Water tower to dwelling
I passed it a few months ago and I had no idea what what happening - I
saw the scaffolding and just assumed it was a bit of maintenance. I passed it again this week and saw the new glass so did some research. A couple of photos from tonight. http://wiki.diyfaq.org.uk/index.php/...atertower1.jpg http://wiki.diyfaq.org.uk/index.php/...atertower2.jpg You can view the planning permission here https://www.wakefield.gov.uk/plannin...cations-online or somewhere on there and search for 16/01858/FUL And it looks from the photos that they have cladded the concrete instead of cleaning it. A pity really as it distracts from the main original design feature of the building - brutalism concrete. It also looks like level 1 has an outside door. -- Adam |

I remember we had a set of about 10 attenuators daisy-chained together between the aerial lead from the wall socket and the one to the TV. Because there's always some signal pick-up at the TV set itself, strong attenuation could result in pre- or post-echo in the analogue days. If the aerial was local to the TV set the result would be signal cancellation in an unpredictable manner, and that is what happens with DTT. If the aerial is remote, such as with a distribution system, you'd see 'ghosts'. However, massive signal levels should appear at outlets on a system. That's unless the tenant has climbed into the loft and bypassed a high value tap-off unit! Incidentally a lot of aerial installers short out braid to inner with one or two strands rather than use an attenuator. Why? Because they're stupid. Bill |

Now how will the tv faceplate (or a socket) fit on an exterior wall in the bedrooms? I wonder how far from a straight line the wall will deviate across the width of a wallplate? Bill |

Bill I am sure a 9mm plastic extension on the back box (assuming the front of the back box is on a tangent to the line of the wall so it is hidden) will bring the accessory far enough forward. -- Roger Hayter |
