Sent the special bitcoin to you already, have you lost it.

I work with someone that thinks the more you spend, the better quality you get. I have just posted him the link, be interesting to see if he buys it.

That could save me 600 quid https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Electric-Paint-Sprayer-Gun-Spraygun-Handheld-Fence-Home-Garden-Outdoor-Indoor/122567690666 What are they thinking

Yes I could, but got no use for the walk on glazing that comes with it, unless I make a spray booth. Shall look on fleabay and the discount stores.

Well just went to get one, and they are out of stock, nationally, and you cannot order one. Oh Bum

I may go and get one then. Cheers.

@pocster How have you got on with your repair with that paint sprayer?

I agree. We already have a transfer of income from high earners to low earners though the income tax and benefits systems. What we need it a simpler system that is transparent, not another layer of complexity.

I wonder how many are converted houses? Not all flats are high rise. They are probably diminishing in number.

Don't forget to add in evaporation losses to your calculations. Re the flow rates for cooling, work on the ones you already have. Then see how much power is delivered. Corby Council used a large pond to collect and store energy for their community swimming pool. The system never worked right and they changed to gas heating and conventional airconditioning.

There is, surface area to floor area is one metric, terraced housing is another. Orientation and wind shielding are others. I think forum members are biased in what they build. Is anyone here building a semi?

Flats could have A2A heat pumps, or community heating. Terraced places may have enough room outside for a monoblock, but could have a split system. Both flats and terraced have relatively low energy usage by definition (less exterior wall area), so a smaller problem to solve.

The same argument that the automotive industry has been using for decades, but they seem to manage to produce cars to a higher standard for, in real terms, less money. The biggest problem the house construction industry has is the people they employ on site.

Probably all of the above. I made a cuppa in about 30 seconds with my kettle.

Just tried it on mine, throws an error.

My kettle cost a tenner from Tesco. I am very dubious of any advantages.

Wasn't there, back in the 1970's, a joke about this. Punchline (said in Jamaican accent) was "(expletive deleted)ing dis custard"

Well filled the gaps, let's see what the morning brings.

Semi inside would be the best description. It leaks water to. Should be fine as soon as I foam it all up.

Door and frame is uPVC. I assume that the frame has a metal frame in it, but not 100% sure, the door does. It is the lack of any foaming between the walls and the frame that is the thermal problem.

You not got children then.

I hardly ever use my front door and porch. Partly because it is cold and miserable, even though it if SW facing. But now I have eventually got around to do a proper decorating job, I have found out why. Apparently the previous owner paid over £800 to have the door and frame fitted, and all that was keeping the weather out (remember it is SW facing in Cornwall, and I am at altitude) was some silcone on the internal plastic trim. Off to get some cans of foam now. Then I can try and work out why water gets into the actual door, and drains out when it is opened.

Good man.
