  1. Case in point, I've slept before with a bobble hat on when it's been that cold here. Similarly I've slept with ear plugs in when No.1 son was going through his hear it through walls "F***ING KILL IT DOMINIC!" gaming phase. Mind you I've slept in a trench I've dug myself.....
  2. You can't have it all ways! You're either too cold or too hot...like effin Goldilocks! ? The ideal is that you're not freezing cold when you sleep thus you have it come on periodically through the night if you want to maintain a stable temperature. The greater your heat losses through the fabric the more often it will come on. Cut down on your losses it'll come on less. Alternatively accept it'll be cold throughout the night, and when you get up for piss, chuck on another blanket but have the heat come on a bit before you get up to take the chill off at least. Appreciate you'd like it "quiet" when it does come on.
  3. If your house is that cold at night then you might actually want the heat to come in for a bit surely? The house heats up and it loses heat simple as that. How long it takes to lose it is dictated by the level of insulation, the decrement delay of the structure and the air tightness. In your case piss poor for the most part like my house. If you go to bed and the house is warm, then the heating goes off, it'll likely be bloody cold again before you wake up.
  4. First get a sponsor then skip over telling people how much it cost on the video! ?
  5. Not used it but a few reviews mention sealing felt seams: https://www.screwfix.com/p/geocel-trade-mate-roofers-seal-black-310ml/32561?
  6. Me, heed? ? I made my own screed rails bolted to the walls. Came out as flat as a pancake. The piss poor tiling is down to me, not an uneven floor! Tbf the floor is better than the walls...

    If Bob is still trading at Rensa in Walsall try him for louvres etc. Super helpful for one offs. Might have something off the shelf. Really nice guy & not expensive: https://www.ukccm.co.uk/WMCCM/Home.aspx?tabindex=1&tabid=2020
  8. Did I need it? Tiles straight on the A142 reinforced concrete. Too late now...
  9. It's easy, you just have to wait for his flash front door to open due to an HA set up glitch. The other option is crack a pipe and float up through one of the many holes in the roof! Hi Guy! ?
  10. It would pi$$ me off big time, if a close neighbour, standing on their raised deck could see over a 6' fence and likewise I could see them. Sorry, maybe that's just me.
  11. Valiant /ˈvalɪənt/ Learn to pronounce adjective possessing or showing courage or determination. "He made a valiant effort to hold his anger in check"
  12. I was being sancerre for a change.
  13. If red from each tap would there be a two port valve underneath?
  14. Sorry they're reserved for very "special" people.
  15. Knew a lad once who wrapped his Toyota Hilux suspension in yards of the stuff. Certainly lasted. I use it on hydraulic fittings outside too.
  16. ? Love it! It'll protect high tensile bolts outside for years. Mind you'll still be getting it off your hands...
  17. Fair enough, I thought it was your reflection.
  18. Why not just get some Aurora Enlites and get the bezels resprayed to whatever? Simples. They come in white, chrome, brushed etc. Not sure about matt black...gun metal maybe? Oh hang on you want slim fit...don't know ref the slim ones.
  19. I don't actually like them myself, it's more a case of what I grew up on. Go through a Hell of a lot of slim ones at work but that might be just sheer numbers. I prefer "proper" downlights but I'd go with slim ones in future as long as they're easy enough to access and replace. The benefits outweigh anything else in this instance. The slim, flat panel ones do give a superior spread of light / beam angle generally. Tell him back of the queue! I like One Gel, again habit I guess: https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/WKONEGEL.html
  20. Not just piped gas, generalising but methane from say sewers where you have a broken pipe in a wall, radon maybe getting up via the cavity.....can't think of any others but youll get the gist.
  21. Nom. is understood far and wide as accepted shorthand for nominal. "Loooong" is boll@cks in any language. If you want to write "bc" for because then do it on your phone and don't be lazy. Whatever size of radiator has a BTU rating as in the nominal 12000BTU or 7000BTU I quoted for the two you sized up. I said nominal as different makes will vary slightly. That's the maximum amount of "heat" in simple terms it'll give out to the room if fed with hot water at a certain temperature. You calculated you need 4121BTU for your workshop. For the moment just assume that you're dead on with your calculations. You have a 12000BTU radiator in there. It could be working so well that it heats the room up super quick because it's three times the size it needs to be. Or it could be working at 1/3 of it's efficiency but that's all the well insulated room needs so it seems fine. 10/10 btw on FO.
  22. As someome else is fond of saying, I can't remember that or be arsed looking back. If someone could do that for me please....
  23. Assume there's a pump on the system? Is it working? Not just heating the "first" rooms by convection through the pipework?
  24. If a portable stat, stick it in the coldest room?
  25. I assume your bold figures are your calculated ones? The 1800 x 700 double is rated at nom. 12000 BTU, the 1200x600 double at 7000 BTU. Rads should be killing it and making the rooms toasty IF they're getting to temp and your losses aren't too high. (FO ref the door, you're on your own).
