You can buy cheap acoustic foam panels ex sound studios, look like they're made from foam pyramids. I lined the concealed cistern recess in the stud wall and when it fills it is imperceptible from filling to when it shuts off. Pretty sure it's the geometry of the face as well as the sound absorbing material that combine. It's not resonating off of adjacent walls or roof sheets, maybe loose, is it? You say you had it rewound, dodgy motor bearings can make a lot of noise. I've just stripped a motor at work for the very same issue. (That was a constant extract fan to an underground, bulk (bio diesel) oil storage room).

A guy I knew once asked me a similar question. Turned out he was a weed grower. He and his mate "rented" the spare room in a friends council flat where they had erected a growing tent. The fan was suspended from the tent frame by wires. The flat owner was complaining about the fan noise. His solution was to cut a huge cardboard box to fit round the fan and fill with expanding foam! ?

...ain't gonna happen! ?

Tell him you can't afford any more extras as you need to buy a new camera! ?

Put some luminous tape on or around the switch. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Self-Adhesive-Light-Tape-3M-Luminous-Safety-Warning-Stickers-Warning-Stickers/293132451757?

I imagine my lad could do it. Is there any restriction on length for the cabling to a sensor?

Erm...maths? I'm really more a monkey see/have idea, do. So...Raspberry Pi. I want to measure 4 temperatures simultaneously. I assume I will use DS18B20 sensors. I'd like to set it up sensing 24/7. An at a glance graph would be good. Even better, linked to a phone. Any pointers? Cheers

If I were to run this stuff (is this convoluted aluminium duct?), through a good length of soil pipe could that act as the basis of a DIY heat exchanger? Thinking because of the undulations it would retain heat (to exchange) better than a straight through, smooth sided metal tube. Thanks

Makes you a proper "Draadtrekker"! ? (Literal translation wire puller in Afrikaans).

At least it's consistent on here!

Just realised I put this in the wrong thread!

Update: My Dad's laptop. I've abandoned Linux Mint on it. Problems with keyring login on Skype. I just wanted it to boot up and for him to have a browser, Skype email and FB icons. Linux distros need to abandon all that keyring b@llocks. Gone back to Windows 7 Home Premium and stuck another 4GB of DDR3 in from his laptop before this one that had physical damage issues.

How about a solar power one where the panel and lamp are separate? This sort of thing. Mount panel outside and light inside: https://www.wish.com/m/c/5d79c1b6c6c19574ffe28255?

I agree but I don't write the regs. I half recall it comes from BEMA to place the cu out of reach of children and avoid them messing with it. Pity the poor wheelchair user who wants to reset an rcd etc. Especially when other controls are recommended lower (see page 49) than 1200mm.

No. Part M says 1350-1450mm to the centre line of the switches (even for wheelchair users). p22 & p49: BR_PDF_AD_M1_2015_with_2016_amendments_V3 (1).pdf

Rural NZ too.

Just found this to muddy the waters: https://community.bt.com/t5/BT-com-Community-feedback/Wayleave-Payments/td-p/1680783 Could you put bfo trampoline under the route? ?

For heat dissipation ? Do I recall you doubling up on bus bars one time, church hall job?

If you fancied a day out (Stockport, 70 miles from you) then I'm sure Dave Stansfield at SBS would show you his wares, maybe even give you a sample RCBO to show your sparks. The SBS compact RCBOs are true double pole switched in the event of a fault. Bonus if you have a TT earthing system. Reasonably priced too so you could afford to buy some spares. Just to throw a spanner in the works, Wylex was my old favourite pre the dodgy mcb scandal. I think their single module rcbo combining an AFD is great and theres no argument about compliance with the 18th. https://www.electrium.co.uk/news/wylex-launch-single-module-afdd 20190228111955_0_WY2520_Wylex_18_DCP_solutions Feb 19.pdf So much choice! ?

Built like tanks Eaton stuff. I come across it from hydraulic pumps to switchgear. Bit of a pain to deal with. Vickers became part of Eaton and it's all split into different cost centres. I've a brand new, old stock Eaton metal clad board still in the box here thinking about it, still in the box. An oldie, but a goodie! Schneider, what was Merlin Gerin is good gear too. Whatever you do go for more ways than just 2 spare.

Would a duct across your land be the lesser of two evils? Any option for you to dig the trench (for the cost of diesel) and maybe even supply/lay a suitable duct? You would then be able to present a viable alternative to overhead. Even go as far as to state on the lines of "in view of local bird/bat flight paths and in anticipation of future needs". Any mature trees that could potentially fall onto an overhead? You're not going to have the same in the future with other utilities wanting to dig/oversail your land?

Put some bat boxes up and tell them it's a flight path!

Just deny the f**kers access.

I'd have gone with "Takes one to know one!" ?
