1930s Semi Refurb - Part 11 of ... (Summer House)
- Thread starter dlockers

Yeah but I've ran out of brain cells to think about it. I've put a fused spur to an outdoor socket as I think you just power the outdoor unit?
If not I've left plenty of space to fish wires behind the plasterboard but my working assumption is outdoor power.
I largely meant if you had provision for ventilation/ventilator, other than via the doors - might be like a green house in summer -

It'll be insulated better than most houses
I didn't bother putting trickle vents on my windows forcmine either. Not permanently occupied.
Day 14.5 (part 2)
Tried to squeeze 5 mins of DIY in today... it was all going so well (soffit lights):
Forgot I had doubled up the roof joists....FFS.
(just going to notch it with the multitool).
Just realised as well, my cladding will probably come out a decent amount. Oops. All in all, a fail of a day
Day 15.5 part a
Got itchy feet having ran the SWA so decided to quickly wire up the CU. Annoyingly; I would have been totally golden if I had done the incoming wires slightly lower - so now I have a minor "hole" to cover. Nevermind, I am over the moon - finally have power of some description.
Open to criticism on the wiring - never done a CU before. Earths are a tad bit rough and I need to trim the bus bar/add another RCD in.
Yippee
Day 16
I am brooooooooooooooooken.
Day started slow -
1. Nursery drop-off
2. Coffee
3. Itchy feet waiting for Southern Sheeting; desire to get rid of leftover 5x2
4. Allotment bed! I've got 2 more to make up and then the side return is also clear from random materials. I also have a bunch of fence posts for other "good ideas" that I'll chop up to make a composter. Plan to cover this with weed membrane and call it a day for this year.
5. I then bizarrely had to go and count up to 11am, as I wanted a FlexiSpot E7 Pro and they do this BIZARRE anniversary sale where codes go live at specific times. Annoying AF. The 50% code was a scam - but I only paid £299 which is what I was willing to pay for the non-pro model. Great success except 4 seconds to "go time" and Southern Sheeting pull up........
6. This was annoying AF. 14 sheets. I mis-cut two, so the neighbour who hates me has a bit of a patchwork on her side
^ apols about screw alignment [+/- 10mm). I really did try and IRL it is less bad. Now they're up I can go and throw some more fixings in.
7. Then the internet man showed up. I've gone for Lit Fibre mainly because I thought they'd re-run the line as the previous guys did a bodge job across the front of my 1930s brick arch. Idiots. The chap came to "pre-test" on Thursday and said he'd use the existing line and just run it nicely for me. Top man!
8. Random bloke from internet showed up for 3 full sheets of PIR and tonnes of offcuts. Had he follow me down to the garden to pick up as many as he could hold
9. I then made a start on the nice stuff for the front, but not before fixing the spacing (top batten had sunk back 5mm or so). Drip edge and a long rip got my brain occupied for longer than it should take...
Then had a text that the chap down the road had people nosing in his garden, so spent the evening locking things up..........bath time now.
Edit: awwwwwwwwwwwwyisssss
