I've got alot of ground to cover which is 8.50 x 7.50m 68m2! It'll come in 2 lengths 4m wide by 8.5m long What grass size/spec did you go with? I'm looking at the 40mm grass

How long have you had it down? Initially I was planning on using sharp sand, but it appears that grano dust is more preferable? I'm assuming on your last house you used U pins to secure the perimeter of the grass? that is what i intend to use but not sure how secure/reliable they are? Why...

I'm considering laying artificial grass, is it a must that type 1 mot sub base is laid down first on soil? Could i just lay down 50mm grano dust followed by a weed membrane and then the artificial grass?

Good to know thanks, I'll stick between 10.5 to 10.8kw shower with 10mm cable, would that be 45 or 50amp mcb? I'll see if i can determine the route of the existing wiring and how its fixed otherwise it may just have to be a new run of 10mm if thats possible and accessible to achieve :)

Ok thanks, I'll see if i can determine if its clipped in, under insulation or within conduit and report back. As the run is only 5m i may just consider upgrading to 10mm to be on the safe side If the wiring is upgraded to 10mm what is the max kw shower i can go for?

@EFLImpudence confirmed it will be fine, would welcome your thoughts That 10.5kW with 45A or 50A MCB with 6mm cable will be safe I'm assuming if the worst case scenario is applied i.e the wiring is within the insulation, clipped etc and given that its a small run it would be safe!?

Unfortunately i do not know how it has been run, the shower is approx 5m from the fuseboard I thought it would be a specific kw rather than a range! Can i still upgrade to 10.5kw with the existing wiring? And just upgrade the mcb to 45a or 50a

Perfect, got the label from the shower, but still unclear Any ideas?

Can i double check that 10.5kW with 45A or 50A MCB with 6mm cable will be safe? If you've used for long periods of time regularly with a family?

Oh ok, its an MK fuseboard

So if its 6mm wiring i have the following options? 9.5kW with 40A MCB. 10.5kW with 45A or 50A MCB

Good spot, will double check! Thanks! How about the wiring?

We have a triton opal 3 electric shower Unsure what kw it is as there are various versions, is there anyway i can find out? The wiring is it 6mm or 10mm? I think its 6mm? The fuseboard is 5 metres away from the shower which has a 40amp mcb What is the max kw shower we can upgrade to with the...

Will a concrete gravel board retaining wall setup be suitable to hold back soil that is 3 to 4ft high? The soil goes back approx 4 to 6 meters Also is there a risk when it rains that rainwater could seep through between the gravel boards? Can this be avoided? Are there any risks with this...

I have no drain points upstairs, however i have 3 drain points downstairs, would it be best to open all 3 at the same time?

I can't turn back as to what was used, any other product you recommend to get the water clear? X400? The radiators look relatively new

Other that is the procedure correct? I used x800 left it in for 4 weeks drained it all out yesterday following the above procedure but the water is still light brown, not clear Anything else i can do?

Mains flushing radiators, combi boiler Can i check if the procedure i am following is correct? Close all TRV's on all the radiators apart from one radiator, starting upstairs.. Open the boiler filling loop Open drain point located in bathroom to flush through for 5 mins Close the first...
