ROFL The nitrate comment was a good one. I shall use that.

I was connected to a mates wifi yesterday and the day before and I was getting disconnected a lot. I put that down to their wifi. Windows was reporting no wifi, but was still connected. We were experiencing many very short (less than a second) power cuts the day before. So may hve been something to do with that. All seems fine now. The two android devices I have (phone and Fire) seem to work just dandy.

I am happy to be the smoke machine, will work for Marlboro

It may well be worth you getting an air leakage test done, that way you know where you are starting from. You could make your own fan and manometer/pressure gauge if you are fairly practical and save yourself a few quid.

Is anyone filling to put up a couple of sketches. One with the ideal installation for NSS's house and one that would be the absolute ideal installation for UFH, a rad or two and a towel rail with electric element. It may make it a bit clearer to follow. I suspect that the installers are plumbers that have decided to do a few HPs rather than experts in then (X is an unknown quantity, spurt is a drip under pressure).

Pretty good now. I think SAS had a lot to do with getting it cleaned up. Down near Levant Mine there is a stream that is a lovely blue from the copper sulphate. I keep thinking I should stick a PV panel up and see how much I can electrolyse out.

Got to be safer than this http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1087772/Boy-12-collapsed-died-using-Lynx-deodorant.html But my cute neighbour likes the smell of this on me: https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/267154230 And it is only a quid. Who would want to be a teenager again!

Do a lot of teasing, and if you can find the landowner, tell him to ask for more 'rent' on the land.

I suppose that if you live next to a large windfarm or solar farm, and you believe that it reduces property prices, and the estate agent and buyer does as well, then you have a self fulfilling prophecy. Now I have not read that preliminary draft paper for the LSE yet, but taking your figures at face value, I would have thought that 12% maximum, and a 3% minimum downward price shift is a combination of things i.e. over optimistic asking price, decor, general aspiration of buyer, interest rates and fixed term loans, value of house for sale, quantity of houses for sale, general over pricing of housing... Could probably pick holes it is quite easily. To give you an idea of the variation in realism, my neighbour paid 35% more for his house than I did, he still thinks it is worth what he paid for it. He compares it to some housing that is slightly larger, in a better location and in an area that has sold a few houses. I on the other hand accept that my house has gone down in value by about 20% and is in an area that is hard to sell in. There have been no sales here since about 2007, so a decade without data.

Just so that I understand what is going one. These mixer valves allow the fluid to be circulated around the UFH pipework. When a greater temperature is needed, they open up a valve from the ASHP/Buffer/Thermal Store (or whatever) and inject some hotter fluid into the UFH pipework, with some colder fluid redirected back to the ASHP/Buffer/Thermal Store (or whatever). Then, when it is up to to the desired temperature, they close again and the UFH pipework is allowed to have fluid flow though it until the temperature drops and another injection is needed. So as long as the ASHP/Buffer/Thermal Store (or whatever) is at a greater temperature i.e. 40°C for a floor flow temperature of say 35°C, then the mixer valve does the fine control. If cooling then it is reversed with warm water from the UFH pipework being sent to the ASHP/Buffer/Thermal Store (or whatever). Actually, probably not a thermal store in this case. Is that basically right?

I did see that god's cousin, Furby. I ran terrified out the room as it attracted children.

If you don't have tractors passing by, or mooing cows, bleating sheep, barley (I am badly allergic the pollen), or basically an industrial process on your door step, how does this affect your house value. Like windfarms, is there really any evidence that holds up that there is a genuine negative impact. Or is it just a belief based on nothing.

Children need a home too

When I worked in the PV industry, we dealt with a lot of slate roofed places. Some of the hooks have nice rounded ends, others are as sharp as nails. I think you know which would be best. I used slate for another purpose and have found the local (Delabole) slate dreadful. I had some Brazilians and it was much more to my taste. I agree that an angle grinder and diamond cutter is a quick and fast way to do a simple, straight cut.

Get the council to make you homeless, then they can rehouse you. Play it right and you can then buy the house they put you in with a hefty discount. Mate of mine won his appeal on this sort of thing. One council department wanted to throw him off where he was living in a touring van, another department stepped in and said they would have too rehouse them and they had no money/spare properties (which is of course rubbish as they have loads in Cornwall).

Have you tried calling up some of the more specialised local housebuilders or architects? There are a few near you.

Bugger, missed that. Give me another so that I can keep my average at 100% wrong

Does not give alerts though, and that is what Ian is after. You could try looking at some surfing apps, they are a lazy bunch of xxxxx and probably have already written something. http://www.surfline.com/surf-science/how-to-create-a-surf-alert_22491/

Sounds like you are really after a weather prediction app, can't say I have seen one. You could link into a raw feed and make your own. Can't be that hard. Might not work on all web browsers though, so will be useless

Are they any good? They website claims (used to, seems to be under construction at the moment) they are better in the British climate (whatever that is).

Are you allowed to burn MDF and chipboard legally. I would have thought is was treated timber.

It does not convert all stored carbon to CO2 and CH4. Around 40% becomes relatively inert "soil" that is one of the largest carbon stores we have. It is about 5% by mass in the first 100mm of soil depth (Upson et al, 2016), reforestation of pastoral land is even better. SO planting new trees is a better idea that managing existing forests. There is also a lot of scope to vary the types of trees planted if you want to sequester carbon in soil, but balancing growth rate, decomposition rate and leaf fall. That is before plantation location is considered. As for the 'black helicopters'. Whenever @JSHarris mates fly over Porthleven heading towards Goldsithney or Relubus (where SarahSW lives, what happened to her), I think of this.

How is the total square metreage measured? Internal habitable space. My house would sneak in this.
