  1. Are the walls the same construction? May be a problem with them, rather than the paint i.e. damp and cold.
  2. Yes. You spent some of it on knowing the difference between power and energy. Shame the rest of the comments have the two mixed up. If the difference was learnt, and understood. There would be no need to ask this question. It is not being picky about units. It is fundamental to the problem and answers the question.
  3. They are French Fries.
  4. Between 15 and 60 ACH, anb the air leaving is not at 22⁰C like a house. Last night we were at a very pleasant 30⁰C. In a month, probably high 40s.
  5. Last weeks news, this weeks chip wrapper.
  6. I am always amazed how little fat there is in our extraction system. The baffles on the ranges seem to do their job, even though they seem very basic in design and are probably not really designed, more guessed at. We probably though away 40 MWh of energy a night though the extractor.
  7. It is always worth checking a products name. From now on I shall call it the kiddy findler. Le Pedo, my arse.
  8. Not sure that is right. Supermarkets sell milk, they often buy it in cheaper than the direct manufacturing/processing cost of the producer.
  9. Are you claiming that Degree level education follows the normal market supply and demand curve?
  10. If you bridge over the ground stump/root combo with a bit of rebarred concrete, that would support most things. I think it is what they used to do to cap mineshafts down here. Now they put a metal cage over them. Then send the dogs down. https://www.cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-news/dogs-rescued-after-falling-porkellis-8123356.amp
  11. Radon is a large atom, number 86, the outer electrons are not held very tight to the nucleus, and that is where the problem is, in part. Half of it will decay every 4 days. So best no chance of holes or splits in the barrier.
  12. Really https://www.gov.uk/contaminated-land
  13. I have a boat I can sell you, or to your builder.
  14. Have you copied my autocorrect? I never found glue sniffing much fun.
  15. I have diverticulitis, all I want is a smooth pipe.
  16. Not the best way to describe a temperature gradient. Think it took about an hour for my cylinder to 'settle down' after heating.
  17. Do you still have to improve the thermal performance of the whole property when you add an extension? I had a Grade 2 listed place in Weymouth 30 years ago. Never again, unless I get first prize in the Euro lottery. They seem to list any old common shit now.
  18. I am not sure we should be expecting kids to choose future employment at 13 years of age. At least in the public school system you have 3 choices. Family Business Forces Prison Not always in that order.
  19. Every place I have ever lived in that had plastered solid walls, all had cracks in them. Some had bulging plaster. So I would not think the long term airtightness is going to be brilliant. But no need to worry, people will quote the ACH figures from the testing date.
  20. When did that change? When I did my PGCE one needed a degree, though the Cert. Ed was still an option. The PGCE has now been renamed to Master I am told (level 5). Though I am a bit out of touch with the industry now.
