  1. Do you know how much water you currently use? There is no reason to think that it will change significantly.
  2. They will charge you to set up the loan, and to pay it off. But between those times, they will only take your money. I work next to a financial advisor, he has a masaratti. I wonder if his customers have one too.
  3. Have you looked them up at companies house and the IFS (or whatever they are called).
  4. Alt+248 is also ° Alt+357 is e Alt+12 is ♪ Alt+11 ♂, just getting carried away now.
  5. I am always making those errors, and transposing numbers.
  6. Should that not be in cubic metres, m3
  7. Which forum is that then? The warm up times will be a function of the power delivered to the slab.
  8. You may also need a water extraction license.
  9. Who makes the refrigerant pump? It may be assembled in the UK, or a cheap Far East model with UK controls in it. Take the covers off and see where the bits come from.
  10. Do you mean a water source heat pump. As is one that pumps river, lake or sea water into a heat exchanger, then through a heat pump as normal. Or a ground source heat pump, but with the brine pipework in water, rather than the ground. You can calculate the energy in a fixed amount of water easily enough. 4.18 kilo joules x mass or flow in Kg x drop in temperature in K. It is the same as how much energy us needed to heat water.
  11. Is snow considered dry or no.
  12. At 11 plus minutes, it is too long. So not watched it.
  13. Heat output is joules per metre2, power output is watts per metre2. Small sounding difference, but important.
  14. Perfect time to get some levelling stakes in. Today was the first day that I got some washing out on the line for weeks. It rained, now it is a 60 MPH storm.
  15. Welcome Not sure what you mean by this. Do you mean timber frame/SIPs/clad light weight block/something else?
  16. This insurance business is odd. Has anyone claimed on it before the house has been signed off? I once bought £200 worth of vehicle cover, was great, covered everything, except when the car broke unexpectedly.
  17. I keep seeing this, what is MQTT and why is it hard to set up.
  18. Ordered one from PiHut, day before yesterday. They only let me have one, and it was the one without the pins soldered on. There is loads. I keep meaning to make my code a bit posher. Want to add the sensor ID so I don't have to muck about typing it in. I also recommend a real time clock and a USB to TTL cable, makes setting up dead easy. Have been having trouble setting up a static IP address on the latest version of Raspbian (Buster). They seem to keep changing the way this is set up. It really is the sort of thing that needs to be done in one text file, right at the very beginning.
  19. The important thing is what you played on it.
  20. I liked the 1980's, maybe because I was in my 20's. A quick DuckDuckGo brought this up. Vera Duckworth, a classy woman, had her house clad. There is advice on how to remove it.
  21. Yes please. I could rig it up to @joe90's MVHR that I stuck a RPi on.
  22. Any help https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/456656/domestic_ventilation_compliance_guide_2010.pdf
  23. https://randomnerdtutorials.com/micropython-ds18b20-esp32-esp8266/ Yes they can.
  24. I have run 7 sensors on a 10 metre cable. I may have changed the resistor, can't remember which way though. As a RPI Zero W is only a tenner, may be easier to use a few more. Or use some ESP8266, pretty sure they can take a DS18B20's, can certainly take the DHTs. There is also the BME280's, they do temp, RH and pressure. What would be nice is a simple chart, one that can show all records, monthly, weekly, daily and hourly at the touch of a button, or a swipe of the screen. One problem with charts of a phone is that they are so small that they are hard to read. So may need stacked y-axis to show different sensors. Not sure how easy that is to do.
