oh i do love these building posts! some where a while ago on here someone posted about plastering OMG it was sooooo exciting!
i see you have underfloor plumbing there (only i would notice that!) any problems with leaks etc? also the vent is that for the legal requirement? is it just a vent or a fan?

No problems with leaks, except when I had the radiator off the wall whilst decorating, the thermostatic valve was dribbling and none of the dust caps I had would fit, its a smaller size, I had to use a drip tray and refill the system when I'd finished. Those vents are common in houses and they just let fresh air in, the vent in the picture was one I found in the shed, the original was missing.

we have to fit vents in bedrooms etc in the house we are building now
we are having copper pipes where the plumbing is visible and plastic where it is hidden but all outside the walls as in our current house it is all in the hollow walls and we had a leak and we had to remove loads of panels etc to find it and fix it!

I am baking flapjacks in preparation for a ride later on today.

 

[PeteXXX]

And whilst waiting for the above flapjacks to bake.....

It'd be rude not to!!

 

[Justiffa]

[PeteXXX]

Justiffa, we seem to be mundane at the same time a lot of the time!
For me, it's just gone 1 in the morning......

 

[Gravity Aided]

I have been up all night drinking Whisky, Tallisker if you must know @vernon, and now I need to get to bed, but really, its already 7, so I feel I should get up otherwise I'll sleep until late afternoon/early evening, therefore wasting yet another day.

Maybe I should just set the alarm for about 1 and sleep off the difference tonight instead... Oh hardship!

Oh and Asda were selling retractable leads for £5 each on their reduced shelf - a good make too (the German ones, the maker's name eludes me currently) . So, I bought 2 (admittedly there were only 2 on sale), because quite frankly, you can never have enough of them in various different locations, especially as my Sister can never find one (more down to her being monumentally untidy, but anyway).

I use the tin packaging from a bottle of Tallisker @Mad Doug Biker to store spaghetti. I used the Tallisker as a thinner for the bitumen adhesive for my shed roof and replaced it with some tastier creosote. It does have its uses...

I don't mind Tallisker (obviously) but one thing I just can't abide is Vodka. There, said it.

UPDATE: Flexi, that's the name of the make.

Also, regarding Whiskies, I prefer the Peaty ones, so Tallisker isn't a million miles away from them!

I'm about to open the window to let the Whisky vapours out and fresh air in, put my phone onto charge, and set the alarm on it for 1.

Good morning!
