Can you tell me about brushed/rubbed wood finishes?
SteamyTea replied to Adsibob's topic in General Joinery
I think you are talking about burnished, not rubbed. Best get some samples made up and play with the ones you like. -
How does your garden grow?
SteamyTea replied to recoveringbuilder's topic in Landscaping, Decking & Patios
Probably still attached to the nether regions of a ram. When they are the colour of tartan, it is time to cut them off. -
Welcome from Kernow We are at the end of the 1990s down here, you still in the early 1980s up there? Re MVHR, get your place air tested, no point doing anything until you know how leaky it is.

What energy rating is your HW cylinder?
SteamyTea replied to Adsibob's topic in Boilers & Hot Water Tanks
If people bothered to measure their DHW usage, all the guesswork and opinions would vanish. Shame people don't do the simple things. -
Like my first house. I hated the breakfast bar, they are really just a low shelf. A small kitchen does give you some idea what it is like to work in a commercial one.

Grundfos UPS2 speed selector not working

I always feel better when I replace a suspected broken part for a new one, and the original problem goes away. -
Welcome. My experience of working in the USA was you can easily buy a truck full of something, but not a single tin of it. Is there a reason for using Porotherm?

Do you have planning permission for that size array? Why indeed. Most 'high temperature' HPs are not very efficient at the top end. It is because you have already made up your mind and have not listened to counter arguements and real world experience of the SA. -

What energy rating is your HW cylinder?
SteamyTea replied to Adsibob's topic in Boilers & Hot Water Tanks
Shown this before. This is the temperatures logged on my E7 cylinder last year. The mean temperature differences (top of tank) are 4°C, but if taking just the times minimal water is drawn off (10AM to 1 AM next day), the standing losses is 3°C over 15 hours, that is 0.2°/hour. There is nothing special about my installation other than the cupboard it is kept in is stuffed full of insulation and I limit the charging times to 3 hours. So, I would not be happy with that sort of unnecessary losses. -

No, bought it all, mixed it all, ate it all. Not often I have a day off, but made a new dish to sell. -

I had a cheesecake the other day, mixed chopped up raw finger chillies, then a few grapes and some caramel sauce. I was happy, and I did not die.
