Going to be the the simplest way. I was involved with a project that had optimisers. Spent a day there trying to get them to register properly. Then got told that they had not been logged, so no one knew what was were.

Where we are buying a lot of our gas from now, so probably very excited. Excited does not have to mean happy. Though I would rather sell ten times as much of a penny product for 6p, than a quarter of that for 15p. Oil and Gas production is a marginal returns on capital investment business, not the same model as selling vegetables from the corner shop.

I have a BSc in Environmental Science, would that qualify me to be in the wrong job, or to say that 'to the best of my knowledge' there is no XYZ. My knowledge of wild life is very limited.

Welcome. As soon as you move in, make sure the is no protected flora or fauna, and if there is, discretely get rid of it.

Is there not any suitable structure nearby i.e. a tree or wall that you can attach a BB to. Not as if the little (expletive deleted)ers need a postcode to get thier Giro delivered to.

Except Sky News then.

Well there you go. Radio 4 has quite a lot of information about energy prices. Generally good.

It was on Radio 4.

So he says that his normal background levels are 5, but a josstick makes it 800, and the particulates hang around for two days. So did he not cook anything for two days? And the myth that any dead timber rots down to CO2. Sorry, the guy is a nob, just justifying his choices. Comparing city centre NOX and PM2.5s is not a fair comparison. I will trust the real scientists about this, not some bloke up north.

It is the size of the feet that is important. I would hope that wardrobe manufacturers has thought about point loads on their products. It s not often we hear about them piercing a floor after all.

Isn't that what MCS (or their agents) has to do.

How thick is it where a point load is?

How does that tell you the compression strength? There may be a casual correlation between compression strength and density, but timber is a strange beast as the Young's Modulus, which is what is important here, is orientation dependant.

Been hunting around the shed and I cannot find any OSB, except what is lining the shed, and I am not going to cut that up. So someone else will have to see if OSB crushed more than plywood.

As I said, it cannot be looked at in isolation. The airtightness on the inside is really about moisture migration mitigation. Then, in the UK, the 'layers' get less vapour tight, not vapour tight, no mention of airtight. This leads to a problem that people think that the VCL is all that is needed, if this was the case, then just hanging any old type of insulation on an exterior wall would solve high energy usage. So it must be pointed out that, as I mentioned here: Saying otherwise is giving bad advice.

It only has to comply with the MCS rules from my understanding. There are other rules as well, 1m from boundary, 0.6m³ in volume. Yes, that is true, but it is set up to help installers, not help customers. I think it has been confused with sales terminology.

Isn't it more a case of a Franchise. Set rules to stick to, but you, or the customer, can still choose to use you, or go to independent.

Not sure I agree there. You can make a room very airtight on the inside, but if you allow air to pass though the insulation layer, then the performance is reduced. Each element has to be dealt with in both isolation and as part of the whole.

You win, or is it comes second as I have commented.

I have a theory that the faster it goes off topic, the less interested people are.

Welcome. There is a few topics on data monitoring, and a couple on boiler data busses.

I drove though Hertfordshire in a Ford C-Max the other day. Almost got to Tring before it all went wrong.

It is a bit late at night to go out into the shed, but if I remember in the morning, and can find a bit of OSB, I shall pop it in the vice and see what happens.

Probably your easiest and safety option. Well not at your house.
