Is that the year or the hour?

Raining here, but that is nothing special for August. VID_20190828_120813334.mp4

Why not just get an app for your phone, some bluetooth earbuds and stop annoying everyone else with local radio.

This used to happen in the franchised motor trade a lot. What happens is that say, Vauxhall, gave you a quota that you had to sell, regardless of whether they could supply the cars or not. So what would happen is that at the beginning of the period, there was little discount, at the end of the period, there were huge discounts. Then it was made worse when there was over production and they forced more cars onto the dealers. These were often sold well below cost. The last 2 cars I bought were 'incentive' cars and got 20% of list. So it may be worth Buildhub member getting together and asking for quotes at different times, see if the prices change.

@Ferdinand Just collecting evidence for when I get around to writing up my bit about the effects of mass on temperature.

I stayed in a friends new built house in Manchester. The water tank was in the spare bedroom cupboard. The room was too hot (and I like the heat), noisy and because it was also an airing cupboard, humid. I did not stay a second night.

Is there a Rule of Thumb for estimating the ....
SteamyTea replied to ToughButterCup's topic in Electrics - Other
So enough to wire up 50 houses. This is the old joke about asking my Chinese neighbour about how many rolls of wall paper he bought to decorate his front room. He said he bought 9, so I bought 9. Decorated the room and had 5 left over. When I challenged him about it, he sad he had 5 left over too. -
Does it log the time it uses energy. Know that is quite important if you want to change to time of day tariffs. Then you can knock up something like this and analysis it properly.

Or I can just quote economic principles in a forceful and outright manner. If I was female, it would be called assertiveness. But I am not, so I shall just insult general principles and entrenched ideals. I am doing my best. (not using emojis as I don't want people to know if I am serious or not)

Home made one. Failing that, get an old Current cost one from eBay, link it to a raspberry pi, ask for some software (a few of us use them), log for a few weeks, then dissect the data.

Rust Removal Adventures: Electrolysis, Acid etc
SteamyTea replied to Onoff's topic in Tools & Equipment
Was that why they had vinyl seats, there is something special about remembering sitting in the MK 3 estate (2 litre auto in beige) in the South of France summers. I could piss myself and mother just assumed it was pre puberty sweat. -
Have you heard of the economic principle called 'division of labour'. Was coined by a Scot. Now what can I add to this to get the thread locked, or even deleted.

Have you done breakdown of your electrical usages. It is worth knowing how much goes to heating space, water, food ect. If you haven't, get an energy logger so you do know.

Uv exposure of polyurethane glues does it go deep!
SteamyTea replied to MikeSharp01's topic in Timber Frame
They both discolour. The best for UV protection should be acrylic, but as they add so much fillers into it, I suspect it is no better than any other. I am not sure what difference colour will make, reds where always terrible for aging. Black went grey, white went grey, clear went grey, blue went grey, as did yellow and green. Maybe grey is the best colour. -
So no better than a timber frame place for limiting temperature then.

I had one as a runaround company car 20 years ago. They are better now. I have to say that as I have a C-Max. Ford stands for Fix or Repair Daily. -
