Where and how best to install temperature sensor in UFH screed
SteamyTea replied to readiescards's topic in Boffin's Corner
As the sensors are only a couple of quid each, why not fit more. The cabling is easy as they are 1Wire. -
You are not allowed to have the inverters in the loft anymore, unless there is dedicated cooling for them.

I tried using Lua, just could not get it to do anything at all. Probably my inexperience. So gave up and went back to the more familiar Python (well familiar to me anyway).

You can set the Wemos up with a USB cable and a PC. In Micropython all drivers for 1Wire and DHTs are already done. I think there are quite a few more as well. I keep meaning to get back to sorting mine out. All that was left to do was to get it to save the data somewhere else. Which should be fairly simple, but as it is Linux, it is probably not.

A Domain Name for your Self-Build? Try .uk
SteamyTea commented on Ferdinand's blog entry in God is in the Details
@newhome There was such fun when deciding on the domain name for this site. Much of it was down to @Construction Channel suggesting the 'hub' part and knocking up a quick logo. I thought that it looked a bit like the Halfords logo, but others saw it for what it was. A complete rip off of the better known 'hub' site. Oh happy days they were.- 7 comments

I read a book about it, all I learnt was that the Dutch are tall because their grandmothers got starved in WW2. -

Eat enough cakes and drink enough alcohol then you could self studied epigenetic. -
Plastering Moisture Resistant Plasterboard

I lived in Pennsylvania, just outside Harrisburg. Literally down the road was Three Mile Island, and the other way was Lancaster County. You could always tell when you were entering Amish areas, they smelt of pig shit. And then there was Centralia, if you think that a nuclear meltdown was bad, you should see that place. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centralia,_Pennsylvania -
That's it, I've had enough. I'm buying some. Which?
SteamyTea replied to ToughButterCup's topic in Tools & Equipment
Just remembered these. Great when body parts start flying off you. Good for plastering too, @Onoff has some -
Is that for Radon protection? They kind of all go together. How much insulation can you fit on ground floor. That is quite important. Almost certainly will, the walls will have a low U-Value, low SHC and probably leak air though them too. Lots of granite places here, and they are all hopeless when it comes to thermal efficiency.

Is that a cure for flu then? You not seen my girlfriend's make up have you. She looks like an Essex Girl after being strapped to Southend-on-Sea's pier for the winter. -
The octogenarian Elsie McBane had a visit from her Presbyterian minister. As she was making some tea, he commented on her two Dachshunds , Molly and Mark. "They are very playful" he said, "but what do you do when Molly is in season?" "Och, that is simple", replied Elsie, "I just pop Molly up the stairs". "How does that solve the problem" asked the minister. To which Molly replied. "Have you ever seen a Dachshund try and walk upstairs with a hardon".

Anyone know of someone with a CNC router?
SteamyTea replied to Jeremy Harris's topic in General Self Build & DIY Discussion
Do you have plans for it, sounds like a fun project. -
If you see the term 'eco', it is probably not.

Here is what real scientists need to do when statistically testing samples. http://www.kayelaby.npl.co.uk/statistical_methods_for_the_treatment_of_experimental_data/6_1/6_1.html I suspect that the Chi Square is used for buildings. Chi Square compares expected results to real real results to see if there is a difference. So it all comes down to the expectations i.e. 1 in 10 houses will fail, will give you a different acceptable error compare to 1 in 8 failing. All bollocks really as even the test houses are only dodge to get a pass.

How do I calculate the amount of PV needed?
SteamyTea replied to ToughButterCup's topic in Photovoltaics (PV)
They used to offer grants, our old mate DamonHD used it, and that strange low carbon (Nofal or Naffle or whaterever it was) scheme to install his. That was deemed to complicated at the time too. -
Any refrigeration experts here (ASHP)?
SteamyTea replied to ProDave's topic in Other Heating Systems
Or if we really want to know what is happening, then set this up right and it will give a decent probability P(k events in interval) = e-. k/k! Where: λ{\displaystyle \lambda } is the average number of events per interval e is the number 2.71828... k takes values 0, 1, 2, … k! = k × (k − 1) × (k − 2) × … Bugger, this sight does not seem to show symbols the same as my PC So just look up Poisson Distribution or time to failure and time between failure. -

No it doesn't as they are independent events. That is like saying a football team cannot loose twice in a row -

I would have thought that someone, somewhere, would have pointed out that there was already a large downward trend in prices and that the UK market would not materially affect that trend. Surely the better way would have been to tax the polluters more. We had a carbon trading/taxation scheme in place in Europe, but that fell apart though mismanagement/fraud. One of the problems is, especially in the UK, that if something fails first time around, it is never given a second chance. But you have to remember that I am not a lover of subsidies or any sort, when iti comes to business it is much better to punish severely than reward mildly.
