  1. Whenever I see an UVC installed, I am so happy that I have a really simple vented cylinder.
  2. FA, builders like vegetables.
  3. 700 quid. Could only afford to put Lidl pies in it. I can get 100 donner kebabs for that.
  4. I think these cleaners are usually acetone. Not really the stuff to clean PU with. Get some dichloromethane. Oh hang on, been mentioning it for years and no one has ever (expletive deleted)ing bothered.
  5. You have plenty of time to build a new one, this thread could go on for years.
  6. Good move, and as you say, perfectly fine. My shower is 11 lt/min, it is lovely and guest say it is better than most.
  7. Cutting out notches, sanding, general shaping. I use mine instead of the jigsaw now.
  8. A large wetroom then.
  9. 6 year old boy?
  10. Not down here. There are thousands of you. 1. Williams - 5,796 While famous examples of people with the Williams surname lie elsewhere from Cornwall, including sports stars such as Serena and Venus Williams or Formula One icon Frank Williams and the eponymous Williams F1 team, Williams is actually Cornwall’s most common surname with 5,796 people with it as a surname. 2. Smith - 4,908 No sign of the Poldark’s so far, although it’s further proof that the name Smith gets everywhere. Although Mr and Mrs Smith might not be as common as Mr and Mrs Williams on this side of the Tamar, there’s still a lot of them - 4,908 of them, in fact. 3. Thomas - 3,795 At number three in the list is the surname Thomas. A fair way behind the Williams and Jones, it’s still a very popular surname with 3,795 Thomas’ across our fair lands. 4. Jones - 3,568 Some people see Wales as Cornwall’s kindred spirit, not least when it comes to history and identity. It seems it goes as far as meeting the Jones’ too. 3Maybe at some point, some of them escaped over the Severn for their lunchtime pasty, although there’s a lot less Jones here than in Wales, where it’s by far the most popular surname with 170,633 Jones’.
  11. It probably isn't. We are all individuals, just like everyone else. Not really about designing what is in effect and off grid system, what I think you are trying to do is mimic the reliability and availability of the National Grid. That is probably not the best way to look at the problem. Demand management is the cheapest and most effective option.
  12. Girls or boys? Become the master of the house. Why just slightly?
  13. Just a couple of things before you start spending money on an architect (wasting money really). Will your access comply with the highways agency rules? Can you discharge waste water affordably? Get the basics sorted before thinking about anything else. And any environmental conditions. Bats, newts and some flowers can (expletive deleted) a project at the start.
  14. Turn of geolocation.
  15. Just go out and buy one. And a multitool. Save yourself anguish, pain and grief. Get a small angle grinder while you are at it. Some large G Clamps and a little long straight edge.
  16. Tragically, not 100 yards from where that picture was taken (in the news article) a school kid got runover and killed this year. That same road was also the third most polluted road in the UK a few years back.
  17. From the driver's seat of their Rangerovers and Model Xs. I thought a new car had the number 58 on the plate, till I started to go to Bucks again.
  18. If you did not have PV, I bet you would charge it at night on some short lived Octopus tariff. A reasonable EV will use about 0.25 kWh/mile. My car, running about, does about 0.8 kWh/mile. Cheap night electricity is between 5 and 15p/kWh, let's call it 10p. Diesel is around 16p/kWh. So 2.5pmile against 13p/mile. Going to be hard to beat that kind of price difference. It does depend on how many mile you travel a year. I do lots, others very little.
  19. Can you replace that with a habitable one? Old static vans goes for scrap value quite often, especially down here. Anything that gets caravans out of Cornwall is a good move.
  20. Maybe. Have you a time series of your current energy usage? If you know how much energy you use, and when you use it, you can work out the best compromises. As you have EVs, you already have 100+ of storage, pump it all into them, going to work out cheaper than the alternatives.
  21. Some MDF tends to sag more than others. It is why I split my shelves up into two blocks. Originally they were twice as long.
