I still use cubic centimetres per pound when mixing resin.

Tesla Model 3 is between 1611 kg to 1847 kg. A Toyota Mirai is between 1920 kg and 1950 kg. So hydrogen is not always lighter. Just for comparison, my Ford C-Max is 1527 kg.

We should stop using the old imperial measurements. And all houses for sale should state the plot size, and the building/s footprint size. Then half the confusion about price/m² would just vanish. If we did state things as they are, then we would not have left the EU, or thought that gargling with warm water would stop COVID-19. I often wonder why people are so reluctant to state basic information.

I had a 3 bed house, was identical, in area, volume and shape to the mirror image one, which had 2 beds. So quoting number of bedrooms, bathrooms etc, us not a good indicator of building cost.

You could ask a plumber to put in an automatic air bleeder. I don't know enough about different pumps, but others do. Put up the make and model, then the plumbers can see if it is any good.

Good. So it may well just have been in need of a little tickling.

Probably not. It may have heated up a little quicker.

Strange readings and behaviour
SteamyTea replied to gc100's topic in Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR)
Path of least resistance maybe. -
Apart from Christmas week, when I had an Aussie staying, so have I. But that is not unusual down here.

In other more positive news - Fingerprint Sensor

Does it work after a hot bath (washerwoman's fingers). Or after sanding the woodwork. -
Give it a few hours to warm up the cold concrete.

I zoomed in and seems to be about 40°C (bottom) and 35°C (top). Looked at second set of pictures , 35 and 32

Easy enough to knock up a prototype and see what it performs like. Just get a white plastic bag to act as a diffuser.

Isn't that like saying because VW cheated on the emissions, all diesel vehicles data is wrong. We could go around in the circles here, but I have to do and do my CPD now, so that is going to waste some time, that I will never get back.

Recommend Source for pv equipment ?
SteamyTea replied to Barryscotland's topic in Photovoltaics (PV)
I think GSE make a system in conjunction with Velux. A few people on here have used the GSE system and not heard any complaints. Most PV modules will come from China, and quite often 'EU and USA' branded products are made there. We used to supply Axitec modules (German), but the rep told us that they are produced globally. I think this is stated on the companies website. -
From: Model for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of buildings "Buildings are designed for long life spans. According to the Eurocode 1990 [41], the structural system of a building is designed for a period of 50 years, the design working life. Nevertheless, with proper maintenance and with the ability to accommodate changes in technical and functional requirements, buildings can last much longer than the design working life, sometimes even centuries" So where does your 25 years come from?

LG Therma V mono block Air Source Heat Pump
SteamyTea replied to ProDave's topic in Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP)
Half term week and being servicing holiday makers. Strange as they are not meant to be be here, but shall take their cash. And you need to select the name from the @ list to send a notification. So you wanted to know about how historical records can be used to control temperature. Basically it looks at the time that the system runs, and at what temperature it runs up to. Then using a combination of convergence and divergence, a system can 'learn' what is required. -
Your statement is not really comparing a self builder's choices, more to do with financing mass building.

No-concrete foundations for a timber framed building
SteamyTea replied to Carol L's topic in Foundations
Any reason for this?
