  1. Always useful, even if only used to fit an extra outside tap.
  2. "The Devil makes work for idle hands"
  3. I think there was a similar question on here a while back. Seem to remember that it was a case of running some ducts and terminating them in a suitable IP rated enclosure. May be worth contacting OpenReach and seeing what they say. People have found that the 'guys in the vans' are usually very helpful. Generally if you have approval before a rule change, you work to the older rules. There does seem to be a fair bit of paranoia about regulations since the Grenville disaster, which is probably a good thing. But with something like Part R, there is probably little difference as it is not 'safety critical' (except for fire alarm systems, but then if they rely on a cloud based system, they will become inherently useless).
  4. I take it you have downloaded Part R and digested it. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1119957/ADR1.pdf Just tell them you use 5G Mobile Data.
  5. Yes, that looks like it. No it won't, but could fit a though the wall dMVHR by it. I am quite tempted to buy one of those units, just how noisy it really is, is my only worry.
  6. 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.
  7. I thought "Wall Hung Mini" was a Chinese girl. There was someone on here that was fitting an internal ASHP that only required two largish holes through the wall. Can't for the life of me find the post now.
  8. This is all you need, an app. And lots of babies from different mothers. https://www.calculator.net/height-calculator.html
  9. Missed that bit. Many local authorities have there own experts. Place called Tremorvah is Cornwall's. Slight disclaimer, I worked there one summer.
  10. 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.
  11. I would like to get that, so send it to me. Can tell them I have an open fire.
  12. Same tape measure my Father had. Not sure if he ever knew I had taken in, sometime in the 1970s.
  13. 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.
  14. So it is not going to affect small time landlords?
  15. 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
  16. Is that why my tip is red? (doubt this post will be here in the morning)
  17. While waiting for the Archers to start.
  18. And probably British as she seems to be pear shaped. Just imagine if you waned a career in modelling, walking the catwalk with Naomi and Kate. Then you get a job for British Wool.
  19. 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.
  20. Piece of piss.
  21. Not something as simple as a tripped MCB?
  22. Do you know what he would be doing now, if he was still alive? Scratching his way out of a grave.
  23. Mine have been cancelled.
