I did some work for Monodraught many years ago. They where importing a Canadian system. With most of Canada having very large season weather swings, maybe searching for problems 'over' there may reveal problems. It is a shame that there is not a system that can be combined with the MVHR. That would cure half the problem. Actually just thought of a way to cure most of it.

Thanks. I wonder how well PU adheres to it. They look like they are the same material that the benches in the woods are made from. May take a bit of timber and glue down later and do a test.

Where did you get them from? Been considering them for my replacement shed.

Dropped my shorts and awaiting my spanking. Will reregister with the screen name Rodger'd

I have been thrown out of better places than this (Bristol and Wales were worse, so they don't count)

Your ten k didn't do it then.

Remember that you can beat an egg, but not a w.......elshman Not sure if it is better in shut up room.

Eeewwww

Well done. Will keep the pollen out and my fag smoke in. Be like a pub in the 90s.

I know someone that moved there, he did not look like a good swimmer. You only need to go once to have a scarred mind about how grim some parts of England are.

Could be. I have done well over a million miles in my cars, last month I lost a wheel nut. Probably got missed when the tyre was changed. If it happened most times at that tyre centre I would question their ability, but once in over 45 years, just one of those things. Properly done, GRP will outlive a person. I don't think you can claim that any building material is 'green', without first defining, with data and evidence, what you mean by 'green'. At nearly 80 kg CO2 per square metre, not exactly low carbon. http://rubberbond.co.uk/sustainability-of-epdm/ GRP is 0.08 kg CO2/kg. https://www.steponsafety.co.uk/grp-sustainability/ That works out at around 0.4 kg CO2/m².

Metro Land. Chalfont St. Giles is Cockney.

You will get charged more in Beaconsfield if you pronounce it Beacon's Field. Less if you say Holtspur. If you live in Penn, pronounce it as Tyler's Green.

@Johan Clearing out my Mother's house I picked up this paperweight I made in the early 80s. The Brent System. I liked the old naming convention for platforms AUK, BUK, CUK, DUK, EUK. I think they stopped before they got to F. All for the birds now.

It sounds it, but say you notice a module has stopped production, you then have to make a decision on whether to repair/replace, which may be several hundred quid. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.

I must get a better day job then.

Or have time to kill on here.

That is something I have never understood. Why should a Doctor, Teacher or fireman get a different overall pay rate because if where they live. It is their skill, multiplied by the amount of work, that gets rewarded. Does a Ford C-Max cost less in Cornwall, than in Hertfordshire, no. Or a tin of baked beans. Rather moving away from the subject, but I quoted a job for a company that were doing some work for BA. My quote was higher than my customer wanted to charge BA. They tried to get my quote lower with the justification that they had a factory offices and 50 staff. I just pointed out that they did not have the skill base to do the job.

Trouble with that is correlation is not causation. A half hectare site in central London will have a very different price than a similar sized one in parts of Scotland. I suspect there is a lot of 'customer's ability to pay' going on, rather than a true reflection of costs involved.

Gasoline has an energy content of 9.5 kWh.litre-1 Diesel is 10.7 kWh.litre-1 partly why you get more mileage out of a diesel car. Looking at confused.com's fuel price checker for my area. UK prices as of Thursday 8 June Highest Lowest Average Petrol 176.9p 129.6p 143.1p Diesel 187.9p 119.6p 146.0p The kWh price is between 13.64p and 18.5p, with an average of 15.1p for gasoline. Diesel's kWh price is between 11.2p and 17.6p, with an average of 13.6p.

Excellent. I started off working in a boat builders, then moved on to vehicle parts and finally steam cabins. Steam cabins are used for rapid aging of coatings and materials, you don't want your test equipment failing before the test sample.

A very bold claim, you must have evidence to back it up, shame you won't share it publicly to help others make informed decision.

Thermal expansion and contraction is not elasticity.

Isn't that the problem though. The price should reflect the work, not the value of the site.

I just looked up the thermal expansion figures. GRP is 25x10-6 m/m.k EDPM 160x10-6 m/m.k That is nearly 6.5 times the movement.
