  1. I worked with someone called Donkey. He had a really bad stutter. When I asked how he got his nickname, he pointed to the site foreman and said, "he haw, he haw was calls me that'.
  2. So this government has gone from the 'Greenest Ever, with the then lead, Dave, putting up a wind turbine on his home, to one that is happy to pollute rivers, reduce building standards, allow some houses to carry on burning, can't auction off a wind turbine site, and will let us buy ICE vehicles for an extra 5 years. Same government that is backing Tata to build a Giga factory in Somerset to make batteries. (expletive deleted)ing shower of shit they are.
  3. Who says I am a boy?
  4. Just plug her into the outlet.
  5. Quite possibly now. Was just a saying when I was at school. The one in Kent.
  6. Stops the hamster splitting open.
  7. Try a sequoia, it is pest resistant, might be electrically resistant. Good for making chips as well.
  8. That is such a hipster saying.
  9. At the domestic level I doubt it. Integrating all those together, especially when 3 of them are large variables, is not going to be easy. A large battery storage will be needed as a buffer, but the that is not cheap.
  10. I am pretty sure they are all the same, polyurethane based systems. Performance wise there is probably no difference. Pick the cheapest. Can you post up a picture of the GRP and the stained ceiling. If the GRP is in good condition i.e. not leaking, then the problem may be condensation, and that is a different problem.
  11. 90% left to do then.
  12. I think the use of straw bails is a terrible idea. But the fact that you are giving it a go is brilliant. The foundation side of it is interesting as well, you will get a good 'feel' for what is happening under the ground. The roof will be the best bit. I would knock up some simple beams from OSB or ply. But I would say that as I knocked one up just for a laugh one afternoon, just to see what would happen.
  13. Will be at atmospheric pressure when it leaves the shower head.
  14. Do you know the difference between a Jubilee Clip and a pregnant woman? You can usually unscrew a Jubilee Clip.
  15. P/V=C That is pressure divided by volume is constant. So it pressurises up to the maximum pressure the mains supplies, while filling up.
  16. When I lived near High Wycombe, the only thing that grew in the garden was flint stones. Sing along now.
  17. What are you going to do about all the stones? Coulds be a problem when it comes to using a rotary lawn mower with those glass doors.
  18. Fat fingers
  19. All this talk of lips, screwing, rubber, coming off. I need a lie down.
  20. Are they good for cutting up old Fords?
  21. Get one of these: https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/clarke-con14-contractor-355mm-2400w-abrasive-c/ And one of these: https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/pro-90-mig-welder/ 2 of these: https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/cl-cvr5rb-bench-vice/ Make your own.
  22. As ice gets colder, it conducts better, and absorbs less energy to. A garden ornament at -100°C should start to freeze out atmospheric CO2. Imaging collecting that is garden bags and taking it to the dump on a Sunday morning.
  23. That couple may have been very experienced, hard to tell.
  24. I just looked up the thermal conductivity of ice at -30°C. 2.5 W/m.K. So can still get a fair bit of energy though it as the face frosting would not be too thick most of the time.
  25. Can you stick people to it.
