  1. KWh. That works out at 0.208 kW
  2. Do you know what the room stat is actually turning off, or is that hidden deep in the LG controls?
  3. That is what I would expect. Still too high in my opinion, but not scary. The manufacturers rally need to be clear about standby and other parasitic loads.
  4. Welcome An interesting problem as you have already erected the frame. Will you loose too much height in the shed if you put 100mm of foam sheet on top of the frame? A bit of a left field idea would be to pull some plastic sheet under the structure, then pour in two part expanding PU foam.
  5. Here is a timber beam calculator. https://www.timberbeamcalculator.co.uk/en-gb/calculator/timber-beam/british-standards?new Work out what you already have, then look for a concrete one. https://www.naylor.co.uk/products/lintels/lintels-selector/
  6. Not for me either. But that is Devon for you, probably closed till Tuesday.
  7. There is a blast from the past.
  8. Not knowingly. I would walk out with the collection tray. About time I got my jacket buttons back.
  9. Something architects seem very reluctant to do. None of us like our ideas shredded to pieces.
  10. That is one way to win people over.
  11. Yes, Bourton on the Water. Usually stop there as you can park for half an hour outside the Londis. And they have a Costa coffee machine. So cheaper, and nicer, than most other coffee places. Queen's Bench needs recarving. It is a decade old now.
  12. Mine did. We had some big SW storms a few years back. Noticed a damp patch in the bedroom ceiling. Seems the wind had got under the loft insulation, then, when it had flopped down, had moved forward a little, just enough to allow it to wick up water. Easy fix, just pull in back 2 inches. Neighbour has the same problem, told him how to sort it, 4 years on and he is still complaining about the 'leaky roof', (expletive deleted)ing nob. I have tried, on two PCs to print your PDF off. Can't print it.
  13. Your slug. Reminds me of the quip about 50% of the population having legs.
  14. Is this for real. Can't see anything on Companies House about them. There is a David Lindsay Electrical Service, same name as the MD.
  15. My view this morning. Bit too much bunting for my liking.
  16. So less that half a gram per m² every year. I don't know how deadly these nitrates and phosphates are, but at a mean delivery of 1.3 mg a day, I would like to see some peer reviewed evidence that it is a real problem.
  17. Nicer falling onto a carpet than a road. Should have asked him to deliver it for free. Would have kept him busy, and 2 paces Infront of you all day.
  18. Not had a chance to read it yet, maybe after I have slept off the car journey and an early lunch.
  19. The UK has not been very good at managing small scale, district heating schemes. I think the cost of enforcing non payers is too high. Developers probably don't want to pay too much for a network upgrade. They are not very creative when it comes to buildings. They would struggle to find space for a 200 or 300lt cylinder. Anyway, customers would complain because they would not be getting all their power for nothing, all the time. So developers probably buy an existing solar or wind farm and offset credits.
  20. Worth knowing, reasonably well, about insulation and ventilation.
  21. Flasher
  22. Shall print it out when I get up country and have a good look though.
  23. Brilliant
