Cool trick i saw for chasing with the multitool - put 2 blades on with the angled bits facing away from each other. Gives you 2 blades about an inch away from each other to get the perfect channel!
The platisiser is migrating from the cable to the polystyrene, this permanently damaging the cable and can make it brittle. You can look at the TL-SF1006P for the PoE or even better the SG2008P with a OC200 if you are going to do things properly, the OC200 will take care of all the AP and switch configuration for you.
All the current Unifi models are 48v so no worries there. Older models of AP's were 24v Passive PoE then they migrated to 48v active. it's been 48v active for a while
19:00 Tenda has an unmanaged gigabit switch that has a PoE input and 4 gigabit output (about 30 W max), really cheap (under €30) but you need one PoE injector. Unifi as a better one, but you need a good PoE injector/PoE switch, and it's way more expensive (around €200). Also, I would still keep the full run from the APs to the garage and add have the PoE switch/injectors in the garage, all centralized. Otherwise, you can find PoE switches that will directly power your devices.
it's not so much the warmth, it;'s the plasticizer gets sucked out of the pvc by the polystyrene... Had one where the cavity wall insulation had filled the fuseboard LOL
Spot on. Flat roofs often had this stuff for insulation. Pain in the ass stuff, especially back in the days of installing spotlights which got red hot!!!!
I’m like this as a joiner take on big jobs but in reality sometimes I could do with a hand but some customers see it as paying x amount a day for 2 men But in reality the struggle is real and some days you feel like you haven’t achieved what you want too But we keep going
I'd highly recommend Unifi AP's and one of their cheaper PoE switches. Solid wifi, you might only need a couple of AP's (one covers my 2014 built home).
If you can locate a single access point centrally in the house, I'd do that. You don't need anymore than one unless the house is very large. Having multiple overlapping APs is a bad thing.
Clearly the cavity has lost a lot of its insulation due to large holes through the inner skin where the floor joist penetrated the wall. Most likely the wall will need to be done properly, with blown fibre. Polystyrene was never the best material to use, especially with the interaction with pvc.
I love JCC until it comes to floods. Never had so many issues until I used them. Pain in the arse things fail all the time. Collingwood all the way! :) I have pictures of a job where there was polystyrene balls in the loft and the 1mm had melted the balls to it. It was another warm summer/dark winter away from becoming a crematorium. p.s Where did you get your socks from?
could be worse ,ya could have an apprentice putting his foot through the celling bringing down a 8x4 sheet of plasterboard complete with blown fibre insulation
I was also wondering if that was the original roof insulation or has spilled out of a breached cavity wall. Either way what could you replace it with, without further damage?

Polystyrene does react with PVC. It actually melts it. Never seen it actually get down to singles tho but I have seen it properly melted and sticky
Your sense of humour is world class. Love the vids, Nick! Watching from Manchester.

Polystyrene migrates the plasticiser from the cable. Over time the outersheath goes harder as it loses its plasticity.
Ubiquiti POE switch will do the trick, just double check the voltage of the switch as they have different voltage models.
Aruba instant worth a look for switches and APs

@@lordgeeker1138 I didnt realise they have all gone 48V, thanks for letting me know. Been a bit of time since I last looked.

Use LSF for the part of the house with all of the polystyrene mate - it doesn’t burn etc like normal pvc in polystyrene.

Polystyrene is a nightmare and causes nothing but trouble many years after it's been put in especially if/when some renovations are getting done
Great video Nick good luck with the rest
The netgear gs108pe is good for poe has 4 outputs which are normal and 4 poe (53 Watts total), use it for network mesh networks on vessels.

Very methodical...
Good job

Always a fun day rewiring a house which is occupied.
And where they don't move anything for you.

That insulation looks fun 😅 For the access points, you can buy a TP Link TL-SG1005P
I’m in Australia, polystyrene eats the cable when the cable gets hot ( summer temps 35°+) and outer sheath crumbles
I work in IT and have to run some cables at times, I remember in a school I had all those balls fall out of a wall, I had no idea what they were !!

Bit of a mare there Nick. Balls all over the shop

With the POE, you would just need a POE switch with power and a network cable
I know what you were thinking... "I keep getting covered in balls, its at moments like this that I miss Adam"
Hahaha I see you got the chuck lock 👍🏻
We use kosnic fittings bang on
I didn't know the Candy bar company had clothes? And Hiviz at that that.
Don't you miss Adam for jobs like these? Great shout out of the things you use can you do more often
£130 for a hoodie is crazy!

personal experience then?
Hi Nick …. If it wasn’t for bad luck you’d have no luck at all 😂👍
Sockets hmm. 2 is enough ...yeahhhh ! Costomers always right .... 2 is NEVER enough. . We all know that ...
wasp nest at about 9.40
Have you thought about routing behind the coving 🤔
What a load of balls! (polystyrene)

The cables got bad haemorrhoids 😂
Nick where did you get your t shirt hoodie and drill bit? 😉
