For a laugh, make it airtight as you can, then pressure test it. That would be interesting research.

Rehearse on your own, then we will bring the hearse.

Can't answer that directly, but my timber framed house has some small air vents at first floor level. Not sure where they vent to from outside as not had to lift floor boards. I assume they are there to help with moisture control, but not thought about it too much. But now, my idea of externally insulation the place is going to play on my mind, as they vents will vet covered over.

I had to emulsion about 50 picture frames (traditional St. Ives frames). The first batch went well, then a new pot of paint, same make and type. A few weeks later, they all cracked up, and oddly, double sided tape would not stick to them at all. I now use a different make and type, and don't seem to have a problem. Did you say you mixed paint up somewhere else and were it is cracking, is that the first part you painted?

We should start a new topic on this, most of us are middle aged. Then we can get a better look at @ToughButterCup falling down a ladder. I am sure I read that we can all go around and film the next time he does it.

Not allowed any more. You serious, thought that was only countries that began with an S.

Static load as opposed to 1/2 mass X Velocity squared. Lots of proper marine stuff is galvanised, not sure what it is like if in sea for decades.

Something like this. https://www.screwfix.com/p/schlegel-aq21-window-door-seal-white-15m/2822P?tc=UT5&ds_kid=92700058173289226&ds_rl=1244072&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjtqiw8H08AIVu2DmCh3IRADVEAQYAiABEgIes_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Or more like this. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303812809301

That will be the Redruth to Hayle section then. All the surfers turn off at Newquay, so traffic only does 15 MPH, cause they are all stoned.

Can't, have had shiny acrylic put in to replace my old misty lenses. Could get your name Lasered on them I suppose. Be a bit weird asking, but no different than you getting Banksy tattooing your arse. I heard that men drawing on men's behind is a Bristol thing.

The flow rates are in the regs. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/ventilation-approved-document-f Some HVAC info here. https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/amp/hvac-systems-t_23.html

Just this morning, I got my 2 new pairs of glasses. For the 4th time in a row they are not right. So next week I am going back in to see them to get it sorted. Every time they don't listen, I shall point to the Hearing Aid sign. Falling off a ladder very rarely results in a broken neck (which, when I was a lad, was always fatal, until I broke mine) as the saying goes. But it is a right of passage, talking of which, did you show your passage off again, cause it may not be considered an accident this time. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000wdgk (This one has a serious message)

Get a buffer thrown in with 3 grand cashback. Just teasing about the cashback, I don't know what this sort of install is worth.

Why not just take them from the A442. Or come and get the bent ones from the A30, it is holiday week, do many miles of it are now damaged. Put up a webcam, with sound recording, going to be riot what people speculate about it.

@pocster is only after £300k for it.

Disciplinary smacking would though.

As Bob Dylan sang. "Some men rob you with a fountain pen, didn't take long to find out, what he was talking about" Or something novel, that makes use of easy to get hold of materials and can be DIYed. I think builders, like many industries, like to make an easy job difficult. Simplify and add novelty. The large builders, who make the majority of 'boxes' that are so criticised on here, have not moved forward at all in 50 years or more. People still think that PVC double glazing is novel FFS. Think about how much money they saved not paying bills, and if you are naughty in prison, you get your food delivered to your table, that is better than we get, it just comes to the door.

Some of us do our best to lighten it up. Found the best way to learn, and teach, was to make light of difficult situations. Sometimes it can seem cruel. There have been a couple of people in the past, on previous sites (the old place and the other place) that have got in a right pickle, and then vanished. One of them lives near me and I saw her place most days, no work happen for months, but seems work has slowly started. I would call in, but think it now has new owners. The other person fell apart completely, a tragic story. Nice guy, technical education, but overwhelmed. I know my limitations in management, always thought it was the place to be. So set up my own business, because I was good at the technical side. Cost me my holiday home, car, relationship and all my so called friends, but two (and one of the (expletive deleted)ers died last month). Way to high a price to pay, so I take the attitude 'kill the baby at birth". Sorry, that was all about me. Over to you now.

Nothing wrong with selling the plot. You have done the sums, thought long and hard on it, and now taken the first step to a solution. But if you vanish from the forum I will miss you. My mother has lived in her house for 35 years, the garden was always her thing. It has hardly changed, when I discuss this with her, even now, she says 'in my mind it is many things, if I pick one design it will be wrong'. So she leaves it as is, and goes out to lunch a lot.

Band from three European cities, but only one country. That is a quiz question.

Ah, the demon drink, makes people do things they can regret.

Not my experience with my hot water. https://forum.buildhub.org.uk/uploads/monthly_2021_05/image.png.a202e32d89f5a9f2d49b7ef0a79302ab.png

Why do you think self build is appealing to get a house?

Just the lips and tongue. What we make pasties out of.

Means a 100 seagulls are about to steal the ice-cream. But only 1 gets it.
