Same as minicab drivers. They tend to be slightly lower than ecologists. (many a long hour having to spend a year at university with conservationists and ecologists. Environmentalists are a different breed, much more general)

I have got rid of most of my books. On Line resources are so good these days, they just seem a waste of space. Charity shops are good for books, and I have hours of fun mixing them up to make inappropriate words from the titles. Shall see if I can make 'Joy of Gardening'.

So two up from minicab/deliveroo drivers.

We had AirCo units in all the company housing. A big brown box though the wall, water dropped out the back. Two heat exchangers in them. The cold side was 'outside' to dehumidify, then another 'inside' for temperature control. Fan and compressor wedged between them. Good units, only had one go wrong in 4 years, sounded like an elephant with hiccups. I suspect the name AirCo was a local rebranding, for the French and Dutch West Indies, of someone else's unit, probably Carrier.

Not the A/C units I had back home in the West Indies. I think it really depends what you want, and terminology differs. From my understanding A/C conditions the air i.e. controls humidity, temperature and replacement. The units sold in the UK are after just coolers and heaters, they don't change the air, so the AH stays the same, with the RH varying with temperature. Fitting cooling and heating to MVHR is, in my understanding, air conditioning. If it shifts enough volume is another matter.

Arrange for someone else. They will probably take it down.

I would be wary of calling my bitch weak. Good at being spread out though.

Any basic Physics book. And https://www.amazon.co.uk/Why-Buildings-Fall-Down-Structures/dp/039331152X

I am typing this with my left hand.

Steady on chap, some of us have not had breakfast yet.

I got a cheap scaffold tower. Bloody Brilliant it is.

I don't get this. Why is the This Year greater than the Lifetime?

But at a CoP of not much more than 1 for a lot of the year. I have an ordinary, vented, 200lt, E7 cylinder. This year, for the first time, I am only heating the top third. The temperature is higher, but the volume less, saving at least a kWh a day. Secondary timer cost me less than 20 quid, so the experiment has already paid off the investment.

August Bank Holiday, 1976.

Just been out to the car and it is raining here, still warm though.

That would increase heating in summer, we have more hours of daylight than that. That will take some explaining for a homogenous product like basic insulation materials. I doubt there are any, and then you have the window to surface area and the volume to surface area to consider. Cough, cough. You are talking about thermal inertia. If you want to reduce the solar radiation absorbed by your roof, stick some PV on it, that will convert about 18% of the energy into electricity. You can use that to run some A/C. You could cover your roof with tin foil, on the outside, that is effective. Or wait for a cloudy day to come along.

Or a wank

Is Puce really a colour?

Ain't that what I said a while back? Apart from the metering displays showing odd things, I suspect it is working fine. What it does show is that battery storage is probably best left up to the DNOs and generation companies, they can put in, and monitor, systems that do as they are told. Relying on last weeks double glazing salesman to make a claim about the viability of low voltage, mixed, domestic storage systems, is probably not a wise one.

Like the mighty redwood, just one of nature's aristocrats. Just like Tony Hancock in the Blood Donor.

That, and 2 of my 3 testicles.

0.54/100k dying in a fire in France. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/fire-death-rates 5.1/100k being killed in a road related incident. https://ourworldindata.org/search?q=transport+death+rate There are much bigger worries than the effects of off gassing and fire. In France, heat is more likely to kill you, as is a murderer.

That is down to how well you make the model. This was made with polystyrene and emulsion paint. Don't use PIR, not so easy to disolve. (I made it)

I think it depends on the cultivar. Scotch beans will probably grown to a yard long, taste fine after a weeks boiling.

I need to crop mine tomorrow.
