What building regs apply to a wooden garage,?
SteamyTea replied to joe90's topic in Garages & Workshops
That long? In mathematics there is a whole field called Set Theory. You seem to be after the set that includes buildings, wood, foundations, unpleasant weather, value for money, warm. I am sure a Venn Diagram can be drawn up. -

This is all you need, an app. And lots of babies from different mothers. https://www.calculator.net/height-calculator.html -
A Lift (as opposed to a Stair Lift)
SteamyTea replied to patp's topic in General Self Build & DIY Discussion
Missed that bit. Many local authorities have there own experts. Place called Tremorvah is Cornwall's. Slight disclaimer, I worked there one summer. -

My Father had a stair lift fitter. Have shinned myself on it many times. Horrible things, and noisy, especially in a power cut. Probably cheaper to make a shower room and lavatory down stairs and then find room for a bedroom. -

I would like to get that, so send it to me. Can tell them I have an open fire. -

Worth checking, may be as simple as a loose wire. Wasn't me. But worth looking at, probably not that complicated once the lid is off. I do seem to remember that the early ones had problems with them, and the boards they were connected to.

So what is a Social Housing Manager?
SteamyTea replied to SteamyTea's topic in Environmental Building Politics
So it is not going to affect small time landlords? -
Is it someone that rents a home out to an unemployed person, or do they have to manage several homes. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/social-housing-managers-must-be-qualified-under-new-laws-to-protect-residents

Yes, and it cost us a fortune when they decided to heat the Jubilee Pool with geothermal energy. They still claim it is, but I had a heat pump. May as well have fitted a WSHP as all the plumbing is already there. I would have to look at my old text books, but seem to remember that radioactive decay gives out very little energy, on average. Something like 60 to 100 mW/m² at the Earth's surface. Solar is 250W/m² on average. So all but a tiny fraction of a percent is solar energy in a domestic geothermal installation. Like hydrogen in the universe, there is a lot of radioactive decay in the Earth. Just that nearly all of it is not accessible.

Not something as simple as a tripped MCB?

Do you know what he would be doing now, if he was still alive? Scratching his way out of a grave.

Mine have been cancelled.

Feck, where was he when I got our flat roof GRP'd? Don't know, may have been in Weymouth.

That has to be sorted first. Then look and deal with the fraudsters.
