No It is the Aris

Also found this when using the BME280 sensor, it is a quick way to get all the files you need onto your RPi $ sudo pip install RPi.bme280 Worked for me.

Was looking for some info on temp sensors and came across this useful command /opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd measure_temp It reads the onboard temp sensor. May be useful, may not.

Just as well as welsh has no vowels in it and just causes spittle.

Me too. If you have 6 sockets on a ringmain, and they do not work, that is 1 fault, not 7. I suspect that this is a naive couple that have very high expectations for their lives and are out of their depth.

Hunt around here and you can eventually find out all the prices paid. http://landregistry.data.gov.uk/

Yes, but there is still a romantic notion that traditional mining is going to return. South Crofty has recently had a large investment, again. I can't see it happening though for a number of reasons. The main one being a world heritage site not 500 yards from the main entrance. As if Cornwall needed another mining museum. Just about did for Broomwade too. Only people in High Wycombe and the Met office that have ever heard of Cambourne.

I went for the cheapest. And yes, they are tiny. But that is a good thing.

I got some new BMP280s and they work fine, seems the GY ones must have been a faulty batch. Also got a couple of PMS3003 monitors, but not had a chance to play with them yet.

Those that can do, those that can't teach I liked lecturing, the worse that happens is that you have to reboot a PC.

Hot tub is couple of grand for a very good one, what did he pay?

Yes, I was doing that quite well until the original one left for another institution.

Ask him to add up all the money he has spent in the last decade on his 'investments'. Then work out what he could have done with the cash instead.

The Cayennes will be on finance or worse, PCP

Yes, I had a two supervisors that were hopeless. One even claimed to have left messages on both my landline and my mobile. Neither of which had an answer service.

You could try downloading some messenger apps i.e Whattsapp, Viber, Telegram, then you can send a picture of yourself standing by their van, without or without their favourite child/pet/CD/beer as hostage. I agree that text is best, there is no misunderstanding when it is written correctly about what is wanted. I once had a customer bounce a cheque on me. I called him up and asked politely of there was a problem. He said 'no' and told me to represent the cheque. Then, within an hour he called again to say that he had overpaid me (he had not), I was very suspicious by then as he said he would write me a new cheque. I represented the old cheque anyway. I week later he left a message to say that I would not be getting any further work from him, I purposely ignored that call, because: The original check had cleared. He was a Barrister. Should have got a proper contract written.

How old was the original lead valley?

So they are just going to coat it, not do a full repair.

Nice design that, and a reasonable price. But this intrigued me: " FILON’s V-Flow DF valley troughs and accessories are fully recyclable at end of life. " Would like to know how they are doing it. It has been a problem with normal GRP because of the low costs and flammability. I did experiments in the early 90's, but was not worth the effort. Things change though.

If it is a simple shape, it may be worth having a mould made up. Then is can be made in a workshop and just fitted. Much more reliable that way.

Glass fibre (Fibreglass is a trade name) if done correctly. If done incorrectly it will be a disaster, but you will know that very early on. It is fairly easy to work out what it costs. Find the area costs i.e 3 layers of 450gm/m2, 2.7 kg of lay-up resin, 0.7 kg of flowcoat/top coat will costs about £11/m2. Multiply it by 4, round it up, so £50/m2. Then add on the VAT , so £60/m2, and any extra costs like scaffolding. Make sure they do it when everything is bone dry, not a drop of moisture. Should be a warm day as well, but preferably not sunny. I did some on my parents house nearly 30 years ago, it is still there.

Are they the ones where the gubbins is hidden in the wall and the pan seems to float (ish). Are you putting any wall strengthening in at the start, with a fake panel to hang the cheap crapper from?

Yes, true, and a valid point. But if it means not getting the build done, or worse, it is a price worth paying.

I often read on here about people getting unexpected costs added to their build. So this got me thinking. If you are planning that family kitchen so that you can enjoy real food cooked at home. You could live for a while with a free standing kitchen. You can even make one yourself. Similar in a bathroom. No need to have the perfect suit, with matching cabinets and electrically heated floors and mirrors. You can live with a really cheap one for a while, most of the main plumbing will be the same. Stick in an oversized towel rail for a bit of heating. Windows are another one. Get the very cheapest that will pass the building regs, then when life is better, put those posh, triple glazed, self tinting ones in. Doors the same, both internal and external. Cheap carpet on the floor, then when you have got the other messy bit upgraded, put the floor of your choice down. Now some of this will take a bit of forward planning but really not that difficult I would have thought. What else could be used until finances recover?

I am no expert here, in fact know very little. But I often read about 'contestable' work. As I understand it, these are bits you can do yourself, or at least organise a suitably qualified person to do it for you. I am sure other know more about all this. On a similar note, how about water and sewage/drainage?
