    Edpm, OK to glue before fascia?

    I guess so, it seems there is no gutter then? In that case water will run down the fascia and against the side of the building, which isn't good news. A drip edge / trim is always pretty important. I'd also not want to trust glue on the top if a thin piece of fascia as the only method to stop...

    Edpm, OK to glue before fascia?

    Sounds unusual, the EDPM would terminate within the drip trim. The fascia would be below that, and about 25mm further in....

    Replacing plastic 2 way switch with a metal switch

    Some of the replies here are exactly why people don’t bother asking questions. Some people have to act all high and mighty, though, sadly

    Yes it will, so where heat is being lost rapidly will show as cold. Certifications are worth very little here.... who needs to see the certification?

    Replacing plastic 2 way switch with a metal switch

    COM1 and COM2 are the same as COM on the old. Without being able to edit your photo, on the new switch the top COM1 and L11, L12 are for 1 switch, COM2 and L21, L22 are the other switch. Get the COMs in place, and the other 2 wires for each side are interchangeable... if you get them the...

    Old 3x2 pressed concrete flags load strength 2 ton ?

    Sounds like absolute nonsense tbh. If the base under it doesn't move, it will need a huge weight to crush or damage the paver. Many times I've had a pallet of blocks lifted off a HIAB to about 3m away, with the rear support leg on a small rubber pad, on my paved drive, and no issues at all.

    Fridge Making Noise in New Extension

    With it being raised in a cabinet, it may be vibrating the while thing. A rubber mat under it may kill the remaining sound. But as others have said, that radiator needs moving! Will make the fridge-freezer work harder, costing more and shortening its life.

    Removing adhesive blobs from external wall

    Whats the issue with blobs? I thought EWI was fine on a blob each corner. and 2 near the middle on 1200x600 boards. Why do you care how any adhesive is removed... presumably the property did, in fact, need EWI?

    Economy

    Oh no, you've been reading marketing spin! All electric heating is 100% efficient (Well, 99.999 anyway). What you have done is replaced heaters suitable for use on cheap electricity tariffs, with ones that are not. So you will be paying more for the electricity to heat the property than you...

    Insulating a suspended floor but hit a snag.

    Tapering the insulation would force the air to pass more quickly directly under the insulation, which could result in cooling it. Which isn't what you want. Taking a brick out wherever is easy would be preferable IMO.

    How to properly seal ply hopper

    I got a little further searching "balcony outlets", but they all seem to have square outlets, or a couple of round but not to match standard round downpipe sizes. I'd be delighted for any links, as I'm drawing a blank!

    How to properly seal ply hopper

    I built a plywood hopper for my EDPM flat roof. I had to modify the outlet location to the side, and fixed the 68mm round pipe with Sticks Like, and then re-resined it, and sealed the bottom again for good luck (Im terrible at fibregalss, so thats why it looks rough). All good so far, but in...

    What type of retaining wall?

    Where are you going to position your mixer? Hoofing buckets of concrete or mortar up there is going to be exhausting. If you can have the mixer and materials above, on a large sheet of plastic, it will be a bit easier. Whole job requires careful footwork all the time!
