Possibly not but most local folk here completely avoid the beaches where the seals are and walk elsewhere. We all know where they are and avoid them if we can. Occasionally dead seals are washed round the bay and end up on the beaches where I walk. Thankfully the beaches are pretty empty here and we get relatively few tourists even in the summer. Plenty of fishing line and plastic left behind though and I try to make a point of removing it where I can. Humans are way more disgusting than dogs could ever be.

The way I see it, the MCS company should charge a fair price for the labour they supply and charge a fair retail price for the material they supply. It irks me that they seem to charge way more than this because they are the only ones able to sign the paperwork for the FIT so abuse that position. The result is the only people that now "benefit" from the likes of FIT and RHI are the installers that end up with most of the payment in their pocket.

Like gas, they have to train, qualify and maintain their status. A regular spark could fit a 'non MCS' PV array, just like any tom, dick or harry could. Would they be good at it ? ?

Enough of this crazy bottle talk Remember this guy off EB? Hotun

My dogs are walked on the beach every day but I do clean up after them, and they don’t tend to bite anyone. The collies just chase a ball and the sheltie is constantly on the lookout for rancid dead things to scoff (fish, seals, birds - she’s not fussy). I don’t think water meters are common or really encouraged up here as far as I can tell. Rains so much they have to use all that water somehow I guess

Possible if it was a tile. This is a 2400 by 1200 sheet of "wet wall" and the way it joins in the corners into extruded profiles, you would sequentially have to remove 2 other panels first. Hence it has to be servicable from the front.

In theory, the MCS premium is not the MCS supply and install cost minus the cost of hardware. It's the difference between the cost of supply and install by MCS and non-MCS installers. Are there non-MCS installers of PV though?

It is only the tundish that makes the D2 vent pipe open to the air inside the house. I think we talked before of enclosing the whole tundish inside something like a clear plastic bottle sealed at both ends so you could see it, but it would be sealed. The alternative is discharge internally into a stack pipe using a hepvo waterless trap. You must use ABS not PVC pipe for the run from the hepvo to the stack as it potentially may contain boiling water.

The thing with foam is they degrade with time even if only slightly. Foam may pass an airtight test when newly installed but will struggle after a few years. A lot of foams are not good to have touching cables either. The best job is as Roundtuit said and some airtight mastic or silicone like Orcon F and try and cover with tape. If you get both sides you'll be fine.

The Blue foam that readyfix sell is about as airtight as you will find with gun foam

I wrote my own "Tree Protection Method Statement" but that was rather easier. Google can find templates for asbestos removal method statements but I've no idea if they are any more than section headings or have far too much content... https://www.haspod.com/documents/method-statements/asbestos-removal-template?gclid=CjwKCAjwhcjVBRBHEiwAoDe5x3fRgKgIoXVFKWV2_BgHu84hFZ2j9vaizwIjACKZStGPYZ1uM9MLoBoCjnQQAvD_BwE https://www.hsdirect.co.uk/product-information/method-statements/asbestos-removal-method-statement.html You can also find examples that other people have written for specific projects.
