    Which 8x4 sheet for loft stairs he area?

    Daughters loft storage area is ready for some flooring. We can get 8x4 sheets up there so I was thinking of using 18mm shuttering ply because it’s strong and cheap. Would there be any disadvantage of using that compared to the 18mm 8x2 sheets of the P5 chipboard?

    Paving without a wacker

    When I do drain repairs I never use a wacker. I use a hand rammer to compact the stone then rubber mallet to smack the blocks down onto grit sand (Or grano). Then once I brush the kiln dried over I tap the blocks with the mallet again to get them perfect.

    Aco drains

    Your gully trap is under the blocks now so it it ever did block you will have to dig it up to access it. That’s the round but you see on the ‘before’ picture just out from the house.

    Loft insulation

    If it’s a room you insulate the ceiling, if it’s just storage or empty you insulate the floor.

    Aco drains

    90% of ACO’s are bodger onto the drains. Have they sat it ontop of the old drain and cut a hole in the bottom of it so the water flows through?

    I sat with my son while he stripped and lubed his keyboard buttons and made endless lube jokes. He kept putting the lubed ones to his ear to test they were done right. I’m sure he is the milk mans :cautious::LOL:

    What to use as a base?

    If it doesn’t drain well you can slightly angle the slabs to run the water off.

    Drainage pipe hidden under conservatory

    I would put a 4D360 on it. You will have to remove the hopper and might need to lower the 4” a bit to get the lid on with a socket under it. You could also just cap it off with a socket and cap end. OsmaDrain Plain Ended Rodding Eye 110mm 4D360...

    DIY drain smoke test

    I put the smoke bombs on a metal tray sat in the manhole channel. You might not see the smoke but you will smell it so it’s best if one person sets off the bomb and puts the lid back on the manhole, then someone else stays inside to check for the smoke/smell. When I do this on my own I often...
