard one?

Whats the forum position on smart meters - we're being offered one, but the conspiracy theorist in me doesn't want to give 'them' live usage data...

Anyone have any tips for drain noise.

We have a downpipe that take rainwater/sink/shower water into the sewer - it terminates into something like this:

https://www.jdpipes.co.uk/aws/images/blog/underground-sewer/drainage-gullies/ptrap-gully.jpg

It gets super noisy with water splashing into the hopper - is there an easy thing to put on the bottom of the downpipe to reduce noise?

thank you!

great job - what filler did you use? I'm about to need to do the same.

This is what i thought - the only potential complication is cable sizing to your location - depending on the size of your heater

Yeah - there were quite a few, this made sense to me: https://www.saunafin.com/blog/sauna-kits/how-to-build-sauna-kit-guide/

This guy's recent video looks pretty helpful for the actual build up - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7Cj9q00nJA&ab_channel=JohnThain

In my head, i thought some non-flammable insulation in the framing, followed by a vapour barrier and then cedar/larch/pine cladding would work well to be reasonably insulated and mean heat-up speeds were good. I'd imagine that'd make sense for a basement too (depending how outdoor-ey your basement is).

No, but was on my list until prices of wood went up. Was going to be an outdoor job though in a shed rather than inside. I seem to remember people selling second hand whole sauna's on ebay/fb marketplace for not too much

It's the Environemtnal Health Officer's job to deal with this - HSE will get involved if the works are notifiable - i.e,. you're above a certain threshold of some sort and have to tell them you're dealing with asbestos (this is from vague memory of a asbestos awareness training i did a while ago). Basically, take some pics, send it to the EHO and tell them if they're still doing it. They'll come down and check whether they think it's asbestos and if it is, they have some level of power to compel the builder to do it properly and can involve HSE if needed.

I recently used 'aquadecks' by owatrol on some seconds Cedar i picked up super cheap. it's water based and doesn't make stuff shiney.

it's worked really nicely for the past 18 months but was mega pricey

has anyone got any tips for using epoxy grout? We have a problem shower area where sand based grout gets saturated and fails.

One potential stupid question, is can I use it for wall-floor interfaces rather than using silicone?

Thnaks to those who've reached out - it's on hold for @Billy123 until weds

around 7.8kg as it looks in the pics

Edited my post so didn't get a bump for the £225

Someone take it?

Still for sale - someone take this for £225

certainly seems that way ! any tips on where i could sell it?

any takers at £275

bump at £300 for this.

any takers?

It really is! not getting much interest though, so how about £325

if this is way off, someone let me know

Friend of mine has relocated abroad and i'm selling this for him.

it's an enko-cycles frame - https://www.instagram.com/enkocycles/?hl=en

in a rather fetching blue with some nice sparkles running throughout with columbus tubing. the ST is 55cm and the TT is roughly the same. Comes with a fancy campag crankset, headset and seatpost. Wheels aren't anything special.

It has been sat for a while, so would recommend not cycling it home (needs pedals too). The BB is a little wobbly but aside from that and a flat rear it seems okay.

He's after about £350 for the lot

Collection from N5 please.

this looks really good to be fair.

our neighbour is being tricky about party wall stuff - so i think i'll do what you've done to be on the safe side

fencing advice needed - we have a 3ft-ish of brick wall between us and some noisy neighbours.

i'd like to put a more solid fence above the brickwall to block out a bit of noise/chatter.

my idea had been to use some bolt-down fence post holders and then add another 3ft of fence panelling above the wall.

The wall is in pretty good condition, the top course are laid on their sides and it's either been repointed or rebuilt with cement mortar rather than some old victorian guff.

Even though the wall is right between buildings so wind is fairly minimal, i think i should be more worried about the windloading and fence pulling off the top course of bricks?

I'm not keen on posts against the wall, which would probably be more sensible, becauese aesthetics.

any advice welcome

Mine got pinched when my handlebars were stolen - any chance someone has one and would pop it in the post/let me collect in exchange for some money?

Great - i'll give chat a go and see where i get
