  1. Thermal Conductivity k or λ = W.m-1.K-1 To convert to R-Value, divide thickness [L] by λ R-Value = m2.K.W-1 Take the reciprocal to get the U-Value U-Value = W.m-2.K-1 So k = 0.042 L = 0.15 [m] R = 0.15 / 0.042 R = 3.57 m2.K.W-1 U = 1 / 3.57 U = 0.28 W.m-2.K-1
  2. That is us down here.
  3. What tall, blond/e, blue eyed, strong and very drunk.
  4. What irritating little farts
  5. Ready market for that down here. They will need to get the webbing right.
  6. Ah the other place. Many if us are in both sites.
  7. Had to look that word up.
  8. Morning Did you have a decent thermal model done of your house? There is not much to tweak with PV, but you can divert the power to water storage fairly easily. ASHP can be reconfigured quite a bit depending on model.
  9. Total at rest. The temperature got to 18.1 by 9 PM. Shame the outside temperature sensor has stopped working (again), but it was not cold. I usually turn my heating on when the mean daily temperature goes below 10°C. If people eat 2000 kCal a day, that is 2.3 kWh, a professional cyclist will eat 5000 kCal a day, 5.8 kWh. Can see why they are all sweaty.
  10. That youtube video was more fun than watching a murder or two on Endeavour.
  11. No, just dry and flaking.
  12. Yes. That was it. Think I have one in my apprenticeship toolbox that moves around with me, but never gets opened. It is in the loft with my portrait painting.
  13. Just to misquote The Pussycat Dolls. These pictures are an hour and ten minutes apart. First one was after 5 days away with no heating on. Just my hot bod warming the place up.
  14. I am sure there is a strange looking file called a rifling file, kind of pointed, 3 side and curved at the end.
  15. That makes the roof important. Also makes the design simpler.
  16. It is nearly New Years Eve, not 1st April.
  17. https://www.natchezss.com/wheeler-engineering-professional-gunsmith-file-set.html https://www.forbes.com/sites/andygreenberg/2013/05/14/diy-firearms-makers-already-replicating-and-remixing-the-3d-printed-gun-photos/
  18. You are right. Some of us on here have already done the easy savings. The general population is entirely different. As a slightly different example, because I am driving 600 extra miles every week, I have decided to put my 40 year old automotive engineering skills to some practical use. If I drive normally on the A30, M5, M4 and A34, then A40, I get about 45 MPG. If I potter along and add an extra hour and a half to the journey, I can get 70 MPG. Now I appreciate this is not a house, but expecting a little less can save a decent amount (about 40 quid a trip). My biggest energy saving device is the Poundland washing line.
  19. That is mixing up media and craft skills with artistic skills, and neither are engineering, which house designing is. Many artistic painters work from photographs. That does not make them IT specialists.
  20. Would these be the wankers that do initial sketches with pencils. And that is only because swan feather quills are harder to come by.
  21. Most people could easily cut usage by 30%. Long term historic prices have been 5% of median household income.
  22. Been told that they require a mobile phone signal for data transfer. Also been told that the E7 radio signal is being turned off in March, but probably won't happen 'because of COVID'. EDF arranged to change my meter, 2 years ago, they failed to turn up. Still waiting for a new date. Get really excited when they send emails about it. But they are just round robbin ones telling me that all my power will be free, and I get to use the chairman's daughter. At 24p and 14p a kWh, I would be round like a shot fitting them.
  23. A new ST panel in the making Did you download that from the dark web, looks like a gun.
  24. Don't forget J and K
  25. Anyone done a similar test on solid state relays? Print this out and keep in back pocket.
