    Constant struggle to get our kids to drink enough. One played a 7's rugby tournament in 28C heat last Thursday, next day he did a 21km sponsored walk. Saturday he wakes up complaining of a headache. No surprise.

    We have a 100cm Britannia dual fuel (2 electric oven, 6 LPG rings). I think if I was restricted to 90cm I would consider a large single oven rather than a double - or at least go and see if the ovens on a double are wide enough for you. My wife likes cooking and we have kids so ours has been in heavy use since we got it. Lasted 9 year before an element and a door seal failed. Both readily available online and was easy to fix myself. The door seals are pretty standard on all cookers. Still cleans up like new. Think I would buy one again.

    I've no idea if this is a real issue but some 12 years ago one or two UFH suppliers also told us there was a potential issue when cable tying pipe to the mesh. They were concerned about the cut ends of the rods that make up the mesh so perhaps it would be better to run the pipe as per the green rather than the red ?

    The planners would have 10 years to initiate enforcement action. If they failed to do so in that time they could no longer enforce the condition. At that point you could apply to have the condition discharged on the grounds that it's un-enforcible but I expect there is a fee for that :-)

    If you have a good Honeywell agent in Swansea they do a remote sensor (10k Thermistor) for the CM901/907 range of stats. http://www.honeywelluk.com/Documents/Easy-User-Guide/pdf/Outside Temperature Sensor Product Specification.pdf

    Just for info that also uses a 10k thermistor.

    Just back from searching a wheat field in 27 degree heat for the Samsung one of my kids dropped on a sponsored walk so just a bit knackered but... Not sure what that is. Perhaps a thermocouple rather than a thermistor? Differently beasts. If you are going to use the I-108 it needs to be 10k not 15k or the temperature settings will be around 20C out. It might be possible to change a resistor or two on the I-108 to correct for this but the data sheet doesn't have a circuit diagram.

    Had a look at the I-108 data and is says it needs a 10KOhm NTC thermistor. Think that's same as Heatmiser stats. Annoyingly Maplin don't seem to stock them (strange). Rapid have Probes.. https://www.rapidonline.com/atc-semitec-103at-11-ip67-10k-precision-ntc-thermistor-probe-with-600mm-lead-61-2040 https://www.rapidonline.com/atc-semitec-103at-11-50081-ip67-10k-ntc-thermistor-probe-with-1500mm-lead-61-2041 Bare thermistors.. https://www.rapidonline.com/tks-dht0a103f34d3sy-10k-3435k-1-axial-glass-ntc-thermistor-55-1229 https://www.rapidonline.com/tks-ttc05103jsy-10k-5-radial-straight-lead-ntc-thermistor-55-1259 Film.. https://www.rapidonline.com/tks-ttf3a103f34d3ay-10k-1-insulation-film-type-ntc-thermistor-55-1265 Think any would probably work just a case of ease of mounting and response time.

    It appears Lloyds only appealed to the Lords about the ruling on overseas transactions and that was rejected meaning overseas transactions are covered under S75. https://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld200607/ldjudgmt/jd071031/lloyds.pdf I haven't yet found details of an appeal to the Lords on the four party connected lender liability issue.

    Have done some more digging and found this court case care of another forum.... http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/2006/268.html Its a judgement from 2006 involving the OFT and some credit card companies (Lloyds, Tesco, Amex). It looked at transactions involving four parties (you, the seller, the credit card co and an intermediary) as well as transactions abroad. They concluded... It's interesting that Amex supported the view that section 75 applied to four party transactions. They only objected to it being applied abroad. So that might suggest Amex are more likely to pay up under section 75 than other card suppliers. So unless this judgement has been overturned at a higher court it seems clear that you are covered when an intermediary is involved.

    A thermistor is basically a resistor who's resistance varies with temperature. However the change in resistance is modest so you need a circuit that turns it into an on/off signal. This is usually done by a comparator that compares the resistance of the thermistor with that of an adjustable resistor. When one is greater/lower than the other it switches the output on/off. There are probably circuits on the web or modules on eBay/napkin that will do this. Some Heatmiser room stats have an optional external sensor mode but they only cover a narrow temperature range as you don't usually want to set a room to say >30C.

    I think some form of RCD protection either a shared RCD or individual RCBO is mandatory for new circuits on the ground floor.

    I was aware that using PayPal meant you loose protection because they are considered a third party intermediary. Hadn't occured to me that other payment processing companies like Worldpay might also be considered third parties but I can see why that might be the case. Thanks for the warning.

    Just noticed you wanted it for barn doors! Try local saw mill?

    I've purchased some oak from these people in the past. http://www.timberdeal.co.uk/ http://www.timberdeal.co.uk/wooden-table-tops/ http://www.timberdeal.co.uk/wide-long-block-wooden-worktops/ If I remember correctly the owner of the company is Polish and they import small quantities of high quality wood from Europe, turn it into feature tables and kitchens. Some is exported back to Europe. I have a feeling they prefer or only deal with trade customers but not sure.

    Wouldn't be my choice. They just look so "run down council estate" to me. What do you do when one cracks in half? Our allotment was given a load of scaffolding boards and they haven't lasted very well as bedding boxes. I'd go with the sleepers. They look best laid flat but work out cheaper on edge.

    The construction as I understand it was.. Inside - concrete - Celotex RS5000 - ventilated cavity - Reynobond (Aluminium/PE/Aluminium sandwich) - Outside I think the PE is essentially just a filling to help with the stiffness of the panels. I think another make uses an aluminium honeycomb. It's on the outside of the ventilated cavity so it wasn't being used as insulation. The RS5000 is similar to their FR5000 product. It's possible there were also unventilated cavities between the concrete and Celotex.

    I think I would get the insulation up and have all the windows and doors open for a few days. At least until any puddles have gone. Then lay a DPM before putting the insulation back down.

    +1 That way the granite also hides the underside of the lintel.

    Perhaps see "How to find and buy a Building Plot" by Roy Speer and others. Keep an eye on the weekly list of planning applications as some might be a planning application prior to selling the plot. I found some plots just by driving around. At least twice I found plot for sale signs from agents that we were registered with but which hadn't sent us details.
