Bit bored this morning, so thought I would look up about domestic legionella infection risk. First line 'very uncommon' https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/635817/Investigating_Legionella_household_settings.pdf Seems your hosepipe is a risk as well. As is the screenwasher on your car. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/05/140518164421.htm Here are the numbers for the UK. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/latest-legionnaires-disease-data-published-for-england-and-wales

Not a bargain, not even bought from them, just wanted to bookmark the site as they have an excellent range of adhesives. https://www.gluesdirect.co.uk/catalog/index.php Including D4 PVA. I was actually looking for this stuff https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/175248623735 Used it in the past and works a treat.

So on balance, a good experience. Why is the building trade so dreadful?

Is that like Palm Sunday.

Seems most advice for these Aqualisa us to turn it off and on again. Shall do they I the morning when my mother is asleep, and not watching murders in Midsomer (filmed locally). The blue light is doing a short, then medium and then two long flashes. Or a long then short, then medium then long again. Can't find anything on Google about flash codes.

No, still flashing after turning the only MCB that says Hot Water.

@joe90 @Radian @ProDave I shall go looking for a switch, or something in the consumer unit. No idea if it limits the temperature, hardly used this shower. Not a house I have been in much, until recently.

@joe90 Yes, all the rest works, even the similar shower in the next room. I have a distant memory that it has done this before. Almost as if something has got in the pipe and blocked it. Odd thing is, can't turn it off.

The shower worked fine this morning. After a day if painting, I went to use it. Pressed external button, water flowed, but did not heat up (combi boiler). Then the water stopped. Blue light is still flashing. Tried sucking in the pipe, nothing seems to be moving. VID_20220508_184223519.mp4

That is rough. Taking a guess that they have never fitted it before. Is that something you can check out? Plan for the worse, hope for the best.

Welcome. I am intrigued to know what a 'property developer' actually is. Seems to cover everything from someone renting out a house, to a large corporation building 1000+new homes. As far as I can see, at the lower end, it tends to be chancers. So why not go and work for a property developer for a year or two, see what it is all about.

About 2000 kg.

Not late. But at my mother's now.

Not when it is the last firetruck from hell.

Pick that.

Does anyone know how quickly a BMS reacts to a burst of PV power. Seem to remember someone mentioning there system was still exporting because the battery did not turn off the instant the load was removed i.e. it saw the grid as a load. Wonder if it has the same time delay to a charge.

The head looks level. Short night for me, alarm set for 4am.

I would use a decent rule, not the ruler in the picture (that is one I had at school, so probably 50 years old now). Accumulative error is a problem, but this is for a house, not precision engineering. If you fit, say that curtain rail dead level, it would show that the ceiling isn't, or the windows. Really just a case of creating a datum and working from that as best you can.

Maybe. But if I wanted to easily set up a new level without moving the laser, below is what I do. Just measure a distance and displace it to the left or the right.

You can just put one mark on the wall at the height you want, set the laser up as close to it as you easily can. Measure the distance from the laser line and the mark and the measured height difference, a distance away. Then join the two marks.

My best has been 73 MPG, think that is 3.9 lt/100km. Takes forever to get places though. So about 38 kWh/100km I filed up today at £1.724/litre, so £6.72/100km or 11p/mile. 300 miles journey in the morning. If an EV uses 300Wh/mile and electricity is costing 30p/kWh, costs 10p/mile. 7.5p/mile at 15 kWh/100km. So at todays prices, not much different. Now I know someone that has just traded their 3 year old Jaguar iPace in for a Ford Mach-E. The jag, which had only been charged on a granny lead, had lost about 40 miles of range (220 to 180 miles, can't get to Exeter and back in it). Now I have no idea if this is normal, or they were unlucky, may heavy footed (or even if they worked it out correctly), does seem a high price to pay though.

I bought one, was even less I seem to remember. Levelled up a shelf and large mirror with it, was great. Next project is some moveable shelves under the stairs.

Unlike @joe90's home. Consider filling the roof with integrated PV. WIth careful choice of module sizes, and no hips, you can get a lot if kWs on. Then connect up as needed. It is expensive to do it afterwards. If you are having a room in the roof, consider not having any windows on the PV side. That way you have no shading, less overheating and enough natural light half the year. North facing windows give a nice light.

Not just the total amount, it is how the power is delivered. If evenings are just a light or two and a TV. Hardly worth getting £3k of storage for a 100W load.
