Clever - a hidden lintel.

Except at le Weekend! Seriously though if all 30 million French households implement this surely the savings will be valuable, most savings are when you multiply them by 30 million. Of course you have to think of the greater good not just your own personal enrichment / aggrandisement.

On the contrary we are all crying cos we pay 2 or 3 times as much for our electricity as you do and pretty soon it will be even more. So you are the one who should be laughing.

I hope it will enjoy its freedom.

Looking good - not sure I get how the lintels across those opening work but I guess you can see that better from the inside.

Respect - getting that bang on over 2m!

Welcome to THE forum for people like us! Can't really see what a big thermal store brings you here unless your electricity has a night rate or some such to allow you to move the demand window. As @PeterW says if you just need DHW to be stored then you only really need that at a worst case volume, rather than vast amounts of losses in a big system, and you can always fit an immersion heater to top it up quickly if needed.

Ok so you learn something every day don't you!

I already had a blog so it was just a new entry the whole thing worked out of the box.

How does he fix it, by creating a category or an entry?

Ah - that's interesting, more to follow there will be an easy answer to why Steamy's blog does not allow comments?

Yes I thought so. You wonder how many other similar issues are out there - Italian bridges notwithstanding!

You have chosen a good day for it and a bad day to be without it😁.

Seems like a plan.

Worth a look, if you can stand it, to learn how not to build in problems. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0018t7t/why-buildings-collapse#xtor=CS8-1000-[Promo_Box]-[News_Promo]-[News_Promo]-[PS_IPLAYER~N~m0018t7t~P_WhyBuildingsCollapse_SEG_PNC]

Yes @TemperanceNI you need also to prepare for that aspect of the build. Smooth is NEVER the word in self building BUT it's great to see progress.

Interesting insight into the challenges of fixed price contracts, they are only ever any good in times of low inflation or predictable inflation times.

Interesting challenges don't know which pump would be best but if you are having an internal ASHP as you will need VERY good ventilation in that space to get the air throughput you are going to need.

Think we looked at this a few weeks back. @JanetE posted this: 12 packs of salt blocks last a year. They are £72 from: Greens, https://water-systems.co.uk/ on the thread: not sure how it compares as weight not know but I guess a quick look will help.

If it is Japanese Knotweed then you have a problem, everything about the challenge is here: https://www.rhs.org.uk/weeds/japanese-knotweed hard work ahead if it is.

Think that post took a chunk off my life, still this coffee time Apple will take the edge off!

Interesting observations.

Got one (Well similar) and thought I would have a dig around the amplification of the IF stage to make it read with arduino / EPS. Anyway found this video - some of this chaps gear will make you jealous I think the Keysight MXA is around $80K. Insightful video.

But means feeling up to walking on the ridge with a watering can, a packet of Copper sulphate and dragging a hose. 😧 Why have I got a funny feeling in my gonads?

@nod gives you a couple to try above.
