Just got back home, so shall do a proper reply later. But last night, after an excellent curry, I listened to this. (expletive deleted)ing brilliant for a spoof. Just get the kids and the women out the room. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0fsz1pc

Will give you problems as too little catalyst (really an oxidant) will stop proper cross linking of the monomers. You can get different hardeners to get round this problem. Your biggest issue will be UV light, that caused the top to react and cure faster, this stops the excess styrene evaporating away. If you can be sure it will be dry early morning, that is the time to do it.

All depends on how you calculate it. They generally use hydrofluoroolefin which has a GWP of 4. Zero ozone depletion. Quite a stable molecule, so will hang around for at least 100 years. The drive to the shop to buy it will do more damage as I think there is only a few grams in a can.

I am off to get a curry soon. Shall I drop by tomorrow and, um, drop one. That should be a good initial test.

A few cans of expanding foam. If it is wrapped in thick polythene, it will last for decades.

Trez bien. Do you have any outside lighting? And how are they cabled? Sink/washing machine waste, tumble dryer?

Usually how I judge other people's wives.

Phone up all the small glazing companies. I found a great one not too far from me. Look online as well.

There will be more Telecoms entry, outside pipes and cables. You can cling film over the bogs, just make sure your wife uses one before you do.

I have done some monsters in the past, think Loch Ness, and hat sort of length. Two ful buckets of water just ain't enough sometimes. Like Sherlock Holmes and his two pipe problem, mine became a 3 bucket problem. Once managed to block up 3 bogs in one weekend. Luckily the doctors found the problem and now I only do knee high ones after a long flight, why, I don't know. Tempted to enter the world's longest Cumberland sausage completion. Should be good for a deadcatting strategy.

Won't be a waste of time, once depressurised you can easily feel the leaks. Main ones are windows and doors, they can be adjusted, forgetting to tape up vents for the test, keep checking you really have done them all. Then there are the service penetration, squire silicone on the outside while the test is happening. Loft hatch. When @joe90 had his done, I did not tell him for days that the air inlet for his wood burner was blowing a gale. People that burn wood like that natural fresh air feeling. So kept quiet.

The toughened, double glazed pane for my door cost me 65 quid, 16 years ago. Yours looks a bit smaller.

Long journey up country, not a lot else to think about. I always have to blank my mind when I pass @pocster country. Imagine breaking down on that stretch of the M5.

15 year old schoolgirls are vaccinated for @pocster' Pimple now.

Then could fill the tower with gas, keep the pressure up and the towers can be made much lighter, saving steel. I think think they need to sink a few nuclear subs. Then run the generators and electrify the hull. Get the polarity, and depth right, it will eventually float back up. Then fill a huge balloon with hydrogen and wait till the wind is in right direction: free delivery to site

As you have already said, insulate to building regs, except add a bit to the floor because of UFH. You don't want to be loosing more to the ground than what goes through the roof. PV is a no brainer, cheap and easy. Diverter to a cylinder, cheap and simple. Forget batteries, just not worth the hassle, so let the next owner swap the inverter to a hybrid one. Get the airtightness as good as you can, then, as long as you have not put in stupidly sized windows, you can get cheaper windows, saving 0.2 W/m².K on windows is really desperation to get through SAP, or altruism. MVHR, worth it and you will need it anyway for ventilation. Why bother with data cabling, everything is going wireless. Stick in a car charger. We are heading towards EVs, so that is one less thing to worry about. Gas Vs ASHP. Assuming the plumbing is designed correctly for both, and connecting to the existing supply is cheap, it don't matter. I would opt for ASHP and not worry about gas at all.

Similar here, but at my mother's care home. But I did have this view earlier.

Tried to pick an argument with me when I was in agreement once.

Was it more of a case of Jack saying something ambiguous, and the rest of us thinking he is trying to take a swipe. Would not be the first time it has happened.

Make a valued contribution.

If it is between the leaves, then no. Loose one bit and rotate 90⁰.

I would think if I had PV there would currently be days when I literally import nothing at the moment.

I saw it as agreement that Craig is helpful, as us ETC. No more or less. No point scaring off a new member. We can do that later.

How do you heat hot water?
