Onoff

Watching this closely.....

Ordered the Bernstein wc Monday night and its just turned up this morning from Germany! Wasn't expecting it until the 22nd. Efficient!

I barely touched him m'lud!

That's Siemens is gorgeous looking. Think our no name, sell off when Comet went bust came in at £160 - 170. Wouldn't be without it.

After the first one seemed a bit tight to push on I used a countersinking bit in the cordless drill to give a little lead chamfer on my Pex-Al-Pex pipes.

I just put all our kitchen waste in the DeLorean...

2 in stock at Sittingbourne apparently.

Just spoken to CEF Crayford and they could get one in for tomorrow and it'll be "£6 or £7". I reckon just phone your local branch or the next nearest and ask again quoting the stock code.

Showing 63 24"x12" at CEF's central warehouse. Part Code: F2412 Stock Code: 1453-5475

Seriously, type in "oil boiler grant".....like I did.

What size are you after?

Ta. PV is tbh something we want to look at later. Ref the boiler the existing one is seemingly 89% efficient. I'm sure when I very briefly looked at oil combis before they weren't that much better. Appreciate the current one hasn't got the combi advantages. Where do I find out about grants? Cheers

Something's got to happen soon! Wife was running a bath last night downstairs so hot from cylinder and cold from CWS. Son decides to have a shower upstairs at the same time. Shower is pumped, hot via Surrey flange in cylinder and own cold feed to pump from CWS. He switches the shower on and bath / shower both stop pretty rapidly. The tiny 25 gallon CWS tank I guess emptied meaning no flow to start the pump switch. At the same time the cylinder now has no head from the CWS. So.....he decides to have a shave.....no hot or cold in the upstairs basin! I boiled him a kettle and went to bed after giving him the whole "Of course, when we were younger and ran out of coal!". To which he replied "FFS it's 2017!"

I might pop in there tonight seeing as I didn't get her anything for Valentine's Day.....

We had a result on ours when Comet closed down. It's a pretty unknown make, Electra Elecheib. Israeli brand made in Turkey. Should have been I think £300+ but down to £199. I found a discount code that I still remember "HOB15" so a further 15% off. Schott Ceran glass, easy to clean. Super fast. Has a pause button. Cools down super quick. Switches off if pans boil over. Only pita is it WAS going in one place as depicted by my Tippex'd bin liner mock up: Then "we" decided it was moving to the left:

Missus loves it. Rings a bit small though so you have to be careful how you position things.

You know you want one Ed:

You'll be wanting a Fronius for that: http://www.rapidwelding.com/dynamic/DisplayItem.aspx?c=4075200850

54V, got to be a game changer?

Soon develops a frown after I've been in there!

I wonder if Dow Corning 795 would be any good as I might be able to get it for nowt! https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://www.siliconeconcepts.com/Category%20Data/Dow%20Corning/Structural%20Sealants/795%20(New).pdf&ved=0ahUKEwjj7PHXi5DSAhXkKMAKHU88A3wQFghoMAY&usg=AFQjCNFNerdCpDt-2BpJIWnv-zRzcAUnww

Didn't you say a while back that pretty much any old generic silicon mastic (cheapest of the cheap sort of thing) could be used to stick tiles to plywood and that it was more reliable than tile adhesive?

Cars - that helped me find the link. It was Volvo commissioned this. I remember getting as far as reading the names of the two birds who wrote it then having ABBA esque fantasies, there was that evening where they put the report to one side etc Anyway, stuff in there about pu "foams" Says about warranting further investigation. I've written and offered my services! http://bada.hb.se/bitstream/2320/9301/1/2011.2.10.pdf

Leeching. Skimmed it and saw a bit about cables made in the 70's. WAAAAYYY too heavy for me! http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.627.6558&rep=rep1&type=pdf

LSF I'm sure fares better, specifically on the leeching, but I can't remember where I read that. Will dig out the "official" source on that later. PU I don't think is out of the woods if the conditions are such as to accelerate leeching and breakdown of the cable such as increased temperatures. Hence adhering to the whole halving the cable current carrying capabilities business if run through more than 500mm etc. Again, retrofitting leaving old "leechy" T&E in place and so on. Take those comments with a large dose of "IMHO" btw. Maybe another project that'll never happen, encase a length of T&E in PIR and overload it, then do some in "foam", clamp meter on etc. "We washed this half in....!"
