    There is a WHS about half a mile from me. I am not actually in it, but am affected by the restrictions i.e. need planning permission too change my shed, not add a shed, just change it. They are a total nonsense and brought in very undemocratically. Like the Green Belt, they need to be got rid of (not the buildings/views/areas, just the designation).

    I would have kept very quiet about it all. You can get software that will mask areas I think.

    But much easier and you can add in different instruments. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/88-Keys-USB-Flexible-Roll-up-Roll-up-Electronic-Piano-Keyboard-SE/122300383285

    We had the job of making the samples that sales people took around for Corian. I seem to remember that we just cut them up on the bench saw, then sanded the edges and polished with jeweller's rouge. I was not very involved in the job and can't remember what happened exactly, but we treated it the same as our cast acrylic.

    Bit thin on details about the drill.

    Does Sketchup use layers? I assume it does. And can you import or copy and paste an image into it?

    Just download a few freeware 2D Cad programs and see how you get on with them. Trouble with CAD is users tend to like what they first used and changing to another program is troublesome. LibreCad is an open source package that is similar to old AutoCad programs, it is also portable so you don't actually install install it. https://portableapps.com/apps/graphics_pictures/librecad-portable It is also worth trying out Sketchup and the new Microsoft clone.

    Make an image of it and write it to a new card. Then check the new card is working and 'archive' the old one (put the original in a safe place). You can get utilities for Windows that can read Linux drives, but I have not found a good free one yet. Try: https://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=1159 I use Win32DiskImager and had no real problems with it. https://portableapps.com/node/36350 If you are using a Windows PC then SDFormatter is useful. https://portableapps.com/node/23594 Be very careful when writing an image as I once wrote to my Windows partition and lost about 2000 pictures.

    If you can, try and hunt around and see what script they have written to run the unit, probably Python, though may be C. Be even better if it is not encrypted and you can have a poke around in it. I have not had any SD cards fail while logging get, but then I usually 'play about at Christmas' and make a new one. Just looked at one of my log files and it has 1.6 millions unique lines in it and seems to be running fine. It logs every 6 seconds and has been doing so since 10/02/2017 (had the occasional inadvertent switch off).

    I find the best, and quickest way to get a job done is to start it. I am also not afraid of failure, and starting again.

    Is that a stray earth lead in the picture? (The French think earthing/bonding is for pansies)

    Romford is hardly London.

    Does the Tesla still collect driving and navigation data, even without the self drive capability turned on? I actually saw a car at the charging point at Land's end, first one ever.

    Um, life was best in black and white.

    Get me 200 Marlboro and I will be around in no time

    Cheers, when I pluck up the courage and my G/F has had her new bathroom fitted, I shall give it a go.

    I am going to jump on this thread with my immersion problem (but not trying to hi-jack it). After 30 years it seems my bottom element has gone and I need to replace it (200 lt copper E7 cylinder). What are the chances of getting the one out (I have the tools) after 30 years without distorting the copper cylinder? Is it worth squirting it with WD40 or similar for a few days? Tap it gently, or just wrench at it with the big spanner, or use the box spanner and the short rod?

    That is similar to what I tell people. If they object to a developmental, they can buy the land themselves. There is a twat over at the 'other place' that thinks his area is unsuitable to bring up children, I suggested that he moves. He did not get it.

    Yes, I would use a simple RH 'switch' to control it as until it is up and running, and the house all settled in as it is hard to guess what is actually needed until then. As a general rule it is not worth getting to hung up and very fine control with temperature and humidity levels, humans are pretty adaptable to varying conditions.

    The conversion is easy: http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/Kinetic/relhum.html One advantage of using AH is that you end up with a measure of what the problem is i.e. how much liquid water is entering your house.
  23. SteamyTea
    I am sure that will come, but at the moment they have to act fast and make sure places are safe, or not.
  24. SteamyTea
    That would be a reason to use AH and temperature as it could automatically adjust for that. Or use a sensor on the input side as well and correlate the differences with internal temperature.

    Our old mate DamonHD did some work on this and I looked at the data. Seemed there was a good correlation between occupancy and RH/CO2 at the school he monitored. It was also possible to see increases in road traffic when the school was empty. By doing co-variance statistics you can correlate for temperature differences i.e. when the house is empty and unheated, or at night. I think I still have both Damon's and some of JSH's data and may have a look later and see what can be teased out.
