Onoff

Get zero condensation on the inside of my 2G bathroom window. That's because inside and outside temperatures are near equal I guess!

My downstairs Bedroom, Hall and Dining Room are all suspended floors over dirt. The lounge is a weird suspended floor construction above a "concrete" floor (who knows how thick!). They'll all be coming up and get the hardcore, insulation and UFH in slab treatment. D'stairs Bathroom already has had this treatment with UFH loop in place (but going nowhere at the mo). Stairs room is concrete, that's coming up for the dig down / build back up treatment. The UFH manifold will sit under the stairs and all UFH pipes go off from there. I'll be putting in at least 150mm PIR + 25mm EPS. Kitchen and Utility are concrete but way too high.....tba! ? The one thing that always sticks in my mind is @Jeremy Harris saying even with his super insulated house sitting in 300mm of EPS, he estimated his heat losses to the ground as 8% I think it was. That really puts things into perspective! @oranjeboom in here dug his whole ground floor up and built it back up. All I need to complete mine is money and time!

What's the wall make up and cavity width?

Do you think it would improve his diction and grammar? Gotta love a euphemism! ?

I'm sure a clever bloke could do the maths ? Anyway it's 200mm dia, has a 3 speed motor with a "0.18m3/s nominal flow rate". Might do as a positive ventilation fan for Zoot!

Scored from work for nowt. Thrown out as a bit of random plastic was rattling around inside!

I've got this:

So this is a blower rigged to blow air into the house, set in a sealed door or window aperture? The idea being it "pressurises" the internal space? Silly question maybe but how do you see/feel the draught? Wet finger, bit of paper to blow in the "breeze"?

She has in fact seen Peter's house. Still doesn't get the no pain, no gain thing. Until she lets me dig the floor up in the adjacent room it will continue to be effing cold in there. Or she can move the tonne of crap in the loft (all hers) and I'll sort the body dryer.

@joe90, did your neighbour buy any compound for his roof?

I did! Seen it "snap" on site before...

Ta. Do you reckon it's worth having a spare pump sitting in a drawer ready to go? I did replace this one years ago but that long I can't remember exactly why/what. Something to do with it sticking and a small Woodruff type key maybe but it's all a bit vague!

Hell no, density and thickness. Some is like Weetabix and only really fit for use as cover boards when shipping the good stuff! My lounge floor is made from similar, not proper T&G boards. Tbh I'd say it's an own brand, budget Weetabix. (A fat bloke I know went through it once ? ). Edit: Twice...

Got a length of 3-core, 2.5mm SWA down the circa 13m of 60mm smooth bore duct along with some screened, duct grade Cat-5e plus a random, screened 4-core flex for luck. Might drag it all out and put the two small ones in their own 20mm ducts. Pita is the gate end 32mm corrugated I've got going up inside my brick pillars. SWA is just so stiff in this cold. Printed a wee ball to go in the end and act as a guide.

It's in after clearing the snow & unfreezing the padlock on the tank! Out of interest why is a "capful of 2-stroke or a gallon of diesel" better than "engine oil"?

It's good for the Compriband.

Off up the garden in the snow, to do it right now. I may be some time...

All of it (1L?)

Evening, a lock out just now. Changed the filter I said I was going to do in November, it was minging! All firing up again but I was wondering about the adding some lubricating oil trick. You say "ash free" 2 stroke, and "a cupful". Say 500ml? Do I just sling this in the tank or mix with some heating oil first? Down to about 700L/160gal. This any good? (Bought for the Puch Maxi that came with the house...another project! ?). Cheers

My downlights in the bathroom are cool white which we both prefer. I think though that's the reason it's so cold in there... ?

Where do you think that damp air goes then? Some of it gets carried by (relatively) warm air upward to your nice new, sealed (relatively speaking) room where you add to it exhaling etc. No concern? I think you'll find it is!

Is that West Country for "mews"?

So have you yet tried bleeding the rads?

Why not stain the ply boards and just fit plastic T pieces at the joins, for example: https://www.tubewaysales.com/cat/plastic-board-and-panel-profiles/plastic-t-section/ Can look quite good, say grey stain, black trim or a funky contrasting colour to match your classic! Tbh though I'd think very carefully having ply in a working garage, it'll go up like a torch in a fire.
