  1. With someone I love the most. Reminds me of this:
  2. Tea is compulsory in my house, even when I am on my own. "So on that note, I am going to make myself a cup of tea".
  3. Turds are tapered to stop your arsehole closing with a bang.
  4. £246.07 incl. VAT, plus Shipping But if it cost 20 quid you probably would wear one.
  5. It may seem odd that you only have custody of the water as it passes though your property. But if you go back a few decades, our rivers and canals were highly polluted. This is why we have such strict rules.
  6. It still amazes me that down here, with most of the population close to the warm Atlantic, water source heat pumps are not used. At Penzance the open air swimming pool, which is actually built out into the sea, has raised £1.3m to have a borehole drilled and a WSHP filled (yes a water one, not a ground one). Why they did not just use the ocean, it is huge and no need to drill.
  7. Hope they treat you better than customers, it is the 'sliminess' that gets me. A good SE needed then.
  8. As much as I like the look of them (glass canopies), I would not trust one in the winds I get. There is also keeping it clean. And not making it look like a BMW showroom.
  9. Just finished my meeting with the clever chemist. All about dipoles and negativity. Seems that when a molecule absorb energy, at the right levels, it changes shape. This makes it vibrate and rotate differently. After a short time, it slows and spits out a photon at different (lower) energy level. So CO2 (shall make the 2 subscript later) starts off as a non polar molecule until some energy heats it up, then it bends, this upsets the electrical balance. It is now a polar molecule. After a short time, it straightens, losing the energy it has gained. So I am thinking it is a bit like a bi-metalic strip. Starts straight, heat if and it bends, as it coils it straightens again. That is as far as I have got.
  10. V = 1/3π.r^2.h Assume an angle of 30°
  11. I think they may be on the list of stuff that is not allowed to be burned.
  12. Non slip handle. Good move. Why are fridges made so cheaply. They really are rubbish.
  13. £7.70 for my E7 with VAT. About the same as running my laptop. (if i put a full screen white picture up, I could read by it)
  14. You may have difficulty convincing a lot of people of that one.
  15. So that will be, 1 [kg.s-1] x 9.81 [m.s-2] x 1 [m] x 0.95 [eff] 9.3 W Run it for a year 81,639 Wh = 9.3 [W] x 8760 [h] Call it 82 kWh
  16. If you had 100 metres of head, at a flow rate of 1 litre/second, 95% efficiency you would only have 932 W. Trouble is, pico-turines are not very efficiency, they are like small windturbines.
  17. Does it matter
  18. Yes Press F12 to bring them up on the screen. But you do only get one undo, which is a pain.
  19. When you get a mortgage on a new property, they send a surveyor around, there must be independent surveyors that know about windows.
  20. Are some EU mainland companies not delivering because there is still uncertainty about what is happening next month?
  21. About half the size of my house, put a second floor in and it is bigger. I need a new shed, but it is about 3 m by 2 m.
  22. We all love an Essex Girl, frequently. (though I thought she was from Hertfordshire)
  23. With a bit of plumbing and ducting it should be possible to make it just like a real ASHP, with the benefit that it can also do the MVHR. All I am after us a box that draws in air, extracts the heat, which heats up water. But small. Because of the low heat loads I need, I don't think short cycling would be a problem, so no need for a modulating unit.
  24. Make it a closed loop system with a couple of heat exchangers.
