They need to find a way to reduce professional fees for non safety aspects. So if a council agrees that a plot of land can be built on, building should be able to start immediately, no pissing about with all the surveys and reports needed. The councils should be spending my money on that, the the individual house builder. We have local elections coming up here, chatted to one of the green people homing to get elected, he wants no holiday homes, only truly affordable homes. My prediction is he won't get voted in.

I would like to see the thermal modelling and the costings before agreeing to your statement. Building a house and building a large cold store are very different. Just as an example if the difference, a cold store may have 1000 tonnes of fruit, taking up 80% of the volume in it. Fruit is 90% water, which has an extremely high SHC.

Ask yourself how much you would want to be paid and how much work you would get done. A mate of mine is a production planner, he gets paid well for sitting at home all day. And as everyone knows, nothing goes to plan.

How large are your hands.

Not a real engineering term. Though, unlike 'thermal mass' you can put units to it. Look up thermal inertia. Or just divide heat capacity by conductivity.

No more galloping your maggot then.

You may have a problem as there could be air trapped between the pipes and the insulation. This will increase the thermal resistance, in effect, giving you less power delivery.

That implies that you had a 1.2 kW element in it. That is very small.

Gusty here already.

Yes, but it is at a lower temperature than what you want. There is also a difference if it is dry, damp or has flowing water in it. From https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/thermal-conductivity-d_429.html Ground or soil, very moist area 1.4 Ground or soil, moist area 1.0 Ground or soil, dry area 0.5 Ground or soil, very dry area 0.33

You TOR. It will make it hard to trace what you been looking at. You can make a TOR relay. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.instructables.com/Raspberry-Pi-Tor-relay/%3famp_page=true

Our maximum summer air temperatures are lower as well. This is because they are set by the sea surface temperature, which in winter are higher than ground temperatures. Why humans like to live by the coast and not up mountains.

Depends, if you were invited to the party or not.

Paint then black, and get black framed modules. I would have liked to have been at the meeting where someone suggested that natural aluminium frames was a good idea. I could have used my favourite letter word.

If he is an undischarged bankrupt, the receiver usually has control of his finances.

Does he have a string of bankruptcies behind him? He may just have been caught out by the last year's turmoil. Going bankrupt for 8 to 10k us pretty small fry, not the kind of thing a serial bankrupt does. Offer to pay in stages after the work is done, a take it or leave it offer. Explain that the financial risk has transferred from him to you. He should snack your hand off.

Angle grinder and a diamond disk. Cheap, quick and easy.

I go commando. "Wherever you may be, let them dangle free"

As I had to point out to my inconsiderate neighbour once, out of the 6 houses here, of us had our washing out to dry. There is a high energy cost to machine clothes drying. NBA Never Burn Anything.

Compost it. Or bury it. Shred it and take to local recycling centre. But don't set fire to it, that will just piss the neighbours off.

No idea. I bought two of these in 1986. They had similar tops with plastic clamp attachments. They cost 99 francs each. Strapped them to my bike and cycled home. Still using them.

Good job the driver was wearing shorts, he would have had a jobby in in socks all day.

Swap the clean burning gas for this natural alternative. Reuse, Recycled, Refuse. https://youtu.be/B-9O6GOystA

Perfect is the enemy of good

TL;DR But two things struck me, apart from the bollocks about fallen timber bring better burnt than add to the carbon store in the ground (wrongly called rotting). People tend to close curtains at night, so that can help energy losses. The big one though us that we need to reduce continuous energy usage, not only to save money, but to make implementing renewables easier and cheaper. The less we have to generate, the less we need to build. So decent windows, decent fitting curtains and leave trees to do what they do best.
