Going to be equinox in about 50 minutes, more time to generate PV.

Part Two: The Spark Gap https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002sr4f Dale Vince and Greg Jackson falling out.

I worked with an electrician and he had a very long, flexible, coiled steel spring, with a light at the end. Was a simple bit of kit but made pulling cables through easy. No idea where he got it from, or if it has a name.

Be cheaper to buy non bifocal ones then.

I work at a place that refuses to have systems in place. The rule seems to be to use any exceptions as the normal practice. It's a (expletive deleted)ing disaster. Took me 2 years, bollockings and general tantrums to get a drip tray emptied every day. Takes about 20 seconds to do it. The reason given for not doing it was generally 'it was not full yesterday'. (expletive deleted)ing overflowing onto the floor now though, isn't it.

If the panels are going on a roof, how does the bifacial part work?

@saveasteading and other interested parties Here is part of it, no tape measure needed ( @Pocster ).

I asked AI and got rejected. So try GQT, they usually have an answer, sometimes a humours one. Many years ago I stumbled across Geoff Hamilton's gardens at Exton (I scrumped a ripe apple off his tree). Fantastic place for inspiration. @Omnibuswoman just get a local pass for The Eden Project. It is always warm and dry there.

Electric fence, will keep sheep away and may shock a CH driver as well.

Maybe @craig can shed some light on this, he has people out measuring I think.

Donna Donna still got no knickers on er. (I can't look at Christmas reindeers without saying that out loud when children are about)

Maybe a tiny bit more understanding than the recipient of the drawing/file. The problems usually arises 'on the shop floor', not in the drawing/engineering office. We have similar problems with our food allergy records. We can buy the same product but find that the ingredients have changed. Nothing gets mentioned by the wholesaler or manufacturer. It is getting to the stage where we just tell customers that everything has whatever they don't want in it, in it.

Isn't an engineer the man that fixes your washing machine in the UK. Chartered Engineers are what are really needed.

Was more to show how easy it is to be 50mm out. In real life the problems are accumulative errors and systematic errors. Get two workers with their own tape measures and errors can be quite serious even over a few metres. I never trust tape measures, they are only good for relative reference, withe the relative reference being themselves. Somewhere at home, in my vast library of mathematic's books, I have one a about using a rule and compass to establish mathematical concept. Shall see if I can dig it out and find some relevance to absolute geometric referencing.

Re taking diagonal measurements. Quick sketch below show what one, half degree out, but correct length does.

2=-cos(π)-(-cos(0)) So at each equinoxes.

Would his lads not read it, they would need to know the difference between Will, Must, Can and Shall. We have two diaries, one for stuff that needs to be done, ordering, bookings etc, the other is the EHO (environmental health office) one that must be filled in daily. The last 4 chefs we have had have ignored it, they no longer work for us. In my experience, when it comes to getting a message across, I mention it constantly, I bore my co-workers to the extent they just do it eventually. I do make the paperwork as easy as possible to fill in i.e. day of week and date, rather than either day or date, saves the retards having to think. I put a pen nearby as well.

Think I need to lay down in a darkened room.

Get elected, promoted, into the right committees, then give up. Or just sell up to the National Trust, it is what our council does. I was taller.

How large, in kWp. Will your DNO accept one that size. I know export can be limited but it may be a temporary get out. How have you priced it, full MCS installation for an expensive installer, or scouring around for sensibly priced parts and fitting it yourself (well managing the install). It may be cheaper than you think.

When we had really complicated stuff to design and manufacture, we often got one of the model makers to knock up a small prototype of the complicated bits. Often highlighted problems early on. This was before 3D CAD programs were everyday usage. Later, when every man and his dog, not to mention talented 12 years old, 3D CAD drawings became a nightmare and quickly highlighted lack basic engineering knowledge and practice. One think I introduced to help identify areas on a drawing was an xyz coordinate grid system. That helped a lot over the telephone.

I am currently out in the sticks. Not sure I will survive, good job I brought a book to read.

We use MS Teams at work. While I never bother to read any off it at all. Workmates do. Seems to me it is just a way of grouping notes and messages by different criteria i.e. timeline, subject, recipients etc. I think there are a number of different collaborative tools available, but most seem to be way to large and complicated for small projects. Have you thought of a large whiteboard with dated notes scribbled on it?

From my limited understanding of the chemistry involved, once the water is added, the reactions start. So if warm(ish) when poured in the morning, a frost should not bother it.

I am at work. It's shit, and this is the staff login.
