Inheritance Tax Planning
Onoff replied to Triassic's topic in Self Build VAT, Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL), S106 & Tax
When they do totally lose it without an LPA in place then one option is a Court Order of Protection. Hellishly expensive and grief. Going through the process at the mo ref my Mum. All this can be avoided by getting a £29.99 LPA pack from WH Smith whilst they're still compos mentis. What grates a bit here is we got the Smith's pack but my father brushed it off saying my barrister brother knew better / was dealing with it. Now there's a solicitor involved and it's all £££. WTF do I know I'm just "the youngest who likes playing with wires, wood and metal" ? Edit: Even better, it was £9.99: https://www.whsmith.co.uk/products/lawpack-power-of-attorney-kit/9781910143100.html -

There's a really wonky shop in Canterbury. I did a double take whe I first saw it: https://www.amusingplanet.com/2016/05/the-crooked-house-of-canterbury.html?m=1 -
Found what I think a 3D printed adapter that will allow me to use my 18V Makita batteries on, for a start this Aldi 20V Ferrex multi tool I bought for the princely sum of £7.95 in the clearance section. All in German. I need to buy a 2Ah Ferrex battery to scrounge the contacts from: "Die Kontakte im Adapter stammen aus einem 2.0Ah Ferrexakku" https://www.tinkercad.com/things/fKCaQO3vZn2-makita-18v-ferrexaldi-20v-adapter I really must contact my bank as I'm clearly not getting that (what was now clearly) "too good to be true" 3D printer I ordered from cogkart.CON ? have contacted the seller a couple of times with no response.

I wonder if, no doubt at great expense, you could have discreet sockets in the bi-fold frames and small, replaceable cable loops? If money were no object...

I'd buy a Tesla instead! ?

Going through the whole mixed dementia thing at the mo with my Mum. She has Alzheimer's and vascular dementia. I wouldn't recommend it! ? Too late to get LPA done for her (not for want of trying on mine & SWMBOs part). Our views were ignored by my father. Have managed to get LPA for him sorted but at a hugh cost (to him). -
Discuss ? gas/air powered heatpump
Onoff replied to scottishjohn's topic in Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP)
To have one of these I'd first need gas. -
I use a usb logger to record/prove high temperatures in problem electrical panels. Like this: https://cpc.farnell.com/lascar/el-usb-lite/datalogger-usb-temp/dp/IN04739? Thinking you want something "more"?

Yep it can be a huge fight to get your child statemented. Friends eventually managed it though up until then their daughter (off the scale problems) had been in mainstream school . The school weren't particularly supportive as they didn't want to lose them money they got for the kid who was "special" albeit not statemented. We had to fight like Hell ourselves to get help and only found out from the GP we could get psych help thru the school.

No sh!t! When I had a backup down to the cess pit earlier this year I found a pink toothbrush wedged just right to collect wipes etc. I blamed the girl who denied all knowledge!

Love the idea of all the little terraces. I can see it built into the side wall as you go up stairs. SWMBO here voiced whether the vibration of people trudging, running even, up the stairs would upset the fish? -

I was at Hastings Blue Reef Aquarium earlier. Loads of sea bass there... ?? -
Our mains pressure is ridiculous, like 8 bar. The main has to come 4 miles uphill up a valley. Traditionally only farms and a few shacks here.

There was also that stately home that burnt down that had the METAL distribution board in its cellar. Iirc vermin got it through an open knockout, made a nest and a loose connection set it ablaze. The metal board acted like a wall mounted fire and the metal conduits and trunking like chimneys.
