Got it!

Real camera weight is 800g + a small solar panel to be mounted separately.

This should be plenty of material for the screws to hold to then. All good!

Will use self-tappers - M4, 25-30mm enough I guess? The facia feel quite solid when I knock on it, so if nothing behind the vinyl must be reasonably thick. The camera mount is circular with 3 holes, thus 3 screws.

Hello everyone, I want to install a wifi camera (~1kg) outdoor attaching it to a vinyl fascia. Can I screw into the fascia and what's behind it - is there wooden board or just empty space? I assume that vinyl walls are only ~2-3mm thick, so unless there is something screwable behind the...

OK I'll try that. Do I understand correctly that even if I undo the trap (U-bend) from undernearth and clean the pipes, I'd still need to replace it with a new before re-attahing to the waste? Any chance of re-using the existing trap and sealing the joint with putty/sealant?

I use old chisel but the central screw rotates only half a turn anticlokwise and then gets stuck - I can try to rotate harder - but are you sure it's fully unscrewable? Just want to be certain I won't break it. Yes I have access from underside - that is undernearth bathtub. Do you mean that I...

Hello all, I want to unblock drain waste - but my drain cord can't get throught the waste as it has wrench-like tip - too big to fit through. So I want to unscrew the drain waste - but as it's 3 spindle/leg - I can't find a wrench for it as standard wrenches are 4-bits. Is there any tool for...

Thanks for the merchants I'll check them.I'll try your approach :-)

actual I was wrong - wickes sells Sawn Kiln Dried C24 up to 4.8m and 195mm wide, still a bit undersized for us though.

Thanks for suggestion - checked wickes, unfortunately they only sell up to 3m in length and up to 100mm wide, and we need longer (5.2 m max) and wider (225mm). But will visit other merchants stores and select.

Hello everybody, What is most effective way to buy softwood Carcassing Timber (C24)? (needed for loft conversion). Assuming that you know the sizes (cross-section and length) and number of items for each unit. 1. Ordering online? 2. Calling the merchant and placing order over the phone? 3...

the beams will lie on top of walls (external and internal) which are nearly flash with the loft floor. The only way I see to raise them is to build an extra layer of bricks on top of the walls - I think our SE won’t be happy with this, but I’ll ask I him once he finishes the drawings.

They would need to cross steel beams anyway if not in this part of the loft then at another place.
