This is always a problem with technology. I used to lecture in IT, and often met students that had a friend or relative that 'knew everything about computers', then then asked me how to fix something. That incident with the DC isolator was actually caused by the module fitter adding an extra couple of modules, 'to do the customer a favour'. Still think the sparky should have checked the numbers there first. Bet he does now.

Just don't use the DC isolator to disconnect the system when it is running. Switch of the AC side first. Ask my old electrician what happens. Told the customer it was some 'dust on the contacts'.

Life gets better and better.

is this about fitting really, or

Good spot. I have bought one. £21 with delivery. Next time I leave my shed light on, I will only be burning 40W rather than 125W.

Power delivery will be almost linear, the power needed will not i.e a smokey woodburner and a window open. But I think if you divide a heating curve by an equation of a strait line, where C is the offset, you get close enough to a straight line. Probably more problematic in a small house than a large one. Seems odd for the price of a sensor not to have at least 1 roomstat, then a fully automatic system can easily self learn.

There will be weed seeds in the new top soil, and some will blow in as the grass is growing. Also, if you put a weed control comer down, you cannot easily plants some early flowering bulbs.

I spell most words wrong. Why I hate English as a language. BSL is much more sensible.

Chips can be filled with coloured car body filler. Scratches tend to just vanish with age, and bird shit.

Takes a few thousand years for a body to fossilise in the right conditions. How long do you want them to last.

Who said that?

The same brickies that know nothing about airtightness, and usually get the window openings wrong. Quite impressed with @pocster's solution, quick and easy, and he had the rebar kicking about (cause he ain't got a clue how to use a tape measure yet, the final coping stone won't fit).

I have noticed over the last few months that I am forgetting trivial things. Nothing major. Forgot how to do the ⁰ sign on my PC the other day, and I must type that a few thousand times a year. Alt + 248 if I remember correctly. Forgetting to make tea would be unforgivable and would trigger immediate medical intervention, forgetting the kettle type is trivial.

Just seen this label on the lead. Seems only suitable for normal people.

No, but my Sister liked to buy things from Argos. Has Uccello kettle on the side and eBay will take 55 of your English Pounds for one. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/194809657979

Man you goes to bed with problem, wakes up with solution on belly.

You sure

If you really want to be a local Knob, then a string of old, used car batteries. Just go to the local council estate, should get all you need.

I wear a Dutch Cap when I am there.

Can you drill 3 hole, making a triangle. Then put plugs and screws in. Adjust with your level, slop some puddin all over, drop on the capping. Wiggle about until they hit the screws.

Yes, today us good. Easy 300 mile drive, coffee in Bourton on the Water, arrived at 11:30 and my mother is trotting about. So popped up half the scaffold tower, sanded soffit and fascia, now putting on 1st coat of woodstain. A very good day.

Every bulb in my house is LED. 3W, why I have so much baseload at zero. Takes the meter 20 minutes to realise a light is on.

Called 'integral skin'. Similar chemistry to those black, foam armrest on office chairs and your car steering wheel. Generally if you cut it, it absorbs water, so you will loose some of the airtightness.
