Remember me doing this, well I am back at the same place, bit of ply still holds firm. So ten weeks of emmets playing about and no failure. Not sure how long the bench will be here as the cafe us closing down. Hopefully the benches will stay.

Not just the overlap that is important. There is a lip and a rim that interlock, that is a secondary line of defence against tile movement in high winds, down here we have very high winds. Grinding the lip away can cause the tile to crack unnoticed and cause problems in the future. There really needs to be a replacement tile that has the notch moulded in. Not sure if those are made.

This retaining wall at Porthleven has had some 'tell tales' on it for years. You can just seem them. One just to the left of the telegraph post and the other a few metres to the right. The harbour wall usually takes the brunt of the storm waves, but there will be a lot of water that filters down the higher wall. The storm below took out a number of the stone blocks on the harbour wall and then moved them down the road about 20 metres.

Explains why building ventilation is important, but also must not be wasteful i.e. MVHR. Cornwall used to have extremely high incidences of lung cancer. This was put down to high levels of smoking. They dropped when buildings were retrofitted with radon control systems.

Catholic church was it? And what is this around his neck

Is that more MCS registered companies?

Pussies, we get the highest marks here.

Find ones that is reasonably priced and will do a very small flow rate is the problem.

That is making an assumption that the government, car manufacturers and energy companies are in collusion. This government has shown repeatably, that they are incapable of organising anything. And anyway, and EV, charged at home, like most are, is still cheaper to run that an ICE. Quite possibly, and probably a better way to do it while there was more cash in the economy. I heard on the radio this morning that there may be another increase in standing charge as that is not covered by the price cap.

After a bit of digging about, found this. https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/2023/08/energy-bills-to-fall-as-new-price-cap-is-announced---what-you-ne/ Seems that gas is 6.89p/kWh and electricity is 27.35p/kWh. There are regional variations and the standing charge rates have not been released yet. Don't help me calculate anything as I am on E7 which is calculated in a most peculiar way.

How old is the house?

It is a type of rayon. https://sewport.com/fabrics-directory/lyocell-fabric Does Brentford Nylons sell it. Sparks may fly.

Have you run the different module configurations though PVGIS?

What concerns me is that at £16k, you are replacing batteries and probably a micro inverter or two before you hit the break even point. Fitting PV is probably worth it, really not sure if batteries are. Would you be diverting excess PV to DHW storage?

Can you easily export the historical data to a memory card or another computer for further analysis? Does it need special adapters or software? Am I right in thinking it is just an ESP8266 with a few things added, but not an RTC.

Not needed in modern microwaves, the 'wave stirrer' is either hidden, or it is done electronically. You can get ovens now that sense what is on the plate and power the waves to get a perfect supper. Then there is this from 30 years ago. Smart microwave is a touch easier 22 October 1994 A MICROWAVE oven that uses a neural network to decide when reheated food or drink is ready will go on sale in Britain next year. It works by detecting the humidity of the air inside the oven, and deducing from that how “done” the contents are. The user only has to press a button to indicate whether the contents are solid or liquid. As the food heats up, the oven continually decides what power level to use and when to stop. The oven is the result of three years’ research at the European laboratories of the Japanese electronics company Sharp and the University of Oxford’s department of engineering science. The aim was to build a “one-touch” system that would cook foods according to their type. But according to Toshio Nomura, research manager at Sharp, the researchers soon realised that there are too many variables. “There are thin soups, thick lumpy soups, thin meats, vegetables,” he says. “There were just too many types.”

Think my parents, then just one parent, put it loads of claims. They had an interim payment a few years back, but I think their main claim is still unsettled. I will say that if a deal looks too good to be true, it probably is. But then I don't really understand the stock market, seems to me that it has little to do with reality and good business practice.

For hundreds of year people thought you did not need a flushing bog in the house. Some people still think that antibiotics and vaccines are unnecessary, but happy to take pills their friends give them.

Well letting the grease monkey drill the hole, but not tell you where, or how large it is.

Be interesting to see how well it works, it does look alright.

How are they powered, eclectically i.e. batteries, or mechanically, i.e. twisted seaweed.

Can you do a sketch of what you have in mind. Like most 'power' systems they can be run serially or in parallel. One may be better than the other.

My car air con has eventually given up the ghost, after 16 years and probably 10,000 hours of usage.

Another way to look at it is that for every kilo of timber burnt, about kilos of air needs to be combined. That is roughly 10m³ of air. Domestic wood burners are not very efficient though.
