Flip the bar every other sharpen to keep the wear even…Did she put the bar on upside down on the saw
It’s a long running joke amongst arb people that you can tell an amateur because they will make a comment about the bar being upside down.
Sorry mate, I don’t make the rules

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
small skip? or old 600 gal steel diesel tank cut in half for two units (used to use them for scrap skips in my yard) and always had a decent supply of 'em - " can you get rid of this old diesel tank for me please? "First tank of the year , forgot what a lot there is to organise
I know its been talked about on other threads but must find a way to knock up some dry mix that doesnt involve another trip with truck, 3t st dumper is wrong shape completely to get it mixed without thoroughly abusing bucket and dumper skip .....perhaps a mixer bucket

Delivery to yard was late so had a minute on this little plate, starts but then spews oil out of the exhaust pipe and gets grumpy, sack it off to the engine graveyard and put a replacement engine on is probably best, no spapped valve springs

you can do a S73 - variation of condition , will basically re decide your planning but only the the specific aspect - ie they can’t fail it on anything else!

Yeah it's one of the reasons I stick to a straight tip. when doing my own bits of concrete I have found no simpler or quicker way than simply mixing it up in the 3t terex.First tank of the year , forgot what a lot there is to organise

The manifold connections are really easy - they use a specific type of compression fitting that go together well. As the pipes are connected before you pour the screed you have quite a bit of wiggle-room within the floor loops, so it isn’t critical that your terminations are the exact length.

Yeh I was gonna attempt non material ammendment but decided to go full new app route. I want to move the position of dwelling slightly, retain existing double garage and go full 2 storey rather than 1.5. Planners seemed agreeable but were of opinion new app was needed so just gonna play ball.I’ve just had to do this, not to get an exemption but the opposite
Hmm tempting. I will have to make a decision when the time comes. Do you need inserts or is the pipe quite rigid? Do you use a special pipe cutter? What about the dreaded ptfe? At least you'd know if there was a leak with the pressure guages.
I'm thinking of going pipes clipped to bottom of insulation in 100/125 mm structural self compacting slab with no screed. Will be a very long reaction time but should be ok for new build. Idea will be to keep system on low and slow.

I thought a piece of rsj welded onto a headstock might make a spinning stirrer under tilty but also it might be rough on the tilty

No ptfe it’s all o rings, standard pipe cutter and you just use a little reamer tool to open up the pipe. Literally easiest plumbing you can do
Just make sure you drain down the system after you have poured if your going in slab - seem them explode everywhere in a hard frost with them going in pre-weathertight!

It’s all in the design and commissioning really, and how you then set it up to suit then heat source.No ptfe it’s all o rings, standard pipe cutter and you just use a little reamer tool to open up the pipe. Literally easiest plumbing you can do
The actual UFH is pretty hard to get wrong, it’s just a big radiator

Mines still not right I reckon.
Chatting to a lad who knows about such things said there's some new clever smart actuators about now he really rated need to look into them

I want single, or minimal, zones. Keep it simple stupid principle. Realistically not going to get massive temp difference in rooms in modest well insulated new build

Minimum control is usually best, especially with ASHP. Depends on your individual circumstances.
