Minerals and vegetables as well

Yes, I have a new job for him, lighthouse keeper at Noup Head.

A drawing/pictures may be useful then a creative solution may magic itself up.

The thicker the better. Are you going to be installing UFH as well?

Is this your biggest problem in choosing a mounting system?

I have been pondering getting an ASHP for 18 years now. Had at least that number of sexual partners, they are all hopeless blowtorch and paintbrush.

Thanks

I wish the Gulf Stream would stop, cloudy this morning. Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation is the posh term. Clouds are interesting as we think of them as cooling the UK, they cool between the tropics more, and we would be in real trouble if there was less of them.

Not strictly true as in the UK, which is in an odd location, we are more affected by sea surface temperatures and wind direction. The reason that solar irradiation is reduced is because the sun's photons have to pass though a longer path through the atmosphere due to the tilt of the Earth, and they then hit the land/ocean at an oblique angle, which, in effect, spreads the power out over a larger area. Cloud cover also makes a huge difference, clouds can form in a number of ways, but are usually a combination of tempratre,, air pressure and humidity (why exceptionally warm oceans can cause more clouds and rain at higher latitudes). The solar constant, 1.361 kW.m-2 does not vary much (actually goes up slightly during the Norther Hemisphere winter, and is not a constant in the true scientific term, just an average, adjusted to 1 AU). This is why having a steep angle on the roof can be useful for winter PV production.

Right. Don't suppose you have the thermal bridging mitigation details to hand.

Is it block and beam your foundation?

If it was as good, for the overall thickness, then everyone would be using it.

Which do you punch out, the bigger/taller one, or the smaller one. Or is it done in leaf size.

Another way to look at it is how much it costs to borrow. At 10%pa, the interest is £200 a year. 55p a day. But we currently have a bank rate of 1%. Not had a mortgage for over 20 years, but the rate is probably 3%.

My phone had an update the other day, it now seems to randomly put any word in it feels like it. There must be something special in your dirt.

Welcome. Used to live I. Herts, there are some nice parts.

I got 12 inches, but don't use it as a rule. There must be something special in to our dirt.

Can see where this is going. I like a growler.

Got this at my local Lidl. 15 quid. Will do for the loft. 18 W.

I have heard of it, never tried.

Is mine bigger than yours.

While I have a distrust of corporate banking (actually more a lack of understanding) they do take a risk. That risk has to be priced in. Probably not significantly, but take the energy producers who have invested in Russian energy, and are now pulling out of Russia. They are loosing billions. But that is also why I don't have a problem with the French paying to build a power station on the UK mainland. Not as if they can take it away.

(expletive deleted)ing hard work some days ain't it.

Not always as it is to do with marginal costs. If Ford made 2 cars, and 2 cars only, they would cost hundreds of millions each, if they make a million, that development cost comes down to about 1000 per vehicle, but if they have to build a new factory to build the 1000001 car in, the unit cost of that car is probably back up into the 100s of millions. There is a point where the right number of products, and at the right price, is reached. This optimum pricing point can vary during a products lifecycle as there is a 'learning curve' associated with it. Energy prices are now currently having the learning curve disrupted, there are no real winners in the medium term, regardless of one or two quarter profit figures. I think as @ProDave said, energy is really still quite cheap. 1 kWh is the ability to move 1 tonne, 1 meter, every second, for an hour. Not many of us would do that for 30p. MInimum wage is almost a tenner an hour now.
