Exactly. Thanks!!

The idea to put floorboards is because even though they are dearer once I decide to make the loft conversion I will be able to re-sell these floorboards and wont loose too much money. Whereas nobody buys second hand floor chipboard. so its after market value is almost 0.

Well yep I meant second hand floorboards of course. My idea is to do a loft conversion in a few years time so the floorboards could be used again. I rather spend a bit extra but was worry about the weight/area ratio. Thanks

Normal chipboard loftboards tongue and groove seem to be as heavy as thin normal wooden floorboards. Would it be appropiate to cover the loft with these rather than chipboards from a weight prespective? Thanks

Yes this option was discussed. But it makes more sense having the pipe out of the way as much as possible. By having the pipe high up is also less visible

The existing vertical pipe comes from the roof and runs into the wasing machine/diswasher outlet drainage outside the house. I really want to connect them as it wont look nice otherwise. I may try bend the pipe with heatgun

Hi all thanks for comments. Not sure a heat gun would work. The pipe is quite big. Here is the picture. As you can see the angle of the pipe has to be quite small to avoid the window

The gutter is currently not set. That is why I sent a picture. Before the extension was made the gutter join was at 45 but we have been forced to chnage the angle to avoid running the pipe in front of the new window. So the angle is now approx as per the drawing

Hi I just had an extension done and we have added a window. The gutter drain pipe now comes to an angle that does not allow me to use standard angled joins (as per the picture) the gutter pipe has got a squared section. I assume there is an easy solution to this? all the joining bits that I have...

Thanks!

Hi all, I have just installed my cooker hood extractor fan unit and only need to make the connection to the aluminium ducting that goes into the wall. Q1 Do I have to use aluminium duction for this? I can not find the right diameter in my local DIY shops 125mm. Q2 How do I do the connection...

Thanks, the problem is that my kitchen units are all leveled up. We could probably buy a smaller unit to hold the extractor. About banging my head the extractor cover only two of the four hob rings so we have head clearance... In any case i think i will leave it below the 650mm. what is the...

I just saw this: https://www.ovoenergy.com/ovo-answers/topics/smart-technology/smart-meters/what-happens-if-i-cant-have-a-smart-meter-installed.html

Hi, My gas supplier called me the other day to discuss the possibility to install a smart meter. I was told that because I have underfloor heating the current smart meters are not compatible and that i need to wait until they are. Is this true? and if so why?

Thanks a lot, i shall leave you in peace for a while.
