Onoff

I bought an Electra Elecheib induction hob from Comet as they were going bust in September 2012. That well known make designed in Israel and made in Turkey. Started at £399...reduced to £199 and then found a 15% off code. So £169.15 all in. Schott Ceran glass etc. Figured for the money we'd take a chance. Fambloodytastic it's been too!

Yep, off of 3 below: I'll have to look at the old jet to see what size I have. From that I can tell the pressure from the table in the book.

Understood. One of these then? https://www.bes.co.uk/oil-pressure-gauge-18582/

Picked up a new pump from the nice man. He did say it gets to the point when he'll usually just change the burner. He did say the pump is factory set but sometimes needs a tweak and did I have a pressure gauge. I haven't but I guess one of these? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Warmflow-Low-Pressure-Gauge-3019/262248801171?epid=13020305216&hash=item3d0f3f2393:g:Lt4AAOSwuYVWnh~k Said he charges £75 for a service...were not there yet! ?

Masochist surely? You just can't help punishing yourself?

There's a couple on here I'd send a length of pipe... ?

Yes but you never get to hold it when being fed by a tube and having your ar5£ wiped for you! ?

That's going to be you, dressed as Julie Christie whilst getting Fibaro'd by your HA. All artisically shot through walk on glazing!

Picking a pump up later, new for £75. Local, friendly oil/AGA specialist. Yep, I know it might not fix it. I'll keep going and it'll be like Trigger's Broom! There's a couple of scrapped ones over the farm, I might go and grab the solenoids if they're still any good.

I'm mulling submitting plans for a hip to gable conversion and to bring the front and rear dormers out just a tad. Plan is to show a warm roof, ewi, solar pv & ST. (Trying to up the "green" credentials to get the physical extensions / changes through). Do "they" set a time limit for when the e.g renewables, rendering on the ewi have to be finished? What happens say if you lost your job, ill health etc and couldn't finish. Does it just not get signed off or do you need to apply for extensions? (Or if you just happen to be one of those people who take their time... ?

Existing room, I did: Tiles 100mm wet concrete (laid with screed rails) Poly Panels with 16mm UFH pipes 150mm pir (in two layers) DPM 25mm eps Sand (sharp) blind Type2 It feels like a floor should! ?

Still locking out! ? Picking a new pump up local, tomorrow pm.

Pump maybe? Another lock out tonight. Took a sharp rap on the pump with a screwdriver seemingly to get it to go and fire up. So gummed up or worn? (Took the time to swap out the fridge cap for a proper Riello spare one whilst I had the lid off). Not sure on the pump part number I need... So RDB burner. Not sure on the RDB2 significance on the plate? This is from the manual we have for the boiler: So "3008654"? Pretty sure the local Plumb Centre will do it.

Do 3rd party letters supporting a planning application carry any weight? As in "I think the development would enhance the village...." sort of thing.

Pedantic sorts with too much time on their hands. There's forums for people like that...

If he licked his finger first he could at least gauge the direction of the draught maybe?

Grab handles a must?

Is this a floating slab new build, a refurb, what? No way you can get more insulation in? I said only the other day (yet again ?) @Jeremy Harris has 300mm of EPS under his slab and still estimated 8% heat loss downward!

Lots of people on here with sand blinding with seemingly no issues (including me). Sharp sand in my case. Agree with having the concrete above the insulation. I just have dead level concrete above my insulation so no screed. UFH pipe about 1/3 of the way up in 100mm concrete. Tiles straight onto the concrete. Nice big heat store is the idea.

Yeah, alright Dave! ?

I've read/heard of a few people swearing blind that their "powerlink" adapter (I use the term generically), "won't work over the steel wire armoured". Neighbour is one of them in fact. I'd guess his garage is 50m from the house, maybe more. No idea how his SWA is run. Not sure if they just work over just L & N? Thinking if maybe they're stopping the earth short of the garage/summer house/shed and rodding locally. Could just be dodgy connections I guess...

I thought I'd sign up...not at those prices! What does "fully refundable" mean?

Boil a kettle and watch the steam, it goes UP aka warm, moist air rises. I would seriously wipe this thread from the face of the Earth. Wiping it from memory might be harder.

You've a collection of interconnected "boxes", your rooms. Some ARE damper than others, like the old ones at the bottom where you say you have rising damp. All the boxes, to different degrees are "air leaky" (yes, even the new rooms). Those leaky points work both ways. They'll let draughts in, they'll let heated air out. So the wind blows against the outside of the house. It forces it's way in those little leaky points in the building fabric, around doors, windows, mortar joints, ceiling roses, keyholes even. That incoming draught(s) will force all that warm 'ish, moisture laden air around your house. It'll try and get out but hang on, you've a decent, new, pretty well sealed up room upstairs. That warm, moist air can't get out. It'll get absorbed by some surfaces like paper and clothes. On hard surfaces you may well see it. On hard, comparatively cold surfaces, like your frames you WILL see it. I think you said you don't get the issue in the new downstairs workshop? A combination maybe of the materials in there soaking up any moisture, the fact that the room is on the ground floor and not really subject to rising, warm, moist air.
