Will be loads of different ones, only done to piss you off.

Get it wrong and you will be staying in Hilbert's Grand Hotel.

Did Ian drill into his rebar one time, causing some consternation, or was it constipation, maybe that was the trouser leg incident.

I would, just because they are overpaid (expletive deleted).

Customers stop complaining.

Lego house. https://www.arch2o.com/worlds-first-lego-house

Well it will take your mind of Mishal.

How you you hold it in place and keep it perpendicular to the wall? You could screw it to a flat bit of ply and put a could of levels on that, then see how level it is, then drill holes in the ply and screw it to the wall. Take a video of it when you first try it out.

But it keeps it human. Try asking ChatGPT to come over and drill your holes. It will probably be an eyewatering experience.

Or want to hear more like.

@pocster is the man to do the correctional procedure there. What a summer.

Opinion is being told you are wrong, without being offered an alternative. Asking on here is just being told you are wrong, but with 100 alternatives, all of which are wrong. I don't share failure, especially yours, I just giggle about it.

All the things that are made from paper and ink. @ToughButterCup stopped posting up what his professional fees and indemnity policies were costing him when I pointed out they had reach the price of my house.

I did not mention she is very bright. And when she had the longer hair, very cute. Now what else can I say to make your day.

Forgot to mention that she is very approachable and easy to chat to. An all round good egg.

Are you thinking of SPONS https://www.routledge.com/Spons-Architects-and-Builders-Price-Book-2023/ECOM/p/book/9781032331737 180 quid may seem a lot, but if your build is costing £2000/m2, it is the same cost as a very small wastepaper bin.

I am (expletive deleted)ing brilliant. Last night I fell asleep watching this. Tim Hunkin is looking old, but still dresses the same. Not watched this one yet, about drilling holes.

Won't we be moving to individually controlled loads, managed via a smart meter? So you will wake up to a cold house, with no hot water and your car battery flat.

That was the right thing to do. It may add some time now, but the beam may be in place for 100 years.

As @JohnMo says, fit a Willis. I think you mean thermosyphoning rather than gravity, which generally relies on large diameter pipework. As a general rule, you put a PV powered element low down in the cylinder, that way, even when there is not enough PV to fill the cylinder, you at least get something. That can help offset gas usage. I think you can get extra long immersion elements, that one is a yard long, to overcome the problem, others may know better. Worth noting that the temperature in a cylinder is a variable gradient, once settled, after heating, it is not stratified, which implies that there are layers at a fixed height and a fixed temperature. Generally the base is close to room temperature and the top is higher, sometimes higher than the thermostat set point. Secondary point is that DHW needs to be hot, no one wants a luke warm shower or bath.

FFS, was it drawn by a toddler. Other stuff here https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/life/house-home/ambitious-family-home-named-nis-building-of-the-year-2023/726998870.html The flower pots are wonky.

Was he employed by the Architect? That should be the person who picks up this sort of nonsense. I am pretty short, but 1.9m is only 0.2m above my head.

To make it easy, a short list here may be helpful to others. And don't forget to mention the bracing.

Ask at the university to borrow a thermal imaging camera. Alternatively, get a Frenchman to look at it, any Frenchman will do. They will all shrug and kaught the same, then say 'wait until the cheese goes mouldy'.
