We are not going to wake up tomorrow with nothing but EVs in all our drives. 2021 there were about 190k, 2022 270k, 2023 315k, 2024 382k and 2025 (TD) 386k. So still going to take a while.

I filled up today, well put 30 litres in. The car in front of me was already filling up, was ten minutes before they came back to the car (with coffees), then 4 minutes before they pulled away. I filled up in 3 minutes (pay at pump). So a total of 17 minutes. Now a 150 kW charger could probably pump in 40 kWh in that time, so about 160 miles. I looked at this a few years back, worked out that we could charge 3.5 million cars without any changes (apart from charging points), and 7.5 million cars with minor changes, but all without adding capacity or infrastructure. I posted it up here somewhere.

Never had any incentives attached to it, but planned conditions, until recently, meant you needed permission.

Status.

A place that you pass through often then.

Been a long day behind the wiper blades.

I turned my wipers on at 4:55, and turned them off at 18:02, 617 miles in the (expletive deleted)ing rain, which was at its worst around Bristol. Avonmouth bridge was well soggy.

There will be quite a bit of air in the mixture, and over time it will shrink a bit. Some things are not worth modelling, just get some materials in and start mixing. Now I assume you are thinking of a standard imperial oil drum (45 imp gal) as opposed to a US oil drum (55 US gal, or 46 imp gal). Or somewhere between 205 and 208 litres. I used to listen to 208 MW when I lived in France, was one of the only English speaking music channels we could get.

They will need to ramp up launches to a couple a week to catch up with SpaceX though.

This one is around itself in Tehidy.

Sun pipes/tubes usually have a vented top dome to reduce condensation. The brush seal usually fails after a while and insects get in. The design may have changed as it was last century that I was involved with them.

You have some trees, rare for the North Coast.

Isn't that just a skylight.

Is that to stop any chance of voltage leaking back down the grid when there is a fault?

Isn't GIT used for tracking projects. I have never used it, but have downloaded a copy to see what it is all about. Most 'office' software has version control built in.

BS9991 was updated in November 2024. https://ww3.rics.org/uk/en/journals/built-environment-journal/bs-9991-fire-safety-guidance.html Quick overview here: https://knowledge.bsigroup.com/products/fire-safety-in-the-design-management-and-use-of-residential-buildings-code-of-practice-2

I hope you are going to insulate and fit a draft skirt.

Same sales pitch happening then. A pool is a lot of work.

Were you on the material spec team for Pellikaan when they built St. Albans Leisure Centre, within a few weeks they had to rebuild the place. Not sure what pools you go in, possibly brominated ones that smell a little less, but still corrosive, or ones where the pH is too low and it is converting the chlorine to Hypochlorite. People think swimming pools are easy to look after. Some random pictures. And the classic.

Make sure all nails, screws, bolts and brackets are corrosion proof.

Quite a lot of commercial pools have UFH as it helps to keep the floor dry, less slippy, and therefore safer.

Realistically how often do pipes freeze in Hampshire? As this is a temporary building, just cover the walls with mineral wool and, as @JohnMo suggests, a VLC on the inside. If it gets really cold, a ten quid, 400W electric fan heater from eBay.

As the pool building is quite large, can you not make your own MVHR unit. Stainless steel has a conductivity of around 20W/m.K. A 3mm thick sheet would have a U-value of 6.6 kW/m².K (I think: U=1/(thickness/conductivity). With only a few metres of area and a relatively slow airspeed you could shift quite a bit of energy into the incoming air. Probably only need a couple of relatively cheap, variable speed, fans and the controls could be manual after a bit fiddling.
