I am all for that, especially the females.

Seems high? Where did you get the data from? This is mean minimum temperature from the CET data set. The annual mean may well be around 6°C, but that includes all months, not just the winter. Just taking temperatures equal to and below 0°C, it happens 16% of the time, so 1400 hours a year.

I still see work place bullying, thankfully not in our kitchen now. Gordon Ramsey has a lot to answer for and he should be cancelled, totally. I walked out of my last place because of the piss poor management from the new owner, not the first time I have done that. As for coping strategies, I have no idea. Was easy when I was lecturing, I pointed out two things. Every 15 minutes someone in the world gets their head kicked in by a Dr Martin boot. Then showed them my 'roll tops'. The other was more effective, pointed out that I marked most of their work.

Very neat. Do you have OCD?

Trouble with all things electrical on a building site is cable damage, and mud.

Just about 10p and hour, when on full chat, going up the flue now.

Mine becomes half the length, so twelve inches, but I don't use it as a rule.

Yes, enjoy that morning tingle. Then if it continues, gen down the GUM clinic again.

Electrify it.

Quick answer is yes, no and you need to add to it. The longer answer is you need to know the total power per degree kelvin. Then you need to know your weather profile i.e. how often, in hours, it is -10, -9, -8 ......8, 9, 10....up to your heating off temperature (mine is a daily mean OAT of 9°C). Then you look that the middle 99% of that profile and accept at the negative temperature tail, you may need to turn on a fan heater. If you know your DHW energy demand, say 5 kWh/day, and your heating system is saying 5 kW, then you are heating water for 1 hour, so you have to make sure your heating system can, in the coldest days, supply enough energy in 23 hours. If you have ever lived in a place with a properly designed and executed E7 system, you will we used to this. You get all your energy stored in 7 hours (or less) then spread it out for the remaining 17 hours. In practice, you will find that your combined maximum heat load is not a nice round number that the heating system comes as i.e. 8 kw. So you have to round up to the next available size. Gas combination boilers are generally sized to deliver instantaneous hot water, so are often massive oversized i.e. 24 kW, but the modulate down to possibly a couple of kW power output for space heating, then start short cycling (what buffer tanks are used for).

Not really, sometimes put a table and chairs out, caused no problems with stability. Walking on it was fine, even with 2 quid flipflops on.

Close to where I work. How many traffic lights are really needed past the school, and can we get rid of the cycle lane and make it dual carriageway again. I have seen 1 cyclist use it, which is 1 more than anyone I know.

I used 20mm granite chippings, on top of a weed control fabric, it was pretty good. Lasted a decade without any 'maintenance'. Neighbours used 12mm, it went green in the first winter.

Which bit? I am confused as well with that statement, and that is allowing for @Dave Jones usual ridiculous 'statements of fact'.

I am not an expert on boreholes, but it is the flow rate of the ground water, not the volume of the hole that is important.

Welcome. I like a bit of SE.

As others have said, it is your pump that sets the flow and pressure. It is very hard to add a second, inline, pump. So your choice of pump and accumulator are the important things. My old 'holiday cottage' was on a borehole, but went via a header tank, then everything was either gravity fed or locally pumped (the farmer supplied the water from his large borehole, so he controlled the filtration, flow and pressure).

Just make sure it is correct on the application.

Welcome. What part of Cornwall, it is a long county.

Mine is similar to this one. Wide feet and outriggers. https://www.laddersandscaffoldtowers.co.uk/scaffold-towers/diy-scaffold-towers/home-master-diy-scaffold-tower

I bought a cheap (£600) scaffold tower, makes doing anything outside easy. Takes me an hour to put it up, half that to take it down, fits in the car and I store it under the stairs in a self made box.

Welcome As mike says, upgrading a 90's house should be easier. Have you got detailed energy usage already, just simple changes to my heating and hot usage saved me 5 MWh a year.

Nor me, but no matter how you show that cement/concrete mixes can have the same properties, there is no changing peoples minds, they are still stuck in Roman times. This is a bit different as the floor is already there, so too late for education. (sorry to be blunt, but this fixation with an inferior product must stop)

Will that not defeat the reasons for using lime?
